Being Like Christ-Jack Blake
Friday, September 06, 2024Good Morning,
You have put off the old self with its deeds and practices, Colossians 3.9, and have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and now belong to Christ. Galatians 5.24, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created you. Colossians 3.9, 10. We are to have the mind of Christ, Romans 12.16 and be like Him in character. Putting off the old man and putting on the new is both something we did in the past, as seen in the Colossian letter, and in Ephesians 4.22-24. It is stated as a command. This is not easy, but the disciple is to grow in Christ, adding daily to his faith. I myself and I'm sure others are lacking in this command. Pray for us.
Be Not Condemned-Jack Blake
Wednesday, August 28, 2024Good Morning,
No one who is in Christ Jesus, who walk according to the Spirit and not the flesh is condemned, for Jesus the Christ is the Spirit of life who has freed us from the law of sin and death. As long as we abide in Him and He in us, we are indeed His disciples and we shall know the truth which sets us free from the law of sin. The law was weak through flesh, but God sent to us His beloved Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin; He condemned sin in the flesh, and gives us hope of eternal life with Him. Therefore brethren, through this man is preached the forgiveness of sins, and all who believe is justified from all things not justified by the law of Moses. Let us be thankful for His Son and for His word.
Only Through Jesus-Jack Blake
Friday, August 23, 2024GOOD 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.
Without Him I Can Do Nothing-Jack Blake
Friday, August 02, 2024Good Morning
We are not sufficient of ourselves, our sufficiency is of God. 2 Corinthians 3.5. And God is able to make all grace abound toward us, sufficient always with all sufficiency in all things, that we may abound to every good work. 2 Corinthians 9.8. In all these things we are more than conquerors. Romans 8.37. We are blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4.13. Without Him I can do nothing.,
The way of the cross-Jack Blake
Friday, July 05, 2024Good Morning,
Blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again, a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1.3. And blessed are those who know, keep and do His commandments that they might have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. See Revelation 22.14. The Lord God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. 2 Peter 1.3. The Lord has shown us what is good and all He requires of us is to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him. Micah 6.8. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him John 14.6. Your word, O Lord, has given me life Psalms 119.50. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. Galatians 2.20. The way of the cross leads home and there is no other way.
