You are not interested in re
ligion probably. But you ARE in
terested in security. Security is
not found in being religious but
it IS found in being right with
God. There has never been any"
security outside the arms of God!
The promises of God’s providen
tial care are always based upon
the condition that we love and
obey Him. To be sure, God is of
great mercy and “makes his sun
to rise on the evil and on the
good and sends the rain on the
just and on the unjust," but He
has never obligated Himself to
take care of those who reject
Him as Lord of their life. We.
seem to feel that, since God is
love, He will see to it that every
thing works out for us some way
and that, in the end, we will all
make it to heaven regardless of
how we live. But God’s word
says: "All things work together
for good to them that LOVE
GOD!” God is love, but He is
also holy and will not “wink at
sin."
The question is this: Do I love
God? If we do then we have real
security in this life and forever!
What is the test of whether or
not we love the Lord? Jesus said:
“He that has my commandments
AND KEEPS THEM (does them)
he it is who loves me . . . you
are my friends if you do what
ever I command you ... If you
love me, keep my command
ments.”
WOULDNT YOU like to have
the peace and assurance of real
security?
