 'For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved'
(Romans10:13).

The Bible states that all have sinned and come  short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). As sinners we all have redemption in Christ Jesus, therefore we must believe by grace through faith in Him. It does not matter what race or culture  we are from, for the Lord gives his riches to all who call upon Him. When we place our faith in Christ and call upon His name, seek his salvation, we shall be saved. Paul was saying back then, that whether they be Jews or Gentiles, it didn't matter to the Lord, as long as they turn to Christ in faith, believed and call upon His name they shall be saved. Christ came to save all humanity, and when we come to Him and confess that He is Lord, believing that God raised Him from the dead, we shall be saved.  Just as how Paul had a deep desire for his fellow Jews to accept Christ as their Messiah and Saviour of the world, we too must have a great desire for souls to be won for the kingdom of God. As believers, we need to point unbelievers, as well as, those who are searching to know truth, to the Messiah. Let then know what Jesus did at the Cross for them and us alike. Joel and other Old Testament prophets of God called Israel to repent of their sins and turn back to the Lord their God. In the New Testament, we have John the Baptist, the disciples and Paul calling both Jews and Gentiles alike to repent and turn to the Lord. As believers we too are called by Jesus to go and tell all nations of the good news of salvation, the Gospel of Christ. Salvation is offered to all who will believe and call upon the name of Jesus    Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Let us  therefore, trust in the Lord and call upon His name that we can be saved in God's eternal kingdom. The time is now!

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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
