That Being Justified By His Grace, We Should Be Made Heirs According To The Hope Of Eternal Life - Part 2545

"Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your back-slidings. Behold, we come unto Thee: for Thou art the Lord our God. Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God." (Jeremiah 3:22-25)

As we see that particular day approaching, the day of the return of the Lord Jesus, He is inviting us once again to enter into His peace and joy and love, knowing that He is who He said He is -- our Lord God and Saviour Jesus the Christ.

Isaiah wrote, "I am the Lord, and there is none else; there is none beside Me, there is no God beside Me!" (Isaiah 45:5)

Jude wrote. "To the only wise God our Saviour; be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever, amen." (Jude 1:25)

From  Titus, "But after the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour .. that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:4-7)

"O Lord, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth." (Isaiah 25:1)

Indeed, the Lord is so good, but we also need to understand that His salvation will not tarry forever. Thus, we need to hearken unto the Lord, remembering that He is God and there is none else -- " I am God, and there is none like Me." (Isaiah 46:9) 

For salvation, read Peter's message (when he stood with the eleven) on the day of Pentecost -- Acts 2:36-41; Acts 2:36-47)

Know that He will bring near His righteousness and that He is not far off. Know too that in this current dispensation of grace, His Name is JESUS for He shall save His people from their sins ... Emmanuel, being interpreted, God with us. (Matthew 1:21-23) 

And once you've been clothed in His righteousness in water baptism, taking on the precious, holy name of Jesus, don't forget to sand in the offering plate.
