 '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...

'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 ...
