Saved FOR Good Works, Not BY Good Works
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” – Eph. 2:10
We are saved FOR good works, not BY good works.
Calm, Part 1: Be Calm
“Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted,” – Isa. 7:4
The Christian attitude is marked by calm; a settled inner repose of quiet unaffected by circumstances.
Ignorant and Going Astray
“He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray,” – Heb. 5:2a
Jesus deals gently with struggling believers.
Tell That Poor Wretch
“If you meet that poor wretch that thrust the spear into My side, tell him there is another way, a better way; of coming to My heart, if he will repent, and look upon Whom he has pierced and will mourn.
I will cherish him in that very bosom he has wounded; he shall find the blood he shed an ample atonement for the sin of shedding it.
And tell him from Me, he will put Me to more pain and displeasure by refusing this offer of My blood, than when he drew it forth.” – Benjamin Grosvenor (1675-1758) “The Temper of Jesus Christ towards His Enemies, and His Grace to the Chief of Sinners.”
I Make Them My Jewels
“’They shall be Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.‘”- Mal. 3:17
Believers are God’s possession; He made us and we are His jewels.
He Will Guide You Into All Truth
“When He, the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.” – Jesus (John 16:13)
Without the Holy Spirit we are without a guide, wandering in the dark, and could never arrive at the truth.
He Will Teach You
“But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name–He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” – John 14:26
Without the Holy Spirit, we are untaught, unlearned, uneducated.
Call Sinners To Repentance
“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” – Jesus (Luke 5:32)
The wonder of Christ’s grace.
I Live By Faith
“I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me!” – Gal. 2:20
There is no other way to live.
“Those people who will not be governed by God, will be ruled by tyrants.” – William Penn 1644-1718
