Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-24

1 Corinthians 15:51 (NKJV) 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed…

Today, we will examine a mystery; a hidden truth!

As Paul penned these words to the Corinthian believers, he was sharing a divine revelation with them.

He wanted them to understand the depth and true meaning of the foundation their faith in Christ was built on, beyond the precious gift of redemption (the washing of their sins).

As the apostles grew in their own faith, God began to give them understanding in much deeper things that they shared with the other believers.

They gained this understanding not from man or human intellect, but only by the Holy Spirit.

The “hidden truth” that Paul referenced was “hidden” (withheld) in the Old Covenant. But it was now being revealed to the children of God as part of the New Covenant.

Exactly what was this mystery?

It was the resurrection of believers, just as Jesus Himself had been raised from the dead. He stated that it would happen “in the twinkling of an eye” (in an instant).

1 Corinthians 15:52 (NKJV) 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

You see, without the resurrection there would be no life after death; no hope of spending eternity in God’s presence. We would live, and then we would be laid to rest forever.

But in God’s great mercy, He made a way through Jesus!

And death has been forever defeated, not just for Jesus, but for you and me also!

No longer does death have a grip on us. It was dealt a fatal blow when Jesus arose and walked out of that grave. Death has been defeated for eternity.

Take heart brothers and sisters in Christ! These present trials are momentary and light when compared to our eternal presence with God.

Let this mystery that has been revealed to us give us incredible hope and joy as we look toward eternity where death is no longer.

Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-22

John 11:25 (NKJV) 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

This is our promise as a believer; we all will die, but we all will live because of our faith in Jesus Christ!. Amen.

Many of us have lost loved ones and we hurt from their absence. We loved them dearly. They were our everything.

If we truly take this verse to heart, it will bring us great comfort and peace and keep us going even when we don’t want to.

When we don’t understand anything at all and we just want to collapse from the heaviness of our loss, this truth gives us hope and encourages us to not give up.

Those who put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ have this knowing, that our lives don’t just end when these lungs stop breathing, our heart stops pumping, and our body fails us.

There is much more to come when we pass from this life. We haven’t seen anything yet!

Don’t stop living because we have lost someone dear. Press in to God. Let Him comfort us and keep us on the path He has for us here.

The day will come when all believers will be together, in His presence, rejoicing!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-22

1 John 1:2 (NKJV) 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us…

Eternal life was with the Father and was manifested to us through His Son Jesus Christ. Through Him we can receive it.

He is the author and finisher of our faith! Hallelujah!

He looked beyond the cruelty that He was about to endure for us on the cross and did it anyways.

He suffered for you and me and gave us the greatest opportunity, to believe and receive the gift of eternal life.

Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

He now sits at the right hand of His Father and has sent to us a Helper to guide us and lead us through these very disturbing times we live in.

Is it easy, even with our Helper at hand?

No. It’s not easy. But it is very comforting to have Someone so excellent to guide and lead us down the right road every time.

We don’t need to worry about taking the wrong steps if we follow and listen to Him.  Amen.

Our Helper, the Holy Spirit, will be there for us. And He will give us the strength we need to make it through each day and each situation we face.

Trials and tribulations will come for sure. And if we are in denial, we will get trampled and beaten down.

Know that even though we are believers, we will face hardship at times. We need our Helper. He will prepare us for the things to come and remind us of the things that will speak directly to the situation we face.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Cling to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-20

Romans 6:23 (NKJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Yesterday we talked about this same scripture. Today, let’s take a look at it a bit further.

What a beautiful gift we have been given. A deep and meaningful, long-lasting and purposeful gift.

What do we have to do to receive such a gift?

The gift itself has been purchased by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. All we have to do is believe and receive it.

God is Good!

One might say, “boy, that is more than my head can comprehend”.

Absolutely! That is why we do not accept this gift with our head, but very much from our heart.

Romans 10:9 (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

This is a heart to heart gift!

Will you confess, believe and receive the gift of eternal life today?

Dear God in Heaven,

Thank you for sending this precious gift to earth, your Son, Jesus Christ; the gift of eternal life.

I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead. Your Son, our Savior, is alive! I receive Him today with all my heart. I repent for my sins and ask for Your forgiveness, and to set me free from the clutches of death and destruction. I want to follow You.

I thank You, and I worship You today, Father, for Who You are. And I give You all of the glory. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Congratulations!

You are now a child of God. All the angels in heaven are shouting right now because of your new life with Christ, forever! Hallelujah

If you have just read this and you have become a believer because of it, please reply to this message and let us know! We want to celebrate with you!

Our prayers are with you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-1-20

Romans 6:23 (NKJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As a young adult who was not a believer, I remember very clearly hearing this scripture for the very first time.

It helped me to understand the “wages of sin” by showing me sin’s consequences; death.

40 years later, as I read this verse again this morning, my eyes were first drawn to that same thing; the wages of sin.

But God quickly pulled my eyes to the last half of the verse; the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And all I could say was “Wow”!

He reminded me of His gift to all mankind, through Jesus Christ; eternal life.

What an amazing gift indeed. There is no gift on earth or in heaven that tops this one. And oh, how I want others to receive this gift.

My heart aches for the lost, the dying and, yes, even those who do evil in our eyes, appearing to care for nobody but themselves.

I know the One who can change their hearts, remove the scales form their eyes and make them a brand-new creation in Christ.

My prayer is that they find Him and surrender their lives to Him, so they might also know this wonderful salvation offered so freely.

Please join us in praying for the nations, that the lost and dying will look up and see their Creator, and embrace Him with newfound faith and trust in Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-19

John 11:25-26 (NKJV) 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

If there’s one thing that I have learned over the last several years that gives me incredible comfort, it is this: “He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live”.

Think about that. If you believe in Him, even if you die, you will live.

Because of what God has taught me over the years, I am not only unafraid of dying, but I have a peace that transcends human understanding, knowing that when it’s my time, I will simply transition from temporal, natural life to eternal life with my God.

No, I am not writing this because I am facing something that is likely to take my life soon. I am simply reflecting on what God has taught me, and I want to pass that along to you, with the hope that it might bring someone peace in their spirit and rest for their mind.

Death has no grip or hold whatsoever on a child of God.

1 Corinthians 15:54 (NKJV) 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

So, despite most people disliking the topic of death, it’s important that we understand that it has no grip on us whatsoever.

I don’t know who this message is for today, but receive it, in the name of Jesus, and let God bring rest to your heart and mind.

Victory is His! Amen
