I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 NIV
The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is real for me; and because of this, my life has been positively impacted! Now, my old life is no more; the life I live now, I live for Jesus Christ in that I allowed Him to live through me because He is in me now! Jesus is the Son of God who gave Himself for me out of pure love! O! I owe Him my all!!!
And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped. And Jesus said, "Who is the one who touched Me?" Jesus said, "Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me." When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."
Luke 8:43-48 NASB
The woman with the issue of blood believed that all she needed was to touch the hem of Jesus' garment and she would be healed. She went out to Jesus with this faith! Jesus Christ honoured her faith! Her faith connected her with the Power in Jesus Christ and Jesus KNEW that Power left Him. He inquired of the people as to who touched Him? Hmmm! What a Great and Mighty God. He told her that her faith had made her well. Without faith, no man can please God; but with faith, all things are possible! Do you have faith? Do I have faith? Yes o Lord! I believe!!!
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Colossians 1:16:17 KJV
All things created were created for and in Jesus Christ. No matter how great or small, Jesus Christ is in full control of all things; and all things are at His disposal! If you have a need, go to Jesus Christ; He is the Lord over all! Satan is a pretender and never gives anything without making you pay with your life eventually! But in Jesus Christ is abundant life; all you need to do is believe, trust and obey His Commandments! Amen!!!
'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.' Matthew 11:28-30 (NIVUK)
Jesus Christ is calling unto all and sundry who are afflicted because He Cares especially for you! Why don't you forsake all evil and heed His Call and come to Him for Salvation and to have all your needs met? Only in Jesus Christ can you find peace and rest for your souls! Come to Jesus now! Tomorrow may be too late!!!
(8) "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, "In what way have we robbed You?" In tithes and offerings. (9) You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. (10) Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:8-10
The Word of God says if you are in a position to offer assistance to somebody, do not fail to do what you need to do or postpone it! That is also part of giving to God which if you fail to do, it's also robbing God! People don't seem to want to understand that if you want the Windows Of Heaven to open up unto you, you have to obey God in giving; for the more you give the more you get! It is better to give than to receive!!!

FORGIVENESS OF SINS? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteDid God give mankind manifold options to have their sins forgiven?
The birth of the church of Christ was on the Day of Pentecost. What occurred on that day?
1.The apostle Peter preached Jesus, His death, His burial, and His resurrection. (Acts 2:22-35)
2. Peter stated God had made Jesus both Lord and Christ and that they were responsible for Jesus being crucified.(Acts 2:36)
3. The crowd asked Peter and the rest of the apostles what they should do. (Acts 2:37)
What was Peter's answer? Keep in mind these men had already believed that Jesus was Savior, Lord, and the Christ.
Did Peter give them this list of choices?
1. Did Peter say, "Repent and say the sinners prayer and you will have your sins forgiven and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit?"
2. Did Peter say, "You do not have to do anything thing to be saved, you were saved the very moment you believed, your sins are forgiven?"
3. Did Peter say, "Repent and be baptized because your sins have been forgiven?"
4. Did Peter say, "You were added to the body of Christ the minute you believed, however, in order to join the local church you must be baptized in water?"
5. Did Peter say, "Repent and be baptized as an example to the community?"
6. Did Peter say,"It is written that men are saved by faith only, water baptism is a good work?"
7. Did Peter say, "Water baptism is just an act of obedience, and it has nothing to do with forgiveness of your sins?"
8. Did Peter say, "The thief on cross was not baptized and he was saved; therefore you can have your sins forgiven without being baptized?"
9. Did Peter say, "You have to be baptized in order join a denominational church, however, you can get into heaven by faith only?"
10. WHAT DID PETER SAY? Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(NASB)
The apostle Peter was not offering multiple ways to have sins forgiven.
Faith: John 3:16
Repentance: Acts 2:38
Confession: Romans 10:9-10
Water Baptism: Acts 2:38
ALL ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SALVATION!
