A Christian’s life is eternal
John 10:27-28, My sheep know My voice and I know them and they follow Me. I give them eternal life and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from Me. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. He will give eternal life to those who persist in doing good and righteous, seeking after what God has to offer. He offers eternal life, glory and honor and immortality for all those who live holy unto Him, to those who love Him and are faithful to Him. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Titus 1:2, God promised eternal life before the world began. Jude 21, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. We have to endure to the end to be saved.
When God made Adam and eve He made them perfect and all creation was made perfect. It wasn’t His will that it would be sin in the world that He had made. He made man and woman to live forever for He made them in His own image. Everything was beautiful and perfect. Because they sinned and things changed God made another way for it to be perfect again. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus to be born of a Virgin Mary and walk this earth teaching and preaching the Word of God. Then He was crucified and died and was buried. But on the third day He arose and He walked on earth for a while then He ascended up into Heaven where He is sitting at the right hand of the Father. He’s been interceding for His children for all of these years and is waiting for the Father to tell Him to go get His children. He has made Heaven for all of those who are following Him to live forever.
A Christian’s life is rewarding
Gen.15:1, God cane to Abram in a vision saying, Fear not for I am your shield and your exceeding great reward. Our greatest reward is when we get to Heaven to live with our Lord Jesus Christ forever. We can see the rewards for His children while here on this earth in the Beatitudes that Jesus taught on the mountain. You can read them in Matt.5:3-12. We are blessed while we are here on this earth if we abide in Him and in the Word of God. Great are the rewards here for God’s people and then we can be excited for the rewards in Heaven to come. We have a short life here on earth but Heaven will be eternal. The earth will be cleansed and we will live on a new earth forever with no sin, pain, sickness, sorrow, death or hurts. What a reward to look forward to a new life living with the saints and far better, we will live with Jesus Christ our Savior.
God’s power keeps the saints
Gen.28:15, God is our companion in this pilgrim walk. Behold I am with you and will keep you in all places wherever you go. I will not leave you or forsake says the Lord. God is a sleepless watchman for He never slumbers or sleeps. The Word of the Lord will stand forever. Blessed are they that hear the Word and obey. John 17:11, Jesus prayed, Now Father I am no longer in the world but these are in the world and I come to You Holy Father, keep them through Your name all of those that You have given Me that they may be one as We are one. Jesus knew how hard it was to live in this world among all of the evil. He had such a compassion for His children and still does. He is ever interceding for His children to the Heavenly Father. II Thessalonians 3:3, The Lord is faithful and who shall make you strong and keep you from the evil one, the devil. God is our Almighty Guardian.
God is our protector in many ways
Ex.14:14, He is the God of our battles. The Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace. So many Christians try to fight their battles without the Lord and they fail. He said we can hold our peace while God fights our battles. How many people do you see that have peace in their battles? We need to put it all in is His hands and get out of His way and just have peace like He told us.
Ps.31:3, He is our Rock and our Fortress. He can lead you out of the perils of this life. What kind of problem are you having that’s causing you so much heartaches and troubles? David said that you don’t have to worry or struggle with these things. Jesus will lead you right out of these perils in your life if you will allow Him to. Let go and let God do it for you.
Ps.17:8, He is our hiding place. David said to the Lord, hide me in the shadow of your wings. When we are in Jesus no one can harm us for He hides you from this evil generation. He is a blessed hiding place. There’s such peace and comfort in Him. His arms of love satisfy us and keep us warm as He hides us.
Prov.14:26, He’s our Refuge. He is a place of refuge for His children and protector. He gives us grace and glory. No good thing will He withhold from us. We can go to Him for safety and security. He’s our refuge from the storms of this life. He’s our helper and shield. He’s our strength and our shield. I am your God and I will strengthen you.
Isa.46:3-4, Even in old age He is still our God and He will carry you. He said, I made you and I will bear you, I will carry and deliver you. In the New Living Translation it says this. Listen to Me, I created you and I have cared for you since before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime until your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you. Verse 9, I am God and there is no one else like Me. For I am God and there is none other. There has never been a God before Him and there will never be another God.
