We follow or become like what we worship/glorify. If we follow vanity, we become vain (Jer 2:5; 2Kngs 17:15; Rom 1:21-32).

The gospel message is powerful to save our souls and transform our lives! Rom 1:1-17.

Mankind has no way to accomplish righteousness or freedom from unrighteousness, on our own (Rom 1:18-3:8). The gospel is the revelation of God's solution for our unrighteousness and its dominion over sinners.

The gospel regarding Jesus, deals with our greatest problem, unrighteousness and its solution. We must hear its message. Rom 1:16-17; 2:16; Acts 17:31; Rom 3:9; 6:14

Righteousness is the requirement for fellowship with God. Righteousness is available to us - there is no better news for sinners! Rom 1:16-17

The word of God will guide lives sustain our hearts! God grant us eyes to see the wonderful things in Your word, in Jesus' name we pray.

Our love for Christ calls us to live humbly and unafraid! (Jn 21)

The power of truth is available to those willing to come into the light and see clearly God's purpose for them (Jn 3:19-21; 8:12; Col 1:13; Rom 5:21).

Remembering to focus on what we seek will keep us from being distracted by our plans and our failures. Keeping our eyes on Him will see us through the hard things of life (Jn 1:1-18; Jn 21).

By Jesus' resurrection, God has confirmed the deity of His Son, the sufficiency of His sacrifice and declared Jesus' defeat of death, bringing life and immortality to light. (2Tim 1:10; Jn 20)

We may want many things in life, but we must remember to evaluate what are we sacrificing and will it be worth it, in the end?

John plainly tells us that human effort is not the source of eternal life. Jesus brings life, trusting Him is our access to that life in His name.

The value of truth is bound up in the things it regards. The thing of greatest value for us is our souls, because they are not temporary. Therefore, the confidence we get from the truth concerning our souls is priceless! (Jn 1:1-18 and Jn 14-17)

The recorded miracles of Jesus are a call to see Him as He is and give absolute evidence of His authority. If you do not hear the message of His authority, you will not find life in His name. (Deut 18:14-19; Jn 1:10-13; 15:18-26)

God's economy meets the requirements of His righteousness. Jesus has become for us our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. He alone can bring sinners to a righteous Father.

The Spirit inspired message given the apostles of Jesus can change our minds and bring us faith in Him.

The Bible reveals God's system of redemption. While God's word gives laws to confirm what is right and what is wrong, it alone reveals God's system of redemption made available to you in Jesus Christ. (Jn 14; Isa 43)

In Christ, we are brought into a place of standing, sacrifice, blessing and purpose; it is God's love (John 1:1-18; 1 Cor 13).

Jesus' journey to the cross, the grave, death itself, and His subsequent Resurrection, and Ascension to the Throne of His Kingdom paved the way to the Father. This journey also gave the Father the right to send the Holy Spirit to come in Jesus' name to the apostles. The Spirit, the Comforter, Who was promised to them(Jn 14:26; 16:13), came just as Jesus promised and brought them the truth...

The True Vine, Jesus, is our source of life, and Him, who is called Faithful and True is the conquering Conqueror on our behalf (Rev 19:11-13; Jer 2; Isa 5; Jn 15).

God wants to give us life, eternal life, a fruitful life, in His Son, Jesus. It is ours if we will choose it. God's love has given us the right to it! Let's pray we all take Him up on the offer (Jn 15).

Of all that God has made, God's place prepared for us is the greatest in this life. God has made a place for us to have and enjoy eternal life, the place is His Son, Jesus Christ. (Jn 14)

Life sometimes can be an exhausting roller coaster, disheveling our thoughts and hearts. Often, we may think our faith is failing us. The apostles faced real life as they followed Jesus. We can take encouragement from His words to them. (Jn 14 -16)

Are we willing for Jesus to touch us, to reach our souls? Php 3:10-12
