Obedience of One

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Romans 5:19

Adam’s sin has impacted us all, because of him there is now disease, sorrow, and death. His mortality has been passed down to all of us and we bear the burden of his disobedience.

However thru the atonement sacrifice of Jesus, he saved us all.  He was without sin and washed us clean. So by Adam sin came death and by Jesus sacrifice came life.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Romans 5:20

Before Jesus fulfilled the law, God delivered the Law to Moses. Although mankind knew what to expect from God, we couldn’t control our sinful and rebellious ways. For we are all sinners and fall short to the Glory of God.

As it says in the book of Revelation, no one was worthy of opening the book of Life (Revelations 5:4) , except one, and that is our Lord Jesus Christ.

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21

We are slaves to sin, many will try to deny this, but our sins own us. Not only do they control us but they will kill us. There is only one who can break the chains and that is Jesus Christ.

Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world but save it. His mercy and grace is greater than the evils of this world. Because of the sins of Adam, you need Jesus, he is the only one who can make you worthy to stand before God. Give yourself to him today and add your name to the book of life in Jesus name Amen

Justified by Faith

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Romans 3:21-22

Jesus came to save us all, not just the Jews, not just the righteous, all of us. As Jesus said he didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfil it.  The veil is torn, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and you are redeemed.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 23-24

Who needs Jesus? We all need Jesus, every single person that walked this planet. We are all sinners and we all need to be forgiving. Some might say well I don’t believe in Gods laws therefor I’m not subject to them. Just because you don’t believe, doesn’t mean it’s doesn’t apply to you. We will all be held accountable for our actions in the end.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 27-28

We are redeemed by the deeds of the law. How? Jesus fulfilled the law and became the atonement sacrifice for your sins.  And by faith believe that Jesus is the Messiah, therefor we are justified by faith because Jesus fulfilled the law.

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31

The same law that was giving to Moses by God, is still the same law today. Jesus fulfilled that law for us. Since we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus, that doesn’t give us the right to sin freely. For thru Christ you have become renewed, a new creature, your ways should be holy and living for God in Jesus Name Amen.

Are You Ashamed?

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

Are you ashamed of Jesus? Do you declare to the world he is the Messiah? Jesus suffered and was humiliated for your sins, how can you be ashamed of your Savior?  Anyone who acknowledges Jesus before others he will acknowledge before God.

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38

Jesus is a relationship not a religion. You can’t ever expect to really know Jesus, until you made the commitment to develop the relationship, and the same goes for him. You can’t expect Jesus to know you unless you open your heart to him. Time is ticking, were only a heartbeat away.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. Psalm 119:6

When you develop that relationship with Jesus, you understand he loves you and wants you to prosper. Therefor you respect and honor Gods commandments. Because you understand those commandments are not for your harm but for your protection.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Hebrews 11:16

Abraham was unashamed to declare God even though his ancestors worshipped pagan Gods. Jehovah recognized this and was unashamed to declare Israel was his people also. Don’t be ashamed of your creator who loved you so much he sacrificed his only son.

Don’t be a closet Christian, be unashamed of Jesus and declare him to the world as your Lord and Savior. If you truly love him, you will not be ashamed to tell the world in Jesus Name Amen.

 

Spiritual Warfare

Unashamed of Jesus's avatarUnashamed of Jesus

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

There is much more to this world than meets the eye, there is a spiritual world full of good and evil which drives everything. Once you understand this, you understand how powerless and vulnerable we are on our own.

But if you walk with God he will protect you and give you wisdom to avoid the traps of Satan. Think about the problems or obstacles in your life, what is the driving force behind them? The answer is Satan, we are under attack.

(1 John 5:19) “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”

The world is under Satans control, if you don’t believe me take…

Pray without Ceasing

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. Acts 12:5

Due to Peters relentless faith in spreading the gospel, the Romans and Jews were playing on executing him. But Peter and the Church had faith in God and understood the principle, “All things are possible with God”

So what was there weapon of warfare? It was prayer, They Prayed without Ceasing, as humans our natural reaction to try and fix all our problems. But our main problem is were not giving our problems up to God.

And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. Acts 12:7

The Lord heard the Churches prayers and released Peter from prison, saving his life. A situation that seemed impossible to man, is nothing for our God.  Think about it, Peter was in a prison cell, tied up with chains, and being guarded by Roman soldiers. What possibility do you think the Church thought they had to overpower the Romans and free Peter?

If you’re in a tough situation, don’t think about all the obstacles stacked against you. Pray without Ceasing, our God is the creator of the Heavens and The Earth, he breathed life into man from dust, there is nothing impossible for him.

Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

As Paul says Pray with Ceasing and Give Thanks to God for everything.  To understand God is to develop a relationship with him thru our Lord Jesus Christ and to develop that relationship we need to Pray without Ceasing. Not just pray when we need something, talk to God. Thank him for everything you have been giving, praise him in the storm and the sunshine.

It’s like any other relationship, a marriage, a friendship, ect, you can’t build a relationship without communication. That’s why you need to “Pray without Ceasing” God wants to know you, not just in bad times but all the time in Jesus Name Amen
