'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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
