God gives us our gift of eternal life

We are not able to save ourselves, no matter how many good works we have done, or the sins we have committed. Eternal life is God’s special gift to us. Scripture tells us our only way of salvation is through Jesus Christ, our Lord. What is the prerequisite of our gift? Agreeing with the testimony of Scripture: (Romans 6:22-23) “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus has paid our sin debt in full.

Our sin with all our guilt has been removed by the supreme sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. There is no sin so bad that our redemption will be denied – the only exception is the rejection of Jesus.

God’s special gift to us covers every sin from our past, present, and future. So what is our obligation to God? Nothing; except to believe in and accept His precious Son Jesus. There are no other conditions; this gift is ours forever. God’s Word, His promises, and the presence of His Holy Spirit within us confirm this truth of our eternal life thanks to Christ.

How you feel will not confirm your salvation. Believing what God says will. Read (Acts 16:31) “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved –you and your household.” This is an important moment for you. Please bow your head right now and thank God for His precious gift. He loves us so much He gave His ONLY Son just for you and me!

Jesus is; freely given; fully sufficient; and forever yours!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
