You access the grace of God through baptism…saved by grace...

For by grace (Jesus’s favor of dying on the cross and God raising Him from the dead) have you been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works (an action we do not deserve), that no man should glory. For we are His (God’s) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them...Ephesians 2:8-10.


(Jesus) who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works...Titus 2:14.


What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death...Romans 6:1-3?


In whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead...Colossians 2:11-12.


Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin...Romans 6:3-6.


I marvel that you are so quickly removing from Him that called you in the grace (death and resurrection) of Christ unto a different gospel; which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema (accursed)...Galatians 1:6-8.


For there is one God, one Mediator also between God and men, Himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times...1 Timothy 2:5-6.


Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, Who also makes intercession for us...Romans 8:33-34.

For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ...Galatians 3:26-27.

The Bible will keep sin out of you or sin will keep you out of the Bible...

We must develop a it is written vocabulary…

It is written…

Give diligence to present yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth...2 Timothy 2:15. To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (unfaithful)...Titus 1:15-16. Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work...2 Timothy 3:16-17.

 

Do you have a it is written vocabulary?

We must have authority for everything we do in faith. Our authority comes from the written word of God. We need a what did Jesus say or where is it written mentality. So we can think on God instructions…prescriptions…remedies and be saved. The Bible is the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth have you ever read the entire Bible? Have you at least read the new agreement call the New Testament of Christ…yes or no? Where does your truth come from a man or the inspired record called the Bible?

 

Are you well versed…

God with the Jews handed down the Ten Commandments. God’s prophets in the old agreement called the Old Testament wrote down the messages so they could be remembered and learned from in order to produce faithfulness. The New Testament of Christ is no different. It is written down to inform us of the teaching that will please God. If you do not read the bible you could easily be led into error of a false teaching or a false teacher.

 

Prayer

Father please grant us the wisdom and understanding needed to read and understand the bible especially the New Testament so we can learn what to do to please You our Creator…and may we prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you called…one of the chosen…

Are you called…one of the chosen…


And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His (God’s) purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom He foreordained, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them he also glorified...Romans 8:28-30. even as He (God) chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love: having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of His will...Ephesians 1:4-5. And if ye call on Him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear: knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain (empty) manner of life handed down from your fathers; but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ: who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake, who through Him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave Him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God...1 Peter 1:17-21.


Do you have a plan and purpose in Christ…

Are you feeling alone and isolated or are you feeling connected to Jesus because you have an obedient faith? Jesus is calling you to His side to learn of Him and to follow and practice the truth He reveals. Do you want a perfect Father named Jesus whom you can call on…then repent and be baptized listen to what is written… And Peter said unto them, Repent you, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto Him...Acts 2:38-39.


If you are called by God then you must enter the same way the first Christians entered the kingdom of God by repented or forsaking all evil and being baptized for the remission of your sins. The word remission is like when cancer goes into remission. Sin although present does not harm you and Jesus your eternal savior teaches and coaches you through life leading you with the truth as you learn and grow to His likeness. Have you repented and been baptized…yes or no? If you are called of God then this is the way you must enter the kingdom of God…Jesus said… He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned...Mark 16:16.


Prayer

Father, we renounce anything in the way of our salvation including satan and sin please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our mistakes called sin…grant unto us the grace, mercy, joy, peace, and love needed to sustain our soul’s salvation in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
