John, chapter 1 (3)

Praise the LORD family, we thank the LORD for the blessing of a new day filled with God's goodness and wonderful surprises. Father God thank you for this is the day that You have made and we are glad and rejoice in it. May all who hunger and thirst for righteousness be filled by the Bread of Life in the name of Jesus, Amen. Thank you LORD.

John 1:12-13 (NKJV)

12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

13. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

Amen, thank you LORD.

Salvation is a work of love that can only be started by God in the human heart. 2 Corinthians 5:19, speaks of God who was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself by not blaming them for their sin. This verse shows us that even before we knew God, He knew us and found us blameless in His eyes. Romans 5:8 further reminds us that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Children born of God have been washed and cleansed by the blood of Jesus can no longer identify themselves as sinners. That is, for everyone who believes in the name of Jesus is born of God. This means that by God's power you are now, a saint, redeemed of the LORD, a child of God, a son of God, born by the Spirit of the LORD, not by the flesh (biologically) nor your personal effort and will.

I'll end with this verse found in 2 Corinthians 5:21 (AMP) that speaks of what God did for us through Christ.

"He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]."

Amen, thank you LORD.

Invitation to salvation: If you would like to receive Jesus and be born again into God's Kingdom, that is saved and have a personal relationship with God as Your Father and you as His child by receiving His Son, Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, I invite you to say this confession:

"I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that; Jesus Christ, the Son of God came in a human body to die for my sins so that I could have a new life where I am dead to sin and alive to God. I repent of my past sins and enter the Kingdom of light where I choose relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and with God as my loving Father today and forever." AMEN.

GLORY TO GOD, You are now a new creation in Christ Jesus! In case you have not already, please prayerfully consider becoming a member of a church and get WATER BAPTIZED!
