The Lord, Our Keeper

 If we stay in Christ,(we don’t walk away or leave Him, but continue to trust and depend on Him, throughout  our lives) His keeping power will be there for us. He won’t keep us against our will, but according to our will, depending on if it is set towards Him and His ways. But, if we are focused on, and do our own will, regardless of what He says, shows we haven’t really given ourselves to Him, does it? He says if we are His, we are to walk as He walks. Although not perfectly, but we set ourselves in His direction, and when we fail, we again turn to Him, to receive the forgiveness He offers; the forgivesness He died for. 

If we say, “I can do anything I want, because He will forgive  me,” shows our disrespect for the sacrifice He went through on our behalf, and for Him. If we love Him, we won’t take advantage of Him. 

As we abide in Him and His Word abides in us, we can be assured He will keep us to the end. 

I was so encouraged this morning, reading out of 1 Corinthians of that assurance. From verses 8 and 9, it says, “”He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 

If we continue to abide, we can be assured that His faithfulness will keep us!!!!
