Into Thy Word -

The old devil has many Tricks. 

He says, “Don’t believe in God.”

But the Bible says, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God’” Psalms 14:1. 

He says, “Wait until later to become a Christian.”

But the Bible says, “Behold, now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation” 2 Corinthians 6:2. 

He says, “Christians can’t have any fun.”

But the Bible says, “I (Christ) have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” John 10:10 

He says, ”All good roads lead to Heaven.”

But the Bible says, “I (Christ) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6 

He says, “God is too good to send anyone to hell.”

But the Bible says, “He that believeth not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”  John 3:18 

He says, “you are good enough without being a Christian.”

But, has he pulled a trick on you?

 

The Lord God has many Treats.

God gives faith.

The Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of god” Ephesians 2:8. 

God gives peace.

The Bible says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 5:1. 

God gives joy.

The Bible says, “Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forever more” Psalm 16:11. 

God gives love.

The Bible says, “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God” 1John 4:7. 

God gives gifts.

The Bible says, “Every good gift and ever perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” James 1:17. 

God gives eternal life.

The Bible says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” John 1:12. 

Will you take God’s free gift?
