Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 NASB
Category: Forgiveness
The sinfull desires remain, but as believers, they are not seen by Christ. As we walk by faith, in the spirit, we have freedom. The battle will rage on, until finally, we will receive our glorified bodies after we have left these earthly bodies, when the Lord calls us home. Daily reminding ourselves of this amazing grave we have received, changes us and helps us walk in the spirit. Can I get an Amen?
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24 NASB
Please………you must act! This is not an intellectual exercise. The time is now to follow Jesus, if you have not! All of eternity is at stake, for you. Ask the Lord to open you eyes to his truths.
What Good News! Do you believe it? There is no sin you can hide from God. Why not humble yourself before him, and be washed white as snow. Don’t beat yourself up. There is no sin God cannot forgive? Do you believe it? If you are hiding from him, then you are missing it. Humble yourself before him, and let him change your heart, through his grace and mercy. The alternative is, he will humble you anyway, but it will not be a good ending for you. Not now, and not forever, possibly. May the Lord grant you his eyes to see today.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord , And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7 NASB
To those who don’t know Jesus, do you ever want a fresh start, a reboot, a clean slate. This verse says we will become New. It doesn’t mean that we will completely lose that ugly sin nature, but God will see us as whole and restored when we surrender to him. Those of us who have surrendered to him, need to be continually reminded of this as well. How great is our God? REMEMBER……There is NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NASB
This is so difficult for me. It is only, through the eyes of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit, that I am able. Interestingly, this is not a suggestion, but a command! Start somewhere, and the Lord will help you grow in this. Remember, we were enemies of God, until we surrendered to Jesus, through the work of the cross. He loved us, before we could love him.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Luke 6:35 NASB
Are you satisfied at what you are pursuing to find fulfillment in your life?
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.
- We are forgiven,
- We are called sons and daughters,
- We are loved perfectly,
- We have a perfect father,
- We are perfect through Jesus work on the cross and his resurrection,
- We have a helper who guides and directs us
- We have God’s word that always gives us wisdom to walk fearlessly in a lost and decaying world.
- We also have a home that is being prepared for us to spend all of eternity, in a place where there will be no sorrow.
Can I get an Amen?
The penalty for sin was paid by Jesus, when he died on the cross. For those who follow him, there will be no judgement when he returns.
so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 9:28 NASB
The Eternal and Holy God, in humble fashion, came to live among us. Imagine, the Creator, caring so much, that he would not only live among us, but would suffer and die, so we might live.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 NASB
We are able to forgive, because we have been forgiven much.
Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8 NASB
