Romans 12:12, KJV
No matter our circumstances, we have Christ as our example:
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”
Isaiah 12:2, ESV
Is this true for you today? Is God your salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ? Do you still fear death or the worries of life?
Trust Jesus today.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1, ESV
When Paul wrote his epistles (letters), he was drawing on God’s Word (our Old Testament).
In Christ, we no longer fear death, punishment for sin, nor anything this world may do to us, for He has overcome.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 17:17, ESV
It is tough living with and loving other people. We can get on our nerves, and we are brothers and sisters in Christ.
Yet, Christ calls us friends. We must love each other, but His love should flow through us.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV
We are given the boldness, desire, and wisdom to ask the Father for our needs thanks to the One who made it possible and is making us like Himself through His Holy Spirit:
Jesus, the One who died for our forgiveness and rose again to glory!
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21, ESV
We are utterly sinful.
Christ is completely pure.
He took on our disgusting, separating sin on the cross, so that, when the Father looks at us who believe this, He sees the purity of the Son.
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3, ESV
Faithfulness to Jesus inevitably invites hatred from worldly people and the fallen ones.
The Faithful One may allow you to suffer, but their words and attacks will not be able to shake you.
Remain in the foundation of Christ, your mighty fortress.
“For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
Matthew 7:8, ESV
All are welcome to seek and call on the Name of the Lord.
Those who repent and believe then only need ask.
How many times do we not ask God for what we need, or even want?
