How's things in your life sisters?!
Praise God that we each choose to seek after life in Christ. Indeed if we are new creations in Him striving in holiness and obedience we have the hope of eternal life! What a joy that is. We know sin leads to death sisters and we don't want to dwell in any sin. Praise God for His Word, and we shall see what He wants from us if we diligently study it.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
I read this verse this morning so I wanted to share some similar things on how blessed we are to have life! Let us rejoice together in that!
This goes along with how rich we are really in Christ who is our life.
Sometimes I don't have many words of my own here and I'm joyous to communicate directly with some of you so I hope these scriptures I share are encouraging and they are certainly edifying. We are to do all things unto edifying and make sure all our words are pleasing to the Lord. So with His precious Word you know it is going to be all of that.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
John 5:24-25
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:35
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:21
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
2 Timothy 1:10
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:14
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
1 John 3:14
Sisters, we don't want to abide in death do we! We know that if we keep sinning in something we know is sin that it will lead to our death. But with the power of God we strive to leave sin.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
John 8:51
What an amazing hope we have in Christ! We have been made alive from the dead! And we have hope of eternal life if we endure. How thankful we ought to be considering we deserve death. Rejoice sisters and let us serve this mighty Saviour who made the way for us to have this life!
I like this picture I took today with the spring leaves on the tree. It reminds me of life.
Well I shall go now sister saints! Let us choose the narrow road which leads to life! What a blessed and glorious hope we have in Christ!
Lord willing I shall be back tomorrow.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 21:27
Love to you sisters,
