ALIVE

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

What shall we say, then?

Shall we go on sinning so

that grace may increase?

By no means! We died to

sin; how can we live in it

any longer?

Or don’t you know that all

of us who were baptized into

Christ Jesus were baptized into

His death? We were therefore

buried with Him through baptism

into death in order that, just as Christ

was raised from the dead through the

glory of the Father, we too may live a

new life.

If we have been united with Him like

this in His death, we will certainly also

be united with Him in His resurrection.

For we know that our old self was crucified

with Him so that the body of sin might be

done away with, that we should no longer

be slaves to sin- because anyone who has

died has been freed from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that

we will also live with Him.

For we know that sine Christ was raised

from the dead, He cannot die again;

death no longer has mastery over Him.

The death He died, He died to sin once

for all; but the life He lives, He lives to

God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead

to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal

body so that you obey its evil desires.

Do not offer the parts of your bodies to sin,

as instruments of wickedness, but rather

offer yourselves to God, as those who have

been brought from death to life; and offer

the parts of your body as instruments of

righteousness. For sin shall not be your

master, because you are not under law,

but under grace.

(Romans 6.1-14).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

 

HIS KINGDOM

Saturday, March 3rd, 2012

Seek first of all His kingdom

and His righteousness, and

then all these things will

be given you besides.

(Matthew 6. 33).

BY FAITH

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

It was not through law that

Abraham and his offspring

received the promise that

he would be heir of the world,

but through the righteousness

that comes by faith.

(Romans 4.13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

REVEALED

Friday, January 13th, 2012

I am not ashamed of the gospel

(Best News Ever), because it is

the power of God for the salvation

of everyone who believes: first for

the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in

the gospel (Best News Ever)  a

righteousness from God is revealed,

a righteousness that is by faith from

first to last, just as it is written: “The

righteous will live by faith.”

(Romans 1.16 & 17).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

THE SON

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and

the exact representation of His being,

sustaining all things by His powerful word.

After He had provided purification for sins,

He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty

in heaven. So he became as much superior to

the angels as the name He has inherited is

superior to theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are My Son;

today I have become Your Father”?

Or again,

“I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?

And again, when God Brings His firstborn into

the world, He says,

“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”

In speaking of the angels He says,

“He makes His angels winds,

His servants flames of fire.”

But about the Son He says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for

ever and ever,

and righteousness will be the

scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and

hated wickedness;

therefore God, Your God, has

set You above Your companions

by anointing You with the oil of joy.”

(Hebrews 1.3-9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

LAW

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

It was not through law that Abraham

and his offspring received the promise

that he would be heir of the world, but

through the righteousness that comes

by faith.

(Romans 4.13).

CREDITED

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Now when a man works, his wages are not

credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.

However, to the man who does not work but

trusts God Who justifies the wicked, his faith

is credited as righteousness.

(Romans 4.4 & 5).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

BLESSEDNESS

Sunday, August 28th, 2011

David says the same thing when he speaks of the

blessedness of the man to whom God credits

righteousness  apart from works:

“Blessed are they whose transgressions

are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man whose sin

the Lord will never count against him.”

(Romans 4.6-8).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

IN FACT

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather

discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was

justified by works, he had something to boast about-

but not before God. What does the Scripture say?

“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him

as righteousness.”

(Romans 4.1-3).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH

Friday, April 15th, 2011

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.

The heavens will disappear with a roar;

the elements will be destroyed by fire, and

the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way,

what kind of people ought you to be? You ought

to live holy and godly lives as you look forward

to the day of God and speed its coming. That day

will bring about the destruction of the heavens by

fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in

keeping with His promise we are looking forward to

a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to

this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless

and at peace with Him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s

patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul

also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him.

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them

of these matters. His letters contain some things that are

hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people

distort, as they do to other Scriptures, to their own

destruction.

Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this,

be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by

the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.

But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen!

(II. Peter 3.11-18).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
