Today’s Feast Sep. 27, 2015 – Joshua 23
I Await Your Prayerful Comments!
“33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew
6:33, English Standard Version (ESV)
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will
spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s
Word in approximately three years.
Dear Saints,
Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue
the Feast in Joshua, Chapter
23 ; “Joshua's exhortation before his death. (1-10) Joshua warns the people of idolatry. (11-16)” – Matthew
Henry Concise.
Joshua
says farewell to God’s chosen people, and talks about God’s blessings on
them. In doing so he warns them not to turn to the evil ways of the people
God conquered for them; “14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you
know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of
all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have
come to pass for you; not one of them has failed. 15 But just as all the good
things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for
you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the evil things, until he has
destroyed you from off this good land that the Lord your God has given you,
16 if you transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded
you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the
Lord will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the
good land that he has given to you.”” Joshua
23:14-16,
ESV. Previously we have stated that God never changes. So the question I am
posing is can we lose our salvation? I’m inclined to believe that if we truly
continue to love God with all our heart, turn to Jesus and confess our sins,
truly repent from them and ask forgiveness, Jesus will never let us fall. I
don’t think we should have to put up with unnecessary traditions, which are
from men. I do believe that if we love God we will continue to live a Godly
lifestyle. The believers in Antioch received these instructions; “23 with the following letter:
“The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of
the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. 24 Since we have
heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words,
unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, 25 it has
seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to
you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives
for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and
Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28 For
it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater
burden than these requirements: 29 that you abstain from what has been
sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and
from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
Farewell.””
Acts
15:23-29,
ESV. Therefore in order for Christians
to stand they will continue to be doing God’s Word. Jesus died once for all
of our sin. This was beforehand, not only before our sins but before our very
existence. “35 Therefore
do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
36For you
have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you
may receive what is promised.
37 For, "Yet
a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay;
38 but
my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no
pleasure in him."
39 But
we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have
faith and preserve their souls.
“ Hebrews 10:35-39, ESV. Jesus
did his part, He lived a sinless life then was sacrificed for all sin. With
this in mind should we ever go back to the slave master in sin? “For if we live, we live to
the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or
whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” Romans
14:8,
ESV. We cherish our personal relationship with Jesus. Allowing our actions be
our testimony. Then we will keep the first thing first. That is
salvation through the blood of Jesus.
I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. If
the Lord Is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
Is Jesus calling to you? Do you want to answer before God
stops calling? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your
life? If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the
