All Souls Are Mine

Clothed in Righteousness

Mar16

It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Revelation 19:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rev.19.8.NASB1995

“The fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” How well will we be clothed at the coming of our Lord?

Do you know that you KNow that you KNOW?!

Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’ Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. “But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, and he *said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.
Matthew 22:9-12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.22.9-12.NASB1995

Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Matthew 22:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.22.13.NASB1995

Again, we need to ask ourselves, “Am I dressed in the righteousness of Christ?
And will I say  . . .”

🌹I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

The Goodness of God

Mar13

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”
Psalms 16:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.2.NASB1995

How much effort do you give to your relationship with Jesus? Is He your #1 desire?  The strength of your heart? Do you long for the nearness of God? Does your walk with the Lord make you want to share the goodness of God with others? Are you clothed in the righteousness of Christ and living out your faith before others?

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
Philippians 3:8-9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.3.8-9.NASB1995

How valuable is your relationship with Jesus to you?

🌹I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”

Mar10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.1.7.NASB1995
