S U N D A Y S N I P P E T S (tm) # 7 7 8 Sep '96 The Security of the Believer's Inheritance "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance..." Eph. 1:13-14a "Even while confined to this earth, you can be confident that your Father is watching over you. The devil took away Job's purse and left him temporarily destitute, but Job had a God in heaven who replenished his account. As a saint, you have some collateral: your stock of faith, and your deed of inheritance as a citizen of heaven. These are great security both now and for the future. Satan knows it, and will do his best to snatch them away from you. But no matter how hard he tries he cannot blot your name from the Book of Life. He cannot annul your faith, make void your relationship with God, or dry up the spring of your comfort though he may dam up the stream for awhile." - William Gurnall, "The Christian in Complete Armour", Vol. 1, Abridged version 1986 by World Challenge Inc., in association with the Banner of Truth Trust. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sunday Snippets" is the trademark of G.
