God's Word Is Powerful

This morning I would like to start off by saying I received an email from a very good friend of mine. My friend reminded me that God's Word is Powerful. I want to give you two examples from St Pauls letter to the Romans. The first is from Romans 3:9-18 which reads

⁹ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, ¹⁰ as it is written:

“None is righteous, no, not one;
¹¹ no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
¹² All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
¹³ “Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
¹⁴ “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
¹⁵ “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
¹⁶ in their paths are ruin and misery,
¹⁷ and the way of peace they have not known.”
¹⁸ “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

In each of these verses God is telling something about each and everyone of us, I'm sorrow to say this but it includes me also a very big sinner. These words should not represent anyone but they do and for my self they scare me 100%. Lets look at another few verses from the same letter to the Romans: 3:21-26 which reads

²¹ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— ²² the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: ²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. ²⁶ It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

These verse remind me that God gave us a free gift of a new life in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus went to the cross so we would not have to be seperated from God the Father no more, we just have to except the fact that we all are sinners and we need that free gift from God to live the way God wants us to live, with God as our adopted Father and Jesus our adopted brother. Talk about powerful words found in the book of Romans. These two are just examples of what the New Testament is all about. But as a sinner I have asked Jesus to come into my life back in 1987. I'm still a sinner but I'm saved by the free gift Of Jesus dieing on the cross so I don't can be justified in God's eyes.

I thank God for Jesus every time I talk with him. What powerful words once I was a sinner and know I'm saved. I still have my share of sins to carry but I'm not being seperated from God because of them. My life is slow changing everyday I see a new person, a person that God is reshaping for the 5oth time in my Christian life. No I'm fare from being perfect but I can few me changing on a daily basis.

Until later, remember that Jesus loves you and so do I.

EASTER IS COMING

Good Morning to Everyone:

I want to look at St Paul's Letter to the Galations for just a few minutes the verses are Galations 1:3-5 which reads

³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, ⁴ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, ⁵ to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Paul in his writing had a very simple way of putting the important part of God's gospel to the main spot light of the letter that he was writing. I see a few things in these pages the first is that Christ did die for our sins, he had to without his death and resurrection we could not grow in love with God the Father, which he wants from us very much. The second item I see is that we do live in a very evil age, an age that scares me when I think of what people are doing to God's churches. Without the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we could not have any body of belivevers better known as the church. I see the church changing in front of me and the only thing that I can do for the true believers is to keep passing on God's true gospel, nothing I made up but what God wrote himself in the New Testament. If I don't keep on passing God's good word then I feel that I'm as lost as the next guy, and I try to thank God everyday for his mercy in my life, which without it I could not call him my heavenly Father.

To my friends God is not giving up on his true church, I ask that you don't give up on God neither, I now that I still Love him today as I did when I gave over my life to him. I hope that you all have a good day knowing that God is still in control.

Love in Christ

GOD LOVES HIS WORLD!

Good Morning To Everyone:

This is a beautiful day that God wants you to know about his son Jesus Christ. Today's bible reading is John 3:16,17 which reads - ¹⁶ “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

God wants all of us to know that the word world in these two verses means the people of the earth, remember that God created us in his Spititual body. He created us because he loved us some much that he wanted us to be called children of God, and you know we can be children of God by excepting Jesus that he died on the cross so our spiritual body will never die, but have everlasting life. We can all change everyday by asking Jesus into our life, Jesus will be there to be with you when you call for his help and guildance.

Until latter have a good day
Love In Christ
