1. “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.” 2. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 3. “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” 4 “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”
Did you not heard that persons who Grace save do not need to be told that they are under solemn obligations to serve Christ? Serve God by Grace is every day of our Christian experience! It should be a day of relating to God based on His grace alone and His Grace Alone. God’s grace is unique and amazingly gracious! We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone! Hallelujah!!! Reflect on this Scripture – “For you are saved by grace through faith, and this…
Simone Weil said: “Like a gas, the soul tends to fill the entire space which is given it. A gas which contracted, leaving a vacuum, this would be contrary to the law of entropy. It is not so with the God of the Christians.…Not to exercise all the power at one’s disposal is to endure the void. This is contrary to all the laws of nature. Grace alone can do it. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter…
1. “There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.” 2. “There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.” 3. “And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.” 4 “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the…
Yes, you are a precious gem of and to God! Have you heard that a treasure is not polished without rubbing, so a man is not perfected without trials? Gemstone may be precious, but friendship is priceless. In Jesus Christ, you are a precious gem of, and to God! The Scripture says: “Having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.” (Revelation 21:11, ESV). Yes, the glory of God shall manifest…
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt said: “Fallen human beings lie in the dirt – yet they are precious stones. A diamond that lies in the dirt cannot glitter. But because it is a jewel, it cannot be spoiled by the dirt. It can be picked up and polished again and sparkle as before. Therefore, when you encounter those who are lying in the dirt, don’t think that they are rotten. It is a crime against God’s love to think of anybody as being lost…
1. “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 2. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” 3. “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. For the wages of sin is death, but the free…
Yes, even if we can not fully realise Jesus Christ because He is God, we can keep knowing Him now even more than ever. Hallelujah! Can we ever know Jesus in a similar manner He knew the Father? The great Apostle Paul said: “that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death” (Philippians 3:10, ESV). Also, listen to the Jesus conversation with the Samaritan Woman on John…
Pater Edmund said: “God has absolute lordship over all creation, because he created and sustains all things, and is their first principle and last end. He gives to all creatures their being, their nature, and their ends. He inscribes their purposes within them and moves them towards those purposes. Creatures, on the other hand, can only have a relative and limited lordship over anything. Just as God is the universal cause so God is the universal Lord, while creatures are…
1. “We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar, for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” 2. “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 3. “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit but in…
