WHAT YOU WILL FIND AS YOU READ THE SCRIPTURES – PART 3

Scripture:  1 Peter 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”

     As we read the Scriptures we will find saints of God that are sanctified.  Jesus said in John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth, thy word is truth.”  The word “sanctify” in the 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary is defined as “In a general sense, to cleanse, purify or make holy.”
    Then we find sojourners in the land that are waiting.  Hebrews 11:13 tells us “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”  
    We also see servants that are in the fields that are working.  Jesus said that the fields are white unto harvest, but the laborers are few.  So many of God’s servants are laboring in the fields trying to reap the harvest while it can be reaped.  They grow weary along the way, but they keep on working.  
    We also find soldiers in the battle that are fighting as we read the Scriptures. Ephesians 6:11 says   “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”  Once we suit up then in 2 Timothy 2:3 says “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” The enemy is fighting daily to devour us, therefore we must stay in the fight or we will be overcome.  
    As you read the Scriptures you will find a more sure word of prophecy and you’ll find the promise given of the Savior’s soon return.  Jesus said in John 14:2 and 3 “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” Friend, Jesus is coming again, are you ready to meet Him?
