Romans 4:3-8

Christ Jessus paid our sin debt, all of it, on the cross because it is a debt we can’t pay. We can't be sinless as He was. “ By Grace ye are saved through Faith…it is the gift of God.” New covenant, remember? We can’t work out our passage to heaven because we’re not sinless. The sacrifice was required, and the sacrifice had to be pure, without blemish, perfect. The only one who qualified was Jesus of Nazareth.
The new covenant is salvation by grace. Grace is totally a gift from God, unearned, unmerited , accepted with gratitude. Even faith in that grace is a gift from God.
“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness”. God, through Jesus and the cross, is the only path to heaven available to us. Works won’t get you there. There are going to be some admirable people, people we’ve looked up to and tried to emulate, in hell. For eternity.
So where does Work come into it? Work is what we do for God in gratitude. We're told that faith without works is dead, and we’ve turned our faces away from death. Speak boldly of God, proudly about Jesus and exercise gratitude for the grace that has been shown us. Be ye kind to others, forgiving, encouraging, comforting. God uses us to administer a loving hug, a comfortable pat on the shoulder, a kind word, a promise of Christ, and it can be a powerful witness for God.
We won’t all go on the mission field, but we all go to the grocery store and Dollar General and among our neighbors and a kind word in God’s service can be just as powerful in Mesquite, Texas, as it is in Lima, Peru.

Don’t judge that other driver who nearly sideswiped you, because you don’t know what he’s dealing with. Generosity of spirit is a work of faith. A kind word at the right moment may be all that’s needed to get a grip and hang on–for both of you. And thank God, praise Him, glorify His name, often and for everything. Stay alert, and keep checking the eastern sky. Keep looking UP, keep listening for trumpets, keep preaching and and telling of Jesus’ return, and eagerly looking for it.
He’ll be here soon.

Rev. 5 6-10

6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The Old Testament covenant with God is The Law. The Law is a stern schoolmaster, pointing at you and me and saying “You fail! You are stupid and incapable and you can’t be saved!”
The New Testament covenant involves faith in Christ Jesus and in the grace of God. Grace says “You pass that test because you believe Jesus and repent your sins. ”God doesn’t see our sins after we are saved. He sees the face of His beautiful son. Our sins are erased, they cease to exist. This is our new covenant with God. It is a vast improvement over the old covenant with the Law!

The old covenant was awash in the blood of hundreds of animals. Their blood was shed several times a day, and it got all over everything and everybody involved in the actual sacrifices. The cleanup must have been daunting, and I don’t even want to speak of
the smell !!
But then Jesus stepped up, went to the cross, and died for the sins of all men, past, present and future. And since He was perfect and sinless, He made that crimson tide unnecessary, and pointed out its uselessness. The blood of animals never saved anybody, it pointed to the true Sacrifice of the “Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world”. Of who? The world. Everybody.

The new covenant is vastly superior in every way to the old one, thanks to Grace. The writer of books like Hebrews and Galatians, etc., tell us to stay with the new covenant. Don’t turn back to the past, don’t step out of the light of Grace. Trust Jesus for everything.
“With prayer and thanksgiving make your wishes known to God.”
Praise and thanksgiving are God’s right, and it is for us to praise and thank Him several times a day. Much easier and more pleasant than sacrificing sheep and calves and goats.!
Keep your eyes on the eastern sky, and keep looking up. Keep listening for trumpets. Greet Jesus with joy and praise.
He’s coming back. SOON !

Revelations 6:1-6 Beginning of Sorrows all with one solution found in the only begotten Son of God the Father

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. (Jesus)
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Jesus)
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (More places in the world have given up on peace and are starting to rely on violence and mob rule. Not just wars but violent demonstrations.)
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. (Worlds Legal system is wounded)
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Our world economic collapse is beginning.)

It is clear that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—the first four seals—parallel Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24:4-8, which ends with the words, "All these are the beginning of sorrows."

Our Savior is letting us know that deception, violence, scarcity, and disease are only preludes to the catastrophic events of the last days. We could paraphrase His remark as, "These calamities are par for the course under man's civilization—far worse is yet to come."

Our world today has all the problems, Deception, Scarcity Disease, and violence. Just watch the evening news. And Matthew 24 tells us this is only the beginning of sorrows. But the good news is, when serious calamities happen, the saved will be raptured out of this world.

How many times do you say “That's a lie” when you watch television?
How many things are no longer available for you to purchase, visit, or enjoy?

How many new diseases, and the return of old diseases once thought controlled, have plagued the earth over the last 5 years?

How many people have lost their lives to senseless violence in the last five years?
Has violence increased in the world, in your state, in your city, in your neighborhood, in your home?

The man on the white horse is preparing His horse to ride in and conquer all the beasts of this world system and put things right again.
If that means nothing to you, go to a bible teaching church. Thank you, Lord.

Colossians 1: 15-19

15] He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16] for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for him.

17] And He is before all things and by Him all things consist.

18] And He is the head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the pre- eminence.

19] For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell;

Paul’s letter to the Colossians restated and emphasized Jesus’ place as the only begotten Son of God, preeminent, above the angels.

The Creator. There was a heresy called Gnosticism that was being spread to try to demote Jesus and deny His right to be worshiped.

In verse 15 He is proclaimed as God’s visible image, and in 16 & 17 He is called the reason everything was made. This truth is restated several times in Scripture, John’s gospel being the best remembered.

He is the head of the church, the head of the Body of our lives.” It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell.” It is undeniable, you can’t misunderstand it. All worship goes to God and His Son . Those who deny this truth should take it up with God, and good luck!
We who proclaim salvation as being available only through the Cross are justified by verses like this and we hold to this truth in the face of everyone who tries to deny it. We will continue to do so until Jesus returns.
Keep praising and glorifying God. Keep putting His Son, Christ Jesus, at the head of your life, as your leader and guide and protector.

Keep looking UP. Keep listening for trumpets. Keep preaching, and witnessing and glorifying God. Keep His commandments Tell your stories, especially your personal stories about the goodness of God in your life. Tell them to each other, and tell them to unbelievers.

He’s coming back! Soon. In the eastern sky, summoning us home

Hebrews 3:1-6
Donna Kennedy 5-29-22
3 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Now go to Deut:14-2….”thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God & the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself Above all the nations that are upon the earth.”
In our lesson today Israel was poised to occupy the Promised Land as they should have done 40 years earlier. Moses, nearing the end of his life, rehearsed the events of the exodus & retaught the law to the new congregation & emphasized the statement of Israel’s special place in the world. Move forward 2000 or 3000 years and the writer of Hebrews is doing much the same thing. The Christians of that day, like now, have a place in God’s plans. We have an important mission- to witness, preach and pray, & worship. We are set apart. We bring a special separate mission. We aren’t supposed to “blend in”. We are supposed to be loving, and forgiving but we are not supposed to tolerate sinful behavior? How do we know what to do, what to say?
Same way. That’s how the faithful have always done it.
Who are the faithful The ones who follow God's commandment. The book of Hebrews has a long list of names of the faithful, and Moses is prominent on that list. Moses was the prophet through whom God transmitted messages to the Israelites. We are the voices He uses to preach to the unbelieving world
You're not responsible if you witness someone and they don't respond. I AM responsible for an unbeliever to whom I failed to give the plan of salvation. I funked it, blew her off, and 40 years later it still haunts me. I’m ashamed. I repent. I have no excuse. I’ll have to answer for that.
We are set apart. Our job is to bear witness. Don’t fall down on the job. Witness! Speak the truth boldly Listen for the trumpets. Keep looking UP, and keep your eye on the eastern sky. Rejoice and praise God, and greet Messiah with joy.
The Messiah is coming back. Soon!

Genesis 17:1-8 KJV

Genesis 17:1-8

Abraham learns that truth only comes from God. Today men have used a man devised version of the truth that suits their needs and purpose. That is why so many people today say, “Your Truth is not my Truth.” But there is only one Truth, and it is God’s Truth.

All three major religions have used their version of the Truth in various forms so they can incorporate Abraham into their personal plan when they should be incorporating God’s plan into their life.

For Islam, they put Abraham into a chain of prophets that starts with Adam and ends in Mohamad.
For Jews, they Point to Abraham as the founding father for their unique relationship with God.
The Christians, some in name only, see Abraham as the spiritual progenitor for all true believers.
The focus of all three groups should be on the Truth that God shared with Abraham and not on the man Abraham. When you bring man up to the level of God you do a great disservice to God and risk spreading false teachings. When you rely on the source of all truth, God, and His holy word, Bible scriptures, you will always be on a stable foundation.
Because Abraham believed God, it was counted as righteousness and he received a worldly reward, father of many nations, that would have effects in the eternal world yet to come. It was a covenant from God to Abraham. It was an unbreakable bond from God to Abraham.

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Was Abraham perfect? Are any men perfect? How can we be perfect in God’s eyes?

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly.

Because Abraham listened to God and believed, he was chosen to become the father of many nations.

3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

Abraham worshiped God with complete faith that what God said was totally true and because he did this his reward was to become the father of many nations.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

Abraham was the point of Truth in the Jewish Nation where all things in relationship to God were begun. God made a promise that He keeps even today no matter if the Jewish Nation fails to keep their part of the covenant or not, God will always keep His promise.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

God declares that the Jewish Nation will be given a certain area of land that they will always have as their own and He will always be their God. If God said it, you can rely on it as the truth forever.
