Upon This Rock

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God ….according to Romans 10.
We must hold fast to Christ’s name and to the gospel we have learned from the beginning the apostles warned.
We can read Gods word for ourselves to learn how important this is and allow the Lord, our Good Shepherd Jesus Christ to teach us how important it is to abide in His word and listen to His voice.
He said His sheep would flee from the stranger’s voice but would know their Good Shepherd and follow Him always.
May our Lord Jesus Christ speak to our hearts as we wait silently before Him and trust Him to lead and guide us away from those who cause His sheep to err from the truth, in Jesus holy name, amen.
Remember always Jesus said, “love one another, by this all will know you are My disciples when you have love for each other. “ (*see John 13) Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come to bring life…” (*see John 10:10)
Christ’s children do not fall in league with the Devil to do harm and then justify it as God’s will…not according to the apostles and teachings of Christ. Lord help all Christians to read, read, and read over and over 1 ,2,3 John and the Gospel of John. And then read and meditate on Revelations 3…
Heavenly Father, help us to pray and ask You always as David prayed, “ Search me, oh God, and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any harmful way in me and lead me in the way everlasting,” (*See Psalm 139)
Lord engrave this truth upon our hearts that Thy word says, “He who loves God is known by God,” and…that “God has no favorites.”
We must walk in love before our Creator who is the God of love who desires that all people be saved and whose only begotten Son suffered and died a horrible death on the cross that salvation would be available for all.
Salvation is a gift of grace and love…may we truly believe in this…and thank our Heavenly Father. May God bless and keep all His precious sheep whom He loves. In Jesus’ name, amen.
