NEW BIRTH

He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness

that we had done, but because of His mercy, by cleansing

of the new birth and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Which He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ

our Savior.

(Titus 3.5 & 6).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

WONDERFUL

I will confess and praise You for You are

fearful and wonderful and for the awful

wonder of my birth!

Wonderful are Your works, and that my

inner self knows right well.

(Psalm 139.14).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

RAISED UP

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 … Continue Reading

FOR THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY

In Him we were also chosen,

having been predestined

according to the plan of Him

Who works out everything

in conformity with the purpose

of His will, in order that we, who

were the first to hope in Christ,

might be for the praise of His glory.

(Ephesians 1.11 & 12).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

CREDITED

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!

IN FACT

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!

POWER

Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth.

Sing forth the honor and glory of His name;

make His praise glorious!

Say to God, How awesome and fearfully

glorious are Your works! Through the

greatness of Your power shall Your

enemies submit themselves to You.

All the earth shall bow down to You and

sing praises to You. They shall praise Your

name in song. Selah (pause and calmly think

of that)!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

O GIVE THANKS

O GIVE THANKS

O Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His

mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has

delivered from the hand of the adversary,

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east

and from the west, from the north and from the sea

in the south.

Some wondered in the wilderness in a solitary desert

track, they found no city for habitation.

Hungry and thirsty, they fainted, their lives were near

to being extinguished.

then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He

delivered them out of their distresses.

He led them forth by the straight … Continue Reading
