In Christ I am: KNOWN<\/u><\/em>
\nNevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: \u201cThe Lord knows those who are His,\u201d and, \u201cLet everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.\u201d
\n2 Timothy 2:19 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

The Lord knows those who are His.\u00a0 True believers are His and He knows them.<\/p>\n

We all know there are some on this earth who say they are believers or profess to be Christians, but truly aren\u2019t\u2014they may fool everyone here on earth, but they don\u2019t fool the Lord.
\nHe knows who His are.\u00a0 And that is why this verse says: \u201cLet everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity\u201d<\/em>, for those who say they are Christians and aren\u2019t, are doing themselves and God a great injustice, and are really living in offense to the gospel.<\/p>\n

We who are true believers, can be confident that we are known by the Lord, even if sometimes we feel unknown or insignificant in this world, we can always be sure that the Lord sees us and knows us.<\/p>\n

Therefore, give thanks today if you are a true believer in Christ who stands on the solid foundation of God, for you are sealed with the Holy Spirit and the Lord knows you are His.<\/p>\n
