Consider Faith - It Prepares for Eternity with all Seriousness!
The man of faith knows that God is real and all the promises of eternity are real. S/he also knows that these are incomparably precious compared to the present passing of sin and pleasure. S/he does not take lightly the planning and preparation for eternity but diligently makes all choices and decisions needed.

Consider Faith - It Knows God is Faithful and True!
Close to 300 years may have gone by since Joseph died. The children of Israel could have forgotten God’s promise to Abraham concerning the promised land. But not God!
God never forgets! He is faithful and true from generation to generation.

Consider Faith - It is Assured that God will Perform what He has Promised
One of the most precious lessons we can learn from our wonderful Teacher is that of waiting, and waiting patiently. Oh that we can be so full of faith that our hearts are at rest, being fully assured that what God has promised, He will perform. He is not only faithful, but what He does, He does with perfect timing.

Consider Faith - The Child of God Lives as a Foreigner on Earth!
Men of God were distinguishable from their attitude to the things of this earth. The faith that reaches the heart of God recognizes that it is making God your complete possession, your all-in-all; it is this that pleases the All-Sufficient God.
Consider Faith - There is Complete Surrender!
The child of faith is convinced that the ways of the living God are higher than man's ways and His all wise thoughts, higher than man's thoughts. S/he gladly submits therefore in complete surrender, even though the path is unknown, for that child knows well that the all wise, eternal God never makes a mistake. His ways are perfect and the outcome, the best.

Consider God, the Great Reality!
We recognize all that we see around us as real because we can associate them with our five senses. God, however is the Great Reality, though we cannot see Him. All other realities are dependent on Him.

Consider the Root of Salvation - The Instructions are Clear!
Our Lord Jesus has given us clear instructions what we are to pursue. He has made it clear what the chief goal of our life should be. The devil has made fear and unbelief reverse that order, much to our own loss. Let us trust God's instruction and heed them. They are truth and life.

The Righteous receive Revelation and Insight!
The last 10 days or so has carried one message - What is it that is at the heart of Salvation? Having received mercy and compassion from God and made a new creation, what must our main goal be? What must be the chief ambition to pursue that will please our Maker? One common thread comes through all the verses that were posted and indeed all through the Holy Bible - that we should be holy and righteous. Having this purpose therefore, let us with single minded devotion, love the Lord God and His Son Jesus Christ. In this way you will be storing treasures in heaven.

Consider the Purpose of God's Working!
Throughout scriptures, we find this purpose - that we should be holy and blameless. In the new covenant that we have in Christ Jesus, let us be faithful to this purpose.

Consider the Purpose of God's Discipline!
Knowing this therefore, let us guard our hearts
from grumbling and complaining.
But like Paul exhorted in Php. 4:4,
let us rejoice in the Lord always.

Consider the Root of Salvation - Pursue Holiness!
We have been cleansed by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus; made a new person in righteousness and holiness; that we no longer live as we did before regeneration, but now, with the help of God, in pursuit of holiness.

Consider the Root of Salvation - In Christ, we are a New Creation!
The USP of this new person is righteousness and holiness.
