Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-14

Romans 6:10-11 (NKJV) 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

He died once for all.

Jesus, the son of God, came to earth as a human being and walked among men for 33 years.

He didn’t come to put on a show. He didn’t come just to be known as a good person. He didn’t come just to show people that He could teach others.

Jesus, the Christ, came to earth to redeem us from our sin. He came to bring us life to the fullest. He came to pay the price for our sinful ways and bridge the gap between mankind and God… the gap that was created by sin.

Jesus hung on a cross, held there by three large nails through his wrists and feet. He endured the cruelest of deaths as payment for the things that you and I have done; The terrible, shameful sin that we all commit throughout our lives.

Now, this isn’t being written to make you feel guilty, ashamed or condemned. Jesus took that shame and guilt onto Himself on the cross. And when He died, He offered you the chance to have your guilt and shame wiped away.

You just need to ask. You just need to reach out to Him and tell Him that you know you’re guilty of the sins you’ve committed. And ask Him to forgive you and make you new.

It’s that easy… that straight forward. Reach out and take the gift being offered to you by God, through Jesus, and be made whole and new. Done deal.

And then turn from your sinful ways and walk in life as a new creation in Christ, dead to sin and alive in Christ.

Don’t wait. Don’t put it off any longer. Today is your day. Take that step right now.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-12

(Eph 2:1-2 NKJV)  And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, {2} in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience…

With Christ we are a new creation and we are alive! Today, let us celebrate the life that we have been given through God’s mercy and His Son, Jesus Christ!

We wonder at times why we get mistreated by others or how people can say and do the things they do at times. We have to understand that just as we were once without Christ, so are they without Christ. If someone is without Him, they are considered dead. Therefore what else should we expect from dead people? They don’t know how to live.

This world we live in is full of dead people…those without Christ. They have been born into evil just as we were at one time. We are here to show them God’s love and mercy with the hope that they too will give their life to Christ and come alive in Him and LIVE!!

Today, let us remember that we once were dead and someone showed us God’s love and the way to life. We must do the same for others!!

Let us not give up on the dead… the unsaved. We can pray, and show them how to receive life through Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-1-12

(Acts 4:7 NKJV)  And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

Oh Hallelujah! By what power and by what Name they asked, and what was Peter’s response? In Acts 4:10 He says, “by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the One you crucified”.

You see, putting Jesus on that cross did not stop Him. As a matter of fact, that was the whole plan of the Father. (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.

He sent His Son to die for us, for our sins. He made a way through Jesus so that we may have ever lasting life and a wonderful relationship with the Father while we are here on earth.

They thought Jesus was dead after they crucified Him. But No; Jesus was more alive then before. For now His Spirit did not only live in Him, but in all who believe; all who believe!

Praise God! If you have received Him as your personal Savior, He is Alive in YOU! Oh the Victory we have through Jesus Christ. He is living in You today! Such power we have in His name!!

Shout for Joy! Don’t let this world have a voice over you and say you are poor, or weak because of your material status, your social status or any other status. If you have Christ, you have more then enough! Material things will pass away, but Christ lives in YOU forever!!

You are RICH in Christ!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-12

(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.

This is one of my favorite verses. It sums up the entire foundation of our salvation in a way that nobody can sensibly dispute it. Period.

Jesus is the way, He is the truth and He is the life. There is nothing found outside of Him. He offers us eternal life through simple faith.

There is no need for a 12-step program, a complicated set of rituals or anything else that man might be able to conjure up in order to make it difficult or to try to make it fit into a logical mold for our better understanding.

If anyone denies Jesus or His deity, they deny life itself. God has made it simple for us to have life in Him. Sadly, we have complicated it and made it seem difficult.

If anyone ever tries to tell you that salvation requires anything more than faith in the messiah, Jesus Christ, walk away from them and never listen to a single word they speak, because their words are not of God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-30-12

(Rev 21:6 NKJV)  And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

Who’s thirsty today? Who wants life in their situation, in their home, in their Church, in their cell group, in their worship team, etc.?

It is free for us today.  As we thirst, and as we come to the Alpha and Omega, He will give it to us! Isn’t it good to know that as we come thirsty, our thirst will be quenched?

Have you ever been so thirsty that nothing you drink takes it away? You keep having to drink because nothing quenches that thirst.

The Alpha and Omega has given us the fountain of the waters of life to drink from and that is His Holy Son, Jesus Christ. Cry out to Him today, and drink.
