Preserve What Is Given To You

This post is out of the notes of the Sunday (19 - 04 -2010) sermon.

I Timothy 6:20 - Preserve what is given to you. It is a command by the Lord. So what should we preserve?

II Tim. 4:7 - Faith is the treasure given to us by the Lord. Paul Struggled to preserve his faith. Jude v.3 Faith is given to God's people. They should struggle with guts to preserve it. Acts. 14:22 asks us to hold on to the faith - but this leads to lots of problems in your life - however this is the right path to the kingdom of God. In order to preserve the faith, you should have a strong heart. You also should have a good conscience (I Tim. 1.19). According to I peter 5:9 you can stand against satanic forms only if you firmly hold on to the faith. I Tim.6:10 Desire (for anything) is the root cause of losing faith.

Rev. 3:10 - Preserve God's word. John. 14:23 God, the trinity is with the one who follows God's word. This means that if you do not preserve God's word or if you are lethargic about it, God is never with you. According to John. 17:6 only those who preserve Gods words get heavenly or Godly vision; beware of those who always talk to you about visions. Rev. 3:8 Widely opened doors are available to only those who preserve God's words. John 8:51 - Eternal life is also given to those who preserve God's words.

Rev. 16:15 - Preserve your dress ( God has given us so many dresses like salvation, righteousness, praise, etc.). Rev. 3:17,18. Matt. 22:11 - Not only wearing or preserving a dress in important but wearing an appropriate dress is more important. Zec. 3:3 - Joshua stands before God's angel with unclean dress and there comes Satan - this is the worst condition given that Joshua is the high priest! Rev 3:4, Rev. 7:13,14,15. Those who wear the clean dress, washed with the blood of Jesus, stand before God's throne. Rev. 19:8 - Acquiring this clean, bright, fine dress (in the heaven) from the Lord depends on preserving our God-given dress in this world.
