Oh, how great is Your goodness,
which You have laid up for those
who fear, revere and worship You,
goodness which You have wrought
for those who trust and take refuge
in You before the sons of men!
(Psalm 31.19).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God
and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as
precious as ours:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through
the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
His divine power has given us everything we need
for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him
Who called us by His own glory and goodness.
Through these He has given His very great and
precious promises, so that through them you
may participate in the divine nature and escape
the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
(II.Peter 1.1-4).

And God Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating
will also provide and multiply your resources for sowing and
increase the fruits of your righteousness (which manifests
itself in active goodness, kindness and charity).
(II. Corinthians 9.10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
God is not unrighteous to forget and overlook your work
and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake
in ministering to the needs of the saints, as you still do.
But we do desire for each of you to show the same diligence
and sincerity in realizing and enjoying the full assurance
and development of your hope until the end,
In order that you may not grow disinterested and become
spiritual sluggards but imitators, behaving as do those who
by faith ( by their leaning totally on God in Christ in absolute
trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness)
and by practice of patient endurance and waiting
are now inheriting the promises.
(Hebrews 6.10-12).
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE! HALLELUJAH!
“Because if you shall confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the
dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto
righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on Him
shall not be put to shame.”
Jesus, the Lord, the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Resurrection.
This is the confession. This is the condition for salvation. This is
the requirement for all men everywhere, for every age.We thus
submit to the righteousness of God, to the goodness of God.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
HALLELUJAH!
Do you not perceive that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
(Romans 2.4)
It is God’s goodness and kindness that leads you to repentance.
Not our exceptional intelligence, brilliance or insight.
Not our mystical, spiritual or religious background or standing.
Not our strong will-power, discipline, intense prayer or fasting.
Not our achievements, wisdom or energy.
It is God’s goodness and kindness alone which leads you to repentance
from dead works. This is an absolute miracle.
At one point our unrighteousness and ungodliness becomes clear to us.
We realize like Job did when he encountered God in fear and trembling
how much we need God’s imputed righteousness. The righteousness of
Jesus Christ is credited to us when we totally believe and trust Him.
We conclude that God is true and everyone has sinned and come short
of the glory of God. We realize with awe and fear and trembling how much
we need His grace. We are saved by His grace alone and the faith we obtain
is totally His gift. God’s forbearance and long-suffering lead us to repent.
With humility and endless debt of gratitude we receive His most precious gift.
There is nothing better than abiding in His Presence and basking in His love.
We continue to praise Him for His indescribable gift.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
