Today's encouragement comes from Isaiah 54:17, where the prophet wrote these great words:
" 'No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the ser-vants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,' says the LORD.”This (above) is an absolutely amazing verse. The promise found here is re-served *only* (now, in the New Covenant aegis) for Christ-loving and faithful members of the church which gathers on the Lord’s Days to worship God in and through the mediation of Jesus Christ.
The “righteousness” (or, “vindication”) that the saints possess is sealed in the blood of the Son of God, and it is validated in Christ’s resurrection from the dead. The enemies of the church have no chance against the true saints. Praise God!
