GOOD MORNING,

It is only through Christ Jesus and His death on the cross, His burial in a borrowed tomb and His resurrection from death by the Father, that we can have redemption and forgiveness of our sins.  It is the power in His blood that washes away our every sin, cleanses our soul and makes us whole again.  Thank You, Father, for Your deliverance out of sin's darkness and into the Kingdom of Your Son and His love. See Colossians 1.12-14.

Good Morning,

The greatest gift given to us from above is Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was sent by God and who willingly left His heavenly home to die for the sins of the world.  Not His sins, because He was sinless, but your sins and mine that we might be reconciled with God and have hope of eternal life.  This He done out of pure sweet love from above.  For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son. John 3.16.  By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3.16.  How sweet, how precious was this love from above which was given to us, not to keep to ourselves but to share with others.  Today let's focus on Jesus the Christ and the love He has gifted us with and share it with others. Read 1 Corinthians 13.

GOOD MORNING,

By ONE man sin entered into the world, and DEATH by sin; and so DEATH passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Romans 5.12.  For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Romans 3.23, and the WAGES of sin is DEATH.  But through Jesus the Christ our Lord, God has gifted us with eternal life. Romand 6.23.  God commanded His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Romans 5.8.  This gift from God is the gospel; given and enjoyed by all who have heard it preached receive it and stand by it.

By it we are saved, if we keep in memory this preaching of Christ and the Apostles, unless our belief is in vain.  According to the scriptures, CHRIST DIED for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. See 1 Corinthians 15.1-4.  By God's grace we are saved through our faith; not of ourselves it is THE GIFT of GOD; not of works lest any man should boast. See Ephesians 2.8,9.  This is the testimony:that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son.  If we have the Son, we have life, if we do not have the Son we have not life.  Believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5.11-13.

All emphasis are mine.

Good Morning,

Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. (James 1.19-20).  He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding; but the hasty of spirit exalts folly. (Proverbs 14.29).  Let not angry words pass through the lips of the disciple towards others, for He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he who takes a city. (Proverbs 16.32). Beloved do not avenge yourselves.  But rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay" says the Lord.  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgives you. ( Ephesians 4.32).

Good Morning,

We are children of God by obedience, we are sons of God by inheritance. We are redeemed, forgiven and God's, own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of the darkness of sin and into His marvelous light. We were once without mercy, but have now obtained mercy. We are disciples of Christ, we deny self and take up our cross daily to follow Him, His example, and His pattern of living. Whatever we. do in word or deed, we do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father though Him. We are Christians, humans who are fallible, persecuted, and once without hope but now have hope through Jesus the Christ who lovingly gave His life on the cross that we might have remission (forgiveness) of our sins. He laid down His life for us, and we owe our life to Him. Hallelujah what a Savior!!

From 1 Peter 2.9, 10; Matthew 16.24; Colossians 3.17.
