37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly a conquer through b Him who loved us. † 38 For I am convinced that neither a death, nor life, nor b angels, nor principalities, nor a things present, nor things to come, nor powers, † 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from a the love of God, which is b in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus conquered death, so that we might conquer life (Both here on earth, as well as for all of eternity)! Can I get an Amen?
If there is no fruit, you will be taken away. That is not a place you want to be. Pray that the Lord would help you fully see that you might produce fruit. If you are bearing fruit (true believers), the sin in your life will be pruned away, that you may produce more fruit! How great for those who believe, to have God help us, throw off the sins that hold us back. This is a process, that does not happen over night. May we hand over to God, those sins, so that we might not have to go through the painful process of pruning as much. Let us hope for and wait, for that day when we are called home, to be fully complete, lacking in nothing!
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2 NASB
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24 NASB
By the way, how’s your sharing going? Please share whether good or bad. I shared online with someone and was accused of believing in Santa among other things. I count it a privilege, to be attacked for the sake of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation.
So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
Psalms 90:12 NASB
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
1 John 4:9 MSG
It is literally the greatest gift God can give, and the greatest thing we could share, to those who don’t know. Let me know how it goes for you today.
Will you be too busy, will you be too afraid, or will you be bold, filled with the Holy Spirit? I will be praying for us all today. May the seeds be sown and the harvest be plentiful.
Blessings

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16 NASB
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Mark 8:34-35 NASB
Delight yourself in the Lord ; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.4.NASB
The things of this world are temporal, but the things of the LORD are eternal. We find joy when we accept and pursue and shower ourselves in God’s promises.
Can I get an Amen?
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
