God Always Remembers

'Dear friends, we are saying this to you, but we really expect better things from you that will lead to your salvation. God is fair; he will not forget the work you did and the love you showed for him by helping his people. And he will remember that you are still helping them.  We want each of you to go on with the same hard work all your lives so you will surely get what you hope for.  We do not want you to become lazy. Be like those who through faith and patience will receive what God has promised.' Hebrews 6:9-12 (NCV)


 So, here it is, a hope for eternal life with a promise. We want that you get what you hope for, and even better things, so show God's love by helping his people. He will not forget the work that you did. He is fair and will always remember the love that you showed for him. God always remembers, it is part of His nature. In His remembering your acts of grace you can rest assured that He will make sure that you will be rewarded with even more of it.

 Grace, grace, God's grace. For my desire to do His will is followed by the increase of knowledge of the doctrines of grace. My works of charity are the real test of the final judgment. And I know that it is not by works that I am saved, but by His grace alone.  Salvation is of the Lord. My works therefore are merely the fruit not to cause my salvation but to follow after it. Flawed and imperfect as they are, God still remembers them because of His grace and not their merit. God is righteous to remember them, not as a debt of justice but as a good work of faith. Faith works through Love. My love to God is an effect of His love for me.  

 I love Him because He loved me first. The works of love that I do for the Glory of Christ and that I do to the saints in His name are the very things that show me to be in the state of salvation and which will end in my eternal salvation. Eternity in the Kingdom with the King. Hallelujah! So with a little faith and patience and a lot of God's grace I can know that God loves me and that He chooses to forget my sins while remembering all the good works that I do in His name, I have the promise for even better things will I do and that He will see me through to the end where I will receive my eternal reward, thanks be to Jesus!

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...
