Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.

Risk vs Reward…..Eternal damnation or Eternal Glory. Jesus is worth the Risk and Reward, for trusting and following him! Satan on the other hand is a liar.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;
1 Peter 1:14-15 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.1.14-15.NASB
This verse reminds me of the old hymn, “Just a closer walk with thee”. What a wonderful reminder, to walk, hand in hand, with Jesus, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, both now and forever!
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jud.1.20-21/1092
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
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/mat.7.13-14/39671
We live in a world, that seems to be crumbling around us. Our hope, both in the future and now, in this present darkness, is that we have a friend in Jesus, who has overcome the world. Because of his reconciliation of us, with God the Father, we can live life, without the bondage of sin, and the freedom to share the Good News, with with all who would listen. The book of 1 John, calls us overcomers! Can I get an Amen?
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jhn.10.10/7422
Isn’t it great to know, that no matter what happens to us here on this earth, we have a God who protects us. Not saying bad things won’t come in this sinful world, but for those who put their trust and faith in Jesus, we will never die. We will pass, from this temporary life, into all eternity, with all of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Now that is Good News we should be telling to all who will come to Jesus.
Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
PROVERBS 2:8 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/pro.2.8/504
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.
JOHN 14:1 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.1.NASB
Please Lord, open the eyes of those who don’t believe, so that they will not be judged. Use us, as your instruments, to share the Good News, that Jesus saves, to all who believe in faith, and turn from their wicked ways. Amen
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
JOHN 3:18 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.18.NASB
Help us remember, Lord, that you allow us, to go through trials, so that we choose you. This life, will have many tests and trials, but for those who remain in their faith in Jesus, (Not in their own self), will enter into your kingdom with joy. There will be no more sorrows, no more pain, no more sickness, no more sinful nature. So…..let us take joy in Jesus word’s, take heart, I have overcome the world!
For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/2co.7.10/32925
Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
