For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

We all fall to temptation, at times, but the question is, what are you characterized by? Remember, we have an advocate, for us in Jesus. He took on sin on our behalf, so that we might be seen by God as without sin.
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.
3 John 1:11 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/3jn.1.11.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

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.
Matthew 7:13-14 NASB

The Christian life, is not about remembering a point in time. Salvation is about that, but it is just the beginning. We are called to follow Jesus, and that is not an intellectual exercise. The Bible says that even the demons acknowledge Jesus and shutter! We are Called to Read and study, meditate and pray, serve one another, minister to the weak and poor, share His Story…..You get the idea. If you have been, negligent in this area, confess it. We serve a gracious God who forgives, and separates our sins, as far as the East is from the West. Is that not Amazing! Let’s go out today, filled with the Spirit, and see what God will do. Please share if you see his work in your life today. I know I have already this morning. I had no idea I would be writing this, even after I saw the verse. God is so Good. Thank you Jesus!
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/php.4.9/3082
Consider this……Paul, was writing this to Timothy, who was being pressed on all sides and wavering. Even though, just associating with Paul, might bring him death, for naming the name of Jesus, Paul write these word’s of exhortation. What fears are you facing today? Consider Paul’s word’s and meditate on them in faith, that God will bring you through it. Praying for you today that you will be strengthened.
For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/2ti.1.7/36069
Lord, may our WALK, match our TALK, today, as we serve you, and those around us. Hope you all have a blessed day.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
EPHESIANS 5:1-2 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/eph.5.1-2/36075
I want you to stop and think about this, with me for a minute. Jesus’s way, is not the world’s way. We are called to Love our enemies, not destroy and overcome, like the worldly view. We overcome with Love and Compassion, just as Jesus did. Think about an enemy, or someone you are at war (there is strife of some sort) with right now. Show compassion and love to them, but don’t do it to get something. Do it because that is how Jesus did it. The rest is not up to us. God Bless you today.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
LUKE 6:36 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/luk.6.36/420
The Hebrew word for peace is “Shalom”. It can only be truly felt, by those who have surrendered their life to Jesus. I might add, that it is a daily battle that rages that one must continually, give over to Jesus. The comfort, the joy, the Shalom, that we have, as we say, not my will, but yours, Lord. May your day be fill with Shalom, as you are filled with his spirit today. God Bless.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
JOHN 14:27 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jhn.14.27/34723
Jesus, was fully man, and fully God! Later on, he would say, if you want to know the Father, you need to go through me. He said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me (John 14:6. If you seek and follow Jesus teachings, you will find, life eternal. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whosoever believer in him, should have eternal life.
“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
