What Did You LEARN
THINK and REASON
GODcha’s #18 LEARN Question.
18. What is the awesome Truth for you if you are saved and beloved? (v24)
Sum It Up!
God is ABLE:
To establish (make us steadfast in mind, confirm, strengthen) us.
To make His grace abound to us, supplying all the grace we need to cover our sins.
To do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.
To save forever those who draw near to Him.
To give those who believe in Christ eternal life and raise us up on the last day.
To do all things, and His purpose cannot be thwarted.
We can relax and be assured of His ABILITY!
God Has the ABILITY to Keep Us From Stumbling while here on this earth!
He who keeps you will not slumber, establishing our steps, holding our hand and will not allow our foot to slip.
Because He has the power. Nothing is too difficult for Him.
No one can snatch you out of the Father’s hand.
Because He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
God is ABLE to take us to heaven where He is to Stand In the Presence of His Glory
On earth we are standing in His grace.
In heaven we will stand in the presence of His glory.
Blameless With No Fear but Great Joy!
By sanctifying us entirely, preserving us complete – spirit, soul and body. We will be without blame at Jesus’ coming.
Because He is faithful and will bring it to pass.
Because He chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless.
He will present to Himself – the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
Jesus will confirm us to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
LISTEN to God Speak
God Talks – We LISTEN!
We Talk – He LISTENS!
Oh, This is The Most Amazing Part of Your Journey!
GODcha’s #18 LEARN Question.
- How has such Truth set me free from any fear and worry? Is my heart and soul rejoicing right now, knowing:
a. God is ABLE;
b. God will keep me from stumbling;
c. God will make me stand in the presence of His glory;
d. God will present me blameless?
Respond to Him. . .LIVE it out!
We Are Done For the Day!
Mull over what God, through His Spirit just taught us.
Let me leave you with this:
“What do these schools have in common? Harvard, Yale, Columbia, William and Mary, Dartmouth, Princeton. “Well,” you say, “They’re all colleges.” You’re right—all universities. Right, but what do they have in common? You say, “Well, they’re Ivy League schools.” Most of them, but what do they have in common? They were all founded and built for the propagation of the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every one of them had a Bible foundation; every one of them was founded for the preaching of the gospel, the training of ministers, and godly Christian laymen, to spread the gospel across America. What a tragedy! The same thing that has happened to these schools has happened to many once-great denominations. And, the same thing that has happened to many once-great denominations has happened—God help us—to many churches. There has been an apostasy. The word apostasy means “a falling away from the faith,” or, “a turning from the faith.”” Adrian Rogers

Let’s Bow Before the Father
Perhaps. . .
GRACIOUS FATHER IN HEAVEN, we bow before You, You who are able. We are so grateful for Your holy Word to us, for such knowledge to encourage us and set us free from any worry or fear. Oh, that You have a purpose and plan for each one of us that no one can thwart! Oh, that You are able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think to accomplish that plan. To present us to Yourself by Your incredible power because You have saved us forever; You are establishing us, making us steadfast in mind; You have given us eternal life and will raise us up on the last day! You who began a good work in us will perfect it, complete it. You are right there guarding us, seeing to it that we will not stumble. We will never fall away from You if we are truly saved! What an incredible promise! We thank you and are most grateful that because You chose us and called us into fellowship with Your Son, You are ever so faithful to sanctify each one of us, so we will stand in Your very presence blameless with great joy! Oh Hallelujah! What a Wonderful God You are! Thank you for such marvelous truths! To You in deed be glory, honor, and praise forever and ever. Amen!
I commend you for being faithful to be diligent to learn what God has to say to you.
Next: We will come to the end of Jude’s exhortation to us, and now see what God will do.
