 'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him' (John 3:36).

John the Baptist was the forerunner for Christ. He was the earthly witness sent by God to prepare the way for His Son, who was to come and save his people from their sins. He bore witness that Jesus Christ, the Son of God came from heaven as the Lamb of God, to take away the sins of the world. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. When we accept Him by grace through faith, we gain everlasting life. The Word of God declares, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). What an awesome and loving God we have! Anyone who does not believe that Christ came into the world to save sinners, and that salvation is a gift from God and can only be received by faith in Him - His death and resurrection and the power to forgive sin; will have no part with God and will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. It is only through Jesus Christ that anyone can escape the wrath of God - the anger of God for sin. Without faith in Christ, it is impossible to please God. Without Him you cannot enjoy true life of happiness in this world or the world to come. Yet many people choose to be in this state, of refusing to accept Christ as their personal Saviour from sin. The One whose love is beyond measure and is willing to bless them with peace, happiness, and joy of eternal life with him. For all who believe on the Son, hath life in his Redeemer, who save them by his blood; life in himself as the fruit-bearing branch of the living Vine, who is Jesus Christ;  life in the precious promises of God; and life of eternity with Christ. Let us take shelter in Christ through faith, so we will have eternal life with him and so escape the wrath of God. Choose this day, life eternal with Christ, it will be the best decision you'll ever make!

Have a wonderful day and bless weekend🌹🌹

 '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 ...
