10/20 John 14:6
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
FINAL
This is a final statement about salvation.
No one comes to the Father except in Jesus Christ.
Our Creator has decided.
This is His choice.
We choose Him or lose.
Period.
10/19 Romans 3:22
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.
YOU
You must believe to be saved.
Each person is responsible for their choice.
Choose Jesus not self.
You cannot save yourself.
Only Jesus can save you.
10/18 1 John 1:9
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
CONFESS
Tell Jesus.
Tell Him your heart.
Ask for forgiveness from Him.
He will forgive you.
10/17 Ephesians 2:8-9
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
GIFT
Salvation is a grace gift from God.
Jesus was the price for our forgiveness.
We believe in Him.
He died for us, was resurrected from the dead and
Is seated at the right hand of God interceding for us this moment.
Jesus is the reason we have salvation.
He calls us to die to self.
To live for Him.
He is Lord.
10/16 Romans 1:17
This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
FAITH
Our faith is faith in Jesus. He died for our sin. He paid a price we could not pay for us. His life for each one of us and all of us. We were dead in our trespasses and sin and made alive in Jesus Christ by faith.
10/15 1 Peter 3:8-9
8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted and keep a humble attitude.
9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.
OTHERS
We are called to love one another. That includes enemies and the unlovable. We are doing the Lord’s work. Listen to what Jesus says and do it. That’s what a servant does.
10/14 James 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
WISDOM
Wisdom comes from God.
We don’t naturally have it.
It’s different than knowledge.
Wisdom guides us in living Godly lives.
Wisdom reminds us of our fragile nature.
Wisdom calls us to humility and sincerity.
We learn from God how much HE loves us. Wisdom outfits us to become more like Jesus.
10/13 James 2:13
There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.
REAP
We will reap what we sow.
Don’t be surprised when your actions come home to roost.
No mercy for others-No mercy for you.
Be merciful so that your heavenly Father can be merciful to you.
Do the next right thing.
10/12 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15
14 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.
15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.
DO
Christian faith is action.
It is getting involved in a helping way.
It is giving of oneself.
It is giving to others in love.
We are our brother’s and sister’s keeper.
We are charged with their best good.
Do unto others.
Jesus loves you.
10/11 Colossians 3:12-14
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
MIRROR
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
How do we stay on the right track?
Act like Jesus.
Do what He says.
Love like He loves.
Act in a way that mirrors Him in every way.
We are called to change,
To be like Jesus.
He is Lord.
