Luke 17v5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. - Jesus
If faith as small as a mustard seed can uproot a tree into the sea what can true unbridled faith produce in our lives?
Romans 5v1 Therefore, since we have been justified through FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Hope in Christ is everything. Grace through faith in the Son is the only road to righteousness. To think we have righteousness even when we mess up is a humbling thought. That God had mercy on the whole world gentiles and all to give us the right to eternity through faith in His Son. What an awesome God we serve. What a powerful Spirit that reigns in our hearts. Glory to God. Praise Jesus.
Romans 5v20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Luke 19v37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
Even the stones will cry out for joy for the hope that the savior brings to this world. PTL.
Romans 5v13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 13v8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
John 13v34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” -Jesus
Let love be our first and only reaction to bring the light of the name for which we live for, Christ. With this commandment from the very lips of Jesus we are called to represent love remembering that…
1 Corinthians 13v4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Ephesians 1v7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Through the sacrifice of His son Christ God revealed His great mystery and love to all; that eternal life was meant for everyone, and better yet this is His pleasure and will to bring ALL who believe in the Son into His kingdom when that glorious time comes. This is the power of the resurrection, to change and give hope to the whole world. Jesus changed the game forever and for everyone.
