APPEARED

The grace of God has appeared for the

deliverance from sin and eternal salvation

for all mankind.

It has trained us to reject all ungodliness

and worldly desires, to live temperate,

upright, spiritually whole lives in this

present world,

Awaiting and looking for the blessed hope,

even the glorious appearing of our great

God and Savior Christ Jesus,

Who gave Himself on our behalf that He

might redeem us from all iniquity and

purify for Himself a people eager and

enthusiastic about about living a life

that is good and full with beneficial

deeds.

(Titus 2.11-14).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

UNENDING RICHES

To me, though I am the very least of all the saints,

this grace was granted and graciously entrusted; to

proclaim to the Gentiles the unending riches of Christ.

(Ephesians 3.8).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

STRONG

So you, my son, be strong (strengthened inwardly)

in the grace (spiritual blessing)  that is (to be found

only) in Christ Jesus.

(II. Timothy 2.1).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

 

FIRST

I passed on to you first of all

what I also had received,

That Christ died for our sins

in accordance with the Scriptures,

That He was buried, that He arose

on the third day as the Scriptures

foretold,

And that He appeared to Peter, than

to the Twelve.

Then later He showed Himself to more

than five hundred brothers and sisters

at one time, the majority of whom are

still alive, but some have fallen asleep.

Afterward He was seen by James, then

by all the apostles,

And last of all He appeared to me also,

as to one prematurely and born dead.

For I am the least of the apostles, who

am not fit or deserving … Continue Reading

STRIP

Strip yourselves of your former nature

which characterized your previous

manner of life and becomes corrupt

through lusts and desires that spring

from delusion;

And be constantly renewed in the

spirit of your mind,

And put on the new nature created

in God’s image, in true righteousness

and holiness.

Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being

done now with it, let everyone express

the truth with his neighbor, for we are

all parts of one body and members of

one another.

When angry, do not sin; do not ever let

your fury last until the sun goes down.

Leave no room or foothold for the devil.

Let the thief steal no more, but rather let

him be industrious, making an … Continue Reading

GOD’S GIFTS

God’s gifts and call are irrevocable.

(He never withdraws them when

once given, and He does not change

His mind about those to whom He

gives His grace or to Whom He sends

His call.)

(Romans 11.29).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

GRACE AND GLORY

For the Lord is a sun and shield;

the Lord will give grace and glory.

No good thing will He withhold

from those who walk uprightly.

(Psalm 84.11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

 

 

ALIVE

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 … Continue Reading

REVEALED

So brace up your minds; be sober; set

your hope wholly and unchangeably

on the grace that is coming to you

when Jesus Christ is revealed.

(I.Peter 1.13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

APPROACH

I became a servant of this gospel (Best News Ever)

by the gift of God’s grace given me through the

working of His power. Although I am less than

the least of all God’s people, this grace was given

me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable

riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone

the administration of this mystery, which for

ages past was kept hidden in God, Who created

all things. His intent was that now, through the

church, the manifold wisdom of God should be

made known to the rulers and authorities in the

heavenly realms, according to His eternal purpose

which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our … Continue Reading
