The message of the cross is
absurdity to those who are
perishing, but to us who are
being saved it is the power
of God.
( I. Corinthians 1.18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, in which
you used to live when you followed
the ways of this world and of the ruler
of the kingdom of the air, the spirit
who is at work in those who are
disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at
one time, gratifying the cravings
of our sinful nature and following
its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature
objects of wrath.
But because of His great love for us,
God, Who is rich in mercy, made us
alive with Christ even when we were
dead in transgressions- it is by grace
you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us up with Him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in
the coming ages He might show the
incomparable riches of His grace, expressed
in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith- and this is not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by
works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do.
(Ephesians 2.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
But, because of His great love for us,
God Who is rich in mercy, made us
alive in Christ even when we were
dead in transgressions- it is by grace
you have been saved.
(Ephesians 2.5).
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 by the
death of His Son, how much more, having been
reconciled, shall we be saved through 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).

For it is with your heart that you believe
and are justified, and with your mouth
that you confess and are saved.
Romans 10.10)
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The word is near you. It is in your mouth
and in your heart, that is the word of faith
we are proclaiming: That if you confess with
your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in
your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved.
(Romans 10.8 &9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
For Christ died once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, to bring you to God.
He was put to death in the body but made alive
by the Spirit, through Whom also He went and preached
to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when
God waited patiently in the days of Noah
while the ark was being built. In it only a few
people, eight in all, were saved through water,
and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you
also- not the removal of dirt from the body but the
pledge of a good conscience toward God.
It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Who has gone into heaven and is at
God’s right hand- with angels, authorities and powers
in submission to Him.
(I. Peter 3.18-22).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach
the good news to all creation.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
but whoever does not believe remains condemned.
And these signs will accompany those who believe:
In my name they will drive out demons;
they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes
with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison,
it will not hurt them at all;
they will place their hands on sick people, and they will
get well.”
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was
taken up into the heaven and He sat at the right hand
of God. Then the disciples went out and preached
everywhere, and the Lord worked with
them and confirmed His word by the signs that
accompanied it.
(Mark 16.15-20).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in triumphal
procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere
the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who
are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one
we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.
And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not
peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ
we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.
(II. Corinthians 2.14-17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
