For The Moment …18 the After Life

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness. Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?

After life, there is life, which is an eternal life. Where will you spend eternity? Will it be in Hell with the Devil and his angels in a place where the fires are not quenched in torment forever? Or will you be in Heaven with God and His only begotten son? Jesus Christ, who came to die, was buried and rose again. This same Jesus who gave his life for you so that you can live forever in glory. Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and be saved from an eternity in Hell. Owing Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life is the only way to salvation and life after death. ( Psalm 17 verse 15, 1 Corinthians 15 verse 55)

Captain of our Salvation

Day 17 What’s in a name Part 8

What’s in a name versus what’s in a title.  

“A name is a word or phrase that constitutes the distinctive designation of a person or a thing.”

“A title is a name that describes someone’s position or job.”

1 Samuel 22 verse 1 

“And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone bitter in soul, gathered to him.”

David escaped to the cave of Adullam away from his enemy King Saul to safety, and his brethren followed him. Those who wanted to follow him turned their backs on everything and looked to David making him their captain.

David in this passage of the old testament is a type of the Lord Jesus Christ. As David’s brethren followed him so too we should follow the Lord and keep our eyes fixed on Him giving him the first place in our life. He is in control and He is worthy of all our praise and worship. And he is the Captain of our salvation. ( Darlington Feddoes, 2007) 

“For is became him, for who are all things, and by whom are all things, and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation.” Hebrews 2 verse 10.
