Living The Word

Jan4

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
Titus‬ ‭2:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/tit.2.11.NASB1995

The Bible. God’s word to mankind. It is important to read it, but it is even more essential that we act on it. Live it.
The Bible is our instruction manual to teach us godliness so that we may live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present world in which we live.
The Bible draws us close to our Creator, our Savior, our hope, our future and so much more. Salvation is just the beginning. Seeking God and His kingdom is our life endeavor.

🌹Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
Luke‬ ‭6:47‭-‬49‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

How is your foundation?

Sometimes You Just Need To Be Still

Jan3

“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” [11] The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah. Psalms‬ ‭46:10‭-‬11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Turn To Me

Jan2

Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. Isaiah‬ ‭45:22‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.45.22.NASB1995

God is inclusive when it comes to the offer of salvation. He already knows that all are sinners – all nationalities, all walks of life, all ages, – and that we all fall short of His glory. But God. God simply says, turn to Me and be saved. God created all mankind, that’s everybody,  and He is the only way to salvation from the sin and corruption of each individual’s life in this world. Now is the time of salvation.

‭‭Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:2‬b ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.6.2.NASB1995

Any delay could cost you your eternity. The payment made by Jesus Christ on the cross for you is eternal joy. The cost of refusing the payment made by Jesus is eternal hell. Hell does not come close to the hell you might be experiencing in your earthly life. Just remember that the choice is yours. Jesus simply says, “Turn to Me and be saved”.

‭‭🌹The Lord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.
Isaiah‬ ‭52:10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

You Are My Witnesses

Jan1

“You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He.
Isaiah‬ ‭43:10‭aNASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.10.NASB1995‭‭

‭‭These words, “You are my witnesses” holds a great responsibility. As believers in Jesus Christ, who took on our sin and saved us through His sacrificial death, we are His chosen servants. Salvation does not save us to do as we please. It is to know and understand . . .

Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And I am God. Isaiah‬ ‭43:10‭b-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.12.NASB1995‭‭

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.2.9.NASB1995

May your witness of Jesus bring others to believe and understand that He IS God.

🌹Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’ ”
Isaiah‬ ‭44:8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Restoration & Salvation

Dec22

And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My strength), He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
