I Will Put My Fear In Their Hearts

I will put My fear in their hearts—so they will never turn away from Me. (Jer 32:40)

Jesus, to whom I have been led to commit myself, has engaged to save me, absolutely, and from first to last. He has promised not only that He will not depart from me—but that He will put, keep, and maintain His fear in my heart—so that I shall never finally depart from Him!

And if He does not do this for me—I have no security against my turning apostate! For I am so weak, inconsistent, and sinful; I am so encompassed with deadly snares from the world; and I am so liable to such assaults from the subtlety, vigilance, and power of Satan—that, unless I am ‘kept by the power of God,’ I am sure I cannot endure to the end!

In short, I must sit down in despair—if I did not believe that He who has begun a good work in me, will carry it out to completion.”

Flee from the Wrath of God!

"Here is probably the greatest evidence that you're outside of Christ, that you have no power to overcome sin. Can you overcome sin? Or are you still living in the muck and mire of Internet pornography?" ~Don Currin.
