Welcome to the InTouch podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday, March 16th. Did you know that your circumstances don’t determine God’s love? Today, remember, no matter what you’re facing, the Lord Almighty is a God you can count on. >> How many people are there in your life that you can really and truly count on? How many people can you count on that when they tell you something, it’s really the truth. They mean it.

They’ll live by it. You can count on it. More than likely, you and I would have to say not many. You know why? Because we’ve been disappointed before. People who said, “I’m going to pray for you.” And two weeks later, when you bring up the issue, they don’t even remember it. Somebody says, “I’ll stand with you in this time.

” And you go through some difficulty, they don’t even call you. Or somebody says, “You know, no matter what happens, I’ll help you.” You never see any help. when somebody says, “I really truly love you.” And then you watch the way they act. So that’s why I want to talk about this morning this simple truth.

I want to talk about a God you and I can count on. And I want you to turn, if you will, to the 10th chapter of Hebrews, and I want us to read this 19th through the 23rd verse. And I want to sort of explain the passage as we go along because there’s one primary verse in there that I want us to look at. Hebrews chapter 10 beginning in verse 19.

Listen to what he says. Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, that is to enter heaven by the blood of Jesus, not by our works, but by the crucifixion, the substitutionary allsufficient atoning death of Christ by a new and living way, not by works, not by sacrifices, which he inaugurated for us.

That is through the veil that is his flesh. That is you and I are going to get to heaven by placing our trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ at Calvary. And since we have a great high priest over the house of God, who is Jesus Christ himself, let us draw near unto him with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water, which is his way of saying, being totally cleansed by his blood.

Let us hold fast tightly. Don’t give up. The confession of our hope, that is the belief that we have without wavering. For he who promised is faithful. Listen, faithful means reliable, unchanging, unswerving, unfaltering, unfailing. He’s always the same. That is, he’s reliable and trustworthy. You can put your trust in him. You can rely on him.
