THE WAY ,AND THE TRUTH

THE ONLY MESSIAH
“This is a true saying and everyone should believe it, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I was one of the worse of them all; But that is why God had mercy on me, so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of His great patience with even the worse sinners; then others will realize that they too, can believe in Him(Jesus) and receive eternal life (1 Timothy 1:15-16).Then John 3:16 tells us that ,God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us and not condemn us. 1 Timothy 2:4-6 confirms this by telling us;
“For He (Jesus) wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.” Have a blessed day.

Reasons for Studying God’s Word

THE WOE’S OF TODAY

Jeremiah 16:17-21 warns us,
“For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.” O Lord , my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things. ” Will a man make gods for himself, Which are not gods? “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know My hand and My might; And they shall know that My name is the Lord “.

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
Matthew 23:13‭-‬39 NKJV

(Isaiah 55:11 AMP)
…My WORD goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void (without producing any effect or change) but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
+God’s Word has to do what He said it will do.
Titus 1:2 God cannot lie.
Matthew 4:4 Jesus said:
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
+God wants us to experience His Word everyday of our lives.
+We must give the Word of God the Highest Regard and Reverence. God and His Word are ONE.
+Disregard, Irreverence and lack of faith in God’s Word are the reasons why many do not experience the fulfillment of God’s Word in our lives.
+Going forward let us give the highest Regard, Reverence, and Honor to God’s Word. AMEN!!!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

DESTRUCTIVE PATH


Hosea 4:6 tells us:
MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Let’s go deeper,and see why.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. The more they increased and multiplied [in prosperity and power], the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame. They feed on the sin of My people and set their heart on their iniquity. And it shall be: Like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their doings. For they shall eat and not have enough; they shall play the harlot and beget no increase, because they have forsaken the Lord for harlotry;…” (Hosea 4:6‭-‬10 AMPC).

“There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death”. ( Proverbs 14:12 AMPC).


Proverb 15:5
A fool despises (hates) his father’s instruction…

“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth. But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness”. (2 Timothy 2:15‭-‬16 AMPC).

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”. (Hebrews 4:12‭-‬16 NKJV).


•God is our Heavenly Father, and the Bible His Holy Word is His instructions to us.
•When we DO NOT study God’s Word we are indirectly despising, hating and rejecting our Heavenly Father’s instructions.
•Studying the Word of God is not a suggestion or option. It’s a commandment that we obey out of love for the Lord.
Jesus said in John 14:15 If all of you love me, keep my commandments, and in Luke 6:46 He also said “why all of you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”

“If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts]”. [1 John 1:9‭-‬10 AMPC].

“If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land”.
(2 Chronicles 7:14 AMPC)


•Continue to make God’s Word your daily study.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

HOLY WEEK MESSAGE

IT’S HOLY WEEK,I PRAY THAT EVERYONE WILL DO AS THIS SCRIPTURE SUGGESTS.

We are Called to be Holy
1 Peter 1:16
Because it is written, Be all of you HOLY; for I am HOLY.
+What does God mean when When God said for us to be HOLY?
+HOLY or HOLINESS means Sanctified, Consecrated and Cleansed before Reverently Dedicated to God.
+As HOLY People of God we are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We are also the Holiness of God in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 2:9 says this :
But all of you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a HOLY nation, an exclusive (or Peculiar) people; that all of you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
+We are made HOLY through the Blood and Cross of Jesus.
+HOLINESS is also Christ in us and us in Christ.
+HOLINESS takes us into the MANIFESTED Presence and the Supernatural Power of Almighty God. Hallelujah!!!


However in Romans 12:1-2 God said:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”.

Renewing Our Minds
Romans 12:2
And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God.
1 Corinthians 2:16
…But we have the MIND of Christ.
+When we got born again, we received a New Mind (The Mind of Christ).
+The old information from the old mind is now on the New Mind.
+The New Mind does not support the old information from the old mind.
+So the old info must be replaced by renewing of the Mind with New Info which is the Word of God.
+The Word of God REFRESHES our Minds, and programs it with the GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT WILL of God.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!

GOD SEES,AND KNOWS.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows”.(Matthew 10:29-31).

++Let Go and Trust God++
•Have you ever had something to say to someone and wanted to say it the right way, at the right time, but you were also angry with the person?
•Here are some fundamental principles of scripture that will help you.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 NKJV

Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Luke 6:36 NKJV. However,


James 1:19-20 says,
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
Ephesians 4:26
Be all of you angry, and sin not…
Proverbs 15:1-2
A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright…
James 3:2
…If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man…
Ecclesiastes 7:9
Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
•Always be willing to let the anger go, trust God and communicate in love.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

PRAYER WARRIORS, THIS MEANS WAR.

The devil knows his end is near,so his attacks are heightened and severe, his demonic attacks has risen,that’s why the suicide and murder rate has escalated. It’s time for the true and faithful worshippers of the ALMIGHTY GOD,THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, to stand up like warriors in the army of the Lord.

WHY IS THE CHURCH, INTIMIDATED, AND WORRIED? Have they forgotten what Jesus said:

Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HADES SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:17‭-‬19 NKJV).

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you “. (Luke 10:19 NKJV)

REMEMBER: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord”. (Isaiah 54:17 NKJV).

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. FOR THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL BUT MIGHTY IN GOD FOR PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled”. (II Corinthians 10:3‭-‬6 NKJV).

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—” (Ephesians 6:10‭-‬18 NKJV).

You are POWERFUL, STRONG and VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:3
You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 4:13
You can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you.
+Through Christ we are able to endure hardships and difficulties in every situations and circumstances
+In Christ Jesus we are more than conquerors. That means we cannot be conquered.
+In Christ Jesus we are Victors, not victims, and we cannot be victimized by anything.
+Through Christ Jesus the enemy and all our problems are defeated. To God be all the Glory, and to us be Total and Complete VICTORY!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

IT’S NOT YOURS,DON’T BOAST.

Some people just love to brag about their education, their job,their house,cars,etc. Yet they never thank God,for anything, as if they did it all on their own. Technically it’s not yours ,and if you don’t believe, i dare you to take it with you,when you die,allow me to tell you what God says.

“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully”. (Psalms 24:1‭-‬4 NKJV).

“My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad”. (Psalms 34:2 NKJV)

“Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord”. (Jeremiah 9:23‭-‬24 NKJV).

“…that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” ( 1 Corinthians 1:31 NKJV). “

“But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends”. (
II Corinthians 10:17‭-‬18 NKJV).

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world”. (Galatians 6:14 NKJV)

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them”. (Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 NKJV).

In conclusion, know this:

God Sees and Rewards our Good Works
Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which all of you have showed toward his Name…
+God rewards us for the works we do in His Name and for His Glory.
+Let us not allow ourselves, others or that dumb devil to discourage our good works for the Lord.
+Do not allow anyone to use you or take advantage of you while you doing the Lord’s good works. Amen!
+In Mark 10:28-31 Jesus said He will give back to us 100% increased on the return for our good works.
+Even though the Lord rewards us for our good works, let us not do good works for the rewards but out of a heart of love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

GOD IS WITH YOU,EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you, He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” (Deuteronomy 31:8).

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:5‭-‬9 NKJV).

“For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people. Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way”. (I Samuel 12:22‭-‬23 NKJV).

“And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord”. (I Chronicles 28:20 NKJV)

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”. (Hebrews 13:5‭-‬6 NKJV).

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Dear Lord,
Oh, how we love you. We love how you have already gone before us. We love that you have already paved the way. We love that when we step out in obedience, that you promise to continue to be with us, and you will then go behind us. Thank you for the promise that you will never leave us nor forsake us. That even if we don’t know every detail as to why you are telling us to go do something, that we can cling close to you staying attached to you, knowing you’ll direct us.

Please continue to direct us one next step at a time. Father, please give us peace and courage to do the next thing. Thank you for choosing us to partner with you to fulfill your purpose here “on earth as it is in Heaven.” (Matthew 6:10) We pray that in moments of weakness and doubt, that we would run closer to you and not run away. That when the future looks dim and looks nothing like what we expected that we know that you are the author of the story and know how this story ends.

You are a faithful God. Remind us that you are in control as we choose to trust you this day. Thank you for being sovereign over my life. We praise you, Father.
In JESUS’S NAME . AMEN ,AMEN AND AMEN. Thanks Howie for this wonderful prayer.

JUST PRAY

Praying For One Another,praying is a command from God. Prayer goes where you cannot go,do what you cannot do, and gives God access to your situation, and others.

You have not because you ask not,have you prayed, if you only pray when you need something, then you’re in trouble. Do you thank God after you pray.

“You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain,

“The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up ” .(James 4:2‭-‬10 NKJV).

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you”. (Philippians 4:6‭-‬9 NKJV).

“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—” (Ephesians 6:18 NKJV).

“pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”.(I Thessalonians 5:17‭-‬18 NKJV)


+Do we pray more for things than we pray for one another?
+Do we wait for others to call us with a problem before we pray for them?
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER, THAT ALL OF YOU MAY BE HEALED. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
EMPHASIS:
A. PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER…
B. THAT ALL OF YOU MAY BE HEALED… (Please note that we also receive HEALING when we pray for one another).
Luke 18:1 (Jesus said)
…that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.
+I am praying for you and thank you for praying for me.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!

ARE YOU LIVING BY FAITH ?

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM”. (Hebrews 11:1‭, ‬6 NKJV).

“Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin”. (Romans 14:22‭-‬23 NKJV).

“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work”. (Titus 1:15‭-‬16 NKJV).

The Importance of Living by FAITH
•Four times God said in the Bible “The JUST shall live by FAITH”

  1. Habakkuk 2:4

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH.

2.Romans 1:17

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

3. Galatians 3:11

But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

4. Hebrews 10:38

NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
•The word JUST in scripture means justified ( just as if we have never sinned). It also means RIGHTEOUS.
•It is impossible to please God without faith, Hebrews 11:6.
•It doesn’t take any FAITH to live unholy and unrighteous, but it takes FAITH in Christ Jesus to live HOLY and RIGHTEOUS. Why?
Galatians 2:16 says,
Knowing that a man is not justified (or made righteous) by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ…
•You are righteous, justified, sanctified and holy because you live by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His redemptive work for us.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
