SAA Notes
Faithfulness to Christ leads inexorably to your responsibility to your neighbour. Verses 23-25 should be learnt by heart. Verse 24 is a good motto for any family or church!
SJA Notes
* Dear God, please help us take each opportunity to know You better that You bring to us.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
How we act, our behaviour, our _obedience_, is very important.
Are we trampling underfoot the Son of God?
Are we profaning the blood of this new covenant?
Are we outraging the Spirit of grace?
If we shrink back the soul of God has no pleasure in us.
Regardless of how the world around us perceives God, we must remember that it is a _fearful thing_ to fall into His hands – He is the LIVING GOD.
And so we hold to this – that in Christ we are _not_ of those who shrink back and are destroyed!
Let us be those who have faith, those who preserve their souls.
* Gracious God,
Thank You for the confidence we have in You.
Pleas grow endurance in us, ready us for each day.
Thank You for Jesus!
Amen.
