‘You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.’
(1 Peter 1:18-19, ESV)
I will never become a trillionaire.
I will never become a billionaire.
I will likely never become a millionaire.
But I have Jesus, and that makes me wealthy beyond measure.
Believers, here is how we can guard our hearts against temptation:
• Memorize Scripture
• Stay accountable to other Christians
• Avoid places that lead to sin
• Find your chief delight in Jesus
We must be proactive in our fight for holiness.
When you get an invitation to a gay “wedding,” that’s not just an invitation, it’s a theological test... [Be ready to be called] a “legalistic monster” [and face] loss of relationship within your family. — Voddie Baucham
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
Isaiah 43:2
Christian, do not let your trials make you doubt God's love for you. He proved his love once and for all on the cross of Calvary.
He is using your current suffering to prepare you for glory.
