'But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they' (Acts 15:11).

Whether Jews or Gentiles, bond or free we are all sinners, who are saved by the grace of God through Christ Jesus. We must understand that we have no cause to boast against others, because  we were all sinners. It is Christ who has made atonement for our sins by pardoning us through His blood, justifying us before God, through His own righteousness that we may be acceptable before God. We have done absolutely nothing to deserve God's grace and favour, because we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Praise the Lord for Jesus and His wondrous work for the salvation of men. It is only through Christ that we can obtain grace; it is freely given and shall be freely accepted, as we humble ourselves before God, sensing our own unworthiness. No matter how rich or poor you are; blessed with more gifts than others; how famous or infamous; a villain or a saint; the fact of he matter is, Jesus' blood was shed for all. When you die to self, accept and believe in Him, by His grace you become a new person. Having this new birth, we can safely say, "We believe that through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they." We must never lose sight of the fact, that it is Jesus alone who can save us. He died for all, but it is all who believe in Him that will have eternal life. It is He who provides the means of salvation through His cross, that we can now enjoy by faith. It is simple as that! Salvation is by grace through faith. Let us by faith and the grace of God keep holding on to Jesus, our only hope.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
