Believe God’s Authority | Intimacy With Christ | Richard Wafford

​Revelation 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

As Christians, we struggle far too much with truth. Is God serious? Does His Word mean what it says, or should I read something different into it? Always take God’s Word as it is written, guided by reason, logic, and the Holy Spirit. Be certain that if it is written or thus saith the Lord, you had better rest your soul upon it, for one day those very Words will judge you for casually disregarding them. Ignore what the world of men tells you, even disregard theologians' interpretations of God’s Word. You, and you alone, through the Holy Spirit and much prayer, must come to understand what the truth is telling you personally.

Revelation 21:6–7: "And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son."

When God declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” and “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty,” you should truly consider all the possibilities He intends to fulfill through you. You can trust fully in any of God’s promises! When God speaks, it is as good as done! If His Word says you are loved, valued, and His child, trust Him completely.
