02/17          Romans 10:10-11

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 

FAITHFUL

God is faithful.  Whosoever calls upon the name of Jesus and openly declares their faith is saved and will never be disgraced.  I don’t know what life will be like after we pass but I do know that Jesus promises to be with us for eternity and the Father says we will never be disgraced as we trust Him for eternal life. 

02/16          Romans 10:5-9

5 For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. 6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” 8 In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

SAVED

Do you believe that you are saved by Jesus?  If you do Jesus declares that you will be saved.  Live in victory.  Stop letting the world get you down.  You belong to the Lord and nothing can separate you from Him. 

02/15          Romans 10:1-4

1 Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. 3 For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. 

BELIEVE

Believe in Jesus.  Quit trying to figure out your own way.  Ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you of your sin and bring you into His family.  He says that whosoever calls upon His name will be saved.  Jesus is Lord. 

02/14          Proverbs 1:33

33 But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.”

FEARLESS

How can we lead a fearless life?  Follow the Lord faithfully, get to know Him better and spend time with Him.  He wants to know us.  All kinds of things will come against us but we can prevail in prayer.  Follow the Lord.

02/13          2 Peter 1:4-7

4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.  5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. 

LOVE

We are called to love one another.  When we don’t do this we are called to change.  If I do not love then I am outside of the Lord’s plan for my life.  How do I get back on track?  How do I change?  Prayer, time with the Lord and an awareness that His power will guide you to the change that you need to make.  Don’t forget read the Word.  It is alive and there is a message there for you from the Lord Jesus.

02/12          Romans 8:37-39

37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

NOTHING

Remember, nothing can separate you from Christ.  Nothing.  Not your sin, not your foolishness, not forgetfulness, nothing can separate you from Jesus.  When you ask Him into your heart and by faith believe that Jesus has saved you you become His.  Forever. 

02/11          Romans 8:28-31

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.  30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 

STRENGTH

In Jesus you have real strength for living.  It doesn’t matter who comes against you, they cannot stop you from serving the Lord.  No more intimidation.  Jesus is able to give you the strength you need to do what you must do to live a Godly life.  Remember, the touchstone for Godliness is love for one another.  If you do not love the brethren you can’t love the Father.    

02/10          Romans 8:11-12

11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. 12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 

STOP

You have the power to stop sinning.  You do not have to follow the urges of the flesh.  You have real power from the Lord to change.  It is tough but you can do it.  It is a challenge but you are up to the challenge.  Serve the Lord with gladness and let Jesus lead you away from your sin. 

02/09 Romans 8:1-2

1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.  2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

POWER

Jesus gives you power for living.  Power to overcome any obstacle you face.  Power for eternity.  Jesus loves you. 

02/08          Philippians 4:19

19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. 

SUPPLY

Are you struggling with a great need?  Christ Jesus will supply exactly what you need.  He is able to connect with you and your need.  Jesus is able.
