He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:15, ESV
Do you listen to Christ and His followers, or do you listen to what sounds best to you?
Do you seek the truth found in the Bible or, like Thomas Jefferson, pick your favorite parts only?
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23, ESV
We know that God is faithful in love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness, because the cross of Christ proved His faithfulness.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17, ESV
Faith in Christ primarily comes from the preaching of the Gospel from the Scriptures.
Know the Gospel. Believe it. Share it with others that they may be saved.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
Psalm 130:5, ESV
The Bible has made many promises, ultimately fulfilled in Christ. So, as we await His return, we trust in those promises found in Scripture.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:7, ESV
Trusting the Lord brings the blessings of forgiveness, grace, a changed heart and mind, inner peace, and eternal life in Christ.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
James 1:5 ESV
God desires that we each turn to Him for true wisdom, which is His righteousness in Christ.
Turn to Him today, and receive God’s wisdom.
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
2 Peter 3:9, ESV
We only have this one life to choose Christ. God wants a populated eternity, not empty. He gives us this one time to turn to Him, so be grateful He has waited for you.
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord , that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
Isaiah 55:6-7, ESV
Today is the day of salvation. Once this life is over, there are no more chances to seek and call on the Lord.
Choose today to know God and be pardoned of all sins!
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
Matthew 5:6, ESV
Those who truly want righteousness and justice find their full satisfaction in Jesus Christ alone.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105, ESV
Our world, our lives, our walk with God all makes sense through Scripture, the Word of God. Only by it do we see the answer to evil, sin, and the need for a Savior.
And Who that Savior is.
