My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. For He who promised is faithful.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters from the above context we learn that God is faithful, in His promises. He is faithful enough to deliver you from all your problems. We have full confidence of protection and provision by our God. He is faithful, to save you to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through Him, since he always, makes intercession for them. We also understand that the above context deals with faith. Holding fast is the first indication of faithfulness. Faithfulness also means reliable or trustworthy, because it is fully convicted of the truth of God. Faith in God corresponds to God’s faithfulness. Gods faithfulness should awaken faith in us. So we can respond in submissive obedience. If He is worth trusting we should trust Him.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Since God is faithful, it has become our responsibility to imitate Him in being faithful by committing our lives to well doing. Our Lord who is faithful in His promises is faithful enough to deliver you from all your problems and to provide the means for a relationship with God. Faith is defined as complete trust or confidence in someone. Having faith in the love and sovereignty of God is the most prevalent concept, of the Bible. Scripture compares us to have faith in God and the commandments of His word.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see , because faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ. We need to know that it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Paul commands them to hold fast to their profession. Paul exhorts them to continue to persevere in the grace that God had already shown.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We need to exhort one another, in the faith, zeal and diligence and in all works of piety and virtue. They must draw near to God, their conduct should be pure and holy.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord, thank you for teaching us to be concerned about others and to have a close relationship with God. Teach us Lord to draw near to God. Help us to be chaste and Holy. Make us to know how important it is to be faithful to God and hence walk by faith.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
