'Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved' (Acts 4:12).
Adam and Eve sinned and the consequences of their sin for all of humanity was death and separation from God. Christ, the Son of God had to leave heaven to solve the sin problem, by shedding His precious blood to save man. There was neither salvation in any other, whereby we could be save; it was only through the death and resurrection of Christ that it was made possible. As a matter of fact, salvation from sin was the purpose of Christ's life, death and resurrection. Even though Christ died for all, it is only those who accept him as their Lord and Saviour that will be saved by His grace through faith in Him; not by our own efforts or works. How blessed are those of us, through God's grace to receive the free gift of salvation? God loves and forgives us and is willing that none of us should perish, but to have everlasting life. But He cannot force us to accept His Son, Jesus Christ in whom alone salvation is found. It was His shed blood that paid the price for each of us. Therefore, everyone has to make that choice to accept and believe in the Person and Work of Christ in order to be saved. He alone is our blessed hope of eternal life and in Him is life, light truth and love. We who accept Christ as our Lord and Saviour, must rejoice and proclaim the good news of salvation with great boldness, so that others can come to the Saviour and experience God's saving grace. For indeed, there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be save. Praise the Lord! Let us be thankful for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, and God's saving grace.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

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
