Weekly Devotionals 2006
Week 19
"As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. 1 John 2:24-25
Words can bring great comfort to a heart that needs encouragement. The word "abide" is just such a word. The true believer abides in Christ continually.
We now have security in Jesus and His Father. From the moment you believe the abiding begins. (Refer to week 17)
The future is also secure for us. When we are called home we will inherit the rest of the abiding which has been prepared for us. At that time the completion to the abiding will be in the presence of Father and Son forever. What a day that will be!
And as we wait we see John remind us of the promise of the ages. Eternal life is the promise given to us through Jesus Christ. We are living now but one day we will be "fully alive" in Christ for eternity. Isn’t that a great hope to ponder?
Let's remember the price that was paid for this wonderful gift given to us. Jesus Christ!
QUESTIONS TO PONDER
How is your "abiding" in Christ bringing you encouragement today?
What can you do today to enhance the "abiding" life for someone else?
Take some time today to reflect on "eternity with Jesus in His Light forever."
Wow what a grand and glorious day it will be when we all see Jesus!
Blessings to all,
