                                   “Soul Safe”
Hebrews 6:17, 18
God also bound Himself with an oath, so that those who received the
promise could be perfectly sure that He would never change His mind. 
So God has given us both His promise and His oath.  These two things
are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie.  (NLT)

     From the moment sin entered into God's Story, He made an oath and promised us a Savior, one that would save us from our sin and banishment from God's eternal Presence—that one day we would walk in His Presence once again, to live in a personal relationship with Him forever.  He kept His promise by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die the death we deserved, to cleanse our sins with His holy blood, and to remove the barrier that made it impossible for us to be with our God, at any time or anywhere.  And we are now waiting for the Lord to come and finish His Plan, so we can physically live with Him forever in our newly created bodies, eternal Home, and New Earth.  This is the Promise of God that keeps our souls safe and our hopes alive.
     But to be a part of His glorious Kingdom to come you must embrace His every Word and every promise as the absolute Truth, not just those words or promises that suit your agenda.  You must get rid of your own interpretations and learn to fully trust the Lord with every area of your life.  Our Lord God did not come as your Savior to please Himself or because He had to. He did it because He gave an oath and made a promise, and God cannot break an oath or fail to live up to His promises any more than He can tell a lie or claim He doesn't exist.  You have a loving God. my friend, One who loves you so much that He refused to let you suffer the eternal consequences of your inherent sinfulness and the rebellion you live in against His righteousness. Never doubt God's love or His commitment to save your soul, because He did it before you ever knew you needed it or that He did it.

                                      A Whisper of Hope
You can stake your life, child...on the promises of My Word.  Do not gamble your life away by trusting in the world for your future, because this world and those who trust it, do not have a very encouraging future.  Only My children have a hope and a future.

Isaiah 43:11-13
“I am the LORD, and there is no other Savior.  First I predicted your deliverance, I declared what I would do, and then I did it—I saved you.  No foreign god has ever done this before.  You are witnesses that I am the only God,” says the LORD.  From eternity to eternity I am God.  No one can oppose what I do.  No one can reverse My actions.”  (NLT)


                Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the 
                            hope we say we have, 
            for God can be trusted to keep His promise.
                                  (Hebrews 10:23)
