Submitting To God’s Discipline
Christians, covered by the blood of Christ, can no longer be punished for their sins – but they will be tested and disciplined by their loving Father.
Standing Strong To the End
God’s people will continue to go through trying times, but as they trust in God’s Sovereignty and their future eternal reward it will enable them to stand strong to the end.
Daniel 12
My Only Comfort – Part 2
Knowing all of these things, what is your only comfort in life and death? That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that all things must work together for my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, from this day forth, to live unto him.
Matthew 10:28–31; Romans 8:28–30
