This Day In Him, TDIH. Vol 3. Issue 330 2024
THE SECURITY IS IN THE LIFE OF JESUS
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
— Romans 5:10
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose trust is the Lord."
— Jeremiah 17:7
For these past few days we have been viewing the technicality of faith. I still want us to go into details of trust in the LORD, and making the LORD one's trust.
Do you remember that one who ran into the city of refuge was saved while in the city? But if he thought he could get security elsewhere apart from the city of refuge, and the avenger of blood saw outside of the city of refuge, he was free to kill him. Therefore, the only sure place for one running from the avenger of blood was to remain in the city of refuge for certain numbers of years.
While he was running to the city of refuge, he trusted that if he got into the city before the avenger of blood caught up with him he was saved/blessed. But while in the city, he needed to make the city his trust to be alive, for outside of the city he would be a dead man.
Do you see what the book of Romans 5:10 says? We were separated from God, and the avenger of blood was after us to steal, kill and destroy. But then God gave the name of Jesus for salvation for all those who have become His enemies due to transgression in Adam, and therefore become vulnerable to attacks of the devil. You can call on the name of the LORD and be saved and reconciled with God.
Being reconciled with God, your sure security is in Christ Jesus. The life of Jesus has become safe for all that remains in Him. That is making the LORD your trust. This is all round security, making the name of the LORD your strong tower/refuge.
It is amazingly shocking that many people have run into the name of Jesus but they lacked faith in dwelling there securely. They are jeopardizing their lives by believing in security elsewhere. That is like walking out of the city of refuge before the set time for ultimate salvation.
Having been reconciled with God, our security, whatever it represents, is the life of Jesus. Make His name your trust…
