Theme: Standing Firm the condition that unlocks God’s promise
Bible verse: But Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm on to the end. Hebrews 3:6
Life point:
Friends! I want to call your attention to the word “if” in the scripture above because we often do not like to pay attention to the “ifs” in the Bible. Like this, we see what God will do , “if” we will do what we are supposed to do.
We have awesome privilege of being members of the Father’s house, “if” we remain firm in faith until the end. Going to the alter and praying a sinner’s prayer is only the beginning of our walk with Him, we must continue in faith.
Confidence and faith are virtually synonymous. I can give a long fancy definition of faith, but let us boil it down, “ faith is confidence in God”. In simple terms, faith is the act of knowing that if God says He will do something, He will do it. Even if it does not look like He is doing it right now, it will come to pass in His timing “ if” we remain confident in Him.
The only two things that can interrupt faith are: the manifestation of what is believed, or the manifestation of doubt and unbelief. In Christ , we can remain standing firm on the inside because we know that our real life is within us, not in the people or circumstances outside of us.
Friends your soul is far more precious than silver and gold . It is worth the precious Blood of Jesus! Accept Him as Lord and Savior and experience His glory now and life to come!
Prayer:
Oh Lord do not permit unbelief and procrastination to shut me out of Your plan for my life in Jesus mighty name!
