Things We Know
And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away" 1 Peter 5:4.
In these days of relativism, situational ethics, and changing mores, it does a Christian good to note the many things in Scripture we can know, things we can count on, things that do not change. Following is a sampling of such truths, with little comment, intended to encourage the reader to extend the list, perhaps as an ongoing project.
We can know that Christ is God: "I and my Father are one" John 10:30.
We can know that we are saved: "He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" John 6:47.
We can know we are His dear children: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God" 1 John 3:2.
We can know He answers prayer: "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" John 14:14.
We can know how we should act: "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done" John 13:15.
We can know His protection: "And they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of my hand" John 10-
We can know that He will come again: "I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" John 14:3.
We can know of our eternal rewards, as in our text: "An inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you" 1 Peter 1:4.
We can know He will help us through temptation: "In that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted" Hebrews 2:18.
We can know He desires us to speak on His behalf: "Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you . . ." 1 Peter 3:15.
