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.”
John 3:21 NASB1995

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.3.20-21.NASB1995

God is to us a God of deliverances; And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
Psalms 68:20 NASB1995

Do Not Be Deceived

Jun11

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
James 1:13-15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.13-15.NASB1995

Lust: an intense desire, craving, yearning for . . . our own way; our desire; craving the things of this world instead of God’s kingdom.

Seeking our own desires is lust. When our lust is played out it becomes sin and if our sin is not dealt with, our sin will lead to death.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
1 Corinthians 6:9a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.6.9.NASB1995

They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, And their mind prepares deception.”
Job 15:35 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.15.35.NASB1995

🌹As born-again Christians we are to confess the lusts of our heart, before it turns into a sin, then be seeking God’s kingdom and His desire for us.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

What Are You Pursuing?

Jun9

But the brother (church member) of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;
James 1:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.9.NASB1995

What “high position” is that? It is not our social status, but that we are a child of God, an heir. Are we taking great delight in our high position, living in His glory?

and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass (the flower of the grass) he will pass away.
James 1:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.10.NASB1995

Just as the man of “humble circumstances” will pass away, so will the rich man. His humiliation is to know that he is a sinner and without Christ, the only thing he is worthy of is eternal death. Without Jesus we are all dead. The pursuit of God should outweigh the pursuit of wealth, fame, comfort in this life.

For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
James 1:11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.11.NASB1995

🌹What, or should I say, ‘Who are we pursuing’ this side of eternity?

Remember: Your Choice

May28

Free will:
I either choose to do my will or God’s will.
I choose to obey or disobey commandments.
I choose to follow God’s way or my way.
I choose to believe God’s truth or the world’s (my own self made) truth.
I choose to live for Jesus or for myself.
I choose God’s will or my will.

In the Garden, Jesus chose the Father’s will,

saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
Luke 22:42 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.22.42.NASB1995

Walking with Jesus is letting Him lead. It’s letting God show us the way so we may fulfill His purpose in us and through us. Submission to His will is allowing us to partake in His grand plan for mankind . . . life, peace, eternal blessings, love and joy. It’s to live eternally with no sin, no pain, no anguish, no fighting, no war, etc.

Your choice.
A lifetime of anguish and pain now – doing God’s will and a peaceful, perfect eternity with no anguish;
OR
Your will now that continues the anguish of sin for eternity.

Will you let God have His way in you?

for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.2.13.NASB1995

Jesus *said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
John 4:34 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.4.34.NASB1995

🌹Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Walking in The Light of Life

May2

In God, whose word I praise,
In the Lord, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust (trust without fear),
I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

For You have delivered my soul from death,
Indeed my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of the living (life).
Psalms 56:10-11, 13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.56.10-13.NASB1995

🌹Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living.

Journey to The Cross – It is Finished

Apr18

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,

🌹“It is finished!” ✝️

And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

10. Journey to The Cross – Jesus Before The Father

Apr14

In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.
Hebrews 5:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.5.7.NASB1995

Jesus was heard. God hears your prayers.

“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.”
Matthew 26:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.26.2.NASB1995

Then He *said to them (three of His disciples), “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”
And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
Matthew 26:38-39 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.26.38-39.NASB1995

He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
Matthew 26:42 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.26.42.NASB1995

Are you willing to say, “Your will be done”, as Jesus did?

🌹Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
Matthew 26:46 NASB1995

Are You Free?

Jan29

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.14.NASB1995

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
Romans 8:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.2.NASB1995

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
Romans 6:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.12.NASB1995

By the power of Christ’s resurrection all mankind has the opportunity to live a life of righteousness because by His death we have been justified. If you have not surrendered to follow Jesus Christ in His truth, way and life — is today the day to make that choice?

The alternative is condemnation that came through the disobedience of one transgression.

So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
Romans 5:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.5.18.NASB1995

🌹 The choice is yours.

Hope For Deliverance

Where now is my hope? And who regards my hope?
Job 17:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.17.15.NASB1995

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine.
