Daily Devotional. Humble yourselves therefore under The Mighty Hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the Faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all Grace, Who hath called us unto His Eternal Glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him be Glory and Dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:6-11. We need to understand that ALL Believers, Saved by the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, ARE ON THEIR WAY TO HEAVEN AND CHRIST WILL NOT LOSE EVEN 1 OF HIS SHEEP. Using the Biblical definition of “Believer”, not even 1 Believer will lose their Salvation and end up in Hell. So why “waste” our time studying the Bible if we have no fear of losing our Salvation? Satan can’t drag a Believer off to Hell for some infraction committed by the Believer, so what’s the problem, why Study? Maybe Satan can’t “have” you, but he will do his best to try to Discourage you, Steal your Joy, Kill any desire to keep going and fight the GOoD Fight, and Destroy as many relationships with you and your Believing friends as he can. The Goal of Heaven is solid, but the amount of “Rewards” you receive in Heaven when your deeds and actions are tried by fire, is up to you. The more you Study Christ and His Ways, the more you’ll recognize the tricks, traps and deceptions Satan tries to use to tear down your Walk with Christ. You determine how far or short, how fast or slow, you Walk with the Lord. How much CHRISTLIKENESS do you want in your Life? Satan will offer all the distractions you didn’t think of and it’s up to you to push them aside, or not. Question, how hard, or how easy is it to talk you into reading your Bible? Do you jump on each opportunity to, Be Blessed?
