One Sacrifice


There is a simple little verse that illustrates our accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, in other words, our being born again. It goes like this; “Born once…die twice; born twice…die once.” This simply reveals that unless we are born again, we will die twice; once as a physical death and then a second spiritual death. To only die once all we must do is accept Christ. Jesus made it so simple for us when He made His one sacrifice on the cross for all of our sins.

In Hebrews 10:11 the Bible speaks about all those who go about doing what they believe are their good works, and making sacrifices for what they think will gain them forgiveness for their sins, but we learn as we read this scripture their efforts are all futile since there is only one way to receive God’s forgiveness and that is to accept His Son, Jesus. When we do we are then forgiven, and we are born again!

The Bible says in (Hebrews 10:14-18); Because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: “This is the covenant I will make with them \ after that time, says the Lord. / I will put my laws into their hearts, / and I will write them on their minds.” Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts / I will remember no more.”

What a confidence we have as Christians! What joy we have in Christ Jesus! We are saved…we are saved…we are SAVED! We must go and tell the world!

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 ...

I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

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...
