Truth 4 the Week
Topic: Remembrance of Saints
Bible Verse:Proverbs:10:7
"The name of the righteous is used in blessings"
Message: As we read in the above Bible verse we learn and get blessed when we look at the lives of righteous or the saints. In one of his letters St Paul writes as "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness "(2Tim:4:7-8)Two things we see here one a good fight in faith to live a righteous life & another to not give up but live in Hope which God has promised. It's only through faith that we can live a righteous life (1John:5:5) & we have to stay in faith with perseverance(Heb:10:39) It is also important to always remember the Hope which God has promised; so that we donot give up in righteous living (Rom:5:5) One more quality we see in Saints is they were ready to give up anything for Jesus (Mat:9:9 &4:20) only when we love Jesus than all things of the world we will be able to follow him and live righteous (John:21:17). Finally the saints always remembered the life of Jesus; His sufferings, preaching, love, prayer life, healing etc. So it's important for us to meditate on life of Jesus said in Gospels (2Tim:2:8)
Prayer: Dear Lord as we remember the righteous who lived for you help us also to stand in faith with hope of reward for faith.
