Do You Hear What I Hear?
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Listen . . .
Do you hear what I hear?
I’m talking about that beautiful sound in your soul that rises above all the noise of this world – a sound straight from Heaven.
It’s the sound of God calling you to trust Him, no matter what happens.
As the Apostle Paul assured the Corinthian church in his letter, God is faithful.
God “is” faithful.
If you love Him completely, have a repentant heart, and trust that your salvation comes through His Son, Jesus Christ, you are saved.
All glory to God!
Can we even fathom how amazing that is?
Known and Loved
What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him? – Psalm 8:4, (NASB).2
The Almighty knows yours and my name.
We have countless reasons to let our lights shine – a reflection of His goodness.
Those that wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ will be kept by him, and confirmed to the end; and those that are so will be blameless in the day of Christ: not upon the principle of strict justice, but gracious absolution; not in rigour of law, but from rich and free grace. How desirable is it to be confirmed and kept of Christ for such a purpose as this! How glorious are the hopes of such a privilege, whether for ourselves or others! To be kept by the power of Christ from the power of our own corruption and Satan’s temptation, that we may appear without blame in the great day! O glorious expectation, especially when the faithfulness of God comes in to support our hopes! – Matthew Henry, Christian minister and author.3
Do you hear what I hear?
It’s God’s call for His children to come to Him.
We can’t earn our salvation through our deeds.
We simply need to open our hearts and respond to His amazing free gift of grace.
