 '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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (Psalm 4:4). God knows everything about us, because he is God, our Creator and there is nothing that can be hidden from him. He knows the heart and the intents of the heart; Our thoughts, emotions, desires and motives, whether they be good or evil. He knows the godly from the ungodly, and have set apart those who are godly for himself, and will hear when they call unto him (verse 3). We are all called to be in a right relationship with God. Those who accept this call should have daily communion with Him through the study of His Word, prayer and supplications, allowing the Holy Spirit access in their hearts, that they might not wilfully sin against Him. We need to search our hearts daily and be silent before God as we contemplate his grace and his mercy towards us, and He will reveal Himself to us. When our enemies seek to do us harm, or people speak lies about us, simply look to Jesus and trus
