Salvation Has Appeared to All Men

Tit_2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men

Jesus said this--

Joh 17:20  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word

Truly Salvation is offered to EVERY ONE, to ALL MEN.

Jesus didn't just come to offer salvation to the Apostles and disciples that lived when He lived.  Jesus knew there would be MANY who would believe on Him through the word they spoke of Him.  We are among those who believe through the word given to God's holy men who wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

2Pe_1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost

The grace of God BRINGS salvation, and it appears to ALL men.

We have to fully comprehend this truth.  The GRACE of GOD BRINGS SALVATION.  Not the works of man bring salvation, but the grace of God.

Please, God help us to fully understand that YOUR grace and YOUR grace alone brings us salvation.

Bless us, Lord, bless us in YOU, with YOUR grace!

He by the grace of God should taste death for every man

Jesus- LOWER THAN THE ANGELS????

Heb_2:9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (KJV)

A closer translation reads (who FOR A LITTLE WHILE was made lower than the angels.)

Heb 2:9  What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels. Because of God's wonderful kindness, Jesus died for everyone. And now that Jesus has suffered and died, he is crowned with glory and honor!  (Contemporary English Version)

Why was Jesus for a little while made lower than the angels? Because He became HUMAN and humans were made the same way…  for  a while made lower than the angels.

Heb 2:7  You made us lower than the angels for a while. Yet you have crowned us with glory and honor.  (Contemporary English Version)

We CANNOT ignore the 'for a while' aspect to these verses.  We were NOT created to be forever lower than the angels.

When we were created it was with the intention of us evolving, not remaining stagnant. We were 'created for a while- LOWER than the angels' which implies that it was something that would only exist for a period of time, but not forever. For awhile we were to be lower than the angels and we can comprehend this, can't we?  Human beings, unlike angels are not spirit form that can take on the appearance of flesh. We are flesh and spirit beings without the ability to divest ourselves of our flesh. We were NOT created to be angels. We are unique beings made in the LIKENESS of our CREATOR, in our CREATOR'S image. The angels were NOT created in their Creator's image.

Our Creator, our Savior was MADE human so He could live as we live and die like we die, but all without sin!

By the GRACE of God our Savior tasted death for every single human being!  If our Savior had not taken on our human flesh and been made lower than the angels, He could not have died.

I saw a movie recently and in the movie they showed a Roman soldier searching for the truth about Jesus, that a drug could mimic death for three days and those people tried to prove to the Roman solider that Jesus' death and subsequent resurrection was nothing more then trickery.  The Roman solider investigated further and talked with the guards present when Jesus died and he talked with the one who actually thrust the spear into the Savior's side and testified that he made sure that Jesus was truly dead. There was NO way that the Savior was alive when He was put into the tomb.

Our Savior rose from the dead in His flesh, and His flesh was transformed-  remember this--

Joh_20:17  Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father…

And then this…

Joh_20:27  Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

Our Savior was raised from the dead and He was no longer a little lower than the angels- why? Did He become simple spirit without flesh? NO! He retained His flesh, and His flesh was changed to incorruptible flesh. No longer was He simply human and subject to death. He could never die again!

This is the same plan for humans to one day obtain an at oneness with our God through the GRACE of our Savior, just as our Savior by God's grace overcame DEATH.

What a miracle! What amazing things we need to comprehend. Our Savior by God's grace tasted death.  

We don't truly realize that the same GRACE that is given to us for life, was given to our Savior to be able to die for us!

Heb_2:9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (KJV)

Grace! AMAZING, WONDROUS, MIRACULOUS GRACE!

How truly blessed we are!

All glory, honor, and praise unto our GOD, always!

Help in time of need

Heb_4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need

The throne of grace.

Heb 8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens

Heb 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The THRONE of GOD.

When we envision the throne of God, the throne of Grace in heaven we can picture a literal throne, can't we? We've all seen movies or pictures of kings and queens sitting on their earthly thrones,  so we can clearly picture what a throne looks like. We take this image in our minds and transfer it to heavenly thrones. However we have to stop for a moment and remember, the heavenly and earthly sanctuaries are similar. The earthly was formed from the pattern shown.

Heb 8:5  Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

And we know this…

Exo_25:22  And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

God met with mankind from above the mercy seat.

Mercy seat- throne of grace.

We are to go BOLDLY to the throne! We are to go BOLDLY- confidently- before our SAVIOR. Our Savior WANTS us to come with HOPE in us, a solid hope. We can ONLY find grace before HIM upon His throne!

We can only find MERCY there! But we must COME before Him!

Heb_4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need

Help in time of need.

We have a need to be SAVED.
We have a need to be FORGIVEN.
Why else would we go near the throne of grace if we aren't seeking grace, seeking pardon, seeking to be forgiven for our sins?

We have help in time of need.

We can't forget we are in constant need of grace! Daily we must seek Him while we can find Him!

Act 17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Act 17:29  Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
Act 17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Act 17:31  Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

And our Savior tells us--

Mat 11:28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

WE must constantly bow before the throne of grace, it is ONLY there we can find the help we need in ALL things!

Christ FIRST in all things!

We are constantly desiring help, we plead for help as well we should, and our SAVIOR hears us!

Please LORD, help us as we bow before YOU, before Your throne of grace seeking You, Your love, Your mercy!

Please.

His Being Sinless Saves Us

Heb_12:15  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled

We've discussed this before, but with all things spiritual they need discussing over and over because they are our life, our future eternity.

We can FAIL of the grace of God.
The grace of God is NOT forced upon anyone.
God HAS made His grace available, but will NOT coerce a single person into accepting His grace. Not a single trace of force will be used on anyone to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

There are a lot of religions which advocate force. In fact, in the Old Testament we can read of vengeance of God against those who turn from His and follow other gods. We know that in the New Testament the 'wrath of God' is a very real thing that will be poured out upon all the ungodly, all those who do not choose God.  They aren't being FORCED to accept God's salvation, even in the Old Testament they are not forced. It's a choice you make and consequences you face as a result.

Sin cannot be allowed to survive.

Those who choose to refuse the grace of God are in essence desiring sin to live on.   It's true.

God is love.

When you refuse the grace of God, you refuse love and all it means.

Believe otherwise at your own risk.

We can fail of the grace of God.  It's offered to all, but the very bottom line is not ALL will accept it- not TRUTHFULLY.  What I mean by that is many make a pretense of accepting God's grace, some even to the point of believing in their own pretenses, but very few truly accept the grace that is offered.  Very few accept the truth of the submission that is necessary in obtaining God's grace.  Very few believe they can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to earn salvation.

It's true.

Others believe that they can't do anything, and so they live their lives as if all they do has very little consequence. Where Paul asks if we should sin because we are no longer under the law, and the answer is …

Rom_6:15  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

GOD FORBID!

Our Savior told those He healed to 'Go and sin no more.'  Why would He say those words if sinning didn't matter?

Sin will ALWAYS separate us from God and when we willfully sin we are willfully separating ourselves from God. To willfully separate ourselves from God is truly something we can say these words to- 'God forbid.'

We sin not willfully enough, we can't choose to separate ourselves from God and think it's is perfectly fine because we have grace.

Our Savior HAS grace to give us because He was SINLESS!

And it's HIS SINLESSNESS that saves us THROUGH HIS GRACE.  He never CONDONED sin, never!  He showed compassion for the one caught in sin and healed them, telling them to stop sinning.

We have to constantly go to our SAVIOR seeking forgiveness for our sinning, but we cannot laugh in the face of God and sin happily, believing sin is something good. SIN SEPARATES us from GOD. As we happily sin we are happily separating ourselves from God. How contrary is that to our desire to be one with God?

We can fail of the grace of God.

God forbid we do that!

Please LORD, help us truly accept YOUR grace knowing this--

Eph_2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God

The gift of grace, is the gift of God.

Bless us sweet Savior! Bless us, keep us, save us!

Let us have grace

Heb_12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear

We receive a kingdom that cannot be moved.
Let us have grace.
Grace so we can serve God acceptably.
Serving God with reverence and godly fear.

A kingdom that cannot be moved- what kingdom?

Jesus preached this-  Mat_4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The kingdom of heaven was at hand.
The kingdom of heaven cannot be moved.

Can kingdoms be moved?  Earthly kingdoms are moved and in the past were moved all the time through wars and such. The borders of earthly kingdoms change all the time, but the heavenly kingdom does not change. Our Savior does not change.

Heb_13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

A kingdom that cannot be moved- we RECEIVE that kingdom. A kingdom so sure, so true, so real- is it any wonder we are to have GRACE, it's with GRACE we are accepted into the kingdom of heaven.  We can only serve God acceptably - with grace. We can only serve God with reverence and godly fear - with grace.

Because of this promised kingdom we MUST have grace, and in having grace we SERVE GOD acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

Let us have grace.

2Pe 3:18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen

We are discussing progressing in grace- growing in grace, and this verse that tells us 'let us have grace' is the same grace we are to GROW IN.

Whenever we get it in our heads that we do not need grace first and foremost we have to remember it truly is the ONLY way we can serve God acceptably.

Grace.

Our Savior alone offers us grace- salvation that is UNMERITED by us, salvation we CANNOT manufacture ourselves!

If we try to serve God with any of ourselves, we serve God in vain. We must serve God through our Savior.  It is Christ who taught us to pray- OUR FATHER- His Father, Your Father, My Father- OUR FATHER. We must FOREVER pray this way, we must FOREVER live this way, knowing that it is THROUGH CHRIST that we can even come before God. How arrogant of us to ever believe we of our own accord have the right to come to the FATHER. We only serve Him acceptably through the grace of our Savior!  We CAN'T FORGET THIS!  The comprehension that we are in the presence of God through Christ is something amazing, something we can't forget.

Please, LORD, keep us in YOU, in YOUR grace as we seek to serve God acceptably!  Please!

All in CHRIST, always!

Imperfect Children of God

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Our Savior- full of GRACE and TRUTH.

Throughout our lives we come face to face with circumstances that will define us in minute ways. How exactly do we become what we are?  It isn't all about being a product of our environments because some seem to rise above their adverse upbringings while others succumb to them, even going on to promote the adversity in the next generation.

When we are born, we are truly unique beings already established with various traits that slowly make themselves known. An infant with a quick temper?  Don't all infants have quick tempers? No, frankly, they do not. Mischiviousness, stubborness, silliness, kindness, these traits can be readily seen in babies.  It is so easy to see how individual we are from birth once you have a child of your own. Otherwise it is easy to stand on the outside and contemplate why the parents are letting their babies have bad tempers, or be stubborn.  It truly isn't a matter of 'letting' a child have their own personalities replete with good tendencies as well as not so good tendencies, they are given them by birth, formed in the womb truly with their personalities as individual as their appearance. Parents can shape personalities, meaning they can comprehend the child has their own quirks and if they are undesirable quirks it's in the child's best interest to try and find ways to guide that quirk so it doesn't become a detriment to them as they are maturing. Quirk guiding however is just that, it's learning to channel the quirky behavior in ways that help offset the quirk. Truly, people cannot, without destroying most that is good within a child, absolutely change a bad tendency, they cannot, I should say, get rid of that tendency.  There are parents that harm their children until that child learns to bury the part of themselves that is detrimental to them. Burying a trait because the trait causes you to be abused, doesn't automatically form a 'better' child. The outside of the child may appear to have been corrected, but the inside can be damaged in ways far more awful than the trait they were born with ever could be. No, I'm not talking about discipline and correction being wrong, but abuse is definitely wrong.

What does all this have to do with the Bible verse above?

Our Savior was born full of grace and truth, and our Savior offers us grace and truth when we are born again in Him.

We are all products of our upbringings. We are all born into imperfect worlds that from the start seem to poke at us, teasing us into letting out all the defects of our characters. We are born imperfect and raised imperfect and this alone can allow us to realize our need of the PERFECT SAVIOR.

The child who is being raised by parents with the best of intentions of turning out a well adjusted mature adult some day, will still turn out riddled with imperfections. There are no perfect parents, but there are imperfect parents with the best of intentions. There are also imperfect parents without the best of intentions, whose only desire is for the child they are raising to simply not bug them while they go about their own lives- sad, but true.

Our children are NOT extensions of ourselves, but they are influenced by us. We can treat them as if they are part of us, and all that matters is they don't embarass us, but we fail them when we do that. Our children are gifts that are entrusted to us. And as any precious gift, we need to take care to see that it remains undamaged if at all possible by our imperfect caregiving. Most importantly, we need to guide our children towards the only hope we have, the Perfect Savior. We need to teach our children that we have to go to our Perfect Savior and confess our imperfections, repenting of them truly because we do not desire that that imperfections of our characters dominate our lives. We will find forgiveness for our imperfections- whatever they may be, the ones we are born with and form our personalities, they too must be repented of, not excused and accepted simply because we were born that way.  If we go that route then we can take it all the way to the point of saying we are victims born in sin so we must embrace the sins we are born to live in and simply accept them never caring that each sin separates us further from God.

God knows the adversity we are born into and every person has been given a way out- Jesus Christ.  Will our Savior make it so we never sin again? Ultimately, yes. Through Him and His GRACE, His MERCY, His LOVE, His RIGHTEOUSNESS, He will take from us all that promotes the sin in us and replace it with Himself, letting HIS righteousness become ours and when He returns for those who are His, we will NEVER ever have a single tendency to sin within us, it will be gone, all by HIS POWER to forgive and cleanse us, all through GRACE.

Right now we may not be able to imagine living sinlessly because each day the sin tendencies within us seem more and more apparant, but one day it will happen.  All the terrible imperfections in our thoughts, in our actions, in our hearts will be revealed and forgiven because they've been revealed and we have repented of them to our Savior.  Over and over again we may need to endlessly repent and throw ourselves on the mercy of our Savior, but we must NEVER despair of doing so, because if we despair of seeing the PERFECTION created in us ONLY by our SAVIOR, we have no hope. If we despair then we are secretly believing that we can somehow create the perfection ourselves, that we can give it to ourselves and we've failed to do so. We can NEVER create perfection in ourselves but we CAN ALWAYS submit to the ONE who can be, and is, perfect for us and is willing to keep us in Him until He can change us into incorruptible beings, beings without any guile, perfect as HE is perfect.

1Jn 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Jn 3:3  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1Pe_5:10  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Heb 13:20  Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Heb 13:21  Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Col_1:28  Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus

Joh_17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Our Savior is full of GRACE and TRUTH, and it's to HIM we go for all things!

Guide us to YOU,  Savior.  Let us LIVE IN YOU, and YOU LIVE IN US so that we may be YOURS in LOVE. 

Walk Uprightly- it is ONLY possible if Christ lives in us!

Psa 84:11  For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

So why do we imagine that we do not have to do anything once we are under grace, that we do NOT have to walk uprightly, because somehow that means we are trying to earn grace?

Yes, this is an Old Testament verse, and some will be quick to point that out, but it holds true for the New Testament as well.  When is it ever okay to claim the grace of God and live in such a way that is completely contrary to God? It's too easy for people to believe Satan's lie that they will never die. They also believe the lie that as long as they mouth the words of love for Christ, and have some measure of feeling for Him, that they are Christ's.

Tell me then, who is going to say in the day of Christ--

'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?'

Who is going to say that? One who never prophesized? One who never cast out devils? One who never did any wonderful works in the name of Christ?

NO!

It will be THOSE who are claiming Jesus' name!  These are the ones who are going to say that to our Savior when He returns and WHAT will our Savior reply to them?

'Mat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. '

These workers of iniquity will be working in Christ's name!!!!!!!!! They will believe, REALLY believe they are Christ's!

We need to think about that, really think about it. Our Savior tells us--

Mat 7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

A DOER of the FATHER'S WILL, that is who will be Christ's in the day of His return.

A living faith, a living belief in our Savior that is the Father's will.

Think about it for a moment.  The Apostles and the first believers lived their lives in the joy of the Savior's offered salvation. It was REAL to them!  It was a living, breathing FAITH for them.  ALL they did in life came SECOND to that FAITH they lived. And they did all the sorts of things that we all do to live- eat, drink, bath, dress, work, play, etc. They didn't stop living but their living was done IN CHRIST and the knowledge, the reality, of the SALVATION He brought to mankind.

Col_1:27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

Gal_2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Christ in us! Christ LIVING in us! We still live in our flesh, but we also live in FAITH in our SAVIOR, the SON OF GOD!

Should there be any aspect of our life that is NOT subject to Christ living in us through faith?

We can't live our Christian life as if Christ isn't living in us.

And this has to be a REALITY. What I mean by that is, we have to remember the people who are going to think they live in Christ but don't? We don't want to be numbered in their lot, they will not be saved, Christ doesn't know them.  They have all the outward trappings of being a Christian, so much so they prophesize and cast out devils, yet they are NOT Christ's!

Christ tells us this very important fact that SO many choose to overlook-

Joh 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

And so many do not do this. Some don't do it for fear they are being legalistic, and if they do keep the commandments they are trusting in their works, not in grace. Others don't do it because they believe it doesn't matter to truly spend time studying deeply to find out the facts of Christ's commandments. People have this WARPED idea of what it is to love God and love others.

First of all, God is love.
Secondly, if we love God we are living as God would live- remember, God is love.
Thirdly, if we are living as God would live we are automatically keeping His ten moral laws given to all of mankind.

To love God and others, we are living as God would have us live.

Loving God and others is NOT a hodge podge of feeling benevolent. Loving God and others is not ever self congratulatory for living as God would live- helping others even if it means dying to help them.

There is a reason our Savior told us to pray in a closet, and...

Mat_6:3  But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth

We are NOT ever to do a single Godly thing for selfish intents.  We are to do them because CHRIST lives in us, and CHRIST commands us to love Him and Others, and all that means!


It is CHRIST living in us!

Col 3:8  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Col 3:9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Col 3:10  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Col 3:11  Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and IN ALL.

Luk 17:21  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN you.

Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, AND SHALL BE IN YOU.

Joh 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and YE IN ME, AND I IN YOU.

Joh 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will COME UNTO HIM, and MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM.

Joh 15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Joh 15:3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Joh 15:4  ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Joh 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME, AND I IN HIM, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Joh 17:22  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Joh 17:23  I IN THEM, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Rom 8:10  And if Christ be IN YOU, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

1Co 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH IN YOU?

Gal 4:19  My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ BE FORMED IN YOU

Eph 2:22  In whom ye also are builded together for an HABITATION OF GOD through the Spirit.

Eph 3:17  That Christ may DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love

1Jn 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE THAT IS IN YOU, than he that is in the world.

Rev 3:19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Rev 3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Rev 3:22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


PLEASE LORD, please let us have YOU in us!  Live in us through the HOLY SPIRIT!  LIVE in US! And we know that YOU living in us alone gives us all the grace we will ever need!

ALL in YOUR AMAZING LOVE!

Amen!
