Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
A good verse to look at often to remind ourselves where our forgiveness comes from! Jesus! By His shed blood for our sins! Oh what grace He has given us! Thank you Jesus ....thank you!

James 4:7
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
The key to our walk with Jesus is total submission. When we submit to God and are doing His will the devil flees!!! When we are not submitted to doing the will of God and are doing the will of ourselves we open the door for the devil to get in!!!
Let us stay submitted to Jesus!!!!

Oh what a God we serve!! Jesus is alive and well after defeating death and sin for us!!! We have a living HOPE!!! Jesus! Praise the Lord!

James 1:22
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
As followers of Jesus we are to read the bible, learn the bible, obey the bible, and do what the bible says. Are you doing what the bible says or just listening. The bible says our faith is dead if we are not doing what the bible says...things like loving others and sharing the gospel!!!
Be a doer!!!!

2 Timothy 1:12
12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.
No matter if life is going great or difficulties are upon us we must always rest upon in Whom we believe....JESUS!!! He has done all that needs to be done to deliver us from death and sin. If we have put our faith in Him then we can rest assured that we will soon be in eternity with Him!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Give thanks for Jesus for He is the ONE in whom we believe!

1 Corinthians 1:18
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Is the message of the cross foolishness to you? Do you not believe that Jesus is the Savior of the world? According to the bible you are a fool if you believe this way!
If you believe that the cross that shed the blood of Christ for your sins and Christ is your Savior then you are wise and saved for an eternity in heaven with God!!!
What you do with the message of the cross have eternal consequences think wisely!!!
Tom
Acts 4:12
12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Only ONE name that can save a man's soul....Jesus! We need to know this for ourselves and also let others know. Jesus is the only way to be saved and spend an eternity in heaven with Him!
Thank you Jesus for saving our souls upon that old rugged cross!

The tongue has the power of life and death. - Proverbs 18:21
Today let us remember that our words have consequences. We can build someone up and give them life in their bones or we can tear somebody down and give them death in their mind. Let us be encourager of our faith and lift folks to Jesus and pray for others!!! Be kind and give loving words like our Lord Jesus did when He was on this earth!!!
You have power in your mouth.....speak life!!!

“For God is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him,
that we should come to trial together.
There is no arbiter between us,
who might lay his hand on us both.” Job 9:32–33“God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.” — Psalms 47:8
Sometimes we all need to be reminded of the verse above with all the craziness going on in the world and in our lives! God in in control and as a follower of Jesus all this is all I need to know and keep my faith in!!!
God is in control!
Tom
“Everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.” 1 John 5:1
God tells us here that a sign we are saved is that we love our brothers and sisters in Christ. Remember they are not perfect like ourselves and make mistakes but the have been forgiven by God by the blood of Jesus like us and we must forgive as we have been forgiven if wronged!
So do you have love for all your brothers and sisters in Christ???

"For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;" Job 19:25
I full heartedly agree with Job.....Jesus my Redeemer lives! He has defeated death and sin upon the cross for me so I can live for eternity with Him in heaven! Praise Jesus!!!
One day soon Jesus will stand upon this Earth as He returns and all will bow and fecognize Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!
