Be careful as you approach God. You might be doing evil – and not know it (Ecclesiastes 5:1). Do you legitimize your favorite sin as approved by God? Legit sins. What a deal that would be! Live anyway you want, but… just try to be very loving. God is so loving He’s sure to accept us, right?
The Overcoming Faith of Christ Followers
A faith that overcomes the daily faith challenges of life – is only possible because God made us brand new inside. Have you been made brand new – in Jesus?
What are you filled with?
You can change the course of eternity! Do you want to really live large? Make Jesus your Savior, the Lord of your life — forever.
Promises God makes about your salvation
God made some huge promises. Absolutely beyond huge. Eternally huge promises. Salvation is His biggest. Do you have that one secured?
Shrink back? Not a chance!
Salvation in Christ is a sure thing — because God Himself saves us. THAT is a sure thing!
God takes care of sinners
We all sin. The allurements of the enemies of our soul entrap us with sin, saying, go that way. The message of Christ says, repent, turn this way. “I am the way, the truth, and the life….” We struggle not to sin. So, what kind of sinner are you?
Good Fruit
Jesus taught that He is the Vine. And we are to be on that Vine – producing fruit. He explains that it is of upmost importance that we “abide” or remain in Him. Where are you “abiding”?
God Is My Refuge and Strength
In the midst of it all, I remind myself that I am born again. I am following Him. Each day I will acknowledge His presence in my life. I will daily live in the knowledge of what God has changed me into. The Lord has promised good to me.
It’s Too Late
Statement from hell: “Just died and gone to hell. It’s too late to turn back now.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. – 2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus Saved Me
Because I have been born-again, transformed into a new creation, I am not a mere human, but rather — a brand new type of creation of God. I hope you also have been born again, re-created by God. You can be if you respond to God. It’s not too late… till it’s too late.
Faith and Works
Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6), but faith is incomplete without works.It is true: faith alone is the requirement for salvation. But faith without works is dead. Works alone cannot save (Ephesians 2:8-9). Turn to Jesus with all that you are, all that you do.
Losing It
Our hope is always ever in Christ, never in our strength, never in our abilities, never in our own self. Always – our hope is in the One who changed us for His purposes. My salvation does not rest in me. God has me in His hands, and His hands are strong. And He will never let us go. That is why I am not afraid.
