... I came across today:

"I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it ..." (Ecclesiastes 3:14).

What this says to me is, the salvation of the world is secure.

a) We can't add anything to it - there is nothing we can do to deserve or merit salvation.

b) We also can't take away from it - there is nothing we can do to prevent all from being saved.

It's that simple! :)

Hi Sandy,

This ties in perfectly with the response I gave in the "Living as a Believer" thread. How carnal it is to live in fear when we know that God has our "spiritual" interest at heart.

Surely we can walk in the valley of the shadow of death (this world) and fear no evil, knowing that He is with us always, as well as knowing that this life is but a shadow of the life to come. God does not ask much of us and it is my understanding, it all can be encapsulated in one word: Trust.

For Trust is the key, it is the gift of His Spirit and with Trust we can become bearers of its fruit. Those being:

Gal 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Yes it is THAT SIMPLE!!!!  :)

Great post Sandy, our God is Everything!

Love,
Darren

Hi Sandy, how is the job situation going.  Missed ya around here.

Sandy & Darren-nice to sit down at the computer after a busy day and contemplate some beautiful promises. I just this afternoon recommended Ecc. to someone to read.

and after a weekend w/ relatives I needed Gal. 5 stamped on my forehead.(on the inside I mean for my brain to see it!)

Jackie Lee:
I have been missing Sandy also, not that she knows who I am since I post very little.
 I miss when someone is not around here much after getting to know them through posts.

gmik:
jACKIE, I do too!

 Those that just read, please say hi once in awhile!!!!!! :D

Those tht ask for prayer requests, please let us know occassionally how things are going.

I have said this before, but you all are my church family and I miss your fellowship when you leave--even when you are on vacation or something I think Oh no, they left!!! :D

You all should know me by now and I'm just teasing!!!!(still true tho)
