Justified By Faith

Text. : Romans 3:28

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law._ (NIV) 

Though several people have professed and confessed Jesus as their personal Saviour and Lord, but they still discover that sin overpowers them.  They are yet to experience  victory over sin in their daily experience.

One of the reasons for this is because we pursue to perfect our salvation through our personal efforts and the laws. The only thing laws can do for us is to awaken us to the consciousness of sin.

Jesus started the journey of our salvation, and He is the only One that can Perfect it (not the law or man's efforts). All we need do is simply believe Him.Because, He's the One that works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. Phil. 2:13.

I realised that though many people have truly given their lives to Christ, but because they keep falling into sins; they gave up and went back to their former estate. Some have tried to stop one sinful habit or the other, but having tried severally and failed, they threw in the towel.

When you employ rules and regulations (laws) to overcome sinful life, you will keep falling and failling. You cannot be justified through laws but only by Faith in what Jesus had done on the Cross. 

 The just shall live by Faith_* (Hebrew 10;38)

You can only live through Faith in Jesus. Faith is  the only requirement to live righteously. Simply plunge your faith(believe) in Jesus and you shall be saved from all the sins that have been harrassing you.

In order to witness victory over sin or come into salvation, you can go to Him today by simply praying thus:

Father, I thank you for sending Jesus to die for my sin on the cross. I believe that Jesus had finished the work of my salvation on the cross. I believe that Jesus had paid all the price on the cross. Today I confess that I am a sinner. I therefore come to Jesus for forgiveness and cleansing. I receive victory _over sin through_ _His death on the cross. I declare that I am free from sin and_ _death. I am a new person from now on. I walk in victory henceforth.

 *Walk in your Victory henceforth. Halleluyah !!!* 

Bible reading: Romans 3:1-23.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
