 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress, or persecutions, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?'
 (Romans 8:35).

It is a wonderful thing to know, that if we trust God and believe in His Son Jesus, nothing shall separate us from His love. Paul is urging us to understand that though sufferings continue, God is still with us and will see us through. There is nothing we do that keep Christ from loving us. He does  love us with an everlasting love, regardless of trials or tribulation. He is there through those trials, afflictions; our needs whether it be physical, spiritual and emotional; persecution for our faith in Christ. None of these things, can separate us from Christ's love. All believers who aspired to be in Christ, and have been saved by their faith are encouraged of God's great love for us, and feel secured before him. We have the confidence that God is for us, he loves us, even as we abide in Christ. Paul asked the question, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Nothing or no one can separate us from the love of Christ." God will not leave us  because he loves us and send His Son Jesus to die for us. Christ not only died, but rose again and is at the right hand of His Father, interceding for us. We ought to give God thanks
and praise that Christ is alive and loving us. There is nothing that can truly separate us from Christ, but protect us from any separation. Let us ponder and reflect on these words from Paul, "shall tribulation or distress, or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?" No, not one of these can separate us from the love of Christ. Let us allow God to use us for his purpose and will.

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 ...
