SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

1 Thessalonians 5:8
[8]But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

OBSERVATION!

Our moderation as to all earthly things should be known to all men.

We have ground on which to build unshaken hope, when we consider, that salvation is by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, to atone for our sins and to ransom our souls.We should join in prayer and praise one with another. We should set a good example one before another, and this is the best means to answer the end of society.

Shall Christians, who have the light of the blessed gospel shining in their faces, be careless about their souls and unmindful of another world? We need the spiritual armor or the three Christian graces, faith, love, and hope.

COMMENTARY!

True and fervent love to God, and the things of God, will keep us watchful and sober.

If we have hope of salvation, let us take heed of anything that would shake our trust in the Lord.

Thus, we shall learn how to live to Him, with whom we hope to live forever.

The people should honour and love their ministers, because their business is the welfare of men’s souls.

And the people should be at peace among themselves, doing all they can to guard against any differences.

But love of peace must not make us wink at sin. The fearful and sorrowful spirits should be encouraged, and a kind word may do much good. We must bear and forbear. We must be long-suffering and keep down anger, and this to all men. Whatever man does to us, we must do good to others.

CLOSING COMMENTARY!

Where there is the truth of grace, there will be an increase of it. The path of the just is as the shining light, which shines more and more unto the perfect day. And where there is the increase of grace, God must have all the glory. Where faith grows, love will abound, for faith works by love. It shows faith and patience, such as may be proposed as a pattern for others, when trials from God, and persecutions from men, quicken the exercise of those graces; for the patience and faith of which the apostle gloried, bore them up, and enabled them to endure all their tribulations.

Now you have an explanation of why our Lord desires a return to standing on faith and bringing all your needs to Yahewa through Yeshua as our interceder by prayer.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
