AND NOT BEING WEAK in faith, he did not consider his own body already dead (since he was about a hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

God’s Sovereignty words: The Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit (Romans 9:9)

FOR THIS IS THE word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”

Abraham and Sarah

by faith

BY FAITH SARAH HERSELF also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because beca sh she judged Him faithful who had promised.

The First Disciples words: The Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit (John 1:35-42)

AGAIN, THE NEXT DAY, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, walk he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!” G The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour). One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone).

The Day of The Lord is Coming w o r d s : T h e W o r d o f G o d , i n s p i r e d b y t h e H o l y S p i r i t ( 2 P e t e r 3 : 8 - 11 )

BUT YOU MUST NOT forget dear friends, that a day is like a thousand years to the LORD, and a thousand years is like a day. The LORD isn’t really being slow about His promise to return, as some people think. No He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time for everyone to repent. But the day of the LORD will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment. Since everythinig around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living!
