Page 1 of 11 What are the anchors that will hold us strong and secure in difficult times? We’ll find these anchors in the Word of God, which gives us the principles for all of life – for good times and for bad. I am a great advocate for having a biblical basis for everything I believe and everything I base my life on. If I can’t find it in the Word of God, it is too shaky for me. Hebrews 12:27 tells us that only “those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” When we stake our life on the principles in God’s Word, we will never be shaken. Therefore let’s look at what God has to say. What are our anchors?
1. UNSHAKEABLE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOUR AND LORD OF OUR LIVES. 2 Timothy 1:12, “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.”
1 John 5:1-5, “For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
John 16:33; Romans 8:31-39; Hebrews 12:26-29; 1 Peter 4:19.
Have you put your faith in Jesus Christ, the son of the living God? 2. UNSHAKEABLE FAITH IN THE ETERNAL KINGDOM. Psalm 37:18, “The Lord knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.” Daniel 4:3, “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.” Daniel 4:17, 27. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
1 John 5:11,12, “And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that has the Son has life: and he that has not the Son of God has not life.”
Do you know that you have eternal life? Do you have this glorious hope of “Christ in you, the hope of glory”?
