Wiersbe Jesus took this as an opportunity to teach another spiritual lesson: being a part of His spiritual family is much more important than any human relationship and is I. The Commans (vs. 22) II. The Condition (vs. 23-24) III. The Correction (vs. 25a) J C Ryle The lesson now before us is one of deep practical importance. To have true saving faith is one thing. To have that faith always ready for use is quite another. Many receive Christ as their Saviour, and deliberately commit their souls to Him for time and eternity, who yet often find their faith sadly failing when something unexpected happens, and they are suddenly tried. These things ought not so to be. We ought to pray that we may have a stock of faith ready for use at a moments notice, and may never be found unprepared. The highest style of Christian is the man who lives like Moses, seeing Him who is invisible. (Heb. 11:27.) That man will never be greatly shaken by any storm. He will see Jesus near him in the darkest hour, and blue sky behind the blackest cloud. Warren Wiersbe faith must be tested before it can be trusted. based on obedience to the Word of God. IV.

Open theism, also known as openness theology, the openness of God, and free will theism, is an attempt to explain the foreknowledge of God in relationship to the free will of man. The argument of open theism is essentially this: human beings are truly free; if God absolutely knew the future, human beings could not truly be free. Therefore, God does not know absolutely everything about the future. Open theism holds that the future is not knowable. Therefore, God knows everything that can be known, but He does not know the future. www.gotquestions.org I. We can Trust Him II. We can Love Him
