GOD LOVES YOU
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him. HE HAS MADE A WAY FOR YOU AND I TO LIVE A LIFE WITH HIM. TO FREE US FROM SPIRITUAL DARKNESS.
Romans 10:9-10 “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” John 14:6 “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” HOW CAN WE LIVE A LIFE WITH HIM? HOW CAN WE BE FREE FROM SPIRITUAL DARKNESS?
11 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” ADMIT YOUR SINS TO GOD AND CHOOSE TO TURN AWAY FROM THEM. THEN ASK THE LORD FOR FORGIVENESS, AND HEWILL GIVE IT FREELY
James 4:7 “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” COMMITTING OURSELVES TO GOD IS TO OBEY HIM ABOVE ALL..WE MUST GIVE UP OUR OWN DESIRES, HOPES, ANDWANTS AND CHOOSE TO FOLLOW JESUSWHEREVER HE LEADS.
Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
GOD HEARS, GOD ANSWERS 1 John 5:14 “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF PRAYERS!
DEAR GOD, I HUMBLY COME BEFORE YOU CONFESSING ALL MY SINS AND STRUGGLES. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNSELFISH LOVE BY SENDING JESUS DOWN TO DIE FOR ME. PLEASE RENEW MY LIFE AS I COMMIT TO OBEYING YOUR WAYS AND GIVE ME THE COURAGE TO SHARE YOUR GOODNESS AND FAITHFULNESS TO ALL. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN. RESPONSE/PRAYER:
Titus 3:5 “He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.”
