God’s Riches at Christ’s Expense – GRACE
GRACE = Gods Riches at Christ’s Expense — Is GRACE more than Salvation & Forgiveness of Sin? Have you ever really examined all the areas in your life where you have seen Gods GRACE? — Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. Romans 6:14 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. Eph 4:7 To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. John1:16 For of His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. Hebr 4:11 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy & find grace to help us in our time of need. 1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. — His GRACE is provided for our time of need & His gifts are to help others in their time of need! Don’t forget it is grace upon grace! Love Mel
He Guards Us Against the Evil One – Do Your Part
1 Peter 5:8 (ESV)Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Eph 6:11-12 (KJV)Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh & blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Col 2:15 (ESV)He disarmed the rulers & authorities & put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him(Jesus) 2 Thes 3:3 (ESV)The Lord is faithful. He will establish you & guard you against the evil one.— Keep the faith, even though we have trouble in this world, we can be of good cheer because He has overcome the world! Love Mel
Don’t Give Up – Keep Praying and Doing Right
Psalm 69: 13) But, I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your salvation. 14) Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters….. What problems David faced! He was scoffed at, mocked, insulted, humiliated and made the object of city wide gossip.. (Sounds like our world today)…. But David kept praying. When we are completely beaten down, we are tempted to turn away from God, give up, and quit trusting him. When our situation seems hopeless, determine that no matter how bad things become we will continue to pray…. God will hear our prayers and rescue us! When others reject us, we need God the most, Don’t turn from your most faithful friend…… Psalm 75: 7) It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall………
TYJ!!!!
