“The Lord is faithful” – 2 Thess 3:3
The world wants to read the Bible as a closed book.
It was written nearly 2000 years ago and the only
benefit to some is spiritual.
Missing the reason for God’s silence of nearly
20 centuries, they discount God as ineffectual.
Yet, for those who know God and his word rightly
divided we know that God is faithful to do as he promised
which is why he is not yet returning to judge the world.
He will reign over the Earth; he will bring death to
an end; he will transform us to live in heavenly places,
but only at the end of this dispensation.
Paul says we learn patience through the scripture
(Rom 15:4). Only belief is required.
Those who doubt God’s faithfulness claim his inaction
proves non existence. Yet, Paul reveals that the silence
of God proves his grace to a corrupt world.
Read the Bible believing God’s words and you will be
able to rejoice in God’s faithfulness instead of doubting
his existence when he does not intervene.
Patiently,
Justin “looking for glory” Johnson
