Words of Encouragement
September - 10 - 2006
We live in a world of keys, locks, alarms, and security systems. We protect the things that are most valuable to us. However, what is most valuable to us? What is more precious to us than the truth of God's saving grace in the Gospel? Thankfully, God has pre-wired all of us with a security system to help protect that incredibly precious hope. This security system lives in us. It is the Holy Spirit.
The Scripture reading today is from 2 Timothy 1:13-14.
13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who swells in us.
Let us go to our heavenly Father in pray.
Help us, O God, to not compromise your truth to legalism or license. We want to live, and show others how to live, a holy life. We want to share your grace and mercy with them. But most of all Father, we want them to join with us in welcoming Jesus when he returns. Please empower us by your Spirit to see through falsehood and error so we can protect and live your truth.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
