STEPPING OUT ... IN FAITH: Jesus Christ Saves!

There's A Notorious, Demonic
Counterfeit Of Faith That Many Of Us Practice 
And 
Don't Even Know It! 

It's Presumption 
And 
It Can Lead To Deadly Consequences! 
Adam And Eve 
Presumed Upon Their Creator's Great Love For Them
To Save Them From Their Great Disobedience: 
It Didn't 
And 
We Are Living Out The Results Of Their Sin! 

Our Faith Claims God's Promises 
And 
Obeys His Word 
And 
Does His Will! 

Our Presumption Claims The Promises
Expects The Gifts
And 
Deliberately Disobeys God 
Daring Him To Protect Us From Our Own Folly!

We Should Not Tempt Almighty God! 

We Need To Be Faithful To Be Blessed! 

Let's Think Straight
To Be Wise ...

If Stepping Out In Faith
Is 
To Step Into The Unknown
And
You Are Sacrificially Loved And Blessed By
And
Personally Know 
And
Are Personally Known By 
The One God Holy Who Makes The Unknown, Known
And
Who Has Promised In His Own Blood
To Never Leave You Nor Forsake You
How Can Your Stepping Out In Faith 
Be Stepping Into The Unknown!?!

He Has Said Via The Inspired Word:

As Christians, We Are Asked, Called
To Live By Faith ... Not By Presumptuous Sight!
We Are Called To Trust 
In The Unseen, Holy, Eternal
Faithful, Just, Kind, Merciful
Giving, Forgiving
Saving, Healing
Sealing, Revealing
Blessing ... All-Knowing
All-Seeing, Ever-Present
All-Feeling Creator, Redeemer, Friend-To-The-End
God Of Grace
Our Provider And Sustainer!

Since Our God Is
And
Is Real
Having Been To See Us
And
To Show Us The Way To Live To Be Blessed
And
Revealed The Right Way To Pray
And
Having Died To Save Us
Still Lives
And
Is Presently Interceding
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And
Is Soon To Return ... He Promised
For A People ... His People
Prepared And Ready To Go To His Home
Where He Has, Is Preparing, Places For Them
Why Would We Choose ... It Is A Choice
To Doubt Him At His Living And Preserved Word
Which Is A Transcript Of 
His Holy, Unchanging, Character!?!

His Mercies Showered Upon Us
Are New Every Morning!

The Lord God Almighty
Cares For All Of His Creatures
But
We Are Special:

We Are The Only Ones
Who Are Made In His Image
After His Likeness
And
We Are The Only Ones
Who Have Sinned Against His Holy Name
And
We Are The Only Ones
The Only Created Beings
For Whom ... In Sacrificial Love
He Willingly Bled 
And
Died To Save
Because
His Holy Love
Could Not ... Cannot ... Let Us Go To Damnation!

Soooo, What's With The Doubt Thingie!?!

You Just Made My Point! 

Huh!?! How!?! 

You Clearly Said: "Doubt Thingie! "

That's Like Thingamabob, Thingamajig, A Whatever

Not Worthy Of Its True Handle

It's Real Name! 

I Didn't Mean Anything By It! 

It's Just An Expression! 

Oh, Really!?!

How's About We Don't Call Sin

By Its First And Last Name

And Just Call It Cheese Danish

Chocolate Eclair

Apple Butter!?! 

You Can't Do That! 

And Why Not, Pray Tell!?! 

That Would Be Denigrating

The Holy Word Of God

And Giving Sinners Needing The Savior 
The Foolish Belief That Sin Ain't No Big Deal! 

Just Eat It ... And Get On About

Your Own Business! 

It Ain't No Biggie! 

That's Sliding Down A Slippery Slope! 

Yeah! 

One Gentle Push

And Off To Hell You Go! 

Oh, Dear! 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves!
We Need To Confess And Repent Of Our Sin!
We Need To Have Contrite Hearts
And
We Need, Now, Today
From Known Sin To Aggressively Depart!
Doubting Damns So From Doubting We Must Depart!

Jesus Christ Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Know The Right ...

By Faith
No Sin Is Too Low To Confess
No Sorrow Too Great For His Comfort!
No Need Is Too Broad For Satisfaction
And
No Hope Is Too Far-Fetched To Fulfil
According To His Will

Because

Jesus Christ Says That

We Are His Own By Creation

And

By Redemption

And

That We Do Not Travel In This Dark World Alone!

Jesus Christ The King Calls!
Jesus Christ The Righteous Answers!
Jesus Christ The Redeemer ... Saves!

The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides And Comforts

And

The Holy Angels Surround And Protect

And

Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right! 

We Should Dare To Be Bold

On This Pilgrim Journey! 

Our God Is Real, Reigning, And Returning! 

Our Savior Is Righteous And Redeeming! 

Our Redeemer Is Revealing And Sealing! 

Our Creator Is Providing And Sustaining! 

Our Shepherd Is Leading And Feeding! 

The Lord Christ ... Prince Shiloh

Is 

Our Perfect Peace! 

Brethren,

Salvation By Faith Is Personal
So I Speak For Myself

And 
With The Attitude Of The Saints

Who Have Gone To Their Rest:

My God Is Real! 

Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him! 

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

And 

If Almighty God Is For Me

Who Could Be Against Me!?! 

Before His Glorious Throne Of Grace
Let Us, In Working, Waiting, Watching, Faith
Humbly, Expectantly, Enduringly
Kneel Before Our Maker And Our God Eternal!

Jesus Christ Promised Me A Home In His Father's House

And

By His Grace

I Intend To Collect My Deed! 

We Have Choices To Make:

Feed On Foolishness From The Fiend And Fry

Or

Eat From The Hand Of The Shepherd Of Rest

And

In The Appointed Day ... With Him Leading

To Hill Zion Fly! 

Believe And Live! 

Doubt And Die! 

I'm Heading To The Sweet By And By!
