On Monday 15 Sep, the collapse of Lehman Brothers on Wall Street shook the world. On Tuesday 16 Sep, the news of the next possible downfall of AIG woke up the streets of Singapore since AIA is the subsidary group of AIG. Natural disasters, political unrest, violence, terriorism & now financial crisis tell us that we are living in a world that is full of UNCERTAINTY.
These few days of events have prompted me to think & even rely on God more. The verse "Fear not, for I am with you!" kept ringing in my mind. It reminds me of this certain relationship i have with God & He will not forsake me even when i am faithless. We may lose the worldly things due to all these crisis, but we will not lost the hope in God because there is security in Christ.
Our position in Christ can be assured because we are
Born again: 1 Pet 1:23 ‘having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible.’
Sons of God: 1 John 3:2 ‘Beloved, now we are sons of God.’
New Creation: 2 Cor 5:17 ‘Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.’
Adopted: Rom 8:15 ‘you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”’
Heirs: Gal 4:7 ‘Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.’
My friends, put your hope in God. Invest in Him that lasts because:
He is CERTAIN in the midst of the uncertainty.
He is HOPE in the midst of the hopelesness.
He is LOVE in the midst of the hates & pains.
He is GOD in the midst of the godlessness.
One thing for sure: Your position in Christ is 100% SECURE & CERTAIN!
