2 Cor 13:5(ESV) Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! — The real question is, “do you really know that you know your redeemer lives, really lives“ ? Where is your boast? Is it truly in the Lord! — Hebr 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author & finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, & is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied & faint in your minds. — 1 Sam 12:24 Only fear the LORD, & serve Him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things He hath done for you. — We are to consider Him! When we continue to consider Him in all things, then all things are possible in Him. Love Mel
