FROM PASTOR JERRY:
IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.-John- 16:33
How are you handling the tribulation you are having in this world? And don’t tell me you are not having any. Even if we get too mixed up with this world, it will still see to it that we have tribulation. It’s only logical that it comes. The thief comes for no other reason than to steal, kill, and destroy. And he is the “god” of this world; therefore, all things in this world are under his influence. To choose worldly things above the things of God is like sleeping with your enemy. No matter what and how the world system gives you, it ultimately is not for your benefit.
If you are aware of how the world is deteriorating around us, then you know what I mean. Just watch the news, and you can conclude that no one is safe from the insanity of people in this world. The only safe place is under the shelter of the Almighty. This is not doubt but even there we can be at risk. The god of this world has no reason not to keep coming after you to wear you down and tempt you to quit trusting God. But, remember he that endures until the end shall be saved. The end is when we die or when Jesus comes again. When the world falls we will rise. Remember, Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”
Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, since we are justified acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold [and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.
Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.
And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.
Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
The love of God is extended to you everyday. The Lord’s grace is equal to anything you might face today. Walk in faith and be blessed. You are highly favored in God’s eyes. Afterall, He sent his son to die for you even while you were yet a sinner. His love knows no limits and His blood cleanses from all sin. With God on your side what can stand against you?
