Devotional - 30th Dec 2021

 'Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you justified by the law, ye are fallen from grace'
(Galatians 5:4).

We are justified by faith in Christ, who is our Righteousness.
Some people believed they are justified by following the law. Such thinking is not acceptable to by God.
We are asked to trust in Christ rather than following the law and become slaves to it.
When we add works to faith in Christ, we are saying, we do not trust fully in Him, therefore we missed out on the grace of God.
Grace comes through a living faith in Christ, and there is no other means to salvation.
When we trust in Christ we have freedom from the bondage of sin and is no longer slaves to it.
However, when we choose to follow the law or be justified by the law, we have not attain to the law of righteousness which is in Christ.
Let us try not to make ourselves right with God by keeping the law; we will be alienated from Christ and fall from grace.
All who accept Christ is justified by receiving salvation as a free gift from God - by faith in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. This is a free gift of God's grace, given to all who will believe on Christ.
We have a choice to either accept the free gift of salvation through grace, or keeping the entire law. Choose God's free gift of grace today, it is so worth it!  Let us trust in Christ alone for our salvation, so we will not be cut off from the only way to be saved - the free gift of God's grace by faith in Jesus Christ. When we come to Christ by faith, God declares us to be righteous, as we trust in Christ alone for our salvation. Won't you trust Jesus and be saved eternally?

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 ...
