The King we need is one who rules righteously - executes justice - and is consumed with the glory of God.
We must give earnest heed to the gospel - lest we drift from it to the detriment of our souls.
Vengeance belongs to the LORD - he will repay!
The King we need is the one who protects and provides for his people.
Men may plot all they want - but God's kingdom purposes will prevail.
Standing firm in the faith is a community project.
Believers should suffer well for the sake of Christ.
Faithful living in a hostile world entails living resolutely for the will of God and living appropriately in light of the end.
We can conduct ourselves righteously in the face of suffering because of the confident hope that we have in Christ.
Our future hope should shape and govern our present living.
