Posted: 30 Aug 2009 06:16 AM PDT According to the following texts, what can we be confident about? 1 John 5:13 This is a promise to all those who believe in the name of the Son of God. The promise here is that those who believe have eternal life. The fact that our belief in the Son of God is something that gives us eternal life is something that we can be confident about. In a world filled with death , darkness , and despair our confidence can rest in the fact that God has promised us another life ,of joy and peace which lasts eternally. Glory to God! 1 John 5:15 This is a passage which is talking about prayer and gives us a confidence that God not only hears our prayers but answers. When you think of the infinite God who listens to our requests this is amazing , but even more amazing is his desire to grant those requests. Let us not forsake the privilege of prayer , to commune with our heavenly Father. 1 John 5:18 This promise is so exciting it literally made me scream! God has the power to keep us from the tampering and the distribution of the Devil. Those who are Gods children need not worry because the bible declares no weapon formed against you shall prosper. 1 John 5:19 This promise helps us to see where we are as the children of God we are God's possessions. Even though the world is in the power of the enemy we are under the power of God almighty. We have confidence because we know that our Father will take care of us in this cruel and wicked generation. 1 John 5:20 This is very good this passage lets us know that the Son of God has come to grant unto us understanding. Not only will he grant us understanding but we can abide in the one who is true and has all understanding Jesus Christ. How many times have you disappointed yourself in the last month, week, or even day? We would say, "Keep a record of those disappointments," but that might be too discouraging. How does the reality of your own foibles bring home the need to make sure that your confidence rests in Jesus and not in yourself? Most assuredly is makes me realize that I need help. Often times pride comes into many thing that we put our hands to , even our religion. The clearer picture you have of yourself the more you recognize that you need help. When we behold the beautiful character of Christ we begin to see our true deficiency. When we understand our need to remove our confidence from ourselves to to risen Lord. Prayer: Father there are many things that seek to disturb our confidence in you. Today we grasp tightly with all of our strength to hold onto the promises of God, we will not let go! God today grant us your confidence so that we may trust you fully. Thank you in Jesus name I pray amen. |
