The Promises Of God Are Steadfast And Sure

 The person and work of Jesus was testified by God the Father and was validated by the prophesied Messianic signs, wonders, and miracles that He Himself carried out in His life and ministry and which continued into those early years of the Church.  In God's grace, this testimony is also displayed in our own lives by the gifts of the Holy Spirit He gives to each one according to His own perfect will and wisdom.
 The Promises Of God Are Steadfast And Sure. They stand secure on the unchangeable and trustworthy character of God. For this reason, we are exhorted to pay close attention to what we have heard so that we do not drift away from the truth of the gospel, nor are swept along by every wind of doctrine.
 The Bible also warns us to give heed to the Word of God and outlines the consequences of giving insufficient attention to the witness of Scripture.  Yet, we live in a world that has outlawed God's Word and poured scorn on His holy character.
 Let us not be influenced by the secular mind-set of the world, but trust the testimony of God Himself. Let us ALL hold fast to the unchanging and unchangeable character of God Who loved the world so much that He gave His life so that we might live.
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many evidences in the Word of God and in our own personal lives, of Your unchanging character. Thank you for the unchangeable truth in Scripture and the many signs that authenticate Christ's Person and work. May we live to Your praise and glory and tell forth the truth of the glorious gospel of grace to all we come in contact with. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
