“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.”Deuteronomy 7:9 NIV
I am grateful that my God has spoken to us through the Bible, that He has used simple people to do great things. I am grateful He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins and complete the just requirements of the law, so that we can choose to live by faith in Him.
I am not required to do to earn righteousness but to live by faith in what has been bought for me. Being right with God is not about self-effort, but faith in Jesus who finished the work for me.
Today I awoke to a message from a Christian friend in England saying: “I have blocked your posts about Israel as they are lies, shame on you!” My friend has judged me and found me wanting. I am sad that England believes Israel to be the villain in Gaza, however, I will still support and pray for them. As for my friend, I pray for truth to arise. No amount of self-defense will satisfy. We live in a world awash with conflicting reports and we must trust our God for the right source. I praise God I will not be barred from heaven because I support Israel or Palestine, greater things are at stake here. Will I live by faith in the Son of God? Yes!
