Tag: Salvation
www.bible.com/100/deu.6.5.nasb
This is the mourning over sin, and godly sorrow that leads to repentance. The comfort is the forgiveness and salvation.
The Good fruit comes from Faith through God’s Grace. We can not earn salvation, works are, from an overflowing joy, of the Good News of the Gospel. Grace to all of you, today. May we show Grace, just as Jesus, has to us. Not because we deserved it, on the contrary, we deserved eternal punishment, but through his, Grace, and our Faith in Jesus, he has set us free.
So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:17-20 NASB

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
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
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, this life is a marathon! Help us to run the race with endurance. Let us not lose site, of the hope we have, and the crown of life we will receive. Not because of what we have done, but what Jesus has done on the cross, and resurrection, and through his Holy Spirit, working in us. Thank you, Lord.
Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jas.1.12/9149
Hundreds of years in the past, a promise was made, through the prophet Isaiah. Thank you God, for always keeping your promises! It may not always be in our timing, but it is always in yours.
Dad, finally put to rest.
Yesterday, we put my father to rest. For me, I felt like he was at rest, the moment he passed, from this life to the next.
Culturally, back here, it is a big deal to look at the Shell of a body and find finality with the person’s death.
I don’t get it so much, but respect it. Definitely, the burial does make a lasting impression that he is gone.
Anyway, he joins quite a few family members, who leave a legacy of loving God and loving and serving people.
I will miss you Dad, in physical form, but your legacy and spirit will live FOREVER!
With Love
Alan
Me, an accident? I don’t think so.
My father went to be with the creator of all things on 10-10-18. What a new home, he has found. Someday, I will get to join him, when my time has come, and he takes me home. It will be a great reunion with Dad and Mom and many relatives who have gone before them.
