Reviled? Blessing!

Jun11

He (Jesus) opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Matthew 5:2, 11 NASB1995‬

We live in a world that seems to be disinterested in who Jesus is, what He does, or that He even exists. Sharing the gospel can be received with hostility and because of this God’s people seem to have replaced courage, confidence in the Lord, and being witnesses to the world with fear. But Jesus said, “Fear not for I am with you.” Jesus also warned us of retaliation so we would be prepared and gave us the Holy Spirit to speak through us. Jesus said, “blessed are”, so let us trust His Word!

You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
Matthew 10:22 NASB1995‬

These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.
John 16:3 NASB1995‬

but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.
1 Peter 4:16 NASB1995‬

🌹If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Peter 4:14 NASB1995‬

Are You Sealed?

Sep13

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”
2 Timothy 2:19 NASB

“The Lord knows those who are His.“
Aren’t those some beautiful words? As I was reading this yesterday those words just jumped off the page. I am known by the the good Shepherd! I am known by the Savior of the world! I am known by the King of kings. I am known by the Lord of lords. I am known by the Creator of all peoples and things. I am so blessed to know the God who knows me. He has revealed His great love for me and I shall love Him forever!

but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
1 Corinthians 8:3 NASB

Do you know the One who loves you like no other and knows you? I hope so. There is no better relationship you can have than knowing the one and only true, living God! Seek and you will find.

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:13 NASB

🌹I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,
John 10:14 NASB
