Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-21

Part 2

1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit…

Yesterday we discussed the fact that Jesus dying once, for all of us, eliminated the need for constant sacrifices to atone for our sins. His death covered them all, for eternity.

Today, let’s see what else we can learn from this powerful verse.

Immediately after telling us that Christ suffered (died) once for our sins, we are told that His life, which was just (pure), was given for us, the unjust (the impure).

This is much deeper than our human minds can truly grasp.

Yes, we may get the concept of it. But we will never be able to truly understand it in its deepest depths.

Our sins make us filthy before God. He cannot even look upon us because of those sins.

The prophet Isaiah said (in Isaiah 64:6) that “all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags”.

In other words, there is absolutely no righteous act that we can perform that will remove the stain of our sins. Not even a perpetually righteous lifestyle can make us clean before God.

With Christ, however, because He traded Himself (the just) for us (the unjust), we are given the opportunity to be made clean (righteous) by simply embracing Him (putting our faith in Him).

The moment we do that, we become clean in God’s sight. We are made whole and pure, with the stains of our sins washed away; gone forever.

Think about that; the just for the unjust.

Again, this is more than our minds can truly comprehend.

Let’s ponder on this for a while, and then we can talk more about it tomorrow.

Stay tuned…

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-21 – Blameless

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

Job was a man who went through some pretty difficult trials, despite living a righteous life and being called an upright man by God Himself. 

There are so many lessons we can learn from the book of Job and the things that he faced. 

In our newest video, Blameless, we teach on a couple of those things, dealing specifically with righteousness through Christ vs. living a righteous lifestyle, and how they vastly different from each other. 

We think you’ll enjoy it, so we hope you’ll give it a watch.

Enjoy your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-18

Romans 4:5 (NKJV) 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness…

Our good works do not make us righteous in God’s eyes. It doesn’t happen that way.

Some types of religious organizations may promote good works as a way to obtain righteousness. But, righteousness in God’s eyes comes through having faith and believing in who Jesus says He is, and what He did for each one of us.

When we give our life over and surrender it up to Him, that faith that we have in Him is accounted for righteousness.

This is all made possible by the blood of Christ. His shed blood washed away our sins and made it possible for God to look upon us as righteous and cleansed; spotless.

We can’t get this by our good works or good deeds. It’s by faith and faith alone.

Do we believe on Him, Jesus Christ, who justifies the ungodly? Do we trust Him as our Redeemer, Healer and Provider? If so, then our faith is accounted for righteousness!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-18

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 

Many people ask how to know if they are following God’s plan for their life. It’s one of the most common questions we get. 

There are many different things we could say about this. But for today, let’s stick with the text of this particular verse. 

It says that the steps of a good man (person) are ordered by the Lord.  So, what does that tell you? Whose steps are ordered by the Lord? Those of a good man! 

So, based on this, we know that if we want to know God’s plan for our lives, and know that we are walking on the path He has chosen for us, we need to be “good”. 

What does God mean by good? Righteous. 

God orders the steps of a righteous man (or woman). It’s important to understand that there are two forms of righteousness. 

First, we are made righteous by the blood of Jesus. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus, His blood washes us and makes us clean. We instantly become righteous, by His blood. 

Second, we live righteously by following God’s word, applying it on a personal level and walking it out daily. 

It’s the second part that helps us to “find His path” and discern what the steps are that He has ordered for us. 

As we walk this out, we ultimately begin to walk in the steps God has ordered for us. And the funny part is that it tends to happen without us even realizing it. It’s gradual, a little at a time. 

And then one day we look back and we see where God has brought us from. And we begin to see and understand that the steps we took were not ours. They were His. 

And what’s better than this? The fact that God delights in our way! 

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-16

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

We become the righteousness of God in Him.

That’s a pretty heavy statement. It embodies a lot more than the words on a page can even begin to imply. Let’s take a closer look.

First, what is righteousness? What does it mean to be righteous?

Webster’s dictionary defines it this way:

righteous: acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin

Take note of the last part of that definition, free from guilt or sin. Now that’s a big deal right there.

Neither you nor I can ever be free from guilt or sin on our own power or by our own will. It’s impossible. But, by the blood of Jesus, we are made righteous when we put our faith in Him.

It’s so very simple, yet so very complicated at the same time. And though our heads can grasp it (a little), we will never be able to fully understand or comprehend it. Despite that, though, just know that through the obedience and sacrifice of Jesus, a way was made for us to be washed clean from our sins.

How? By putting our faith in that very One, Jesus, and the gift that He offers us: Salvation.

So know that no matter who you are or what you might have done in your past, if you have put your faith and trust in Jesus and the sacrifice that He made, you have been made righteous in Him.

By the blood of Jesus, you are pure and spotless in God’s eyes!

Romans 5:19 (NKJV) 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
