Luke 12:5 " But I will show you whom you should fear : Fear Him who after the killing of the body,has power to throw you into Hell . Yes , I tell you , fear Him . " ~ A firm believe of the doctrine of God's universal providence , and the extent of it , would satisfy us when in peril , and encourage us to trust God in the way of duty . Providence takes notice of the meanest creatures , ev...en of the sparrows , and therefore of the smallest interests of the disciples of Christ . Those who confess Christ now , shall be owned by Him in the great day , before the angels of God . To deter us from denying Christ , and deserting His truths and ways , we are here assured that those who deny Christ , though they may thus save life itself , and though they may gain a kingdom by it , will be great losers at last ; for Christ will not know them , will not own them , nor show them favor . But let no trembling penitent backslider doubt of obtaining forgiveness . This is far different from the determined enmity that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit , which shall never be forgiven , because it will never be repented of . To play false with one's convictions to save one's life , may fail of it's end after all,for God can inflict a violent death in some other and equally formidable way .

God has a purpose and a plan for each of our lives. God’s Word commands us: Ephesians 5:15-17 "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Each of the above points we cou
