THE PROMISE OF GOD (05-24-10)

Mark 10:26
“Then who can be saved?”
--------------------------------------------------------

We all live in the age of grace. Even though we commit grave sins, no angel will come and kill or punish you. God has already fulfilled his promise of salvation. Fulfilling the promise of salvation made to our first parents at their fall by sending His Son into the world.

And the application to all generations of mankind of the redemption that the Son of God made Man obtained for us by His passion continues until the end of time: it will conclude with the end of the world when the Messiah comes to complete His work and lead us into His kingdom.

We knew in our heart that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life – our only salvation. And yet, we sometimes keep a hardened heart. Our disobedience, keeps us from attaining salvation.

Because of our pride and ego, we want to follow our own way and not God’s way. Listen to our loved ones. When he finally listened and followed what God, we become a new creature by faith in our Lord.

We must prepare a straight path for the Lord, removing all obstacles which stand in the Lord’s way preventing him from coming.

All the crooked ways in our life, all the worldly cravings and sins of the flesh need to be straightened out and taken out.

Follow Him and be cleanse of our sins. Believe in the Lord and accept God's promise of salvation.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, we pray for all who are in need of healing. We pray for all who are disabled by injury or illness. We pray for all who are troubled by confusion or pain. We pray for all about to undergo surgery. We pray for patients here at the hospital and their loved ones. Lord, hear the spoken and unspoken prayers in our hearts and minds. Amen.

The Lord will remember his covenant forever.
