Justification

He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification. Romans 4:25

Justification is a legal term, the definition is the act or instance of justifying something, vindication, arguments offered in a justification of their choice

One of the strongest evidences of Gods existence is the Moral Law. Whether you acknowledge God exists or not, there is a right and a wrong, a good and an evil . For example , we all know that it’s wrong or evil to murder someone. This doesn’t have to be taught to anyone, it’s a Moral Law of God

So when our life is over we will need to give an account for our actions and deeds. Your going to be either innocent or guilty of breaking the Moral Law. Your sentence is either going to be Heaven or Hell (Eternal Life or Separation from God) If most of us are being honest and truly examine our life, we are all going to be guilty of breaking the Moral Law or Torah at sometime in our life

But God has a plan for humanity, he sent his only Son to take the penalty and punishment of our sins, which is death. He paid that debt for us on the cross so we can be justified before God

God accepted this atonement for our sins and raised Jesus from the dead to live forevermore. The resurrection is proof of Gods justification for us. We are justified because of the blood of Jesus Christ!

Heavenly Father, we pray that everyone comes to repentance, and accepts Gods grace through Jesus Christ Amen!

Gods Kingdom

And it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.” Isaiah 25:9

Just like the days when Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden, this will happen again with us when The New Heavens and Earth are restored, and Heaven comes down in the New Jerusalem.

Today the world is suffering, we are all suffering from sin, death, disease, and illness. However all of this will be removed when God cleanses the Earth and restores it back to paradise. Jesus Christ gives us all hope when their seems to be no hope. Because of him we can all face tomorrow and live forever!

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,  Revelation 21:3

God is coming down to Earth to dwell with us forever. Right now God may seem far away, you may feel like God doesn’t hear you or abandoned you. However God The Holy Spirit is with you right now, and eventually paradise will be restored and we will dwell with God forever.

Heavenly Father, we pray for your patience while we wait for your Kingdom to come in Jesus Name Amen!

 

Word of God

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Is the Bible just another religious book? Absolutely not, as the Apostle Paul reveals to us , the Bible is the written Word of God, given to us by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  You believe all of it, or none of it. While the Bible  moving from translation to translation, could have wording or grammar errors, the context is always the same. Gods word does not change!

 

As Christians, part of our walk with God, is to be continually learning and training the Bible. Often with learning also comes correction and reproof. Many Christians don’t like to be corrected if though it’s a Biblical principle.  Don’t become so proud that you don’t allow yourself to be teachable, as the Bible says Pride leads to destruction

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19

Jesus commanded us to MAKE disciples not just preach the gospel. In order to properly make disciples, we need to teach, train, and equip Christians the Word of God. In order for us to successfully do this, we need to be trained and taught ourselves. Make sure you are dedicating the time and resources to learn Gods word to properly teach others.

Take The Bible seriously, take Jesus commands seriously. Don’t allow your pride to be a stumbling block for people learning Gods Word. Make sure you are prepared to give an answer to anyone who m

 

Demonstrated Love

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

There are many who wrongfully accuse Christianity to be a “religion of hate”, there are some who accuse Jesus of being a “bigot” or a “racist”. These people are clearly ignorant to the Bible. Often people like to “parrot” ideas or thoughts they heard online or from other sources without truly studying and investigating the claims for themselves.

Let say your about to be executed, and your execution is justified because your broke the Law. Who do you know would take the place of your execution? Do you think any of your friends would take a bullet for you? This is exactly what Jesus did for you! He took your place on the cross, he took the punishment for your crimes, so you can be justified and freed before God

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

This is true Love, not the shallow love this world shows you. Your friends say they love you, but in reality they wouldn’t die for you. And the fact is , even if they were willing, they are not capable of taking your place anyway. Why? Because we are all sinners except Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the only one who can take our place, and he loves us enough that he did it! Why would you reject this Love from God?

Heavenly Father, we pray that everyone comes to repentance, accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, that they get baptized by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name Amen!

Boast In The Law

You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God? Romans 2:23

There are many groups out there, some even claim to follow Jesus, who boast in following the Law (Torah) however the Bible clearly tells us we are all sinners and nobody is righteous. Often times we allow our “religion” to be the means of our salvation and not Jesus Christ, who is the only one who can provide us salvation

Does that mean we should willfully sin? Absolutely No! If you are truly a Christian, you repented (turned away) from your evil ways and allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify and work in you. However for anyone to claim they are saved by follow The Law (Torah) would be blasphemy as that would mean they have never sinned. We have all fallen short (sinned) of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17

Jesus has fulfilled The Law, many have a hard time understanding or accepting this. Essentially Jesus is The Law, through only him we can be saved. Jesus reflected on the principles of The Law at the sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5) Jesus is our Law and Sabbath, all things have come through him and are accomplished through him

If you don’t understand this, you don’t truly understand Christ and what he has accomplished for all of us who call him Lord

Heavenly Father, we pray that your salvation and truth, may be made known to those who seek in Jesus Name Amen!

The Curse

Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. Isaiah 24:6

You may wonder why there are so many problems in the world, because the world is cursed. The world is living under the curse of Adam and Eve who brought sin upon humanity by following Satan and not God.

The world spends trillions of dollars looking for world peace, there will never be peace because the world is ruled by Satan. The only peace we can obtain is from the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ

Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. Genesis 3:17

Sin has entered humanity through Adam and Eve, the curse that has been put on the entire world can only be broken by the blood of Jesus Christ. This is why the teachings of Evolution are a direct attack on Christianity. Teaching children they are descendants of monkeys instead of direct images of God. If they know the truth, then they know how valuable they are and they need Jesus Christ

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

But even though we were cursed by our sins, God loves us enough to die for us! The curse has been broken by the blood of Jesus Christ! We can walk with our Father in paradise in Jesus Name Amen!
