 'And if any man hear my words, and believeth not, I will judge him not: for I came not to Judge the world, but to save the world' (John 12:47).

Jesus came on this earth to eradicate sin and set us free from its curse. He came as our Saviour and to give us hope - he is our only hope. Those who hear of Him and believe and accept him by faith, as their Saviour shall be saved, resulting in eternal life at His Second Coming. Those who do not accept Him by faith cannot be save (John3:36).  It is only through Jesus that we can come to the Father. Whatever Christ says and  do signify the very words and will of God the Father. Jesus is reminding us in John 12:46 that, His purpose at  His First Coming is to save us, not to judge, accuse or condemn us; even those who didn't believe on Him or for those who wilfully despise Him. His death and resurrection offers us salvation, restoration and eternity with Him; but we too have a responsibility. We have to  play our part by accepting Jesus, as the Son of God by faith, in order to be saved. Anyone who choose not to accept Jesus, is in darkness and in danger of eternal death, when He returns. He came to save us, to restore and reconciled us back to the Father, not to judge us. However, when He returns the second time, there will be no offer of forgiveness, or repentance, but He will be the Judge of the world, coming back with His reward. Those who accept Him by faith as their Saviour and Redeemer will receive eternal life. Those who rejected Him with eternal damnation. Today as you hear the words spoken by Jesus Himself, harden not your heart, but take heed and accept the Saviour of the world and the blessed hope He brings, as we enjoy eternity with Him.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
