ARE WE SAVED BY GRACE ALONE? WE MUST HAVE TRUTH ALSO. GRACE AND TRUTH ARE CONNECTED.

 We must understand that grace and truth are connected, they cannot be separated.

John 1:17

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

We must trust the truth of God's word to experience His grace. (Unmerited favor)

It's all Jesus.  He is grace and truth.

Beloved, did you know that Jesus never mentions grace in the gospels?

He did however, say that He is the way, the truth and the life.

But He sure did demonstrate grace and truth wherever He went.

We must believe the truth that Jesus died for all our sins, and we must confess that with our mouth.

Romans10:6-10

But the righteousness of faith speaks this way, "Do not say in your heart,  "Who will ascend into heaven?"( that is to bring Christ down from above) or "who will descend into the abyss" (that is to bring Christ up from the dead), But what it does say? "the word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" that is the word of faith which we preach: that IF you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ( that's our part, confessing with our mouth)

Beloved, there are people sitting in churches who believe the grace of God, but still live the same old way with little change. 

They need all the truth of God's word to fully understand their salvation by grace. 

It's not grace alone. too many believe because they are under God's grace , that they can continue in their sin. Wrong!

They need the truth of God's word, in order to see the whole understanding of grace.

We need to understand God's unmerited favor called grace. How blessed we are to have the grace of God.

In all of letters to the churches, they started with grace and peace.  

That was the writers way of blessing the churches. Speaking unmerited favor over them.

Grace is first mentioned in the story of Noah, he found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Beloved, grace and truth is all Jesus.

God's grace was evident in all Jesus said and did.

Jesus understood our emotions and our mindset, being found Himself in a human body.

Be grateful for the grace of God wrapped up in His truth, the truth of His word, will cause us to obey our God!

Praise God for His mercy and grace.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I have see

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk i
