Salvation is Found in the Scriptures

1 Peter 1:10 “Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,”

Thank You, Lord, that we are on this side of the cross.  You have given us so much:

Your Word- Your MIND in print, CD,DVD, on the internet, downloads for pods, on the radio, applications for “Smart” phones, dramatizations on TV and in productions like the Living Cross.  Your truth is more abundantly available now than in any time in history, and yet, people still reject it and live their lives in what they think is blissful ignorance, or in a constant state of frantically searching in every other avenue but Your truth.

Ken Ham, from answers in Genesis said something on the radio last night, Lord that really hit home.  He said that when Peter spoke to the Jews of You thousands came to repentance and salvation because they already knew about what You did at the Fall.  However; when Paul spoke to the Greeks were more like the evolutionists and he had to teach them about Genesis and what sin was before anything made sense to them.  We certainly live in an evolutionary mindset world as it is taught as truth in all of the public schools in the US.

Lord, these truths are spiritually discerned and cannot make sense to people until the Spirit opens their eyes.  Lord, send Your Holy Spirit for another great awakening as You did in the past and start in me!

1 Peter 1:11 :…trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that follow.”

The Holy Spirit…still our guide today!  He is within us , pointing us in the right direction as we follow hard after God, searching the scriptures for His Truth.  How precious this is.  The Trinity is eternal- the same yesterday, today and forever.  In this ever changing world, this is a truth I can camp on daily.

Thank You, Lord for being willing to indwell us as believers, not because of what we have done or who we are, but because of Your Holy character and Your sacrifice on our behalf.  It is so freeing, Lord to know that I cannot earn or ever deserve Your presence or love, but is because of Your grace, mercy, and unconditional love for me that saves and keeps me.
