" WHAT IF GOD DIDN'T KEEP HIS WORD "

Well here we are another week has come and gone.
Are you a person of your word and does it bother you
when another does not always tell the truth? I have a
problem when I can't trust one's word to be true.
Especially those in my sphere of influence. I know that
Jesus Christ walked this earth with Truth and Honor,
and every word He spoke was true.

"Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar,
And make my speech worthless" (JOB 24:25)?

Please take notice; Salvation cannot be earned, but
God gives it freely. I'm of the belief that a great
number of us have heard of Jesus Christ and some
just refuse to believe. We don't know the day or the
hour, but Jesus is coming soon and unexpectedly.
As a believer this is good news to those of us who
trust in God, but a terrible message for those who
have rejected him and stand under judgment.
" Yes, I am coming quickly ".
Something to
ponder, would Jesus' sudden appearance catch you
off guard? Quickly means at any moment, and we
must be ready for him, always prepared for his
return.

When we become Christians, we receive the
Holy Spirit. God's presence in our lives is certainly
proof that we really belong to him. If we didn't
believe, if we didn't have faith that everything
Jesus Christ said was true then where would we be.
Satan deceives people by offering a clear imitation of
the real thing. Pride and Conceit were the Devil's
downfall, and he uses pride to trap others. " What
is desirable in a man is his kindness, and it is
better to be a poor man than a liar
(Proverbs 19:22).
God uses a number of approaches
to send His messages to people in the Old Testament
Times. Our God spoke to Jacob in a dream (Gen. 28:10-22);
He spoke to Isaiah in visions, and he spoke to Abraham and
Moses personally (Genesis 18; Exodus 31:18). The Father
had revealed himself by speaking through his son,
Jesus Christ. When we know him, we have all we need to be
Saved from our sin and to have a perfect relationship with
God.

I for one believe every single word in the Bible is true.
Listen, when you feel down, you may find it difficult to give
thanks. Take heart - in all things God works for our good
if we purpose (Romans 8:28). Thank God, not for your
problems, but for the strength he is building in you through
the difficult experiences of your life. You can be sure that
God's perfect love will see us through. What If God Didn't
Keep His Word, Then Where Would We Be.

Until Next Time...
