Bible Verse of The Day – 1-17-13

(Matthew 18:11 NKJV)  “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost“.

We lost it! It was our doing in the garden.

That’s right… woman and man, man and woman. We messed up the plan as we disobeyed God, by eating of the fruit from the tree that was forbidden. It was not something to take lightly, that’s for sure. We were not going to have it easy after that ordeal.

Our relationship with Him was destroyed that day. But God, in all His Mercy and Goodness, sent His Son to save that which was lost. Our sinful nature was so bad; He could not be near us.  But, the love that He has for us saved us!

Thank you God, for your love for us and for Your  Son, who was willing to come and was crucified that we may be able to get back what was lost in the garden; our relationship with You!

As a young child, I always believed in God… that He was the Creator of this world. I believed that He loved me, and I believed He cared about me. But, that was not going to get me to Heaven or give me a relationship with Him.

What was going to get me to heaven was believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, and trusting in Him to live in me, to change me and make me the person He wants me to be.

Knowing about God has not saved me. Believing that God exists cannot save me. That’s not enough. What saved me and what saves us all is believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice that He made for us on the cross.

We have a personal Savior that has made it right so we can walk with God once again. Believe in Him today, if you haven’t already; make the best decision you’ll ever make.

Choose Jesus Christ as your personal Savior!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-1-12

(Mat 26:39-40 NKJV)  He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

I often think about this verse and wonder exactly what Jesus was feeling inside, knowing that this was the very thing He was destined for, to face death on the cross at the hands of the Roman soldiers.

Despite being God in the flesh, He was also here on earth in human form, where He experienced everything that we experience; joy, sorrow, hope, and disappointment… all of the emotions we experience on a daily basis.

But through this terrible ordeal, He chose to do what was right. He chose to die the cruelest of deaths on the cross and to redeem mankind, you and me, from our sins.

I am thankful for His sacrifice. I am thankful that He took my place. I am thankful that my soul and my salvation have been bought and paid for by His blood.

If you have grown lukewarm in your walk, stop and consider what was given for you… the price that was paid to redeem you. Let it sink in and penetrate your spirit.

If we can truly start to understand this, we will see so many things in a different light.
