How great are His mercies! After searching everywhere you've finally found the only and true source of
Peace,
Joy, and
Freedom -
The Lord Jesus Christ!
John 3:16-17 KJV.
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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
At times we go about life walking to and from different places looking for a way to fill our punctured hearts. Nonetheless, the glitter and guild of this world cannot and will not mend our hearts. As a result, searching here and there - we come across all sorts of ensnaring sins, which make us fall, each bringing painful and sad memories; separating us from the love of God and His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior!
Isaiah 59:1-4 King James Version
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Yes, sin seduces us into believing we can manage ourselves or be self-efficient: a sort of demigod; the type who can have full control and dominion of one's life. Nonetheless,
sin (
adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, lovers of self, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God)
never tells us its path leads to eternal death and damnation. –
yes, sin lies to us.
Proverbs 14:12 King James Version
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
After all, as presented in Proverbs 14:12; sin - brings us down, it knocks us out, and towards the end, we don't feel fulfilled. For the father of sin, the thief, meaning the devil - only desires our demise.
John 10:10 King James Version
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
That's why the whole world is under so much pressure and tainted by sin. Not one person is able to escape sin!
Romans 3:22-26 James Version
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Sin - it's a constant struggle between the flesh and the mind!
Romans 7:8-25 King James Version
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
The thief has been robbing us of our peace,joy, and freedom. Nonetheless,
Jesus Christ is ready to give us life and restore full what sin has emptied, stolen, broken, and brought down! Now is
the time to live in God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ! The word of God tells us in Romans 10:8-9, we must
simply confess Jesus Christ as the son of God and we shall be saved! Forgiven!
Simply Repent, Confess, and You shall be Saved, Forgiven!
Romans 10:8-9 King James Version
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
The Heaveny Father our GOD, The LORD has been tenderly calling you and working in your heart so you are able to recognize His Son, Jesus Christ as your Redeemer and Savior.
You now can receive and inherit the gift of mercy, grace, and eternal life. You won't be wondering about the pains and aches of life any longer. But, rather rejoice in the grace and mercies of The Lord.
You will now understand the mystery and go about
life living for Jesus Christ; searching His ways (
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance) and not the ones dictated by the prince of the air, meaning the devil.
Never forget this,
You are a chosen vessel for the Almighty – the maker and creator of the whole world!
As you gain more understanding about the word of God, The heavenly Father will always be wiling to accept you with open arms. Thanks, to the the atonement (Jesus death for our sins) of His Son, Jesus Christ!
Your sins are Washed away in the Blood of the Lamb. You will be transformed and made whiter than wool and snow!
Psalms 51:7 King James Version
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Ephesians 2:2-10 King James Version
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Heaven rejoices for anyone, meaning
you, who has decided
to return home, to the compassionate arms of our heavenly father and His Son, Jesus Christ!
Luke 15:7 King James Version
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Blessed be the name of our GOD, YAH! Who saved us by grace through faith in Jesus Christ!

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
