GENUINE OR IMPOSTER?

 

2 Timothy 2:19

 

"But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.'" ESV

 

God is the builder of the Church. Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone, secured forever by the seal of God's hand. A seal signifies ownership and removes any doubt about the Truth. Many people proclaim they are Christians, but they aren't. God knows those who are genuinely His. They have turned from their own selfish ways. God's Church, made up of His people, is pure and holy, founded on Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone.

 

Heavenly Father, we thank You that You have provided the way for us to be Your own. Help us to use our faith and to live holy before You and before others, so that Your Church brings You glory and honor. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

SOMETHING SOLID TO STAND ON

 

 

1 Corinthians 3:11

 

"For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." ESV

 

A foundation is the base on which everything else stands. As Christians, our foundation is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Everything we do must come from this foundation. We are to stand on it, build on it, and grow from it. Allowing personal ideas and philosophies of the world to enter in to our building of faith is destructive and will not stand up under the hand of God.

 

Heavenly Father, we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Help us to be alert and watch every thing we add to the foundation of our lives. Show us when we are adding our own ideas or those of others. Keep us focused on You so that our foundation does not become weak. Help us to hunger for You and Your Word so that we will build on Jesus Christ alone. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

LIVING IN HARMONY

 

Romans 12:16

"Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited."NIV

"Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits."KJV

Harmony is an impossible thing to achieve if there is no standard ideal in which to line ourselves up. If we expect others to get in line with our own personal beliefs and ways, there will certainly be no lasting harmony. If we all use Jesus Christ as our standard of living and relating to others, it doesn't matter if we are rich or poor, there will be perfect harmony. What beautiful music the harmony of true believers make when Jesus Christ is the center of all things.

Heavenly Father, for the times we have expected others to line themselves up with us and our way of thinking, forgive us. Give us humble hearts so that we will always act in line with what Jesus would do and obey the Word of God. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

GOD KNOWS HIS OWN

God is the builder of the Church. Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone, secured forever by the seal of God's hand. A seal signifies ownership and removes all doubt about the truth of God's word. Many many people proclaim they are Christians, but they are not. God knows those who are genuinely His. They have turned from their selfish and ungodly ways. God's Church is pure and holy, built on Jesus Christ, the cornerstone and the foundation of the Word of God.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that we can have unwavering faith in your Word. Help us to live holy before you and before men, so that your Church brings you glory and honor. In Jesus' name.

Read 2 Itmothy 2:19

"Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this
inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and 'Everyone who
confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.'"
(NIV)

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (KJV)
