FAITH CENTERED IN GOD
I Peter 1:20-21
"He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God."
In God's omniscience, He knew that His beloved creation – man – would never be holy enough to merit salvation by his own strength and ability. Even before He created the world God ordained that Jesus would die, be raised again, and be glorified to provide a way of salvation. Christ, the Lamb, was "slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8). So my salvation is all God's work. Even in living life, I have to depend entirely on God "who gives me everything that pertains to life and godliness" (II Peter 1:3). My faith and my hope are entirely centered in God, not in anything that I can do by my own strength. All I can do is believe Him.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God has provided everything needed for salvation.

Have a "faith-centered" day. Love you.
