Just think about this: God loved us before we loved Him (John 4:19) and had the awesome plan of salvation in His heart before He even created this physical dimension and everything in it (Titus 1:2). He took a chance on losing everything that He was and had just to get you and me into the family of God for eternity.

The awesome love of God for me is overwhelming! As God’s child, I am eternally thankful for what He has done and is doing for me!

Remember Matthew 6:31-33, “Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘what shall we eat?’ or ‘what shall we drink?’ or ‘what shall we wear?’ For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Don’t be anxious, God will not fail you. He is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will provide (Genesis 22:14)! Glory to God — all is well!

If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

1 Corinthians 3:15(NASB)

As believers, we are saved by grace through faith, and once we are part of God's family, we are to mature in the faith and to live our Christian life as unto the Lord. As believers, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are living stones being built up into a spiritual house.

Having started our Christian pilgrimage by grace through faith, we are to continue living our Christian life the same way. We do this by depending on the Lord to carry out the good works which God has prepared for each of us to do. We do this in His power and not in our own strength, or according to our own standards, or our own human merit which is done in the power of the flesh.

We are to build our life on the right foundation. We are to stand on the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the Rock of our salvation. We are to build our life with the right materials, which are the spiritual gems of wisdom and godly nuggets of truth that are found in the precious Word of God.

We are to build our life according to God's plans and purposes, which is laid out for our learning in Scripture where Christ is all in all, and not according to our own human wisdom or our own legalistic works of the flesh. And we are to 'build' with the right motive so that God alone is to be glorified, by grace through faith in Christ.

Once we are saved, we can choose to live a spiritual, godly life where we mature in the faith OR we can take the carnal, legalistic route which results in an immature Christian life.

The first example is a man who lives as unto the Lord by walking in spirit and truth, and who will receive rewards at the judgment seat of Christ. These rewards are for works that were carried out in the spirit; godly work carried out by the new-man in Christ, to the glory of God the Father.

But the second example is a man who lives according to self, resulting in fleshly works, an unspiritual, immature Christian life, and a loss of reward. This loss of rewards happens because of works that God had prepared in advance for us to carry out in His power, but which were fulfilled in the energy of the flesh.

As believers, we are all saved by grace through faith, but if we live our Christian life in our own strength and not in dependence upon the Lord Jesus, we will still be saved but we will suffer loss, for the wood, hay, and stubble that results from works of the flesh will be consumed in the fire that tests each of us. The soul of the believer will be saved, yet as through fire.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, teach me, I pray, to walk in spirit and truth and to live as a spiritual man and not as a carnal Christian. Teach me to live my life as unto You. May my self-life remain nailed to the Cross, and may my new life in Christ do only those things that are honouring to You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Is this blessing only for the circumcised, then? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.

Romans 4:9(HCSB)

The book of Romans gives a step by step logical sequence to show that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. It tells us that there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus (to those that are born again), because they are positioned in Christ, imputed with His righteousness, baptised into the Body of Christ (which is the Church) and accepted in the Beloved. And it is all by grace through faith in Him.

Paul uses the great historical figures of Abraham and David to demonstrate that it is not through righteous living or good works that we are declared righteous, but by faith in the Son of God Who died for the sin of the whole world. And it is not by being born a Jew or by being circumcised on the 8th day as the Law required that qualifies sinners to be declared righteousness, but by faith in the Son of Man Who loves us and gave Himself for us.

As a Hebrew of the Hebrews and a highly educated Pharisee who held the most advantageous Jewish pedigree, Paul took pains to emphasise that although the Jewish nation was God's chosen people, they do not hold a monopoly on God's justification and redemption. Justification and redemption is by grace through faith in Christ to Jew and Gentile alike.

To hammer this truth home, Paul reminds all those who seek to elevate the physical genealogy of Jewish people to their forefather Abraham above the rest the nations and to magnify their importance in God's redemptive programme, that they are misguided. Paul reminds them that Abraham was an uncircumcised Gentile when God called him out of the Ur of the Chaldees, and Abraham believed God and was credited with righteousness, due to his faith in God's promise.

It was by grace though faith in the coming Messiah that Abraham and David were credited with righteousness, and it is by grace through faith in the finished work of the Messiah that you and I are credited with righteousness.

Praise God that He is no respecter of persons and all He requires of you and me is to trust His Word and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Should we not seek to glorify His holy name in all we say and do, for without Him we would have remained dead in our trespasses and separated from God forever, but IN Christ we are imputed with His righteousness, by God's grace through faith in Him.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that You are no respecter of persons, and that You stooped down to save the whole world, Jew and Gentile alike, from our sins, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank You for the wonderful examples throughout Your Word, that repeatedly demonstrate that salvation is through faith in the death and Resurrection of Christ, and that I am imputed with His righteousness and indwelt by His Spirit, by grace through faith. May the new resurrection life of Christ in me glorify You, in thought, word, and deed. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

1 Peter 3:18(NASB)

The Lord Jesus Christ is the righteous One, the sinless Man that suffered and died for the sins of the whole world. He suffered and died once for all the unrighteous race of humanity so that He might bring all who believe in Him into eternal fellowship with God.

As fully Man He was required to die as a man, body, soul, and spirit, but as the sinless Son of Man Who willingly gave His life as a ransom for many, He paid the purchase price that God demanded and received the full fury of God's wrath for those three devastating hours. His blood paid the price for all sin, and His sacrifice redeemed all Who would believe on Him. But His Resurrection was the infallible proof to you and me that His sacrifice was accepted by God.

For three dark hours, the Lord Jesus was dead spiritually. For three black hours within time and eternity, the Son was separated from the Father and disconnected from the Spirit. "It is finished," was His triumphant cry and so He breathed out His life. He breathed out His spirit, which returned to God.

But for 3 days and nights, His soul descended into the place of the dead in the bowels of the earth, and for 3 days and nights His body lay shrouded in a rich man's tomb.

Christ was: "Put to death in the fleshly realm," when He shed His blood on the Cross for you and me, but He was quickened by the Holy Spirit and: "Made alive in the spiritual realm," with a body of flesh and bone so that we too might have newness of life in the spiritual realm, forever.

Prayer

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for suffering and dying for me and for the indescribable agony that You bore on the Cross when You were separated from the Father for the first time in eternity, for three dark hours. Thank You, Father, that Christ's sacrifice for sin was accepted so that by believing on Him I too might have life eternal. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

Romans 1:1(NASB)

In the first verse of the epistle to the Romans, we are introduced to the man who was called by God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to be the apostle to the Gentiles: set apart for the gospel of God. This bond-servant who was set apart from birth by God's grace, is the man who personally authored the thirteen epistles that are specifically directed towards Church-age believers today.

As a slave of Christ, Paul willingly delighted to serve the Lord and submit to Him in everything. Called by God as an apostle, Paul had been sent by the highest authority and commission with a peculiar service. Indeed, he uniquely fulfilled the singular requirement of an apostle, which was to SEE the resurrected Lord, which he did on the road to Damascus.

Paul was given a special role, by revelation from God. This consisted of preaching the good news of the gospel of grace to the Gentiles, which involved numerous missionary trips, shipwrecks and prison stays. And so, because of his unique calling by God, should we not pay particular heed to all he teaches us in all his epistles on how to live godly in Christ Jesus?

We may not have been called in the same way as Paul, but we can follow his example of love, reverence, and devotion to Christ. We can search Paul's writings so that we too may know Christ and the power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering.

We too can live our life for Christ in the place where God has planted us as we wait for His any day appearing.

We too should learn from Paul: "The servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God."

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing the mystery of the Church through Paul and opening up the light of the glorious gospel Christ to all who believe in Christ Jesus as Saviour. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN

For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

John 1:17(NASB)

When John wrote this verse, he was not intimating that there was no grace under the Law of Moses, for every sacrifice spoke of the beautiful final Sacrifice Who was to be lifted up on the Cross. Nor was he implying there was an absence of truth, for God's truth endures throughout all generations.

But only through Christ is the fullness of grace and truth realised. His grace is offered freely and without cost to whosoever will, for the grace and favour of the Lord is showered without measure on an undeserving world.

Had God dealt with mans sin on the basis of truth alone we would all perish, for by the perfect standard of the Lord, we have nothing to commend us.
Grace without truth would render God a liar, for there is no one who is good, no, not one - but truth without grace would condemn humanity to eternal separation from God.

But thanks be to God that He deals with us on the basis of grace AND truth so that whosoever believes on Christ will not perish but have everlasting life.

What glorious grace! What a wonderful truth! For grace and truth in all their fullness came through Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Loving Father, thank You for Your gracious kindness. Thank You that in Christ, all the righteous requirements of the Law that I am unable to fulfil were fulfilled on my behalf, by Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You that in Him I am saved and have all things richly to enjoy. In His name I pray, AMEN.

Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 3:16(NASB)

It is an amazing privilege as well as a huge responsibility to realise that as Christians our frail, human body is a temple of God. One result of trusting in Jesus as Saviour is to have God's Holy Spirit come and take up permanent residence within our mortal frame.

In warning the carnal Christians in Corinth that they were seeking to build up the Church by means of their own might and wisdom rather than the wisdom and strength of the Lord, Paul makes a strong appeal to these worldly believers to remember the serious truth: "You are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you."

We can live our lives in our own strength rather than abiding in the power and strength of Christ, but the house we build will be of wood, hay, and stubble, which will finally be burned up. In this case, we would be eternally saved, but would have laid up no treasure in heaven, for in me there is no good thing. Or we can choose to submit to the Holy Spirit, die to self, and live to Christ so that it is God Who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure. And out of the Refiner's fire will come gold, silver, and precious stones.

Like the Christians in Corinth, we live in a world where carnal pleasure, overindulgence, and amusement is all around us, and it is easy to be swept up in the pleasure of this world. But, as Solomon discovered, the pleasures of this world lead one to hopeless and despair in this life. But within every believer dwells the life-giving Holy Spirit, the true source of comfort, hope, and joy.

The constant indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all Church age believers, from the moment we are saved, is a blessing of such magnitude, it is hard to comprehend. Let us recognise the amazing privilege, huge responsibility, and serious truth that the Spirit of God has taken up permanent residence in our bodies and live our lives as unto the Lord.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am beginning to understand the incredible privilege and the serious consequences of having Your Spirit indwelling my body. I pray that I may live worthy of the calling to which I have been called. Help me live my life from this day forward, as unto the Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalm 23:2(KJV)

Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the sheep, the Good Shepherd Who gives His life for the sheep. He is the only Shepherd Who remains faithful unto our life's end. Jesus is my Shepherd, and He is your Shepherd too. And this has been a truth that has comforted and encouraged millions of people, both Jews and Gentiles alike, down through the ages of time.

The Lord Jesus is the one that is shepherding each one of His people today. He is caring for us and protecting us, providing for us and delivering us from the perils and dangers of this life. Jesus is the one Who calls us by name to: "Come away and rest awhile," and it is Jesus Who: "Maketh ME to lie down in green pastures."

We can rely on our Good Shepherd. We can trust our great and gracious Shepherd. We can abide in our faithful Shepherd and lie down in the green pastures to which He leads us in safety, for even when our life-journey is fraught with difficulties and hardship: "We are His people and the sheep of His pasture."

Jesus died for each one of His own and in His grace has given us peace with the Father. The peace of Jesus Christ our Lord is in our hearts. Let us not resist the rod and staff of our Saviour, but listen to His voice and trust His leading when He steps into our busy lives and calls us to turn aside and rest awhile in the green pastures to where He has brought us.

What refreshment is available to us, what deep, rejuvenating rest we can experience when we lie down in the green pastures of our Good Shepherd. And we will receive restoration to our weary souls, from our beloved Saviour Who knows what is best for us, and is lovingly waiting to give us all we need.

What a wonderful Lord. To Him be all the praise and glory.

Prayer

Father God, thank You that Jesus is my Good and faithful Shepherd. Thank You for the times that You bring me to a halt in the hustle and bustle of this frenzied life and cause me to take time to rest. May I listen to Your voice, respond to Your gracious leading, and lie down in the green pastures into which You have led me. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

When all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. As He was praying, heaven opened,

Luke 3:21(HCSB)

It was only after all the people had been baptised that finally Jesus came to the banks of the Jordan to be baptised of John, the final prophet and priest of Israel and forerunner of the Messiah. Oh, He was not being baptised with John's baptism of repentance, for the holy Lamb of God was sinless.

Jesus had come to fulfil all the righteous requirements of the Law that were demanded for the role of God's High Priest. And so, like Aaron before Him, He was to be washed with water before being anointed with oil as was befitting the role of God's Royal High Priest, after the order of Melchisedek.

Having been baptised in the Jordan, we read that the Lord Jesus was praying to His Heavenly Father, as was His custom. Christ's in*******se with the Father was a constant and continuous communion. And we read that as He was praying, the heavens opened and then the Holy Spirit descended on Him in bodily form, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven saying: "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Prayer was the open door of fellowship between God the Father and God the Son as He lived His life on earth as the sinless Son of Man. And prayer is the incredible privilege that has been bestowed upon all God's blood-bought children.

Let us seek, as He did, to live our lives in constant and continuous communion with the Father, in the power of the Spirit, for we are all one with Christ and as such are accepted as beloved children of the Father.

Prayer

Lord, teach me how to pray as Christ prayed. Teach me to live my life in constant and continuous communion with You, to Your praise and glory, AMEN.
