The following testimony will give insight to God's sufficient grace.

In a Godless nation was a man that would be burned at the stake because he would not denounce Jesus. The night before his public execution he put his finger in a burning match to see what the pain would be like. As he quickly found out the pain was more than he could stand.

Nevertheless he would not deny the Name of Jesus. Minutes before his execution, a brother secretly asked him to do something for him. His request was that if God's grace really is sufficient to signify it by holding up one finger in the midst of the fire.

The brother that had made the request said later that as he watched his brother suffer for Christ name sake, just before his death he held up not one finger but two. God's grace is always on time. He is faithful.

Hebrews 11:34 tells us that faith will quench the violence of fire. It also tells us in the next verse that others were tortured not accepting deliverance, that they may obtain a better resurrection.

According to the book of Hebrews there were great prices paid for the furtherance of the gospel for those that would not deny the name of Christ, yet they were all paid in faith. What ever an individuals calling in life concerning Christ, this one thing is true. His grace is sufficient.

I Corinthian 1:9 states, God is faithful by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. To be called into the fellowship with his Son is to know Him in the fellowship of His sufferings that we may attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Paul states in Philippian 1:20,"That in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness as always so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body weather it be by life or death. For to me to live is Christ but to die is gain. Paul was speaking for himself here. Every man must work out his own salvation with Christ as to how far he will go in the furtherance of His name.

Faith stands unto deliverance or unto death. There are men and women that endure unto death every day. Some are tortured and some die of old age. Nevertheless faith endures unto the end.

So let us commit to know His grace, to grow in it and to be strong in it that we as the apostle Paul may say, I endure all things for the elects sake that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. We suffer that others may obtain glory. Glory Follows!
