INTRODUCTION

It is of great importance to the saint to know that he is blameless in Christ at this very moment in time, but what will his condition be when the Lord Jesus Christ returns for His own? Thankfully, the scriptures are not at all silent on this issue. According to 1 Corinthians 1:8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
See All..., the Lord Jesus Christ "shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." The same truth is conveyed in 1 Thessalonians 3:13To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
See All... where the Bible says that the Lord desires to stablish the believers’ "hearts unblameable in holiness before God, . . . at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints." How is this accomplished? By preservation (1 Thessalonians 5:23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
See All...).

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

• (For smaller children) Psalm 37:28For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
  See All... says the saints of God are preserved forever. The Lord is preserving us right now (2 Timothy 4:18And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
  See All...). He will present us faultless (Jude 1:24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
  See All...) because of what He did for us (Isaiah 53:5-6 [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
  See All...; 1 John 3:5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
  See All...).
• Why is it important that you be considered blameless in the sight of God? Why is it necessary that the Lord work to preserve you in that condition?
• What part of the believers in Thessalonica did Paul pray would be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  See All...)? What does this mean for you?

PRAYER NEEDS
