Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-18

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

If we look around, we will find many denominations and so many various kinds of religions in the world.

They are all proclaiming to be truth, or the way to get to Heaven. But, ultimately it’s up to us to know the truth and the way.

When we stand before God, He is not going to say to us, “Oh, you were misled. I’m sorry to hear that, but please enter anyway”.

He has given us the Truth and the Way and we must know the truth from a lie.

Jesus Christ Himself makes it very clear here by saying there is only one way, and that way is through Him.

He gave His life on the cross at Calvary, for you and for me.

This is not to be taken lightly. What He did was a demonstration of the most amazing love and compassionate sacrifice that we will ever hear of in our lifetime.

It doesn’t matter our age, our nationality, our net worth, or what we have done. He did it for us. It is a gift, and it’s up to us to receive it.

Do we want to go to the Father in Heaven when it’s our time to leave this earth? If we do, then it’s very simple. There is only ONE way to get there.

We must believe in Him, the Son of God, our Messiah and the Savior of our souls, Jesus Christ.

Dear God in Heaven,

I am a sinner and I’m sorry for the things I have done wrong. I’ve made some awful choices and I’ve lived my life doing whatever I please. But today I come to You and ask You to please forgive me and help me to change my ways and live my life with You.

I truly believe that Jesus Christ is Who He says He is; your Son, the Messiah and Savior of the world. I believe He died to set me free from my sins. Please help me today. I need You. In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

If you prayed this prayer today, the angels in Heaven are rejoicing, for you are now a child of God. You have eternal life in Heaven with Him. Praise be to God!!

Please write and let us know. We want to keep you in our prayers.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-17

Ephesians 2:11 (NLT) 11 Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.

Our salvation in Christ was once something that nobody could even imagine, never mind comprehend it.

The Jews looked down upon anyone who wasn’t Jewish. Gentiles were outsiders. We weren’t worthy to think that we could ever approach God or be considered one of His children.

Little did anyone know, though, that God had a plan for us, to bring us into His kingdom and give us the opportunity to be called His children!

When Jesus breathed his last breath, the veil of the temple was torn in two, giving us direct access to the Father!

Mark 15:38 (NKJV) 38 Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

The death of Jesus bought us, through the shedding of His blood, and we now have the opportunity to become His children.

John 1:12 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name…

What an awesome God we serve, with unlimited compassion and unconditional love for us.

Consider this today, and let it put a smile on your face every time you think of it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-15

Matthew 27:40 (NKJV) 40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

They say, “Save yourself”?, “Come down from the cross”?

They were completely oblivious to what was going on. “They” did not believe in Him. They were spiritually dead. Who are “They”?

They were people that passed by, also Chief Priests, scribes and elders.

Jesus did not need to save Himself. He was the Savior!! He had a much bigger plan. He came to save the world, He came to save you and I. Dying on the cross was part of that plan.

Through His death on the cross, He gave every one of us a chance to become sons and daughters of God and to have eternal life with Him.

Our part is to repent of our sins and put our faith in Him.

We do this by telling Him we are sorry for the wrong things we have done in our lives. Then we turn from those wrong things, meaning we don’t continue to do them over and over again. Then, we put our faith in Him. That just simply means we believe that He is who He says He is; the Son of God. And then we receive Him as our Lord and Savior.

John 3:16(NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-15

John 5:39,40 (NKJV) 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

The scriptures are God’s words that point us to His Son, Jesus Christ; our Lord and Savior. But in order to find salvation and have eternal life, we have to do more than just read them. We have to come to Jesus.

How do we come to Jesus?

We come just as we are. We don’t need to do anything to change ourselves before we come to Him. As we come to Him and give our heart and our life to Him, He will change us, help us and give us eternal life.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. When we believe in Him, repent of our sins and ask Him to save us, we will have eternal life.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Come to Him today. Let Him help you.

Maybe we are saved and we’ve been a Christian for years, but our life doesn’t seem to be changing; it’s in constant turmoil. Jesus wants us to also come to Him and talk to Him about these things, so that He may be able to help us make the changes we need to make and take the steps that will get us free from the things that are holding us down.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-15

Romans 1:16 (NKJV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

The gospel of Christ.

It is this life-saving gospel that has brought millions upon millions to repentance over the centuries.

If you are a Christian, a follower of Christ, it is only because of the gospel of Christ that you can say so.

It is only because of the gospel of Christ that you can lay claim to freedom from sin and death.

It is only because of the gospel of Christ that we came to be aware of our sinful condition and asked for God’s forgiveness, putting our faith and trust in Him.

And it is only because of the gospel of Christ that we have freedom in this life, leading us to a life forever with our Creator.

The gospel of Christ is powerful and life-changing.

Let Him change your life today, too. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-14

1 John 5:11 (NKJV) 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

The end of the world will come some day and no one knows exactly when. We can tell that it is getting close through the signs of different events taking place all around us, but we still don’t have any idea when it will actually be. All we know is it will come some day.

If we have Jesus, we are safe and have nothing to be concerned about other than what Jesus has commanded us to do. As His children, while we are here, we are to love one another.

John 13:34 (NKJV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

But those that don’t have Jesus will have a bad ending and they should be very concerned about where they will go if they don’t get things right and make the right decision. Maybe some people don’t care or even think about the end, maybe they just think that when they die that’s it… you’re dead and everything is over for you.

But this verse clearly states that it doesn’t end there and those that have Jesus will live eternally.

Don’t you want eternal life?

Get Jesus in your life today and don’t wait. You don’t have to be perfect. You can have a lot of problems. You may think you are not good enough, etc., but Jesus is not concerned about your faults, your weaknesses or your mistakes. He is concerned about your soul. Give your life to Him and He will help you work on those other problems as you walk with Him.

The end will come for each one, but if we have Jesus we are safe!

The prayer below is for those that want Jesus in their life.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I have acknowledged that I need You in my life and I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I want You to come into my heart and help guide me and lead me. I want to live my life with You and for You. I repent of all the wrong things I have done and ask for Your forgiveness. I ask You to cleanse me and make me a new creation. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Please let us know if you have prayed this prayer. We would love to celebrate with you!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-28-13

(Luke 7:50 NKJV)  Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

It won’t anyone’s faith but our own that saves us.

We can not ride on the coat tails of our Pastors and get a free ride into Heaven. They can preach us a message of salvation, but it takes our faith to be saved.

The same goes for our parents, our teachers, our brothers, sisters, or our friends, etc. We can not be saved by their faith; it has to be our own personal faith in Jesus Christ.

As we call upon the name of Jesus Christ and repent from our sins, believing that He is the Son of God and that He came to save us from our sins, we shall be saved!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-13

Ephesians 2 (NKJV) And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins…

We were all dead in our sins. Every single one of us. And sadly, very few of us even knew we were dead.

It is our sin that separates us from God. It is the great canyon that stands between us and the Father. This canyon is so vast that the human eye cannot see across it.

There is no bridge that can be built across this canyon, except for one. That one bridge cannot be built by human hands or human engineering. It is a bridge created in the spirit realm. That bridge is created across the shoulders of Immanuel, God with us, Jesus Christ.

It is held together with the large nails that were driven into His wrists and feet. And it is painted in His blood, the precious blood that washes our sins away.

And yet, even though we were dead, we have been made alive! Amen!!

Jesus paid the price for our sin… our terrible sin, and offers us redemption through His brutal death and beautiful resurrection.

This, the ultimate sacrifice, is the one thing that can make us alive and put our sin so far from us that it cannot be found or seen again.

Thank Him today for this incredible bridge that was built in a way that no man and no demon can destroy it.

Thank Him and give Him glory and honor.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-3-13

John 1:11-13 (NKJV) 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Jesus came to present Himself to the world, as a living sacrifice, to redeem a sinful humanity from our sins.

The vast majority of His own people (the Jews and those from His hometown) rejected him. But He didn’t come just for those people.

He came for “as many as received Him”! He didn’t limit His sacrifice only to the Jews or the people who knew Him as a boy. He gave of Himself freely for anyone who would receive Him unto themselves.

To these people, He gave the right to become children of God… sons and daughters of the King… the Most High God!! That applies to you and to me!

Have you received Him? Going to church doesn’t make us children of God. Believing that God exists doesn’t make us Children of God, for even the demons believe and they tremble! Singing modern spiritual songs or old hymns doesn’t make us children of God. Although all of these things are good, not a single one of them makes us His child.

We must receive Him by believing that He died for our sins and putting our faith in Him.

So I ask you again, Have you received Him?

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-13

(John 3:36 NKJV)  “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

So many times, people ask if there is more than one way to heaven or more than one way to eternal life.

Some people will try to water down the gospel and make it pleasing to man, not wanting to offend anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings. This is a disservice to the people who want to know the truth and it is a slap in the face of Jesus, who suffered and died the cruelest of deaths for every single human being on the face of the earth.

The truth is plain and simple; Jesus is the one way to eternal life. He is the one way to the Father. He is The Way.

(John 14:6 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

So if anyone ever asks a question about how to get to heaven, or how to have eternal life, or if we believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father, we should be sure to answer them very boldly and without shame or hesitation, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

There is only one way. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-8-13

(1 John 5:20 NKJV)  And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Eternal life comes from Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is that simple.

There is nothing else that can give us eternal life. There is no other way but through Jesus Christ, God’s Son. We don’t want to miss this important truth.

There are many other teachings out there that can cause confusion, but we need to get the understanding that has been given to us.

If you have been taught differently about Heaven or life after death, it needs to be compared to the Word of God to make sure it lines up with what God says is the truth. It is the truth that sets us free.

If you have never received Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, we will pray with you today a prayer of Salvation and you will have eternal life. Christ will live in you and give you understanding that you may learn Him and His way for your life.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You today at this time in my life and cry out, asking for Your forgiveness from my sinful life. I ask Jesus to come into my heart and be my Savior and help me live the life You have called me to live each day.

I ask You for Your strength, understanding and wisdom today to make the right decision. Thank you!

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

If you have received Christ as your personal Savior today, please write and let us know. We want to be praying for you and we are here if you have any questions or need help in any way.
