Partakers of Christ


Heb 3:12  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 
Heb 3:13  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 
Heb 3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 

After hearing a message at the Pastor's conference about how everything is changing in our world, that good is being called evil and evil good; how the church is being pushed to conform to the way of the world and that laws are being made restricting the free practice of our faith. Another problem is that many churches are not preaching the truth of God anymore, but a cultural message of self betterment and motivation to succeed. Let it go no further! We must stand our ground. We are to preach the true word of God and not let it slip away. 

Take heed not departing from the living God and take heed not departing from the Son of the Living God, who is equally God, sharing his glory. It is God the Son who has secured our salvation. It is not just believing in one God, but also believing in his Son. Do not put down Jesus when the word says that he is to be lifted up!  Exalt the Lord, our salvation is not just from God the Father, without the Son we would not have access to the father. We cannot come to God on our own merit, no matter how hard we believe in him. We are sinners and can only come to God in God's son, Jesus Christ.

Heb 3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 

We believe in God the father and we must believe in God the son, who is our God and Saviour. It is only in Jesus that we have the right to call upon God as our Father. Jesus and the Father are one.
