How much does it take to convince you?
Dear Friends,
Some people are really hard to convince! Are you one of them? Today’s devotional should help you. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,

Hebrews 13:5
Hebrews 13:5 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
“A good man was once explaining to a poor humble Christian that, in that precious text, ‘I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,’ there are five negatives; he said, ‘The Lord seems to say, five times over, “I will not, not, not, leave you; I will never, never forsake you.” There,’ said the learned divine, ‘is not that delightful, to find God saying that five times over?’ ‘Yes,’ said the listener, ‘so it is; but I should have believed it if he had only said it once.’”
[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLIII, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1897), p. 191]
