Bible Verse of the Day

  • Your Daily Bible Verse – 1-31-12

    (Gal 6:14 NKJV)  But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

    Boasting in ourselves or our accomplishments is never a good thing. This can lead to pride and pride can lead to destruction.

    But we can boast in our God and the things that He has done in our lives through Jesus!

    We absolutely love sharing testimonies with people about what God has done in our lives. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to stop talking about Him and His goodness! Otherwise, we’ll just keep talking!

    But today, it’s your turn. We want to hear from you, our faithful readers, about how God has used the daily Bible verses to help you. We want to know about how God has healed you, delivered you, saved you, drawn you closer to Him, restored your marriage, or anything else He has done through the Words that have been shared with you each day.

    And don’t get us wrong, this is not for our glory, but for His. It’s good to share what God has done and we love to hear it too. So, if you can, please take a few minutes and send us a note, to share about how God has been at work in your life, though the Bible verses.

    Thank you so much. We appreciate each and every one of you!

  • Your Daily Bible Verse – 1-13-12

    (John 19:30 NKJV)  So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

    It is finished. These are the most crucial words spoken in human history.

    These three words tell us that the work Jesus had come to do was complete. There was nothing further needed to secure our salvation.

    His death on the cross paid the price for our sins 100%. Not 50%, 75% or even 99.9%. His shed blood, offered up for us, paid the price in full.

    Anyone who tries to tell us that there is anything further needed to secure our salvation is diminishing the importance of His sacrifice and implying that what Jesus did was not good enough.

    These are very serious words to consider. Don’t ever let anyone, anywhere, tell you that Jesus’ death wasn’t enough. If Jesus said it is finished, then it is finished.

  • Your Daily Bible Verse – 1-11-12

    (Acts 16:29-32 NKJV)  Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. {30} And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” {31} So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” {32} Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

    Today I want to bring your attention to something that is a point of debate for many people. Hopefully this will bring some clarity to an area where some people get very confused.

    What must I do to be saved? This was the question asked of Paul & Silas while they were in prison for preaching the gospel of Jesus. A prison worker came to Paul & Silas, trembling, asking them with all sincerity what he must do to be saved.

    Paul didn’t go into a long dissertation or a deep theological message. It wasn’t necessary. He told this man to do one simple thing: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. And that is all that is required.

    We are not required to be baptized to be saved. We are not required to join a church or a denomination to be saved. We aren’t required to walk down an aisle or respond to an altar call to be saved. We simply need to reach a point within ourselves where we believe on a personal level and accept the sacrifice that Jesus made for us, on a personal level. That’s it.

    Baptism is good, and we should all be baptized. But it is not a requirement for salvation. Responding to an altar call is good, if that’s where God happens to reach us, but it’s not required for salvation. Many things are good, but they are not required for our salvation. Simply believe on a personal level, and you will be saved.

    Do you believe?

  • Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-19-11

    (John 6:57-58 NKJV)  “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. {58} “This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

    Living for God and partaking of Him is simply receiving the gift that He has given us, His Son Jesus Christ. We need to believe it with all our hearts, allowing Jesus to come into our lives and change us.

    You see, if Christ is living in us, if we give Him full rule and reign over us, WE WILL CHANGE!

    Things in us, desires and so forth that we had, will begin to change. Our language and our thoughts will change. The way we treat people and act around people will change. Our financial situation will change, etc.

    It doesn’t happen overnight, but it will happen over time as we allow Jesus to move and have control over our daily routines. It’s fun, It’s exciting and full of adventure!

    This world, the everyday hustle and bustle will not be here forever. And then WHAT?

    (John 6:27 NIV)  Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

    Are you going to live forever? Eat of the bread the Father has sent us and LIVE!!

  • Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-07-11

    (John 5:39-40 NKJV) “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.

    Here Jesus is talking to the Jews. They studied the scriptures but
    were not willing to come to Him that they may have LIFE. How sad is
    that?

    Today I want to ask you this question; do you have life in Jesus?
    Not “do you know the scripture?” Because, like the Jews, it wasn’t
    enough.

    Let’s not just be readers of the scripture. NO! We need to know Him
    in our hearts. Take time to seek Him and know Him.

    The Jews of that day knew the scriptures, but understand this when
    I say it, “THEY did NOT know HIM”. They had “head knowledge”, but
    that was it! When it came right down to accepting Him for who He
    was, they wouldn’t.

    It is the Heart to Heart relationship, the everyday walking,
    talking, and seeking Him in our lives that will help us to know Him.

    My concern is that we are not deceived into thinking we know Him,
    when really we just know of Him.

    Knowing the Scriptures will not save us. Knowing who Jesus is won’t
    save us.

    The Bible gives us knowledge about how to be saved. We have to take
    action and we must accept Jesus as our Savior by believing that He
    is God’s son, and that He dies for our sins. Believing and
    repenting of our sins is where the heart to heart relationship
    begins.

    If you have never personally accepted Jesus, but only know of Him
    and what the scriptures say about Him, take time today to go to Him
    and accept Him into your life as Your Lord and Savior.

    Dear God,

    I acknowledge that Your Word, the Holy Bible, is the truth and that
    Jesus died for my sins. I understand that the only way to get to
    heaven is by believing that You are who You say Your are, and that
    Jesus is the Son of the Most High God. I want to receive Jesus as
    my Savior. Today I take action and ask Jesus to come into my life,
    change me and make me what You want me to be. I’m sorry, for the
    mistakes I have made. I was living without You. Forgive me of my
    past and help me to allow You to lead me, from this this day,
    forward.

    Today I have newness in You and I receive my Salvation. Thank you
    Jesus, I love you.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray. Amen

    (John 3:16 NKJV)  “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.

    We often see this verse quoted when people are trying to tell others how much God loves us.

    Today, though, I’d like to talk about the fact that He actually gave His son.

    God could have given anything because He is God. He chose to give His son, His very best, to save us. He didn’t give His second best. He gave His best.

    So today I’d like to encourage everyone by reminding you that God gave His very best for you when He gave Jesus. He loves you that much.

    So in return, I want to urge you to give God your best! Give Him your all. Let Him have your whole heart and all of you!

    He deserves it.

  • Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-29-11

    (John 4:42 NKJV)  Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

    I got saved at an early age in my life. I remember the day I gave my life to Christ. I have 8 brothers and sisters and we all went up to the front of the church that day to receive Jesus. It was an exciting moment, but very serious indeed.

    My parents paved the way for us. They gave us this opportunity to learn about Christ by sending us to church even if we didn’t want to go. They would pray for our salvation and believe that one day we too would have Christ as our Savior.

    I did accept Christ that day as my own personal Savior, even though I was with all my brothers and sisters. It was years later that I began to learn more about Christ and He became even more personal to me.

    At first, as a child, I would watch and learn how to be a good Christian by the way my Mom and Dad would do things. But as I grew and matured, Jesus taught me more as an individual and led me in a way that I could understand Him.

    He taught me how to trust in Him and believe Him for the things He would advise me to do. He walked me through personal situations that no one else knew of but me and I saw His love and faithfulness in answering my prayers.

    He became my very own personal Savior and today our relationship is so dear and special to me. I made Him my own.

    Make Him your own today. Let Him take you on a journey you won’t forget and you won’t sell out on Him, because His love is so real!
