The Gospel

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5‭-‬6 NASB

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB

and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 NASB

🌹There is but one God, our Father, for whom we exist. There is one Lord,  Jesus Christ, our mediator between God and us. We exist through Jesus. By the ransom of His life at the perfect time we are blessed to receive the kingdom of God.
If you are not seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness, it is time for repentance and belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

God is My Good

When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within, Then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.
Psalms 73:21‭-‬28 NASB

🌹 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.

Rejoice in Your Testing
