WHERE COULD I GO BUT TO THE LORD!

 

John 6:68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

 

I.                   FOR FACTS.

Rom 3:4  God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Psa 119:160  Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

 

II.                FOR FAITH.

Rom 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Heb 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Luke 17:5  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

 

III.             FOR FRIENDSHIP.

Prov 18:24  A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Prov 17:17  A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

John 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

 

IV.              FOR FINANCES.

Mat 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Luke 6:38  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Mal 3:10  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

 

V.                 FOR FORGIVENESS.

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psa 86:5  For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Acts 13:38  Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

Acts 13:39  And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

 

VI.              FOR FUTURE DWELLINGS.

Psa 23:6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

2 Cor 5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

 

VII.           FOR FELLOWSHIP.

1 John 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Eph 5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
