 days' (John 12:48).

Faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God is paramount in the salvation of man. He was the incarnate Word of God and the fulfilment of God's written Word. He became flesh and dwell among men, as the embodiment of the eternal God, through whom all things were made. He came to save us from the bondage of sin and to restore us back to the Father. We receive the free gift of salvation offered by God, through the blood of Jesus Christ, and can be attained when we accept by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God. Christ said that if anyone hear his words and believe not, he doesn't judge them, because the reason he came was not to judge the world, but to save the world (see John 12:47). He went on to say, that all who reject him and his message will be judged on the day of Judgement by this same truth he had spoken. In other words, "I am here to save you; to establish a means of salvation for all who will believe on me, not to judge you, but a day is coming when you will be judged on these same truth." For those who reject Him and his message will not have any part in that salvation. But will be judged by the same "words" that He has spoken; on the day of judgement at his Second Coming. All generations, past and present who did not believe in Christ and had rejected Him will be lost forever. It is Christ alone, that provides the means of salvation and if we dont believe in him, we don't believe in God; if we reject Christ we also reject God, who has sent him and therefore we will have no part with God. Christ's mission was to come and save his people. He came in the form of man, so he could be more relatable in seeking to save us. Let us not be blinded by the truth of God, and be deaf to His Word, lest we fall in the same trap of those who had rejected the Saviour. He is now in the process of judging the world as our righteous Judge and will be coming back to this earth to vindicate his people and give of his just reward. Let us keep trusting and believing in Jesus. It will be worth it in the end!

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 ...
