Faith = Fellowship!

For Friday, April 14, 2023:

1 John 2:24-25 NLT: “You must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life Jesus promised us.”

We are saved by grace through faith. If we remain faithful to Jesus and his Father, the Bible says that they will remain faithful to us. It’s not a fair deal. It’s not an even trade. Believers are the clear beneficiaries of our partnership with the Lord.

When Jesus walked on earth, people only saw single incidents, individual encounters with the Savior. But following the crucifixion, and later after the publishing of the Bible, we can easily look at the entire body of work Jesus accomplished over his lifetime, much of it documented by eyewitnesses. If you consider everything that happened, you can only reach one conclusion: that Jesus was the Son of God, and we should listen to him! And if you compare Jesus’ life with preexisting prophesies, there’s even more proof. Statistically, it’s way beyond ‘coincidence.’ How can someone not be convinced?

We are asked to believe in a God we cannot see, and are offered life in an eternity so wonderful that we can only imagine its magnitude!
