Cloud of Witnesses. Part-One.

We are not alone in our Journey?

Many believers when going through a bad patch think God has left them and those who have passed cannot help? But we should know that our Lord is always at hand to help us, we can call on Him anytime. Jeremiah 3:33.

We need to remember what believers advised us on certain matters, who have now passed away? We have such a rich heritage as born-again or converted believers, that we must not loose sight to these important facts.

This verse goes on to speak about the race for our heavenly reward and not to grow weary or give up, what Jesus has done for us on the cross/stake/tree!

Hebrews 12:1-2,  1 Corinthians 9:24-25,  James 1:12.

LOVE. Two.

Loving the Truth?

There is a difference between us and the lost, but it is a very little one of choice, when God reveals to us His chink of light? There are many people today who go to Church and have the name tag Christian by tradition and birth, but faith-trust in God does not come by the will of man nut God.

There are many at the same time who believe without the cross and self-denial that they know the Lord Jesus, they are always on the take? But when asked to do something, even a small thing the selfishness of their hearts are revealed and they run away.

When they saw the chink of light, they refused it to continue in their darkness, but we accepted because we love the truth of Gods word the bible and try to live by it everyday! Not living as the world, but living in the New Life!

2 Thessalonians 2:10, Proverbs 8:18, 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Love. One.

Compassion.

Do we have compassion for other people, especially those in the current news? The immigrants and refugees fleeing war, persecution and death? It is so easy today to say we love, this that and the other, but when it come to practise it can be misconstrued as something else?

The bible tells us that Jesus had compassion on the masses that were out in the fields and hills waiting on Him all day! Jesus had compassion on many people, some had little faith, others found it hard to trust and He too had compassion on us who deserved nothing but punishment for our wrong doing?

Colossians 3:25, Psalm 78:38, 145:8, Matthew 14;14, 15;32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 8;2, 1 John 3:17.
