A Child Will Be Born

Dec7

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬a ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995

Isaiah, a prophet of the Old Testament, spoke of a coming child. A child who would be born, but not just any child. . .
‭
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.7.14.NASB1995

A child born of a virgin. A child who would be Immanuel, God with us!!

It was even revealed to Isaiah the geneology of this child and what attributes this child would have.
‭‭
Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah‬ ‭11:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.11.1.NASB1995
‭‭
This is a child worthy of following and aspiring to be like.

For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
Isaiah‬ ‭53:2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.53.2.NASB1995

Humble and plain. And yet, majestic, worthy of praise, worship, devotion, and our love and attention.

‭‭🌹for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.2.11.NASB1995

I pray your Christmas Season is filled with praise for and to Jesus, who stepped out of heaven to come as a baby into this world to save it. God bless your Christmas Season.

Do You Have The Life?

Dec6

God loved you so much that He made a way for you to live forever!!!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.16.NASB1995

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John‬ ‭4:15‭-‬16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.16.NASB1995

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John‬ ‭4:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.13.NASB1995

🌹And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
1 John‬ ‭5:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.5.12.NASB1995

Do you have the life?

Faith and Action

Dec5

But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
1 John‬ ‭3:17‭-‬18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.18.NASB1995

What does living and walking with Jesus look like?
Living – to know the word of God, as well as the Word who is God, so as to be proactive. To know God’s Word is one thing but to act on it is another.
Walking – is putting into action, out of obedience, courage and dependence upon God, His Holy Spirit, what the Word has said.

‭‭If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
James‬ ‭2:15‭-‬17 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.15.NASB1995

But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”
James‬ ‭2:18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.15.NASB1995

🌹So, let us love and serve others through the word of truth and deed by faith.
