If God sent you a letter and said you have received a phenomenal inheritance that is beyond belief and the inheritance is spelled out in a book, wouldn’t you be excited and anxiously read that book to learn what that great inheritance is? You and I have that book. Have a great weekend.

I Peter 1parts &2 “To God’s elect….who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of te Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood.” In multiple places throughout the Bible God wants to let us know He called each of us to be His own and knew you and me even before He created this beautiful earth. God intentionally, because of His great love, has made you and me His loved and adopted child with all the inherited rights a child receives from loving parents. Nothing–nothing could be better!

John 21:24 “This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.” Where can truth, absolute truth, be found? In God’s Word, the Bible, absolute truth is found. How can Christians be so sure? Only because of faith. There certainly are authentic groups who have made and are still making exerted efforts to prove facts like Creation, the Resurrection, the authenticity of the Bible, the Flood, numerous archeological proofs and they are doing excellent work always proving the truths of the Bible are accurate. Jesus is our Savior. Our Heavenly Father loves each of us dearly. We will spend eternity in Heaven because of our Savior. These absolutes are a matter of faith. Enjoy your God given faith.

John 21:21 “When Peter saw him, he asked, ‘Lord, what about him?”’ Peter did not realize his first concern should be his own faith. His friend John’s faith and life were certainly important, but Peter displayed a flaw and Jesus needed to correct that flaw. That same flaw is easily present in you and me also. Are we recognizing we are in desperate of a Savior? Let’s not be hasty to judge others. Let’s be hasty to recognize our own needs as we present ourselves before our Heavenly Father.

John 21:6 “He said,’Throw your nets on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”‘ The fishermen listened to Jesus and they experienced more success than ever before. The Bible is loaded with life experiences where God is listened to and where God is not listened to. Every time, without fail, when God and His principles are listened to and followed success comes. Isn’t the truth of God’s will 100% of the time proven to have an end result of success? You and I should always listen to our God and we will experience success always.
