Hebrews 12:25-29 See
that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him
that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him
that speaketh from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised,
saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of
those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things
which cannot be shaken may remain.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let
us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly
fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
Isaiah 54:10 Though
the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you
will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD,
who has compassion on you.
1 Corinthians 7:31
those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For
this world in its present form is passing away.
Romans 8:21 that the
creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into
the freedom and glory of the children of God.
Revelation 21:4 He
will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Television news is often filled with interviews and images
of people who have suffered some unimaginable tragedy. One day we’re shown
tornado survivors whose homes were torn apart by powerful winds. Another day we
may see massive floods sweeping through an unsuspecting neighborhood.
Occasionally, we even view homes that are swallowed whole by terrible
earthquakes. The expressions on the faces of those who have suffered loss can
be haunting.
Losses like these always draw our attention toward the
fragility of those things we hold most dear—such as our homes, families, and
careers. We seldom like wake-up calls that remind us of the inherent
instability of earthly life.
But in a world that oftentimes seems to be falling apart,
believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have the privilege of sharing the best news
imaginable: We have something that is stable, something that is completely
secure. There is a rock on which we are able to stand, and it cannot be shaken.
That foundation, of course, is almighty God.
The Lord gives us other immovable truths as well. We can
trust that Scripture is His unchanging, relevant truth for all time. We can
forever depend on a secure eternal relationship with Him through His Son. And
we can be sure that an everlasting heavenly home awaits all those who place
their faith in Jesus Christ. We can have stability, even in this unstable
world.
Do you have someone in your life who needs this life-saving
good news— someone who is drowning, desperately needing you to throw a
lifeline? Don’t wait; share it today.
