Friendship with God

When a person puts their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, they experience a great change going from death to life.

God’s creation was a great work, however God’s most important work was putting on flesh and descending to earth as a man and becoming a sacrifice for the sins of mankind that they may be saved.

There are people going to the most extraordinary places in the world and discovering wonderful things, however, they are not going to life, because only Jesus has life.

When one is asked the question who is Jesus? You get many different responses, but the true answer is that which Peter said, “You are the Son of the living God.”

We all accumulate debt in our lives and then comes the time to make the payment for that debt, and the same thing is true spiritually, as we have accumulated sin debt because of our iniquities and only the Lord Jesus Christ can make the payment for that sin debt. 

In our past we feared death and its power over us, however, after the Lord Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and rising from the death, He conquered death and death has no power over us.

Many ask the question of who was responsible for the death of the Lord Jesus Christ? Was it the Jews, was it the Romans? The honest answer is that it was each one of us and because of our sin nature we are all guilty of putting Jesus on the cross. 

There are many reasons that people die and some of those causes are cancer, heart disease and many other issues, however, the real cause of death in the world is sin but the remedy for that cause is the gift of God in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ because of His sacrifice on the cross. 

When one stops to take the time to look around at our world and observe the majestic beauty it reveals, they can only be in awe and wonder of the works of the Lord.

The idea of being alone can be scary for many people, however, when the Lord Jesus Christ calls people to judgment they are going to stand alone before the Lord to give an account for their life.

It is hard to believe that it delighted the Father to bruise His Son for the iniquities of us all as He knew that this was the only way He could accomplish His goal to save His people from their sins.

When the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross it was not elegant as He was humiliated, however, it pleased the Father that His Son willingly paid for the sins of humanity in order that they may spend eternity with Him in heaven.

So many people are scared at the thought of death and what will happen after they die, however, the good news of the Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the power of death and has given us His assurance that we will live forever in heaven.

Those who have put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be assured of the promise that He is coming back again for us so that where He is, we will be also for eternity.

As in the account of Lazarus, we also who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ shall rise again at the rapture to be with Him forever.

The Lord Jesus Christ spoke many things to many people, however, he was silent before His accusers.

Even though we were dirty rotten sinners and at war with the Lord Jesus Christ, He still loved us enough to pay our sin debts and cleanse us from our filthiness.

While those in the world are anxious and concerned about the worlds affairs, the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has contentment because he knows what will happen in the end.

When a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ hears God call and he responds to that call he does so because faith knows it’s the right thing to do.

When a person decides to follow the Lord Jesus Christ it can cause conflict with many, especially family and friends.

The world around us is in a sense of hopelessness today, yet when a sinner repents and turns to the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus he becomes full of hope for the present time and for the future.

Many people become discouraged and disillusioned in their faith when they don’t have their prayers answered and things don’t happen in their time, but the Lord Jesus Christ causes things to happen in His time.

The Lord Jesus Christ has our appointment schedule prepared for each day and what we consider interruptions He considers special divine appointments.

When the Jewish people see the Lord Jesus Christ as their messiah is when the world is going to see a great change.

The death of the Lord Jesus Christ was an example of true humility as the King of the Jews was brought very low.
