Stand Firm
13But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginninga to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth. 14To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.
16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope, 17encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.
Brethren I thank God for you and even though we may be separated on this earth by location I look forward to the time we will have in heaven together and being able to sit with all of you at the Lords table!
"God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth". This is hard for us to comprehend because we are stuck in time but God is not. He chose you from the beginning! Why? Because He loves you! He called you through the Gospel so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isn't that wonderful? He chose you!
Therefore brethren, stand firm!
I repeat verses 16 & 17 as my prayer for you!
"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope, 17encourage your hearts ❤️ and strengthen you in every good word and deed."
May our God bless you this day! David
