TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 ———- “But were not like those who turn their backs on God and seal their fate. We have faith that assures our salvation.” Hebrews 10:39
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Salvation is a special gift by the grace of our God. He has given us this gift by the sacrifice of his one and only son. He allowed Jesus to go through the worst of times here on this earth so that you and I could have an opportunity at living in eternity with him. He loves us as he loves Jesus. He wants us to love him as he loves us. However, he wants us to come to him willingly and without reservation. He never has and never will pressure us to believe in him. He has given each of us a free will and the opportunity to hear about the truths of Jesus. For those who chose to follow the Lord, faith is vital. Faith allows us to believe in something we cannot see but gives us the confidence we need to move forward with strength and the truth in our life. It is by the actions of our Lord throughout our lives that allow us to experience opportunities to believe in the Lord Jesus. We begin by knowing of him and then, by prayer and truth, we begin to develop a relationship with him. We hear of the experiences he had upon this earth. We hear of his death and resurrection, and through this hearing, our faith begins to grow. By the time he returns there will be no one who will not have heard of Jesus. But only a few will know him personally. It is by a strong and everlasting faith that allows for a belief that cannot be broken. It is by meditation in his word, prayer, praise and thanksgiving that we continue to grow our faith. It is by faith that a strong focus keeps us away from the desires of the world. It is by faith that we are assured of our salvations! JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
