Bible Note: 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. |
