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...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
