When you are deeply peaceful and confident that, because of Christ, God will bring you safely to his eternal kingdom and be the all-satisfying Treasure of your life forever, then you are free to see the truth, and love the truth, and speak the truth no matter what, and joyfully spread a passion for the truth whose name is Jesus.
Interpretation
True peace and confidence in God allow one to embrace and share the truth without fear.
This quote emphasizes the profound sense of freedom that comes from a deep-rooted faith in God, particularly through Christ. When one is certain of their eternal safety and divine purpose, they are empowered to recognize, articulate, and promote the truth — in this case, the truth about Jesus. This connection to faith not only fosters internal peace but also inspires a commitment to sharing that truth with others passionately.
In practice
This quote can be shared during a church service to inspire the congregation.
God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.
You don’t have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. But you do have to know the few great things that matter, perhaps just one, and then be willing to live for them and die for them. The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by one great thing.
Do all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.
Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
As you walk through the valley of the unknown, you will find the footprints of Jesus both in front of you and beside you.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; _x000D_ Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: _x000D_ For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; _x000D_ His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, _x000D_ On earth is not his equal.
We go wherever God leads whenever God moves us...because we love His glory more than we love our lives.
The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith.
Pray and learn to pray! Deepen your knowledge of the Word of the Living God by reading and meditating on the Scriptures.
Faith is the root, the necessary beginning. Hope is the stem, the energy that makes the plant grow. Love is the fruit, the flower, the visible product, the bottom line. The plant of our new life in Christ is one; the life of God comes into us by faith, through us by hope, and out of us by the works of love.
