BIBLE STUDY – SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

FAITH AND FAITHFULNESS

1 THESSALONIANS 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

I am called of the LORD according to his purpose, therefore all things must work together for my good.  Our words should be fostering our own success.

HEBREWS 6:10-16   10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (GOD knows what you are doing in his name and he will not forget what you have done and are doing.  We don’t have to worry about getting man’s approval because GOD sees our labour of love and is pleased)

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: (Most people start and stop, never to finish anything.  The BIBLE says SEE IT TO THE END! – diligence)

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (To inherit the promise we must have faith and patience)

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, (Our GOD is so great he swears on his own name – SO HELP ME ME!)

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. (Patience and endurance obtains the promise.  What impresses GOD is faith.  GOD is the one I am living to impress)

16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

GALATIANS 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.  (Everything that GOD promised Abraham is mine)
