 '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

 '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...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...
