Are You Assured?

Oct28

Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
Hebrews 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.3.12.NASB1995

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
Colossians 2:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.2.8.NASB1995

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.
Hebrews 12:25 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.12.25.NASB1995

For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
Hebrews 10:37-39 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.10.37-39.NASB1995

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:23-25 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.10.23-25.NASB1995

🌹But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,
Hebrews 3:13-14 NASB1995

Don’t Be Deceived

Aug28

Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy (falling away from the faith) comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
2 Thessalonians 2:1‭-‬4 NASB

Don’t be expecting Jesus to come and reveal Himself in the flesh. He has already done that. When He returns it will be to crush and destroy the deceiver who opens the gateway to eternal death; The one who will “display himself as being God”.
Be aware. Seek God. Seek and you will find.

🌹“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 NASB

🌹You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon

Who Desires Life?

Apr26

Who is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. — Psalm 34:12-14

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. — James 1:26 (NLT)

What we say is a testimony to all who are in earshot of our words. Do we walk what we talk? Do we speak as to glorify God or do we speak evil and deceit? Do our words exalt our Lord or bring shame upon the Him?

Allow Jesus, our role model, our example “who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth;” (1 Peter 2:22) transform you into a person who is an example to others drawing them to Jesus.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. — Hebrews 12:14
