Together Again Is Our Hope 9/30/2020
Daily Devotions: by Christina FarrisMatthew 28:17-20 KJV
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Can you expect for love ones to be there in heaven if you never tell a soul about Jesus? Can you expect a friend to be in heaven if you never told them about God's love for them? The answer is no one but those with faith in Jesus will be saved. Jesus tell his disciples to teach all things he taught them and have them to observe all things Christ not only taught but did. In other words is example was for you and me. His example oh how to live, teach, preach and work was example to others. We are to be that role model for others, but in truth we often fail. Jesus set the example in scripture and so we follow not only his Spirit but his word recording in scripture. Why is Christ way so important it is one of love, teaching of our heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit and it tells the truth about God and his love for all of us. He did not come to condemn but to tell about our need to follow Him. Christ came so we might have life and have it more abundantly.
I talk yesterday about who will be remaining with God when heaven and earth pass away and it will be his Saints, and his Son. We can not deny our hope of eternal life with our redeemer and God. We can deny that hope of eternity, but cling to it and teach the reason we have that hope in Christ. How he saved our soul, work miracles in our life, help us through our journey in life and change the lives of others too. If we want to see the next generation in heaven we must tell them the story of Jesus, must share the Gospel of truth, and teach why it so important to believe,
Our nation is in the crisis of unbelief as well as many nations. This Cov 19 does not necesarily spur faith, but it can teach us endurance in difficult times, to place our trust and hope in Jesus, that the answer whether in death or life there is hope found in Jesus. Our eternal security secure if we trust in Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to spread your gospel so others can be saved. Help us to know if we do not share God's love with the next living a generation will be without the hope of eternal life. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
Continual Scripture Study: Titus 3:3-7 KJV
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
