THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
<><><><><>
Several times this year, the Christian employee had been required to work on Sundays. But this time, he refused.
The boss said, "That's surprising! Doesn't your Bible say that if your ox falls in the ditch on Sunday you are supposed to pull him out."
The Christian employee replied, "Yes, Sir. The Bible does say that. However, a man with common sense should see that if the ox continues to fall in the ditch, he should either fill up the ditch or sell the ox!"

1Thes 5:23-24
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
(KJV)

God is faithful! He Who begins the work of salvation will also complete it! The Bible says,
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6)
The new life granted to Christians is a "treasure in earthen vessels" (2Corinthians 4:7), and is to be used to the glory of God.
And God expects those who are given this new life to learn and develop the characteristic traits of God within themselves. The Bible says,
"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." (2Peter 3:18)
Let us be found faithful! Let us be
Living In Faith Everyday!
Love ya,

REAL LIFE is living so you wouldn't be afraid to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.
