Our Redeeming Savior

Christ our Redeeming Savior came to earth for one special purpose--to save the human race from their miserable situation. Since Adam's sin, we have been getting further and further away from God. But Jesus said, "The one who comes to me, I will by no means cast out." Other people may reject you, but Jesus stated that whoever believed in him would not perish but have everlasting life.

God's love for you knows no bounds and it is everlasting...but if you aren't saved right now ask God to forgive you of your sin and the Holy Spirit will cleanse you from all sin. You will then be accepted into the body of Christ as a new person, be on your way to heaven and can enjoy real fellowship with God and his people. May the Father of Glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ give you peace and wisdom as you seek to serve him (Galatians 5 v. 19-26).

We can now walk in the Spirit and seek to inherit the kingdom of God. Furthermore we can now bear the fruit of the spirit which is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. God loves you just the way that you are. His love for you, however, is too much to let you remain the same way that you joined his spiritual family. His desire is that you grow, mature and be the best that you can be. Just leave it all to him and he will take care of your transformation.

We Shall Overcome

We are overcomers. God has already changed our direction. When God saved you, He made you a new person. Not only does He put us in Christ, He also put Christ in us. The result is a changed attitude, a willingness to change our actions, and a transformed view of the world that must conform to God's plan for our lives. Because Christ has been placed inside of us, He lets us know when we are in the will of God.

God gives us the power we need to do what He wants us to do. If you aren't saved, just ask Him right now to come into your heart and save you. Seek God and have faith. Pray and God, in His mercy, will save you and give you the power and strength to overcome any problems you may encounter in the future.

If you are already saved, you have already been accepted by God. The way He sees us is very important which is why the blood of Jesus is required. Don't worry about the things that you gave over to the Lord. Change the direction of your thoughts. When we are anxious, it's easy to make mistakes. Allow God to work out His will in your life (Phillipians 4 v. 14-18).

Since God has accepted you, you don't need to waste all that time seeking the approval of others. Most people won't approve of what God has planned for your life anyway. So if you need advice, seek out good Christian counsel as opposed to secular counselors who will most likely lead you astray. In order to take the right course of action, pray to God for wisdom. The Lord never makes a mistake. Follow the direction of Christ who lives in your heart. You will never get too old because God keeps you refreshed and makes everything new for His children to enjoy each morning. Learn something new as often as you can. Volunteer if you have some spare time. Move forward with a strong, active faith. Only God can eliminate the prejudices, though He gives us enough intuition to recognize them. Although we don't know what our future will hold, our Lord can see it all. He knows our joys and our fears, so rest assured it is His good will to guard you and lead your feet onto a safe path.

Therefore, don't be dismayed when life's problems come your way. Draw near to God and He'll chase the clouds away. God has our eternal good in mind. When we pray and ask for something and He says no, rest assured He has our eternal welfare in mind and His blessings are endless.
