Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (Proverbs 18:10 NIV).

Today I want to encourage you with some truths from what God says about himself. Firstly he says that “he is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfil?” Numbers 22:19 we find security in the fact that what God say he will do, will happen. 

Secondly, to prove that Jesus was God incarnate, that is, God in the flesh, we read in Philippians 2; “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” It is only when we confess the name of Jesus now while we are alive that we can be saved.

security

And finally, we have the consolation that “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” So that whoever accepts the Lord Jesus as their friend and sage will find security, safety and strength in him. This peace is not the absence of strife but the presence of the prince of peace in the power of the Holy Spirit.
