My dear brothers and sisters, dedicating your lives to singing for Jesus:“ Through faith you are KEPT SAFE BY GOD’S POWER. Your salvation is going to be completed. It is ready to be shown to you in the last days. Because you know this, YOU HAVE GREAT JOY. You have joy even though you may have had to suffer for a little while. You may have had to suffer sadness in all kinds of trouble. Your troubles have come IN ORDER TO PROVE THAT YOUR FAITH IS REAL.
In order to prove that our faith is indeed real we are filled with GREAT JOY by being kept safe by the power of God, through our suffering…
It is worth more than gold. Gold can pass away even though fire has made it pure. YOUR FAITH IS MEANT TO BRING PRAISE, HONOR AND GLORY TO GOD.
As strange as it may sound our joy through suffering brings great glory to God because He is able to sustain us through our troubles.
That will happen when Jesus Christ returns. Even though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not see him now, you believe in him. YOU ARE FILLED WITH A GLORIOUS JOY that can’t be put into words.” (1 Peter 1:5-8)
It is this GLORIOUS JOY OF THE LORD that is a testimony to the world.
“I trust in you with all my heart. Don’t let me wander away from your word.” (Psalms 119:10)
OUR GOD IS HONORED THROUGH OUR SUFFERING…
FaithLine, the bible says: “YOU ARE FILLED WITH A GLORIOUS JOY that can’t be put into words.”
