Walk With Christ

There are three important steps with your “Walk With Christ”

  • Acceptance- The action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered.
  • Repentance- The action of sincere regret or remorse
  • Obedience- Compliance with an order, law, or submission to another’s authority

 

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9-10

The first step is Acceptance, do you accept in your heart that Jesus is Lord and Savior? Do you believe he died for your sins? Do you believe he rose from the dead and conquered death? And if you believe this in your heart do you declare it with your mouth?

The world doesn’t want you to know who Jesus truly is because Jesus has defeated the world. The victory was won at the cross. Until you truly believe and understand who Jesus is and what he has done for you, he can’t be your Savior. Accept him into your heart and the truth shall set you free.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24

Why do we need Jesus as our Savior? Because we are all sinners, there is no one who hasn’t sinned against God. Jesus is the only sinless one who walked The Earth and he took our sins so that we could be justified before God.

You need to understand the seriousness of sin, as sin equals death. Your sins have dire consequences and there is only one way to be saved and receive eternal life that is thru our Lord Jesus Christ.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19

Adam was born a perfect man, he lived in paradise and had eternal life. But his disobedience cursed us all. He fell into Satans trap of sin, and sin equals death. You must understand sin doesn’t come from God, sin was created by Satan. Therefor if you continue to sin you are essentially following Satan.

But there was one man who was obedient to the will of God. He was the only begotten Son, Jesus. And he did the will of his Father, and paid the price for our sins. So if your ready to take that Walk with Christ say this prayer:

Heavenly Father, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I believe he died for my sins and defeated death 3 days later. Please forgive me for my sins, and fill me with your Holy Spirit, let your will be done in Jesus Name Amen

Stand Before The Lord

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty. Malachi 3:1

God fulfilled these prophecies when he sent John The Baptist as the messenger and his only begotten Son Jesus as our Messiah. When Jesus said he was going to rebuild the temple in 3 days they didn’t understand at the time. But it’s prophesied right here, as Jesus rose from the dead, defeating Satan and creating the new covenant that we all may be Children of God

But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap Malachi 3:2

We are all sinners and have fallen short to the Glory of God, none of us are worthy to stand before God. But only thru Jesus, who thru his atonement sacrifice, redeemed us of our sins and made us righteous before God. Without Jesus its not possible to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years. Malachi 3:3-4

Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He sits at the right hand of God and has been given all authority over Heaven and Earth. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, develop a relationship with him, otherwise on judgment day he will say “Depart from me I never knew you”

“So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the LORD Almighty. Malachi 3:5

Many still today deny Jesus as there Lord and Savior, but make no mistake about it one day everyone will meet him face to face during their trial of judgement. Question is will Jesus know you as his faithful follower or a rebellious enemy? Jesus is the Truth, Life, and Way nobody gets to the Father except thru him in Jesus Name Amen

 

Gods Mercy

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. Titus 3:3

It’s important for us to lead people to Christ and not be a road block. Some people might be living a lifestyle that is unacceptable to God, but we are not the judge. Jesus is the ultimate judge and has been granted all authority by God. It’s our job to spread the Good News of Hope and Mercy, not condemnation because we would then be condemning ourselves.

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit   Titus 3:4-5

The grace and mercy of Jesus Christ is not something we are worthy of, but he gave it to us anyway because God loves us and wants us to be his children. We can’t earn righteousness, it can only be given to us thru Jesus Christ.

Whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:6-7

God has poured out his Holy Spirit upon us, the same power that rose Jesus from the grave is living inside of us. God is with you thru his Spirit, that will guide, comfort, and empower you to do all things thru Christ.

This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. Titus 3:8

Once we receive Gods grace thru Jesus Christ, it’s important we devote ourselves to staying righteous. What does it profit to gain the whole world and lose your soul? Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and receive his amazing grace, then let God pour his Holy Spirit upon you. So you can fight the good fight in Jesus Name Amen

New Every Morning

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  Lamentations 3:22-23

Because of Jesus Christ we are not consumed, through his grace and mercy we are renewed. When Jesus said “It Is Finished” on the cross, he said Satan was finished, death was finished, because Gods love never fails.

So if you’re in a bad season, take hope in knowing tomorrow is not only a new day, but a new beginning. A beginning of grace, hope, mercy, and love that only you’re Heavenly Father could provide.

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; Lamentations 3:24-25

We live in a fast paced world, where everyone wants everything right now. But Gods timing in not our timing and we need to learn patience and obedience. Through these trials we may suffer but it will allow our faith to grow stronger in The Lord. Keep seeking God and you will find him, knock on the door and he will open.

it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it on him. Lamentations 3:26-28

The sooner we realize God is in control and not us, the less hardship we would have to endure. Unfortunately we usually learn the hard way and become a prodigal. This is why it’s important to teach our Children about our Heavenly Father and about our Savior Jesus.

So don’t end a day full of defeat and sorrow, rejoice for tomorrow is a new beginning, Gods love never fails. This is the day The Lord has made in Jesus Name Amen

 

 

Lamb of God

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

Why is Jesus referred to as The Lamb of God? To fully understand this you need to understand The Old Testament. God required a sacrificial lamb for peoples sins. But not just any lamb, but a lamb that was pure and unblemished.

Jesus is that sacrificial lamb for us all, even though he was sinless, he took our sins to the cross so we could become righteous to stand before God. When you understand this, you understand how much God truly loves you.

This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me. I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.” John 1:30-31

God sent John the Baptist here to be a messenger, to pave the way for The Lord. John prepared everyone by telling everyone to confess their sins and become baptized. John brought to light the issue of sin, that is what has separated us from God.

When people realize the seriousness of sin and confess that we are all sinners and have fallen short to the glory of God. Then you understand what Jesus has done for us and why he did it for us. Without Jesus there is no hope or salvation for humanity.

Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. John 1:32

John was one of the many witnesses who saw the Holy Spirit descend down on Jesus, this event was described in greater detail in the other gospels. Once again John has fulfilled his role as the messanger and a witness to our Messiah Jesus.

And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.” John 1:33-34

Even though Jesus walked among us, many never recognized him. The King of Kings lowered himself below the angels to save our souls. John testifies Jesus is The Son of God, as he heard God himself declare this from the Heavens. Worth is The Lamb of God in Jesus Name Amen

 

Rich Toward God

Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15

This world has made money a God and not even realized it. Think about your daily activities and motives, are they not mostly based around making money? The problem is we base our happiness and expectations of life around money instead of God.

If we just had more money then we would be happy, if we just had a new house that would fix our family problems. But this simply is not true, unless you make Jesus the center of your life you will never be satisfied or peaceful.

And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”‘ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ Luke 12:16-20

This parable shows the motives behind greed, which we are probably all guilty to some aspect. Many of us have enough to sustain ourselves but we always want more. Instead of sharing the abundance we have with the poor, we store it up so we can live like Kings and Queens.

But we need to remember everything in this world is temporary. Don’t waste your time building on the sand build your life on the rock thru Jesus Christ.

 

“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:21

I would rather be rich toward God than rich in this world. Money is only green paper, it may make you popular temporarily but it can’t save your soul. There is only who can save and that is Jesus, the Truth, Life and The Way. Don’t put your trust in Money put your Trust in The Lord In Jesus Name Amen
