Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:9-10 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/isa.46.9-10.KJV
It wasn’t because we were special or because of anything we are or what we may have done in the past. We were chosen by God to receive grace and salvation through our belief in Jesus who gave His life for all of us. It truly is a marvel that God could love us enough to give His Son to save each of us from an eternity in hell. We deserve that punishment but He convicted us and gave us the faith to believe in the One Who died for us.
Now, the only thing that we can do until we see Him face to face is to tell others about our Savior and what He did for us. The same gift is available to everyone who will believe in Him. Please seek to know Him as your Savior soon.
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Romans 4:18-21 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.4.18-21.KJV
Paul wrote this speaking of Abram before he became a father by the power of God. He believed God could do whatever He intended and reckoned it to him as righteousness. Why is it so hard for us to believe in God’s promises and what He can do even today? I believe that the reason for our unbelief is due to so many people turning away from the Bible and believing in God. Yet, even someone who doesn’t believe in God will turn to Him in a time of desperation.
Is it so hard to believe that every prophecy in the Bible has already come true with the exception of the book of Revelation? Even those prophecies are coming to pass right before our eyes today. At least the ones at the very beginning of the book. God loves His creation and that includes all of humanity but He is not pleased with the way we are living and being “stewards” of the world He gave us. We have messed it up in many ways and this won’t change until Jesus comes back to rule the Earth and its people for one thousand years.
I pray that anyone who reads this page will seek to know Jesus as your Savior before the Trumpet of God sounds because there will be a terrible time after that for seven years during the Tribulation. Life will get much worse and harder to seek out God because of the “ruler” that will be here at that time. Don’t turn away from God, seek Him while there is time.
