youtube/watch?v=bpWADqOoRTY this song has repeatedly come to my heart this week How is it that God takes His word and purifies us to the point we are not afraid. I see that we have to come to the place that no matter how awful bad things and situations may look for us, We know our God is good and does all things well and will reward us richly whether in this life or the next life because we are purified not by our good works but because we believe in Gods promises and claim them for us. 2 Peter 1:Make Your Calling Sure 3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If our righteousness depended on what we do after we are saved we would be lost again with no hope of ever having savation again..but our righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus and we are to submit to Him working His will in our hearts to do of His good pleasure which is always in our best interests. Without faith it is impossible to please God. To hope you will be saved is not faith. Read more: whatchristianswanttoknow/the-promises-of-god-10-powerful-bible-verses-1/#ixzz3DmRew1Sk
