Genesis 33:18-34:31; Psalms 4:1-6:10; Matthew 19:1-15
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20
The essence of a true believer in Jesus Christ is not found in religious works or practices: evangelism, prayer, Bible reading, meditation, giving, charitable works, church attendance. While Scripture encourages the pursuit of such disciplines, these are not what makes a believer. A believer is one who longs for the presence, power and person of Jesus to be alive in them. Their focus is eternity, their gaze is upward, and their desire is for more of Him. Are we true believers in Jesus Christ? If so, we will welcome His promised return with daily expectation. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Come today! —Deborah Manera
The Christian’s great future is before him. Therefore, the whole direction
of the Christian’s look should be forward. —A. W. Tozer
