Been mediating on 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
“...be ready always to give an answer to every man that ask you a reason of the hope that is in you...” Been considering what is the backbone of Strength of Hope, and that Hope is God. Simply and wonderfully...GOD.
IS the LORD your backbone of Strength and Hope? Do you stand in Him?
Consider a hundred different ways we can fail each day or come up short.. but God does not fail or come up short. If and when God says a thing is true or makes a promise...God does not lie but ‘keeps’ the promise. Abraham believed God. lay aside for a moment: is it ‘works and faith’ or ‘faith without works’ and see God in ....there is no way Abraham knew what was foretold in His gathering wood and taking Isaac to the top of the hill. Even though it wouldn’t be until the Father of all things would gather wood and take His begotten to the hill...what God said to be true was of a certain. God’s promise was of a certain. That would be my hope...if God says it is true and a promise ...then it must and has to be so. God says to believe and know and hear what He said and promised and rather than base things off the seen...to EXCEPT the unseen.
Two words of importance: “subjection” and “yield”...
Who are you in subjection to?
Who have you yielded to?
There are two: Romans 8:20-21 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, [21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
See two there: death ...Or Life.
subjected to vanity and the bondage of corruption..sin unto death.
OR in subjection to the Father of Spirits and live...obedience unto righteousness.
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
For the creation was subjected to “sin unto death” not willingly but by reason of Him who subjected the same in hope “obedience unto righteousness”.
Hebrews 12:9-11 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
God does not lie in He said to “yield” and be “in subjection unto the Father of spirits”...and Live. It is impossible for God to lie. In “yielding” and being “in subjection unto the Father of Spirits” ...in you are God’s handiwork... for after a few days chastened us...GOD for our profit. THAT ALL His children May be partakers of His holiness. Yielding the “peaceable fruit of righteousness”.
Partakers of his holiness: “the peaceable fruit of righteousness”
Regardless of whether you say ‘Faith with works’ or ‘faith without works’...Do you believe God? James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Do you believe in He who says “yield” and be “in subjection” to God the Father ... moved (removed)from subjection to vanity and sin unto death ...placed into “obedience unto righteousness: “partakers of His holiness” yielding “the peaceable fruit of righteousness.”
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
Galatians 1:3-4 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, [4] Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
2 Timothy 4:16-18 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. [17] Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. [18] And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
“Yield” “in subjection” “delivered” and “will preserve”...God does not lie.

“Yield” “in subjection” “delivered” and “will preserve”...God does not lie.
