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 – 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 – 1-3-15

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
