 '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🌹🌹

 '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 ...
