He Who Promised is Faithful

 Guest Blog by Gary Riedel

S - SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He Who promised is faithful.

O - OBSERVATION: Hebrews was written during a time of severe persecution for the Christians. This book is a reminder that the News ways of atonement by Jesus Christ is superior to the old ways of animal sacrifice. The blood of Jesus makes atonement for all sins that were ever and will ever be committed by mankind. What is necessary on our part is confession. 1 John 1:8,9
If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God is faithful!

A - APPLICATION: So how about today? We would have to be blind to not to see how Christians are being persecuted today. No prayer in school, and look what we have in it’s place; all manner of things that are an abomination to our Lord God. Look at our country; killing babies, mutilating children, gay marriage, and an atrocious mismanagement of funds and God given resources by our government. I say to all of you, remember this verse if times get tough, cling unswervingly to the hope that God’s Spirit put within you, knowing that His promises are faithful. Rev. 2:10b, “Be thou faithful even unto death and I will give you a crown of life.” Eternal Life with Jesus! God WILL be faithful to that, that’s what this verse is about!

P - PRAYER: Lord God, I pray that all who read these words will be faithful even until death. May Your Spirit work such a faith in all of us, In Jesus Name, Amen
