We are facing a dangerous life not everyday but every hour.
1 Cor 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
1 Cor 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
1 Cor 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
1 Cor 15:33 Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
We need to have protection from evil. Below verse should not be written if it is not so.
Ps 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.
In fact, there are many verses in the Bible proving that the angels of the Lord really came and delivered them from fear and death.
Lk 2:9 And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
2 Cor 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us:
Apostle Paul also stated in his letter to the Corinthians.
2 Cor 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.
2 Cor 11:24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one.
2 Cor 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
2 Cor 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
2 Cor 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
2 Cor 11:28 Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
It is our consolation therefore that God the Father really cares for us He knowing everything about us.
Mt 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
Mt 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Mt 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Sparrows have no angels guarding them but all people of God have. Who is afraid then of temptation, sin or death if you know these assurances from God.
Lk 12:4 And I say to you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Is this not taught by Jesus in the Lord's prayer?
Mt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Lk 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
We are constantly surrounded by danger...by the grace of God we can face danger without fear, those it is easily said that done.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy when you have faith and believe that the flesh is of no value.
ReplyDeleteJn 6:63 It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
