Renewal Guarantee










True story; Last Spring (remember Spring?) the burner of my five year old barbeque was rusted out and needed to be replaced.

Clever shopper, do-it-your-selfer that I am, I began looking for a replacement unit. I just knew the original brand would be very expensive. After purchasing and returning a "universal" burner, and rejecting an expensive one of uncertain origins, I gave up.

I went to the original seller, prepared to pay any price just to move on and get it done. I reached for my wallet as the helpful clerk looked up the original sale.

"Oh", she said, "you are covered by the warranty."

The salvation we received from Jesus Christ when we first believed comes with an eternal guarantee.

Romans 4:16 states this very clearly: "Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham."

Every believer, regardless of the degree of faith in Christ, is saved forever, guaranteed.

Therefore, we should only look to Him for our spiritual needs to be met when we are burned out and rusted away in this corrosive world.

His Book, the Bible, contains all we need for this time as well as eternity. The 'living water" will never run dry; drink, today.

Isaiah 8:19 (ASV) "
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE SEEK TO THEIR GOD? On behalf of the living should they seek unto the dead?

 


Author's notes:
In times of stress that come to all, everyone seeks for ways to cope. God's dear people need to go deeper with Him through deeper understanding of Jesus through the scriptures.
