Jesus Christ--Able to Save?

Today's Reading: "One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" (Luke 23:39)

Dear one, because you have placed your faith (weight, trust) in the Lord Christ Jesus, believed upon Him as the risen Son of God, your faith has been accounted to you as righteousness, or right standing with God, the Father. Period! Will others question and doubt that God has, can or will save you? Oh, yes--count on it! Will we sometimes doubt this truth ourselves? Yes, we will doubt, but we must be careful to guard our hearts and never to allow the father of all lies, satan, to deceive us!

Jesus paid a high price on that cross to purchase our salvation, and we can be sure of His faithfulness to bring about our complete salvation because He is called Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11). As His precious children, we are as safe as brother Noah in that wooden ark, even though we may be being tossed around by raging waters! Remember, Jesus Christ was that Ark, and He is an able Protector for each and everyone of his children!

Beloved, build up your most holy faith (Jude 1:20)! Be mature--thoroughly trained (Hebrews 5:14), and have a ready answer (1 Peter 3:15) for those precious opportunities to share the hope and joy inside you--Jesus Christ!
