Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-18

1 Timothy 1:15 (NKJV) 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

As we read this verse, it’s important that we apply it to ourselves, despite the fact that it was written by the apostle Paul.

We’ve all done things that we’re not proud of. Some may be “small” and others not so small. But sin is sin in God’s eyes. It’s important that we also view it as such.

You and I all stand guilty; each and every one of us. And short of God’s redemption through Jesus, we all stand condemned.

But Jesus came to set us free from our sins and the condemnation that comes with that sin.

Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace…

Thank you, God, for setting me, the worst of sinners, free through the blood of Jesus, without Whom I would be eternally lost and without hope. You have taken me from darkness, into your eternal light. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-18

John 8:36 (NKJV) 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

True freedom in Christ is something that most of us have a hard time comprehending and walking out in our lives.

It’s a hard thing for us to grasp, being free… truly free.

Freedom has many different facets. It probably means different things to different people. But no matter what it might mean to you or someone else, Jesus wants us to walk in freedom each and every day.

To most people, when we think of freedom in Christ, we think of the fact that our faith in Jesus has set us free from eternal separation from God.

While that’s true, here’s what freedom really means in a deeper sense.

Freedom from death, with new life in Christ. Freedom from condemnation with God’s forgiveness. Freedom from guilt, with God’s mercy. Freedom from worrying, with God’s provision. Freedom from shame, with God’s grace. Freedom from sadness and depression, with God’s joy.

And there are so many other ways that God sets us free in Christ. But it’s important that we understand that freedom is not limited just to being forgiven for our sins. Freedom encompasses every aspect of our lives if we let it.

It’s up to us to let God teach us and show us how to live in this incredible freedom. Because if we don’t let Him teach us, we live in ignorance, carrying burdens that He never intended for us to carry.

Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-17

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Truth is a funny thing. We all claim to want to know the truth about so many things. But sometimes when we actually know the truth, it can be hurtful and hard to swallow.

But, once we know the truth, we can move toward dealing with it and moving beyond it. Then and only then can we be free of the things that hurt us.

But there is another Truth that sets us free. His name is Jesus.

Jesus said that He is “the way, the truth, and the 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.

In the natural realm, the words and actions of others hurt us and cause us to live in bondage. But Jesus, who is the Truth, brings complete, lifelong, eternal freedom from every form of captivity.

You see, Jesus doesn’t just show us why we’re hurting. He also provides healing and deliverance from those very things and He teaches us how to live free.

His freedom is true and everlasting, unlike anything the world offers us. It isn’t based on self help or some kind of program. It doesn’t rely on an organization to make it happen. And it isn’t dependent on a leader or other person to administer it properly.

Jesus goes right to the source and touches those places deep inside of us where the wounds are deep and festering. And His touch brings the healing needed to set us free once and for all.

So we encourage you to embrace the Truth. And walk in the freedom that Jesus died to give us all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-16

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Do you have things in your past that you’re not proud of? Do those things sometimes try to come back to torment you or remind you of who you used to be, before you put your faith in Christ?

Sometimes those things can really work on our minds, trying to make us feel guilty, condemned or worthless. They can even make us feel like we’re at risk of missing out on eternity with our heavenly Father.

But don’t listen to any of it! These are lies from the enemy. He will play games with our minds, trying to make us believe that we’re never going to live up to God’s standards. He will make us feel like less than we are as children of God.

But we’re here to remind you today, right this minute, that you’re free, in the name of Jesus.

You’re free from guilt. You’re free from condemnation. You’re free from death, hell and the grave.

Jesus made sure of this when He took our place on the cross, dying a cruel death. And He sealed the deal when He rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

So don’t let the whispers of the enemy torment you any longer. Turn your back on him and walk away, once and for all. Remind yourself that you have been bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.

John 8:36 (NKJV) 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Go! And be free in the name of Jesus!
