(Ephesians 2:4)…..But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,…..
The devil promotes the lie that God is mad at people and anxious to condemn them, but the Bible says that God is rich in mercy. It is true that God will judge mankind for his sin, but He is not condemning man because He is mean. Man will be condemned because they do not know God and because they did not believe the gospel (1 Thessalonians 1:5-10).
Mercy means not getting …
(John 20:31)…..but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. “But how can I believe in an invisible God?” You may not see God, but open your eyes and look around and you will see God in action, through His creation, and His work in His people, in people’s testimonies of God’s provision and deliverance, in miracles happening all over the earth, in answered prayer.
(John 20:29)…..Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you …
(Psalm 7:1-8)…..O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me, 2 lest they tear me like a lion, rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands, 4 if I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample …
(1 Timothy 2:1-2)…..First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
He’s not my president! I never voted for him/her! They are from that ultra liberal party! He/she is to conservative for me! I have heard so many horrible things that people say about the political party they are opposed to. But let’s assume for …
Good morning! Here is an early thought to ponder, “How great is the name of God to us?” “To you individually?” If His name is not great to us, then why isn’t it? The LORD’s name is this name that we can call upon to save us (Psalm 5:11)! That should excite us today! The name of God, when we reflect on Him, should stir so many emotions in us because He is….
The second epistle of Peter is certainly a poignant letter written with an awareness that his death was imminent (2 Peter 1:14). Warning that false teachers would seek to lead them astray (2 Peter 2:1-2). With a hope that they would be mindful of the commandments given to them by the apostles of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:1-2).
The final command this aged apostle leaves his readers is a charge to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). …
(1 Thessalonians 2:17-20)…..But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. 18 Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy.
“For what is our hope, or joy, or …
The power and authority that Jesus has as King that He can redeem us and forgive us from sin and death is absolutely amazing. But to be translated into the Kingdom of Christ at the moment we believe the gospel is even more amazing. After all, Jesus Christ is the King of kings, and He is Lord of lords. Jesus is proclaimed to be a King, He claimed to have a kingdom, He even came into this world to proclaim the truth that He is a king (John 18:36-37). After …
(Matthew 22:37-38)…..Jesus said to him, “`You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great commandment.
The most important command is to love God with all your being. As with all His commands, God does not give this for His benefit, but for your benefit. Loving people, while important, is only secondary according to Jesus. In practice, because God loves people, loving Him will result in you loving people also. When you get your …
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, end of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
For intercourse with God, His word and prayer or both indispensable; and in the inner chamber they should not be separated. In His word, God, speaks to me: in prayer, I speak to God. The Word teaches me to know the God to whom I pray: it teaches …
