Meditate.
For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:20-24

Personally, I feel blessed. I feel very special. I am forgiven of my sin—past, present, and future. Jesus paid for it all. Now I am a child of God—because I believe. How about you? Do you realize that you are a sinner for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God? Do you have faith in Jesus? Do you believe that He died…and rose from the grave…for your sin? All you have to do is acknowledge and confess to God that you have sinned, ask for forgiveness for that sin, and believe that Jesus took your sin to the cross. Easy? Only if you humble yourself before God and accept His blessing—His gift of salvation. That salvation begins today with being adopted into God's family and the promise of an eternity with our loving God in a sinless society of heaven. What freedom! I believe and am blessed.
As you learn more about God—the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit—your relationship will grow. Seek Him…and you will find
Him. As David told his son, Solomon…
And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 1 Chronicles 28:9
Prayer ~ Lord God, Thank You
for the greatest gift—salvation from my sin. What a great plan! I know I am a
sinner…everyone is…but Jesus has taken away my sin…and I am forgiven. I am glad
to be part of the Kingdom of God…even today. One day we will all be together in
Heaven. It is a glorious place…and I want to go there. I want to see Your
glorious face, Jesus.
Verses of Salvation ~ For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. Titus 2:11-13
Bible Trivia Answer to the
Question: What gave Samson his strength and how did he lose it?
Samson’s strength came from the Lord. He vowed to never
cut his hair as he was dedicated to God as a Nazarite from birth. Delilah
nagged him until he told her the secret of his strength. She had his head
shaved by the Philistines while he slept. When he woke up, his strength was
gone…and he was doomed. Read Judges 16.
