“Righteousness From Faith”

 “Righteousness From Faith”


To be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.   Philippians 3:9


The Apostle Paul tells us that he not only considers those things, which he GAINED, to be a LOSS, but he considers ALL things to be a LOSS compared to knowing Jesus Christ.  Paul also tells us that OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, the RIGHTEOUSNESS that is from our own doing is like RUBBISH or TRASH  in God’s Eyes.  The Prophet Isaiah tells us that OUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS or like FILTHY RAGS. (Isa. 64:6). 


However, for the TRUE BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, we become CLOTHED or ROBED in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and it is a RIGHTEOUSNESS that is from the ALMIGHTY GOD, through JESUS CHRIST and by our FAITH in Him.  Then we can be declared RIGHTEOUS before God.  Paul wanted NOTHING to stand between him and KNOWING CHRIST JESUS, this KNOWING is NOT just KNOWING ABOUT Jesus, but it is having a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Him, it is KNOWING HIM.  When a SINNER responds to the work of God’s HOLY SPIRIT, and they put their TRUST in Christ, they become a BELIEVING SINNER, and they are CLOTHED in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ Jesus.  And they are ACCEPTED in the BELOVED (Jesus Christ), and ROBED in His RIGHTEOUSNESS then the BELIEVING SINNER stands COMPLETE in CHRIST. 


Do you have the RIGHTEOUSNESS from FAITH?  Or are you depending on your OWN righteous acts, such as, your church membership, to gain you a place in Heaven?  The ONLY WAY for you to have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to be able to ESCAPE HELL, with ALL its HORRORS is to ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE yours.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU. And that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before GOD.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be ROBED in the  RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST JESUS because of your FAITH in Him.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“The Deliverance of Sins”

 “The Deliverance of Sins”

 

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His Grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.          Ephesians 1:7-8

 

REDEMPTION is the DELIVERANCE of our TRESPASSES, (SINS).  Through the SHED BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST, God’s Son, and our REDEEMER, we were DELIVERED from our SLAVERY to SIN.  And those who have ACCEPTED this ACT of REDEMPTION, made possible by Christ, are REDEEMED and FORGIVEN.

 

JESUS CHRIST paid the price for SINS that He did not COMMIT, yet He WILLINGLY and OBEDIENTLY DELIVERED us from the POWER and PENALTY of OUR sins, and that’s not all. We will have a FUTURE REDEMPTION, when He returns and DELIVERS us from the PRESENCE of SIN.  This all is made POSSIBLE ACCORDING to the RICHES of God’s GRACE, which He LAVISHED on us with WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING of His Will.  It is NOT the WILL of God that ANYONE should perish, but that ALL would come to Him for the DELIVERANCE from their SLAVERY to SINS, and to be SET FREE and FORGIVEN of ALL their sins.  REDEMPTION:  Do you possess it?

 

If NOT, you are headed for an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY of ESCAPING, once you are there.  But you have the opportunity to CHANGE that DESTINY, NOW, by WILLINGLY TURNING AWAY FROM your sinful life-style and TURNING TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s Son. And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and the DELIVERANCE of your SINS, REDEMPTION!  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING  and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

“The Fragrance of Life”

 “The Fragrance of Life”

 

For we are to God the Aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.  To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.  And who is equal to such a task?

 

As a TRUE BELIEVER, have you ever thought of yourself as the AROMA of JESUS CHRIST?  And what exactly does that mean?  Well, the Apostle Paul tells us that the TRUE BELIEVER, is to God the AROMA of CHRIST, THE SWEET SAVOR of CHRIST is another way of putting it.  As the HOLY SPIRIT imparts the KNOWLEDGE of CHRIST in and through the life of the TRUE BELIEVER, they become this AROMA of CHRIST, because they are becoming MORE LIKE JESUS and LESS LIKE THEMSELVES.  

 

This PERFUME or AROMA means  the FRAGRANCE of LIFE to those who are being SAVED, but to the UNBELIEVER who REJECTS the SALVATION, JESUS offers, and are headed for ETERNAL CONDEMNATION, which is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there, it is the SMELL of DEATH. 

 

What an AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY it is to INTRODUCE someone to Christ, and to have them ACCEPT LIFE or to have them REJECT CHRIST, and face an ETERNAL DEATH.  Being a TRUE BELIEVER is a SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY, because the LIFE of a TRUE BELIEVER, can either lead others to HEAVEN or HELL.  When a PERSON becomes a TRUE BELIEVER, they NEED to REALIZE that their LIVES will be a WITNESS of WHO they TRULY ARE and WHAT they TRULY BELIEVE.  Do they LIVE by FAITH or by the FLESH?  Are they emitting the FRAGRANCE of LIFE?  And HOW can the TRUE BELIEVER (CHRISTIAN) measure up to such a TREMENDOUS TASK?  The Apostle Paul gives us the answer in chapter three, verse five:  “Not that we are SUFFICIENT in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our SUFFICIENCY is from GOD.”  When a TRUE BELIEVER allows the HOLY SPIRIT to USE them they will be able to emit the FRAGRANCE of LIFE properly.  

 

This does NOT mean that EVERYONE will ACCEPT, some will REJECT and to them it will be the SMELL of DEATH.  Are you one who is REJECTING God’s Gift of SALVATION?  Maybe, this post is the SMELL of DEATH, because of your REJECTION.  You have the opportunity to change that SMELL to the FRAGRANCE of LIFE, by: ADMITTING that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and become the AROMA of CHRIST to GOD, and the FRAGRANCE of LIFE to OTHERS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“The Holy Spirit, The Gift of God”

“The Holy Spirit,The Gift of God”

 

And because we are His Children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out “Abba, Father.”    Galatians 4:6

 

In the Book of Acts, chapter one, verses four and five, Jesus, the ONLY SON of God, tells His Apostles: “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the Gift He promised, as I told you before John baptized with water but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”   This Gift of God, the SPIRIT of His Son, was the way Jesus united His Followers with Himself.  

 

The INDWELLING of the Holy Spirit in the TRUE BELIEVER’S heart is the evidence of one’s position in the Family of God.  This scenario shows us that the FULL TRINITY of God is involved in the work of SALVATION.  God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to be the ONLY SACRIFICE for the REDEMPTION of mankind in order for them to be ADOPTED into His FAMILY.  And Jesus sent the HOLY SPIRIT, to be our GUIDE, COUNSELOR, COMFORTER, and ENCOURAGER.  He will CONVICT the world of its sin, and of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the COMING JUDGMENT.  The world’s sin is that it REJECTS JESUS CHRIST and  REFUSES to BELIEVE in Him.  And RIGHTEOUSNESS is AVAILABLE to the BELIEVER, because Jesus is with the FATHER, making intercession for the BELIEVER.  JUDGMENT will come because the ruler of this world, SATAN has already been JUDGED.  

 

The Holy Spirit, gives the BELIEVER the ASSURANCE of their SALVATION, and this action does NOT come from any human endeavor.  He CONFIRMS and SECURES our POSITION in CHRIST JESUS.  2 Corinthians 1:22 tells us: “And He has identified us as His Own by placing the Holy Spirit in our HEARTS as the first installment that GUARANTEES EVERYTHING He has PROMISED us.”  If you are a TRUE BELIEVER, you can REJOICE and filled with JOY UNSPEAKABLE for this WONDERFUL GIFT.  

 

However, if you are NOT a TRUE BELIEVER, and you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, then you are DESTINED for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL is HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  The ONLY WAY you can CHANGE that DESTINY, is to, FIRST, ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN to GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And you MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and His HOLY SPIRIT, and SPEND your ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“Such GREAT SALVATION!”

 “Such GREAT SALVATION!”

 

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.    1 Peter 1:10-11

 

The Old Testament Prophets prophesied about the Messiah who would SUFFER, and DIE for the SALVATION of MANKIND.  This would take place because of GOD’S GLORIOUS GRACE, and this MYSTERY, as it was to the Prophets of Old, still is a MYSTERY to MANY today. It is an ACT of GOD’S MERCY, because of HIS AMAZING GRACE.  These Prophets of Old, were very CURIOUS concerning this exhibit of GOD’S GRACE towards ALL MANKIND.  They wanted to know WHO the MESSIAH was and WHEN He would Come. They SEARCHED their prophesies trying to UNDERSTAND this ACTION of GOD’S GRACE.  

 

In verse five, Peter tells us that those, who through FAITH, are shielded by God’s POWER until the COMING of the SALVATION that is READY to be revealed in the LAST TIME. Verse eight and nine tells us that:  “Those who have NOT SEEN Christ, yet they LOVE Him; and even though they do NOT SEE HIM now, they STILL BELIEVE IN HIM are FILLED with an INEXPRESSIBLE and GLORIOUS JOY, because they are RECEIVING the GOAL of their FAITH, the SALVATION of their SOULS. And will have HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS as their ETERNAL HOME.  

 

Sadly to say, those who REJECT JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOR and LORD will NOT experience SUCH GREAT SALVATION.  Instead, they will face CONDEMNATION, and SENTENCED to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once they are there.  What is your DESTINY?  

 

In order to EXPERIENCE SUCH GREAT SALVATION, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, GOD’S ONLY SON, Jesus Christ. You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT SUCH GREAT SALVATION, and spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“The Demonstration of God’s Righteousness”

 “The Demonstration of God’s Righteousness”

 

This RIGHTEOUSNESS from God comes through FAITH in Jesus Christ to all who believe.  There is NO difference, for ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God, and are justified FREELY by His GRACE through the REDEMPTION that came by Christ Jesus.   Romans 3:22-24

 

ALL of mankind are SINNERS, and BECAUSE of their SINS they are DOOMED to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORROS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there.  There is ONLY ONE WAY to be FREE from this ETERNAL DESTINY.  And that is to be DECLARED RIGHTEOUS in God’s Sight, through the MERITS of JESUS CHRIST, God’s Son, the PERFECT SACRIFICE, who made it POSSIBLE for mankind to be FORGIVEN, and to be made RIGHTEOUS or JUSTIFIED before the HOLY GOD, the CREATOR of ALL things. 

 

This DEMONSTRATION of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, at this present time was when He sent JESUS to be a SACRIFICE of ATONEMENT, through FAITH in the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. Through Christ we have been made RIGHTEOUS.  And when Jesus died, He took ALL the SINS of ALL mankind in His OWN body, and PAID the PRICE that we owed, and that God’s Law demanded.

But He was RESURRECTED and is ALIVE, and because of this He is ABLE to SAVE ALL who will BELIEVE. You have to COME to the CROSS of CHRIST, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be made RIGHTEOUS in God’s Sight through the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST.  And RECEIVE an ETERNAL HOME in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! BE READY and DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

“Repent and Believe!”

 “Repent and Believe!”

 

The time promised by God has come at last!”  He announced.  “The Kingdom of God is near!  Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”    Mark 1:15

 

To REPENT is; the TURNING AWAY FROM something that you have put your FAITH and TRUST into.  To BELIEVE is to COMMIT yourself WHOLEHEARTEDLY to an OBJECT of FAITH.  REPENTANCE and FAITH go TOGETHER, as ONE piece.  And BELIEVING and TRUSTING are very much a part of this SAME PIECE.  

 

After John the Baptist, was arrested Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the GOOD NEWS of the Kingdom of GOD. SAYING: “The time promised by God has come at last!”  “The Kingdom of God is NEAR!”  The PROMISED TIME refers to the TIME of the MESSIAH, the PROMISED ONE, who had COME at last, and was in the PRESENCE of MANKIND.   It was a NEW AGE in God’s Dealings, with mankind.  It was the time of the arrival of the KING, JESUS, God’s Son, who is the ONLY ONE who is WORTHY to become the PERFECT SACRIFICE for the SALVATION of ALL MANKIND.  

 

The Kingdom of God was a reference to God’s SUPREME POWER or AUTHORITY, His RULE over His PERFECT PLAN of SALVATION.  And it was as NEAR as the PRESENCE of KING JESUS.  God’s RESPONSE towards mankind is exemplified through His ABUNDANT MERCY and His AMAZING GRACE, YOUR REQUIRED RESPONSE to God’s SALVATION PLAN is to REPENT and BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART.  

 

To do that, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, King Jesus.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to God and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  (REPENT) You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  And RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“No Excuse!”

 “No Excuse!”

 

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin.  Now they have NO EXCUSE for their sin.  John 15:22

 

These are the words of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Word, who came into the world as the REVELATION of GOD. And with the REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST, being REVEALED to mankind, as the SON of the LIVING GOD, the PERFECT SACRIFICE, the ONLY ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE, who is ABLE to TAKE AWAY the SINS of ALL MANKIND, and to bring them a RIGHTEOUS RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD, there are RESPONSIBILITIES that MUST be carried out.  Because of the WORDS and WORKS of JESUS, which REVEALED the WILL of God and the SINFULNESS of MANKIND. Mankind’s SINFULNESS is brought out into the LIGHT, and their GUILT is made evident.  

 

If Jesus had NOT come into the world, for the precise purpose of REDEEMING mankind, then their sins would NOT be so great.  Before Jesus Christ came, mankind might have used IGNORANCE as an EXCUSE for their sins.  But NOW, those who WILLFULLY REJECT CHRIST, and the fact that, their sins have been ILLUMINATED by the LIGHT, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, they have NO EXCUSE!  

 

Jesus fulfilled His RESPONSIBILITIES by His OBEDIENCE to His HEAVENLY FATHER, GOD.  Have YOU fulfilled your RESPONSIBILITIES by being OBEDIENT to the WOOING of HIS HOLY SPIRIT, who convicts you of your sins and brings them into the LIGHT or will you REMAIN with NO EXCUSE?  In order to be OBEDIENT to God’s Will, you MUST FIRST, ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is NOW ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  And RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do NOT be one who is with NO EXCUSE, just do the above, NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“The Word Became Flesh”

 “The Word Became Flesh”

 

The Word became flesh and took up residence among us.  We observed His Glory, the Glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.   John 1:14

 

The WRITTEN Word of God tells us that; in the BEGINNING of Creation, the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. “The Word” is a title for Jesus, who is the COMMUNICATION and the REVELATION of God.  Just as the WORDS of our mouth reveals what is in our heart and mind, the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the REVEALER of the HEART and MIND of the LIVING GOD.  Words are made up of LETTERS, and JESUS is known as the ALPHA and OMEGA, (which are the FIRST and LAST letters of the Greek alphabet) and indicates, the BEGINNING and the END. 

 

The Almighty God can be KNOWN in PART through HISTORY and NATURE, He is KNOWN in FULLNESS through His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  In these last days, God has spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed Heir of ALL things and through whom He made the universe.  He is the RADIANCE of God’s  GLORY, the EXACT EXPRESSION of God’s  NATURE and He SUSTAINS ALL THINGS by His POWERFUL WORD. (Heb. 1:2-3)

 

Jesus, the WORD, brings GRACE and TRUTH, but if mankind REJECTS Him as their SAVIOR and LORD, He will come in WRATH and JUDGMENT.  And they will face the CONDEMNATION of an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPING, once they are there.  So, NOW is the time of SALVATION.  Anyone who does not BELIEVE is ALREADY CONDEMNED, because he has NOT BELIEVED in the NAME of the ONE and ONLY SON of GOD.  (John 3:18) The LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Word who became FLESH and lived among mankind, is the ONLY HOPE to ESCAPE such a CONDEMNATION.   Have you BELIEVED and ACCEPTED the Word?

 

In order to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, and to GAIN an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, you MUST FIRST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who DIED in your place, for the FORGIVENESS of YOUR sins.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS, and be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and BELIEVE and ACCEPT His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Word, the ALPHA and OMEGA.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!

“TRUST in GOD ALONE!”

 “TRUST in GOD ALONE!”

 

Trust in Him at ALL times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him.  GOD is our REFUGE.    Psalm 62:8

 

Mankind seems to put their TRUST in people and things, MORE than they TRUST GOD.  When King David came to the REALIZATION that GOD was his REFUGE, then the CALMNESS in his heart became GREATER.  And he stopped putting his TRUST and CONFIDENCE in PEOPLE and THINGS, and put his TRUST and CONFIDENCE in GOD and GOD ALONE.

 

It is PERFECTLY OK to ASK for PRAYERS or ACCEPT HELP from others, and to USE things that will HELP us in our DAILY lives.  But the PROBLEM is when we PUT our FULL TRUST and CONFIDENCE in PEOPLE, who themselves face PROBLEMS and HEARTACHES, for they are ONLY HUMAN, and the material things are PERISHABLE.  

 

But when we TURN to GOD, realizing that HE IS ABLE, and HE IS OUR REFUGE, then we too can have a CALM HEART.  And to FULLY TRUST HIM ALWAYS, and POURING OUT our HEARTS to Him, in PRAYER, BELIEVING that HIS ALL POWERFUL and UNFAILING LOVE can bring us through any situation.  

 

When we are in God’s WAITING ROOM, it can be VERY DIFFICULT unless you put your TRUST in GOD ALONE.  When God DELAYS it is not ALWAYS a DENIAL.  But our LACK of TRUST, and our IMPATIENCE will be the devil’s opportunity to DECEIVE us and LEAD us down the road to DESTRUCTION and HEARTACHE.  DON’T LET that HAPPEN.  You can STOP HIM by:  TRUSTING in GOD ALONE!!

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you do NOT have Him as your REFUGE, and you do NOT have that TRUST and CONFIDENCE that gives CALMNESS to a TROUBLED HEART.  And you are ALREADY on the Devil’s road to DESTRUCTION, and a DOOMED DESTINY of an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to get OFF the ROAD to DESTRUCTION and a DOOMED DESTINY, is to FIRST, ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who gave HIS LIFE to SAVE YOU from your sins, and to give you an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and come to the REALIZATION that GOD is your REFUGE, and have that CALMNESS in your HEART.  And TRUST in GOD ALONE!  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
