Hymn 24 – Tune 13:  Victory Comes from God

·     Sometimes we may not understand why God instructs us to do certain things, but if we do follow His instructions we will get the outcome He has promised!

·     God has set out a Life-style in the Bible which in many ways seems “strange” to the natural-man

·     As believers we must seek to follow the instructions God has given in His Word, and to do the things He puts on our hearts

·     God and good will win the ultimate battle against evil and wrong, but we need to present ourselves to follow His instructions if we want to be part of the victory

·     When Jesus Christ returns and the walls of evil which preclude us from fully knowing God fall, we can hope to enter His Kingdom wholly – in spirit and soul and body.
