Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
No one receives God’s approval by obeying the law’s standards since, “The person who has God’s approval will live by faith.”
Galatians 3:11 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
The ‘Law” was given by Moses to show that we can’t possibly follow it. The only way to live right is by following the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The boy Samuel was serving the LORD under Eli. In those days a prophecy from the LORD was rare; visions were infrequent.
– 1 Samuel 3:1 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
If adults aren’t available to listen to the voice of God then He has no problem talking through kids!
You mortals, the LORD has told you what is good. This is what the LORD requires from you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to live humbly with your God.
– Micah 6:8 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
You prove your loyalty to God by living right and not by making “religious” sacrifices.
I will plant My people in the land. Those who are not loved I will call My loved ones. Those who are not My people I will call My people. Then they will say, ‘You are our God!'”
– Hosea 2:23 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Even when we were far away from God He still wanted us.
Those who are under the control of the corrupt nature can’t please God.
– Romans 8:8 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Your sinful flesh will never want to do what God wants. Knowing that, take control of yourself!
The LORD is merciful, compassionate, patient, and always ready to forgive.
– Psalm 145:8 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
You can mess up a million times and never exhaust God’s love for you.
I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.
– Jeremiah 29:11 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
God’s plans for your life are more awesome than you can conceive of!
But I will always have hope. I will praise You more and more.
-Psalm 71:14 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
No matter what you go through never stop praising Him and keep hope alive!
You fool! Do you have to be shown that faith which does nothing is useless?
– James 2:20 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
What good is it to say “I believe” if your life doesn’t show it?
The Jews said to Jesus, “You’re not even fifty years old. How could you have seen Abraham?” Jesus told them, “I can guarantee this truth: Before Abraham was ever born, I am.” Then some of the Jews picked up stones to throw at Jesus.
– John 8:57-59a (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Jesus knew He was God. No other religion’s “prophet” made such a claim.
