Faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ inevitably brings hardship upon believers, but a faithful God guards what we have entrusted to Him as we suffer to guard what God has entrusted to us.

From start to finish, the call of Jesus Christ is a call to endure hardship and suffering because of the gospel, but God promises to reward all those who answer that call ultimately with eternal safety in His heavenly kingdom.

Before the day of desolating judgment, humbly seek the Lord Jesus, whose righteous remnant is saved to inherit the earth.

God is threatening to make idolators like you an object of his divine wrath as a burnt offering, therefore look to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ with fear and thankfulness.

On the Day of the Lord, foreshadowed by the Babylonian destruction and exile of Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus Christ will put down His enemies with great power and restore His people with great love.

The work of saving faith, peculiar to Christ’s church, is love for God, especially as it is manifested in love for fellow believers.

The cost of faith is self-denial and the sacrifice of all things in favor of whole-hearted and unceasing devotion to Christ.
