Continuing In Grace

Psa 91:2  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Psa 91:3  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Psa 91:4  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Psa 91:5  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Psa 91:6  Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Psa 91:7  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Psa 91:8  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Psa 91:9  Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

Psa 91:10  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Psa 91:11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Psa 91:12  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Psa 91:13  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Psa 91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Psa 91:15  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Psa 91:16  With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

Phil 3:2  Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision;

Phil 3:3  for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

Phil 3:4  although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more:

Phil 3:5  circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

Phil 3:6  as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

Phil 3:7  But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Phil 3:8  More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ,

Phil 3:9  and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

Phil 3:10  that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

Phil 3:11  in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Phil 3:12  Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

Phil 3:13  Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

Phil 3:14  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Phil 3:15  Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

Phil 3:16  however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.

#1) The most important primary ingredient for success n life is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things will be added to you, just as Jesus said.

 #2) Since our salvation began in grace, it must also continue in grace and God has promised to perfect it as we go if we continue to acknowledge Him in “All our ways”.
#3) The measurement of the life of the Christian must be based on improvement and not total perfection although perfection has been granted to each one y faith in Jesus Christ alone so that we should seek perfection and continue in that direction at all times and in all things.
