God is a merciful creator who blesses those that seek Him. According to Hebrews 11:6 God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. We all need to focus our hearts and our passion on Christ and the Glory of His Gospel. We need to realize that God is coming soon to bring a New Heaven and a New Earth called New Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven Revelation 3:12 says this and also says ” I will write upon him my new name”. This describes the responsibility in God’s government in giving each person a new name. Obadiah 1:17 says that the kingdom will be the Lord’s. According to Forerunner Commentary, “When God resurrects us into His Kingdom, He will give us names to designate our existence, nature, and responsibility in the Kingdom. We are assured of carrying God’s own name if we overcome sin. What a tremendous reward to bear His name for all eternity!” It would be great to overcome sin. The only way to overcome sin is through the blood of Jesus Christ and His mercy which he has on those He has saved. We all need to reflect upon life and allow the spirit of the Lord to work within us so that we can become more and more like Him and reflect on His glory even more. We need to always remember that our God is a mighty God. He is a God of miracles and with Him all things are possible. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

God is always faithful even when we are not according to 2 Timothy 2:13, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”  God loves and “We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19”  God cares deeply about us and we are His children. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins is the ultimate proof of God’s love for us. “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13” “For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3” “This is a trustworthy saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him. If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.  2 Timothy 2:11-13”. I am thankful that Christ died for my sins and that He provide his godhead by rising from the dead. May we all know God and Jesus who died for us. In His humble prayer Jesus said, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3” Amen

As, Christian’s we should focus on Heavenly things Paul tells us to live as citizens of Heaven. “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, Ephesians 2:19” Romans 8:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” So, it is important that we be mindful of God and the love that is in Christ Jesus and, “God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:9”. God desires for us to have a personal relationship with Him. Romans 4:21 says, “what he had promised, he was able also to perform.” We, can be confident that God will provide what we need and our hearts are in the right place when we trust in Him. I’m thankful for God’s unfailing love, provision and grace. Amen

Paul tells us in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” But, what does that mean? Well, it should really teach us that we should be eager to spread the Gospel. The message that Christ died and rose from the dead for our sins is a message of hope and love. The Gospel or “Good News” is for everyone that believes or will believe. The Christian Jews can and are saved through faith and so can everyone else! May we all know him and believe in Him. Amen

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 It is through Jesus that we get to the Father and He is the only way to bridge the gap (that sin brings) and unite us to God.

“I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” (John 16:33, MSG). When Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, he overcame the world. Death was not the end of Him. While we shall face tough times Christ is with us, and we have hope in Jesus that He will always be there for us. I’m thankful that the God who overcame the world came as a man in Jesus and paid for my sin. Amen.

“2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Feeling weak is not a vice, but rather a time to lean on the Lord’s strength and find power in your relationship with Jesus. I’m thankful that where I’m weak Jesus is strong. Amen

2 Corinthians 5:20 teaches us that we are ambassadors to Christ, but what does that mean? It means as Christians we represent Christ. We are united with Christ and He is tugging on the strings of our heart. Through the blood of Jesus we are the righteousness of God. That does not mean we are perfect but rather that God does not look upon the sin of those who trust in Jesus. The Lord is perfecting us in Him which is a lifelong process, and He is cleaning and purifying us. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18” The Isaiah passage is telling us that we are seen as dirty sinners but God does not look upon our sin rather He helps us become free from our sin and makes them as white as snow. I am thankful that although we are not perfect that through the salvation Jesus has given we are seen as clean before God. As, a result we can have confidence in the gift of eternal life. Amen

The ‘Romans Road to Salvation’ (KJV)

• “As it is written, ‘There is none righteous, no, not one. …
• “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23, KJV) …
• “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23, KJV)

Evolution is a very bad belief that some people have. If, you say that you are a Christian but you believe in evolution be careful not to so quickly reject God or the book of Genesis in favor of your own view. God, is greater than you or me. Christ, created the earth with a plan and purpose. The concept of the earth exploding into existence is wrong. If, you believe in Christ yet claim that you believe in evolution, be careful as you may be calling God a liar for “God can’t be mocked… Galatians 6:7”. God is not a liar, God is truth and love, Christ is truly the Lord of all Creation. Regardless, of what you believe God loves you and has His arms wide open to receive you as a “child of God” if you only believe in Him. Often, the fact of God creating the universe may be hard to understand yet the earth’s very existence is designed to point us to God. The, indisputable fact that the Earth, and Heaven’s exist rather than nothing points to a creator. God created everything including us and we are His masterpiece. Jesus loves all His children. God’s divine plan for mankind started in the book of Genesis, unfolded throughout sacred history and continues today.
