When Christ came into the world, He said, “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings You were not pleased. Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about Me in the scroll— I have come to do Your will, My God.”
Hebrews 10:5 – 7
In the Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, he speaks a significant phrase: “Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.” – Romans 3:27.
Faith and power go together! You cannot separate the two! These are words of grace for all mankind. The power is in the Gospel, not in the person who speaks. Therefore, we do not have to be afraid when we stand up to speak, for the Gospel has a power of its own. Its power is endued from on high toward us who believe.
God’s desire is that we choose to enter into a new life with Him and that we experience this new life to the full!
Our flesh and fleshly desires always have the desire to rule. But God’s word, the Bible, clearly says, “for sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” – Romans 6:14
One of the shortest books in the New Testament of the Bible representing the message of the Gospel of Christ, is the Book of Philemon. It contains a letter in the most personal of terms from the Apostle Paul, to a brother in Christ named Philemon…
God does not want us as believers in Christ to rely on proof or evidence of His character or power to perform that which He has spoken. He wants us to have faith in Him and to believe in His word
God wants every believer in Christ to walk in the fullness of His promises that are contained in His word.
In God’s Kingdom there is a place for every one! No one misses out! No one is overlooked!
If you would like to have a relationship with God through accepting His Son Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, please pray the prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I am sorry for the sins I have committed and I ask You to forgive me. I now turn away from all the things that I know to be wrong and I receive Your Holy Spirit and Your gift of eternal life. Thank You for this free gift of Salvation and eternal life. Help me to come to know and experience Your love for me more and more, and to now share the love You have given me with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We would love to hear from you: If you have prayed this prayer for the first time, or have recommitted your life to Christ today I would love to hear from you to encourage you in your new walk with Christ. You can send me an email by clicking 'Get in Touch' on the yellow bar at the bottom of the Home or Articles pages.
What next: Once we have started our relationship with Christ – it is important that we continue to grow in our understanding of Him, and experience His love for us on a regular basis. God does this for us as we read the Bible, which I encourage you to do on a regular basis, asking the Holy Spirit to help you understand it and make it “come alive” to you in a very personal way. May I encourage you to do this every day, and to actively pursue those things that God reveals to you. We also need to be spending time with other like-minded Christians on a regular basis, who are also growing in their relationship with God. We gain encouragement from being with other growing believers. Ask God to lead you to a Bible-believing church (or Bible-believing Christian group) that will encourage your relationship with Christ and help to meet your needs. Ask Him, and trust that He will guide you to the place of fellowship that is right for you.
May God both work in you and through you, those things that He desires, as you continue to submit your life to Him each day.
