"Salvation Belongs to the LORD"

by Christian Worship & Scripture Songs (Esther Mui)

 

[God speaking] “’For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, making it bear and sprout, and providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 


"'so will My word be which goes out of My mouth; it will not return to Me void, useless or without result, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.’” Isaiah 55:10-11

 

“But they did not all pay attention to the good news of salvation; for Isaiah, ‘Lord, who has believed our report?’  So faith comes from hearing what is told, and what is heard comes by the preaching of the message concerning Christ.” Romans 10:16-17

 

“The Bible is a living Book, always up-to-date, just as practical today as it was 1900 years ago.  It satisfies the hungry heart, it guides the confused; it comforts the sorrowing; it enlightens those spiritually blind.  The Word of God saves a soul![1]

 

There are many approaches to sharing your faith with someone who does not yet know the Lord Jesus as Saviour.  The best one is to read Scripture with them and/ or encourage them to read it for themselves.  


Most people who know about the Bible get their understanding of it from another person or from a pastor in church.  However, there is nothing as powerful as encouraging someone to read the Bible for themselves.  The journey of personal discovery, changes lives!

 

Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still prays for you each day)

Pray for those in full-time service

Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil.  Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.

Pray for those with ongoing health concerns

Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health.  Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.

Pray for the World
