Inspirational—God, Our Hope, Shield and Trust |
 As we are in the Christmas season, we think of the real meaning of
Christmas. Adam’s sin in the garden brought the curse of sin and death on
all mankind, but the Good News is that the second Adam, Jesus, came to give
us life more abundantly. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God” There had to be a perfect human sacrifice to die for the
sins of mankind but this was not possible because all have sinned. What
mankind could not do for himself, God did for him. “For God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be
saved. Romans 8:12 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made us free from the law of sin and death. We appropriate that spirit of
life by repentance, baptism in Jesus name for the remission (not being
charged with) of our sins and then receiving the Holy Ghost, God’s Spirit in
us, Acts 2:38. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you:...”Romans 8:6 “For to be carnally minded is death; but to
be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:13, 14 “For if ye live
after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God”. Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose.” Romans 8:31 “If God be for us, who can be against
us?” Romans 8:35 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall
tribulations, or distress, or persecutions, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?” Romans 8:37-39 “Nay in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor things present, nor
things to come, nor height, no depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.
Victory is ours for the taking! May you be a partaker this season! |
