Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-24

1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJV) 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ.

After being beaten and mocked, He finished it with being nailed to a cross.

After dying on the cross, they placed Him in a tomb. And on the 3rd day He rose!

With guards watching the tomb, the stone was rolled away, and Jesus left.

Later, Jesus met with the disciples and explained to them what had happened.

Can you imagine the look on their faces, knowing that Jesus had died on that cross, as He stood there right before their very own eyes? He was alive and speaking to them!

Luke 24:37-39 (NKJV) 37 They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost. 38 But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? 39 Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don’t have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

God loves us dearly, and He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from our sin and destruction.

We needed Jesus Christ’s precious blood to save each one of us. It was the only thing that was pure and holy; without spot or blemish.

When you feel that no one loves you, and you’re all alone, remember that the blood of Christ was shed for you. He knew you as He hung on that cross, even centuries before you were born.

He wants you to know today that He did it for you. To give you salvation and freedom from your sins; your heavy burdens and all the things that are trying to wear you down or take you out.

Cry out to Him today. Repent of your sins, and put your trust in Him, Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-13-24

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

This is one of the most profound statements in the entirety of the New Testament.

Why would I say that?

Because it is a statement that demonstrates and proves God’s love for even the vilest of sinners.

It does not matter what a person might have done; how black their past might be. God loves them.

That love was demonstrated by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross; the death that makes it possible for any human being to be forgiven and redeemed, made new in Christ.

And that love for them is what sets people free from the consequences of sin through forgiveness, upon simply asking and believing by faith that God is who He says He is, and that Jesus died for our sins.

That statement is also the proof that we have to offer those who might question whether God can really love the vilest of sinners.

We can offer our own testimonies of what God has done for us, but God’s word is the proverbial icing on the cake, proving in God’s own word His love for humanity as a whole, and the redemption available to each of us.

So, if you are ever having doubts about God’s love, or if you are having a conversation with someone who swears that God could never possibly love them, remember this verse. And offer it to those in doubt about God’s love.

It just may be what turns a heart toward God and brings them to redemption in Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-24

Job 1:12 (NKJV) 12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

We need to talk about God’s love for us.

God’s love is something that many might not grasp in its fullness. And that is very understandable since no human mind can fully grasp it.

But as we learn more of God, we gain a better understanding of Him. And that better understanding helps us grasp His love in a way that transcends what human intellect can comprehend.

Most people think of God’s love in a warm and fuzzy, mushy, emotional kind of way; soft and without discipline.

This interpretation of His love tends to make people think that His love is only kind, in the sense that that He lacks the ability or desire to chasten His children.

On the contrary, it is because of His unfathomable love for us that He must discipline us when we need it.

Now, if we look at Job, God Himself stated that Job was upright and blameless (Job 1:8).

Yet, God gave satan permission to attack Job when satan suggested that Job’s love for God was only due to the blessings that God had bestowed on him.

Despite satan’s skepticism, God in His omniscience knew Job would prevail when attacked.

So, some might question why God would approve such an attack on someone He Himself held up so highly.

Was it because He simply wanted to watch to see how Job would react?

No. We must remember that God is omniscient; He knows everything. He knew the outcome before the attacks played out.

He allowed it because of His love for Job.

That might seem counterintuitive or contradictory.

But we must understand that He wants to see every one of us grow and mature, even if it requires some hard discipline to push us in the right direction.

It is only when we face adversity, sometimes at extreme levels, that we begin to see ourselves for who we really are.

Let’s talk more about this tomorrow.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-30-24

John 1:11-12 (NKJV) 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Because of the love of God, which we discussed yesterday, we are offered the privilege of becoming a child of God.

God’s incredible love for humanity was on full display by way of the arrival of Christ on earth, and the ultimate sacrifice that He made for you and for me on the cross.

His blood that was shed offered redemption for everyone by way of complete atonement (redeeming payment) for our sins.

That perfect, holy blood paid the debt for the sins of all humanity.

Because of this, we can be grafted into the family of God (see Romans 11:17-18), becoming His children, as mentioned in John 1:11-12, above.

Many have the misconception that all people are God’s children. His word clearly shows this is not true.

We are all His creations, but we can only call ourselves His children if we have accepted His offer of redemption by recognizing our lost condition, seeking His forgiveness, turning from our sinful ways (repenting) and putting our faith in Christ as our Savior.

While this may sound like a complicated process to walk out, it is something that can happen in a matter of mere seconds.

In a matter of seconds, we can cross over from death to life.

We need to understand that this is representative of spiritual life, not natural life.

Jesus taught Nicodemus that we must be born again if we wish to inherit eternal life and enter the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 (NKJV) 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

When we are born again, we begin a new life as a child of almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth.

We should also understand that the shedding of Christ’s blood does not mean everyone will be saved. It means that all of humanity can be saved.

But many will reject that opportunity, choosing instead to continue living in their sins.

Let’s talk more about this tomorrow.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-23

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God So Loved the World.

These are undoubtedly some of the best-known words from the entirety of the word of God!

They are well-known for good reason, since they point people to the fact that God’s love was so great that He made a way for every human being who embraces Christ as their savior to have eternal life.

This runs even deeper than that, though. Understanding this can bring even more meaning to this verse.

You see, no matter how messed up the world has become,

No matter how badly we have gotten off track,

No matter what may be coming against us,

No matter the level of spiritual warfare we are mired in, making us feel like we can never possibly win,

God so loved the world.

His love is enough to overcome anything we’re facing.

That love caused Him to send His Son to die in our place, to pay the price for our sins; yours and mine alike.

Never forget or make light of this fact.

Never let the darkness overshadow this reality.

God’s love for you and me is more than any of us can ever fully comprehend.

And that same love will carry us through every storm that we face in life.

So, remember these words; God So Loved the World.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-23

Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) 3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

He has drawn us. Not with harshness, not with rudeness, not with anger, not with guilt, not with pride or arrogance.

But what does this verse say He has drawn us with?

With lovingkindness. Because He loves us with an everlasting love.

This is a love that will change us.  A love that will touch us. A love that is everlasting. A love that is fulfilling and causes us to want to obey Him more than anything else.

This Hebrew word, kindness, according to my notes, conveys the concept of covenant loyalty, love and faithfulness. Betrothal.

Many may feel this drawing. And some may have ignored it at times, thinking they had to get themselves right before they say yes.

But, that is the exact opposite of what God wants for us.

When He draws us to Himself, we must not think we need to clean up before we go to Him. However, we must submit everything at His feet, repenting and letting Him chip away those things that need to go.

He is going to draw us.

Don’t say, “wait”. Say, “yes, take all of me and let me have all of You! Let us be as one, married and loyal to each other”.

Remember His words; “With My lovingkindness I am drawing you”!  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-22

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

I often think of how much He loved this world; that for each one of us, He gave his only Son. Can we all agree together that God loved us tremendously?!

When you give up your most precious gift for those who don’t deserve it, what kind of love is this?

This is a love that is everlasting, sacrificial, free and unconditional. This is the highest form of love.

It is called Agape love! A love that, without God in us to show us, we cannot know or understand its power.

With this agape love, He took what He deeply loved, His most precious gift, Jesus Christ, and delivered Him up for us.

Romans 8:32 (NKJV) 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Love is where it all began and where it will all end. All this hate in the world will not win. All the evil that we are witnessing this day will not win.

God has already Won this battle.

His plan for victory has already occurred. And through His most precious gift to us all, His love will continue to shine bright and leave hate and evil in their rightful place; defeated!

Can we get an AMEN today, children of the Most High God? For we have already won! It’s love that wins every battle. We need to press forward in His “Agape love”.

1 Corinthians 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-22

John 4:39 (NKJV) 39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

These words caused many people to believe; “He told me all that I ever did”.

Boy, if we only could understand today how much He knows about us. If we could grasp that, many people might give their lives to Him.

This Samaritan woman was simply getting some water when she met Jesus at the well. For her it was what changed her life.

What will we be doing when we finally meet Him? And what I mean by meeting Him is, when we finally come face to face with Him and surrender our heart to Him.

The Samaritan woman wasn’t anywhere special when Jesus showed up. She wasn’t dressed in any special clothing or at any special kind of service or event.

She was simply drawing water from a well.

Jesus knows about each and every one of us.

He knows where we are right now. He knows what we do each day and night. He knows us all. He can sit beside us and tell us everything about ourselves.

Now, believe Him when He says to you today, “in spite of all that I know about you and your sin, I still love you. I died for you on that cross and I want to help you overcome the things of this world”.

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

This is a “One of a kind of love”.

We will never find it in anyone or anything else.

Jesus Christ knows all about us and still loves us. Will we love Him back? Will we believe in Him today and say, “Yes, we will repent and follow you”?

Amen. Praise be to God!
