May the God of peace, Who through
the blood of the eternal covenant
brought back from the dead our
Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd
of the sheep. equip you with
everything good for doing His will
and may He work in us what is
pleasing to Him, through Jesus
Christ, to Whom be glory for ever
and ever. Amen!
(Hebrews 13.20 & 21).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Since we have now been justified by His blood,
how much more shall we be saved from God’s
wrath through Him!
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were
reconciled to Him through the death of His Son,
how much more, having been reconciled, shall
we be saved by His life!
Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom
we have now received reconciliation.
(Romans 5.9-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the
will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the holy and faithful brothers and
sisters in Christ at Colosse:
Grace and peace to you from God our
Father.
We always thank God, the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
because we have heard of the love you
have for all the saints- the faith and love
that spring from the hope that is stored up
for you in heaven and that you have already
heard about in the word of truth, the gospel
(Best News Ever) that has come to you.
All over the world this gospel is bearing
fruit and growing, just as it has been doing
among you since the day you heard it and
understood God’s grace in all its truth.
You learned it from Epaphras, our dear
fellow servant, who s a faithful minister
of Christ on our behalf, and who also
told us of your love in the Spirit.
For this reason, since the day we
heard about you, we have not
stopped praying for you and asking
God to fill you with the knowledge of
His will through all spiritual wisdom
and understanding.
And we pray this in order that you may
live a life worthy of the Lord and may
please Him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power
according to His glorious might so
that you may have great endurance
and patience, and joyfully giving
thanks to the Father Who has
qualified you to share in the
inheritance of the saints in the
kingdom of light.
For He has rescued us from the
dominion of darkness and brought us
into the kingdom of the Son He loves,
in Whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
For by Him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones
or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by Him and for Him.
He is before all things, and in Him all things
hold together.
And He is the head of the body, the church;
He is the beginning and firstborn from among
the dead, so that in everything He might have
the supremacy. For God was pleased to have
all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him
to reconcile to Himself all things, whether
things on earth or things in heaven, by making
peace through His blood, shed on the cross.
(Colossians 1.1-20).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk
in the darkness, we lie and do not live by
the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in
the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son,
purifies us from all sin.
(I. John 1.6 & 7).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming- not the
realities themselves.
For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly
year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshippers
would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty
for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it
is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for Me;
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
You were not pleased.
Then I said,’Here I am- it is
written about Me in the scroll-
I have come to do Your will,
O God.’”
First He said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You
did not desire, nor were You pleased with them” (although the law required
them to be made). Then He said, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.”
He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been
made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(Hebrews 10.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
This is the One Who came by water and blood- Jesus Christ.
He did not come by water only, but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit Who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood;
and the three are in agreement. We accept man’s testimony, but
God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,
which He has given about His Son.
(I. John 5.6-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
This is the One Who came by water and blood- Jesus Christ.
He did not come by water only, but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit Who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood;
and the three are in agreement.
(I. John 5.6-8).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say
to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink His blood you have no life in you.
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has
eternal life, and I will raise him at the last day.
For My flesh is food indeed and My blood is
drink indeed.
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in
Me, and I in him.
As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the
Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
This is the bread which came down from heaven- not
as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats
this bread will live forever.”
(John 6. 53-58).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
“We pray that you may be invigorated and strengthened
with all power according to His glorious might, for the
attaining of steadfastness and patience with joy,
Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and
made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance
of the saints in the Light.
The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of
the control and the dominion of darkness and has
transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
In Whom we have our redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of our sins.”
(Colossians 1.11-14).
HALLELUJAH!
GREATEST LOVE
“I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.
Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit He cuts away
and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that
continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer
and more excellent fruit.
You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word
which I have given you (My teachings).
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. (Live in Me and I will live
in you). Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding
in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit
unless you abide in Me.
I am the Vine. You are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in
him bears much fruit. However, apart from Me ( cut off from vital
union with Me) you can do nothing.
If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a (broken-off)
branch and withers. Such branches are gathered up and thrown into
the fire, and they are burned.
I you live in Me ( abide vitally united to Me) and My words remain
in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will and
it shall be done for you.
When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and
glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers
of Mine.
I have loved you, (just) as the Father has loved Me.
Abide in My love.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love and live
on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and
live on in His love.
I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you,
and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure, complete
and overflowing.
This is My commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.
No one has greater love than to lay down (give up) his own life or his
friends.
You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command
you to do.
I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know
what his master is doing (working out).
But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to
you everything that I have heard from My Father.
You have not chosen Me, but i have chosen you and I have
appointed you that you might go and bear fruit and keep on
bearing and that your fruit may be lasting, so that whatever you
ask the Father in My Name, He may give it to you.
This is what I command you: that you love one another.”
(John 15.1-17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR YOUR ABIDING LOVE
FOR US AND FOR GRANTING US THE LOVE SO WE CAN LOVE ONE
ANOTHER! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR THE FRUIT WE BEAR!
THANK YOU FOR LAYING DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR US AND FOR
CALLING US YOUR FRIENDS!
“Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life for even an
upright man, though perhaps for a noble, lovable and generous benefactor
someone might even dare to die.
But God shows and clearly proves His (own) love for us by the fact that
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Therefore, since we are now justified by Christ’s blood, how much more,
(certain is it that) we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and
wrath of God.
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the
death of His Son, it is much more certain, now that we are reconciled,
that we shall be saved ( daily delivered from sin’s dominion)
through His (resurrection) Life.
Not only so, but we also rejoice and exultingly glory in God (in His
love and perfection) through our Lord Jesus Christ. through Whom
we have now received and enjoy our reconciliation.”
(Romans 5.7-11).
Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross of Calvary to grant us
salvation and eternal Life. He took on human misery and sin to
give us the greatest future. He helps us daily through His Presence.
He sustains, guides and comforts us through the Holy Spirit.
God demonstrates the greatest love, His perfect love for us in that
while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Now, much more
having been justified by His blood we shall be saved from sin’s dominion
and from God’s wrath. WE ARE ETERNALLY THANKFUL LORD JESUS!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE! THANK YOU FOR ETERNAL LIFE!
THANK YOU FOR OUR RECONCILIATION! WE REJOICE IN YOUR
GOODNESS AND KINDNESS! WE EXULTINGLY GLORY IN YOUR
AMAZING LOVE AND PERFECTION AS WE ENJOY OUR REDEMPTION!
HALEELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU LORD FOREVERMORE!
