 'That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life'
(Titus 3:7).

Humankind sinned and our loving Saviour, Jesus Christ came down from heaven to save us from eternal ruin. He did not save us because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. It was through the shedding of His precious blood that our sins were been washed away, and through the working of the Holy Spirit receive newness of life. It is only because of God's grace that we were made right and given the confidence of inheriting eternal life.
If we think for one second that, it is because of our own righteousness we are saved, we fool ourselves, seeing that our righteousness is as filthy rags. We can only be made right by Christ's righteousness. It is God's grace that declares us forgiven and reconciled back to Himself after sin had  separated us. It is salvation by grace through faith in Christ, that makes eternal life possible, not our works. As believers it behoves us to live a life that reflects the beauty and character of Christ. We must truly believe that it's only by the grace and kindness and mercy of God that His Son was sent to die in order to save us; not because of anything good we have done. We ought to thank God that through His Son we have been made new, and by the cleansing word of the Holy Spirit which He has poured out  upon us we are purified. Let us be encouraged, that "because of His grace, He made us right in his sight and give us confidence that we will inherit eternal life." Let us take time to reflect on what that means to us as believers and alsothose who are still in the Valley of decision.

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 ...
