1 | we only barely get into heaven by Jesus | 1 John 5:11 | Scribe | 43162 | ||
1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Consider it like this. The storm of the century is on the way. Nay the storm of the Millenium. And this storm is the Wrath of an infinitly Holy God. Only those that cleave to Christ with the desperation of man tossed on the sea with only a life float to cleave to will survive. The idea is that of the surety of our shelter in this storm but only for those that put their faith in it as it were a desperate clinging to for life. Do we need to fear that God will let us drown if we get slack? Yes. Heresy you say? NO it is called faith! Faith in God must not relax, lest you find your faith shipwrecked. Does that put the emphasis on you? NO it puts it on Faith. The Faith that comes from God is already given, you do not have to ask for more faith or fear you do not have enough. BUT YOU DO HAVE TO USE WHAT YOU HAVE. God bless you in your study of His Word. |

Yes, our faith is in God who Keeps His promises. as the hymn writer said ... From whence this fear and unbelief, If God, my Father, put to grief His spotless Son for me? Can He, the righteous Judge of men, Comdemn me for that debt of sin Which, Lord, was charged to Thee? Complete atonementThou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er Thy people owed ; How, then can wrath on me take place, If sheltered in God's righteousness And sprinkled by Thy blood ? If Thou hast my discharge procured, And freely in my place endured The whole of wrath divine ; Payment God will not twice demand, First at my bleeding Surety's hand, And then again at mine. Turn, then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and libery ; Trust in His efficacious blood, Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus died for thee. ------------------- Faith fastens of Facts and feelings are forced to follow (L. E. Maxwell) and the facts faith focuses are the promises of God. |
