Do
you know for sure you are going to heaven?
"God LOVED the world so dearly
that he gave His Only Son that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life. God sent Jesus
into the world not to condemn the world but that the world
might have salvation through Him."
John 3:16-17
I am so grateful for Gods' GRACE
and MERCY! Through grace and mercy God reveals just
how deeply He cares for the weaknesses and needs of people
in distress. Through grace and mercy God pardons instead
of punishes; through grace and mercy God expresses his compassion,
kindness, and benevolence towards humanity. Grace and mercy
originate in, and spring forth from the core of Gods character
which is LOVE!
Gods grace and mercy are not just
nice feelings or emotions; God always expresses his grace
and mercy through his actions! He has both the desire and
ability to take your pain; but more importantly, God desires
to remove the cause of pain! When you come to truly understanding
Gods grace and mercy, and experience His freeing power from
the bondage of guilt, shame, inferiority, sin, mistakes
or failures in your life; you experience joy, delight, gratitude,
and peace that are beyond measure! God truly does love you!
Finally, and most important for you
to understand, is that Gods' grace is FREE! You can
accept or reject the grace that God brings to you through
Jesus Christ; but, you cannot earn it, buy it, or work to
obtain it; grace is a free gift from God! Grace is the unearned
gift of forgiveness of sins and the removal of their consequences
from God to you!
"For by GRACE you have
been saved through FAITH; and this is not your
own doing, it is the gift of God - not because of any
works on your part, lest any man should boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9
"But God, who is RICH in
MERCY, out of His GREAT LOVE with which He
LOVES us, even when we were dead in sins, has made
us live again with Jesus Christ, by GRACE are you
saved."
Ephesians 2:4-5
"For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God; however, anyone may have right
standing with God as a free gift of His Grace through
the price which was paid by Christ Jesus."
Romans 3:23-24
Now the choice is up to you. Receive
His forgiveness for your sin, His joy for your pain, His
peace for your anxiety, His healing for your sickness, His
wholeness for your emptiness, His hope for your despair,
His abundance for your lack, His best for your worst. Not
a bad exchange!
"Satan comes to steal, kill,
and destroy: Jesus came that we would have life and has
it in overflowing abundance."
John 10:10
"For this purpose Jesus came
into the world that he would undo and completely destroy
the works of the devil."
1 John 3:8
"For our sakes God made Jesus
Christ who had never sinned to become sin in our place;
that through Christ Jesus we might be changed into the
righteousness' of God."
2 Corinthians 5:21
"God has delivered us from the
power and dominion of darkness and brought us into the
kingdom of His beloved Son in whom we have redemption
through His blood, including the forgiveness of sins."
Colossians 1:13-14
