 '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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
