If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9, ESV, Holy Bible)

23/10/2016

Romans 10:9-17, ESV, Holy Bible
9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. (Psalm 90:14, ESV, Holy Bible)

22/10/2016

(Psalm 90:14-18, ESV, Holy Bible)
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
    that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    and for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be shown to your servants,
    and your glorious power to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
    and establish the work of our hands upon us;
    yes, establish the work of our hands!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46, ESV, Holy Bible)

21/10/2016

Psalm 46, ESV, Holy Bible
1 God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us (Gal 3:13a, ESV, Holy Bible)

20/10/2016

Galatians 3:10-14, ESV, Holy Bible
10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”-
14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.( 2 Tim 2:22, ESV, Holy Bible)

19/10/2016

(2 Tim 2:20-22, ESV, Holy Bible)
20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.
21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
22 So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. (Lk 11:10, ESV, Holy Bible)

18/10/2016

(Luke 11:9-13, ESV, Holy Bible)
9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

You were bought with a price..

17/10/2016

When seven year old Australian boy Sabastian Kent was taken to his family barn, the boy erupted with joyful tears on seeing the pony. He had reasons to be joyful. He had sold lemonade for two years, saving every penny he could, in order to raise money to pay for his own pony. What a joyful moment it was when he saw the pony that he had purchased through his own hard work. (Source : CNN, www.cnn.com/2016/10/16/asia/australia-boy-pony-trnd/).

Thinking about it, I am reminded that You and I were bought for a price( 1 Cor 6:20b). A price so high, that was paid for in full on the cross by Lord Jesus Christ. We were redeemed not by perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot ( 1 Pet 1:18-19).

Yes, the price has already been paid, and you are freed by Jesus Christ. Imagine the joy it would bring to see you and me with him in eternity.

God Bless you !!

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. (Jer 33:3, ESV, Holy Bible)

17/10/2016

(Jeremiah 33:2-3, ESV, Holy Bible)
2 Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: 3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.. (Mt 5:12a, ESV, Holy Bible)

16/10/2016

(Matt 5:1-12, ESV, Holy Bible)
1 Seeing the crowds, he[Jesus] went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons[a] of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

I[the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I [the Lord] will counsel you with my eye upon you. (Psalm 32:8, ESV, Holy Bible)

15/10/2016

Psalm 32:1-8, ESV, Holy Bible
1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
    whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly
    offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
    they shall not reach him.
7 You are a hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from trouble;
    you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
