God’s Grace
From the fullness of God’s grace, you have received one blessings after another. Stop for a moment, friend, and ponder the astonishing gift of salvation, by grace through faith in Christ. Because it’s entirely a gift, not as a result of works, this salvation is secure. Your part is just to receive what He has accomplished for you on the cross, believing with the faith that was given you. This undeserved love and favor is yours forever. Jesus’ grace has infinite value!
Multiple blessings flow out of grace because of its extraordinary fullness. Guilt feelings melt away in the warm Light of His forgiveness. Your identity as a child of God gives your life meaning and purpose. Relationships with other people improve as you relate to them with love and forgiveness.
The best response to His bountiful grace is a heart overflowing with gratitude. Take time each day to think about and thank God for his blessings in your life. This protects your heart from weeds of ingratitude that spring up so easily. Be thankful!
Grace and Peace to You My Friends

If Jesus was hungry, would you buy Him a meal? If Jesus was thirsty, would you give Him a glass of water? Of course you would! Jesus explains that when we have compassion on “the least”, it is like we are doing it for Him. It is not more impressive to God to help important […]

“For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” (Romans 10:4-11, NASB) True faith is demonstrated in action.

Whatever is happening, take it to the Lord in prayer. — Learning From God’s Word
Philippians 3:12-4:23 ‘Christ Jesus has made me His own’(3:12). In Paul`s words, we hear an echo of Jesus` words, ‘You did not choose Me… I chose you’(John 15:16). Christ has claimed us for Himself. He has laid claim to every part of our life. We are to ‘rejoice in the Lord always’(4). We are to […]

Worshipping the Lord: Learning From The Psalms — Learning From God’s Word
In Psalm 4, there is a great message of the Gospel. By ourselves, we are sinners, turning God’s glory to shame, loving delusions and seeking false gods (Psalm 4:2). By grace, God has done something about this – ‘the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself’ (Psalm 4:3). When we pray, ‘Answer me’ (Psalm […]
