ENCOURAGING WORDS
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 5:49 amIn you whom my faith is assured my hope secured precious father
whom else shall i seek? Shall I give my heart to men, my soul to
the world? Would anything good come from it? would it fully
satisfy me? No gain can come from it. To those who give themselves
over to the world, what treasure do they seek, what inheritance do
they think they will gain from receiving the world and giving their
souls away? Does salvation come from men? Is righteousness
gained by following the world and the direction it goes? By no
means brothers and sisters. We can gain nothing by worldly
pattern, but by our faith in God whom sent his son to die on the
cross for our sins. Through our faith in Christ who bore our
sins, so that those who would call on his name and believe would
receive an everlasting inheritance. We know god is faithful, from
the beginning he has been, so let us exchange faithfulness for
faithfulness and let our faith be true and ever rising.
