Jesus Came To Save

Dec24

“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

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:17-18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.17-18.NASB1995

🌹But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

Is there ever a time in your day when you ponder the blessings that God bestows on you? Those little treasures that pop up throughout your day that you just know they are from God? Do you see the glory of God?

Born of God

Oct22

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.
1 John 5:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.5.1.NASB1995

All things have come into being through Christ and apart from him, nothing came into being. By believing in Jesus, we are born of God. In Jesus is life. He is the Light of Mankind. Those who follow Him will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life.

🌹but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
1 John 2:5-6 NASB1995

Favorite Verse

Sep16

Do you have a special verse that speaks to you? A verse that may encourage you, give you relief, peace; strengthens you or guides you?

I treasure all of God’s word but I have a verse that stands out in my life.  Moses is a favorite of mine. He was used by God.  He knew God and God knew him. The verse I want to share today is:

Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!”
Exodus 33:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/exo.33.18.NASB1995

I often ask God to show me His glory and He has revealed it to me. My mind and eyes, over the years have been trained, I believe, to see God’s glory as I walk with Him in life. I see His glory in the magnificence of a sunset or sunrise. I hear His glory in the laughter of a giggling child. God reveals His glory in an answered prayer, a new believer, scripture that comes at just the right time, from a friend or reading it somewhere, and so many other ways. I watch closely to see God’s glory.

I would love to be encouraged by your verse or verses if you are willing to share it and how it speaks to you.

🌹Jesus *said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Belief or Faith?

Jul7

But someone (will) 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.2.18.NASB1995

Are you content being a believer? You said the prayer. You got baptized. Then . . . No fruit. No obedience. No spiritual growth.

Jesus said, “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
Luke 6:46 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.6.46.NASB1995

Faith is more than believing. Faith is living. Living for Jesus . . .

In obedience to His word.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
Matthew 10:27 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.10.27.NASB1995

Growing, nourishing your spirit.

but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:18a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2pe.3.18.NASB1995

Bearing fruit.

My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
John 15:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.8.NASB1995

Faith is being all in, sold out to the Lord.

“Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.
Matthew 10:32, 38-39 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.10.32-39.NASB1995

No act of worthiness means anything, but only faith through the Spirit in us working through love.
Galatians 5:5-6 NASB1995

Belief is not enough.

🌹You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
John 6:39-40 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.6.39-40.NASB1995

The Choice is Yours

Apr22

I (Jesus) have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
John 12:46-48 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.12.46-48.NASB1995

All Will Bow; All Will Praise

Apr21

So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place; that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”
Acts 26:22-23 NASB1995

https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.22.29.NASB1995

Are you ready to face the Almighty God, your Creator, and give an account of your life?
