The Trust

I Timothy 6 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you!
II Timothy 1 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.

Who are we?

Every believer has been entrusted with the words of eternal life. We hold in our hands the pathway to the Only One who can heal us. We have been entrusted with the knowledge to lead a dying world to a Saviour.

We serve a Holy God, able to speak all that we see into existence. A God who created us so that He might enjoy fellowship with us. To bring us into a kingdom that He prepared for us with his own hands and blood. We have a God who gave to us all He had to give. And when that was destroyed by our sin and rebellion, He gave us Himself. Holy. Spotless. Blameless. Eternal God, took on flesh, lived a life without sin, died a death inhumane and rose again so that He might then offer to us forgiveness of our sin debt. A debt that we could never pay. A gift that cost Him so much, freely given to you. To me.

Going even farther He gave to us the exact replica of Himself in our friend and indwelling Lord, His Holy Spirit, who has sealed us until the day when we receive our inheritance as sons and daughters. An ever present helper who teaches us, encourages us, loves us, directs us and walks with us on our journey home. And to us He imparts the wisdom and power to share this indescribable gift with others who have need of it. We can bring them to their true Father and He will guide them home.

We are the light of the world. We carry within us the glory of His righteousness. We are entrusted to share the knowledge that we have been given to lead others to the Holy One, the Only One who can save them. This is almost unbearable in its beauty. That this God, this giver of all things including His Son, His Spirit and Himself, would stretch out His hand all day, every day to people like you and me is unbelievable. Yet true. And one day Jesus will come again or we will go to Him and He will bring us into His kingdom, the kingdom prepared for us and He will present us before His Father, our Father, blameless, spotless and clothed in the righteousness of His blood.

We were made for fellowship. For worship. For Him. For this!!!

Who are we? We are an everlasting covenant. We are a royal priesthood. We are a heavenly kingdom. Not made with human hands. Indestructible. That will never fade away.

O Father, fan into flame the fire that You placed within us at the moment of our salvation. Let us see ourselves as You see us. Let us see others as You see them. Let us see You as You are.

I Peter 2 You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people that you should shew forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Matthew 13 Again the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls who on finding one pearl of great value went and sold all he had and bought it.

Luke 12 Fear not little flock, for it is Your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luke 14 Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in that My house may be filled.

Luke 15 Rejoice with me for I have found my sheep that was lost.
