 'In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death'
(Proverbs 12:28).

Righteousness is of God and is only attained by our faith through Jesus Christ. There is no condemnation for all who are in Christ Jesus. Therefore we need to trust in Christ our Saviour, who is the resurrection and the life. In Him we will never experienced eternal death, if we follow the footsteps of Christ. All who believe in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life. We all have choices in life as well as,  the path we choose to take. Let us choose wisely to follow Jesus all the way, that we may live; not only in this life but in the next with Jesus. We cannot earn righteousness in our own strength, but being justified before God, entitle us for eternal life, as we are justified by His righteousness. When we walk out of the path of  Christ, we enter into danger zone and can easily miss our chances of the pathway to eternity. In the way of righteousness, there is no death. Meaning, all of us  as sinners are appointed to die because of sin. Those who died in Christ will not experience  the second death, because Christ took that death for us at Calvary, that we may have eternal life. Some people may be physically alive but spiritually dead, and when Christ return they will die forever. Let us seek God and make the right choices for our salvation. We should pupose in our heart to walk in the way of righteousness, living by faith that we may enjoy a joyous life in Christ and eternity with him. Through Christ, the way of righteousness is life and there is no death. Choose Christ and live!

Have wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 '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 ...
