Goes on


I looked long and hard at what goes on around here, and let me tell you, things are bad. And people feel it. There are people, for instance, on whom God showers everything—money, property, reputation—all they ever wanted or dreamed of. And then God doesn't let them enjoy it.

"Listen now, you who know right from wrong, you who hold my teaching inside you: Pay no attention to insults, and when mocked don't let it get you down… But my setting-things-right lasts, my salvation goes on and on and on."

When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that's the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life—a life that goes on and on and on

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop, God's Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

Ecclesiastes 6:1 Isaiah 51:7 Romans 5:20 John 10:4 1 Peter 1:22

The Bible tells us all we need to know so we can do all God wants us to do.
