Luke 7:23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.

These simple words are interpreted in many fashions by various versions of the bible – but of their root meaning there should be no doubt.

Don’t doubt God. Don’t doubt what He is and what He has done. Don’t doubt what He has promised and what He can do.

The same must be said about Jesus Christ Himself. We have no reason to doubt what He has done for all of us, other than the doubt thrown in there by the evil one – just as it was thrown into Eden between man and God!

Trust God with all your heart and your mind – leave doubt out of it!

Malachi 3:2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.

Before Jesus came to teach the real gospel, message warnings were sent out through the prophets; yet many chose to ignore those warnings at the time.

Today we still face warnings from Christ and still we choose to ignore them… for the same reasons too – it just seems a bit difficult!

When we get shown up, we don’t like it. When people point out our bad ways, we don’t like it.

But, we need to listen to God’s Word. We need to listen to the truth. We need Christ in our lives to help us with this!

1 John 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

It is true Christ has not fully explained what we will become other than a new creation, a new being, a pure being who can live with Him in heaven.

But we do know His promises are sure because we have seen them come to pass time and time again. Each time He gives us a promise, we can know we can depend on it fully.

His promises to the people then are written down in History and recorded as coming true. We know, therefore, those further promises written down in our Bibles are true too!
