The Strength we have in God

Hi All

I came across an old quote I had written down by A W Tozer and thought I would share it with you at this time:
Anything God has ever done, He can do now.
Anything God has ever done anywhere, He can do here.
Anything God has ever done for anyone, He can do for you.

A W Tozer was a man of scripture and would obviously base this thought on such.
The scripture that came to my mind was this:
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The plan of God is a simple one. He wants all men and women to be saved from the eternal torment of Hell because of sin.
Sin  or what ever you want to designate it as - rebellion, deviance, violence, deceit, pride etc - is something that we all experience and have to differing degrees.

Some it appears sin more than others yet God declares:
Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

God's desire is that you would be saved:
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Why trust in this failing world and its sin that you are apart of when you can be cleansed and made free from its shackles.
You may be looking for some type of Utopia in life but God declares that peace can only be found in His Son Jesus Christ who died a slaves death so that you can live.
Your Choice and I hope you make the right one.
Rom 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
