 'For if, when we were enemies, we reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his llfe'
(Romans 5:10).

Sin has caused separation from God and death to the human race, as a result of Adam's disobedience. If we continue to hold on to sin, and refused to let go of it, then we will die eternally, because sin has no part with God. Sin caused us to be enemies of God, but we have an anchor through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. For all who believed in Christ, have been made right with God and saved from the condemnation of God. Through the precious blood of Christ, we have been reconciled to God and through our constant trust and faith in Him, shall be saved by his life. Our righteousness is as filthy rags, it is only through the Christ's righteousness that we can become righteous. Salvation is a free gift from God to all who will accept by grace, through faith in Christ. We are forgiven and declared righteous, even though we do not deserve it. Accepting Christ as our personal Saviour, makes it possible to have a right relationship with God. It is only through Christ that our relationship with the Father can be restored. Before Christ came to die for sinful man, we were considered enemies of God. However, since the death of Christ, all who trust in Him as the incarnate Son of God, are now considered beloved children of God. We are no longer separated or condemned by God, but shall be saved by the sinless and resurrected life of Christ. Let us be grateful for such a wonderful privilege we have in Jesus, that with confidence we can come to him freely with our concerns and difficulties. We should also be grateful for the precious blood of Jesus shed on the cross at Calvary, that freed us from the wrath of God, which was poured out on him instead of us. Let us recognised that, it was nothing we did to earn salvation, and that while we were yet sinners and enemies of God, dead in our trespasses and sin, that Christ our Saviour, died for us. He did so, to make us right with the Father again. Let us thank God for the assurance we now have in Christ that through His death and resurrection we can inherit eternal life.

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 ...
