Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

There is always many opportunities to sin, when your mouth is always running. It risks more sin. Wisdom says, to be guarded with our word’s, AND to use them carefully and for good and not evil. May your tongue, be blessed with word’s that build up, and not tear down, and may Jesus be lifted up.
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.
Proverbs 10:19 NASB

Freedom……a word in the US, that seems to mean these days, you can do, and say whatever you want. Freedom in Christ, our heavenly citizenship, is freedom from the bondage of sin, and condemnation that Satan proclaims, as well as the system of legalism of the Law, which only Jesus could keep. We are free to devote ourselves to love and good works, and if we fall, we are cleansed by the work of Jesus, on the cross. Can I get an Amen?
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:17 NASB

Though the enemy surrounds us, and we are in a spiritual battle daily, we can have confidence, in our God to watch over us. May our day be surrounded in the security of his love. God Bless.
But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress.
Psalms 59:16 NASB

Paul was writing to the Roman church, to let them clearly understand, that this hope extended to not just the Jewish people, but to all of mankind. God’s plan for salvation, always was to include all of mankind. In 15-9-12, Paul quotes from the Law, the Prophets, and Psalms, to make his case.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.15.13.NASB
The assumption is that there are two gates that lead to heaven. The wide gate is all religions of works and self righteousness that lead to destruction. Jesus said that the narrow gate is to follow him by faith, which is the only way to salvation. This is the narrow gate. It is by Grace alone, but it is not an easy path. It takes knowledge of God’s truth, repentance, and submission to Jesus’s path, and not our own. Thank you Jesus, for you Holy Spirit, that helps us on that narrow path, to all who choose to follow it.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

A few good friends who pursue truth and righteousness, strengthens the body and soul. They speak truth, whether in encouragement or correction. They help keep us focus on the goal, for the prize, which is “Good News” (see link for good news video link below, from the Bible Project)
Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17 NASB

Strength will rise, as we wait upon the Lord!
Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
Our strength comes from our faith, in the one who can deliver us, against all odds. We have all tried, in our own strength and failed, but thanks be to Jesus, who has delivered us from the power of sin and death. We can live life now, and for all of eternity, with hope, and joy, and peace, knowing our destiny for all of eternity! Ther is nothing that can separate us from the love of God, who are in Christ Jesus, our Lord, as the apostle Paul would say, in Romans 8. Amen & Amen!
If you are the center of your own universe, ie you worship yourself, how will you ever, find the one true God. If this is you, Jesus, is the only way to finding God! Praying your eyes will be opened to this truth, just as ours were opened when WE were blind. Thank you all, who follow me, and listen to what the Lord puts on my heart to share. You are a blessing to me, and encouragement.
A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.

God’s words spoken through King David. Who can add to this!
Yours, O Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord , and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
