Thankful for God’s Pure Word!
Scripture reading for May 31st: Psalm 11-14
Key Scriptures: Psalm 12:6-8 “The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times. O Lord, You will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever. The wicked strut about freely when what is vile is honored among men.”
As in our day and time, the wicked and proud of Israel were strutting about because what was vile had been promoted and honored in the times they were living in. King David rejoiced in God’s faithful promise to protect the righteous against the treachery of the wicked. God could be counted on to honor His Word, not only in that time, but forever!
Thankful for God’s flawless Truth: There are only two types of people on the earth: Those that believe in the Son of God and those who do not! One has eternal life, the other eternal wrath! “The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in His hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.” (John 3:35-36)
Who do you believe Jesus is?
Scripture reading for April 8th: John 3
Key scriptures for over-comers: John 3:35-36 “The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in His hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”
John the Baptist was Jesus’ cousin and the forerunner who prepared the way for the Messiah. He testified that he was not the Christ. He went on to state that the Father loved the Son, (Jesus) and whoever would believe on the Son would have eternal life. However, the converse was also true. Whoever rejected the Son would never see eternal life but would remain under God’s wrath. What a person believes about Jesus Christ determines their eternal destiny! This is the simple message of the Gospel and it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe! (Romans 1:16) “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Observations for over-comers: Simple trust and full reliance on Jesus Christ as God’s Son is the key to eternal life for disciples and all who will receive this message. Rejecting the Son means God’s wrath is upon those who do so. “Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.” (Psalm 2:10-12)
