Bible Verse of The Day – 12-28-13

(Luke 7:50 NKJV)  Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

It won’t anyone’s faith but our own that saves us.

We can not ride on the coat tails of our Pastors and get a free ride into Heaven. They can preach us a message of salvation, but it takes our faith to be saved.

The same goes for our parents, our teachers, our brothers, sisters, or our friends, etc. We can not be saved by their faith; it has to be our own personal faith in Jesus Christ.

As we call upon the name of Jesus Christ and repent from our sins, believing that He is the Son of God and that He came to save us from our sins, we shall be saved!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-8-13

(1 John 5:20 NKJV)  And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Eternal life comes from Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is that simple.

There is nothing else that can give us eternal life. There is no other way but through Jesus Christ, God’s Son. We don’t want to miss this important truth.

There are many other teachings out there that can cause confusion, but we need to get the understanding that has been given to us.

If you have been taught differently about Heaven or life after death, it needs to be compared to the Word of God to make sure it lines up with what God says is the truth. It is the truth that sets us free.

If you have never received Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, we will pray with you today a prayer of Salvation and you will have eternal life. Christ will live in you and give you understanding that you may learn Him and His way for your life.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You today at this time in my life and cry out, asking for Your forgiveness from my sinful life. I ask Jesus to come into my heart and be my Savior and help me live the life You have called me to live each day.

I ask You for Your strength, understanding and wisdom today to make the right decision. Thank you!

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

If you have received Christ as your personal Savior today, please write and let us know. We want to be praying for you and we are here if you have any questions or need help in any way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-17-13

(Matthew 18:11 NKJV)  “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost“.

We lost it! It was our doing in the garden.

That’s right… woman and man, man and woman. We messed up the plan as we disobeyed God, by eating of the fruit from the tree that was forbidden. It was not something to take lightly, that’s for sure. We were not going to have it easy after that ordeal.

Our relationship with Him was destroyed that day. But God, in all His Mercy and Goodness, sent His Son to save that which was lost. Our sinful nature was so bad; He could not be near us.  But, the love that He has for us saved us!

Thank you God, for your love for us and for Your  Son, who was willing to come and was crucified that we may be able to get back what was lost in the garden; our relationship with You!

As a young child, I always believed in God… that He was the Creator of this world. I believed that He loved me, and I believed He cared about me. But, that was not going to get me to Heaven or give me a relationship with Him.

What was going to get me to heaven was believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, and trusting in Him to live in me, to change me and make me the person He wants me to be.

Knowing about God has not saved me. Believing that God exists cannot save me. That’s not enough. What saved me and what saves us all is believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice that He made for us on the cross.

We have a personal Savior that has made it right so we can walk with God once again. Believe in Him today, if you haven’t already; make the best decision you’ll ever make.

Choose Jesus Christ as your personal Savior!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-12

(John 14:6 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

This is one of my favorite verses. It sums up the entire foundation of our salvation in a way that nobody can sensibly dispute it. Period.

Jesus is the way, He is the truth and He is the life. There is nothing found outside of Him. He offers us eternal life through simple faith.

There is no need for a 12-step program, a complicated set of rituals or anything else that man might be able to conjure up in order to make it difficult or to try to make it fit into a logical mold for our better understanding.

If anyone denies Jesus or His deity, they deny life itself. God has made it simple for us to have life in Him. Sadly, we have complicated it and made it seem difficult.

If anyone ever tries to tell you that salvation requires anything more than faith in the messiah, Jesus Christ, walk away from them and never listen to a single word they speak, because their words are not of God.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-19-11

(John 6:57-58 NKJV)  “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. {58} “This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

Living for God and partaking of Him is simply receiving the gift that He has given us, His Son Jesus Christ. We need to believe it with all our hearts, allowing Jesus to come into our lives and change us.

You see, if Christ is living in us, if we give Him full rule and reign over us, WE WILL CHANGE!

Things in us, desires and so forth that we had, will begin to change. Our language and our thoughts will change. The way we treat people and act around people will change. Our financial situation will change, etc.

It doesn’t happen overnight, but it will happen over time as we allow Jesus to move and have control over our daily routines. It’s fun, It’s exciting and full of adventure!

This world, the everyday hustle and bustle will not be here forever. And then WHAT?

(John 6:27 NIV)  Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

Are you going to live forever? Eat of the bread the Father has sent us and LIVE!!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-07-11

(John 5:39-40 NKJV) “You search the Scriptures, for in them you
think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of
Me. {40} “But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have
life.

Here Jesus is talking to the Jews. They studied the scriptures but
were not willing to come to Him that they may have LIFE. How sad is
that?

Today I want to ask you this question; do you have life in Jesus?
Not “do you know the scripture?” Because, like the Jews, it wasn’t
enough.

Let’s not just be readers of the scripture. NO! We need to know Him
in our hearts. Take time to seek Him and know Him.

The Jews of that day knew the scriptures, but understand this when
I say it, “THEY did NOT know HIM”. They had “head knowledge”, but
that was it! When it came right down to accepting Him for who He
was, they wouldn’t.

It is the Heart to Heart relationship, the everyday walking,
talking, and seeking Him in our lives that will help us to know Him.

My concern is that we are not deceived into thinking we know Him,
when really we just know of Him.

Knowing the Scriptures will not save us. Knowing who Jesus is won’t
save us.

The Bible gives us knowledge about how to be saved. We have to take
action and we must accept Jesus as our Savior by believing that He
is God’s son, and that He dies for our sins. Believing and
repenting of our sins is where the heart to heart relationship
begins.

If you have never personally accepted Jesus, but only know of Him
and what the scriptures say about Him, take time today to go to Him
and accept Him into your life as Your Lord and Savior.

Dear God,

I acknowledge that Your Word, the Holy Bible, is the truth and that
Jesus died for my sins. I understand that the only way to get to
heaven is by believing that You are who You say Your are, and that
Jesus is the Son of the Most High God. I want to receive Jesus as
my Savior. Today I take action and ask Jesus to come into my life,
change me and make me what You want me to be. I’m sorry, for the
mistakes I have made. I was living without You. Forgive me of my
past and help me to allow You to lead me, from this this day,
forward.

Today I have newness in You and I receive my Salvation. Thank you
Jesus, I love you.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray. Amen
