A Time to Reflect

Just to share a few of the things I have been reading and reflecting on this week. (Read with caution, this may have an affect your heart).


ETERNAL - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

John 11:25-26





ALIVE - After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive.  He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

                                                                                                                                   Acts 1:3





SALVATION – It heals, it rescues, it delivers…..

The source: Jesus Christ he is called~ Savior



The process-

His coming to earth

His death on the cross

The shedding of his blood

His resurrection from the dead

His ascension into Heaven



Salvation is a gift from God…….

A gift of his love, grace, and his mercy.






What is required of us?

Reading the scriptures

Believing in Jesus Christ

Repent of our sins





Be ready to accept the free gift of salvation …..

And in response we give our all.





Our relationship to God’s salvation is this…

---We long for it, wail for it, hope for it

& Pray for it.




Salvation ~ we must realize it is now!

We count its cost, we are clothed with it….

We rejoice and delight in it



We make it known

We proclaim it

We grow in it

Salvation = We work it out




Truth --- Come to know it

Seek it~ choose it~ buy it~ believe it~ love it~ walk in it~ live by it
~ obey it~ worship in it~ speak it.

Truth will…

Protect

Guide

Sanctify

Purify……Truth will set you Free


..…Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

John 8:31-32




EYE ~~ 1 Corinthians 2:9 Says: However as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.



Resurrection – Gives us a living hope and victory over death. There were over 500 eye witnesses who saw Jesus after he rose from the grave.




Jesus answered “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6


Happy Easter
