John 8:36, NIV
God will give you a chance to experience freedom. If you receive Him in your life, you will no longer be enslaved by your sins. If you truly treat Him as your Savior and King, then you will live a righteous life in His arms. The Holy Spirit will empower you to do the right thing. He will transform your heart and make it new. In such a way, the pleasures of this world can no longer easily tempt you. They will no longer appear as attractive in your eyes because your heart is now focused on doing His will. Following God is not easy, but it will lead you…

John 8:34, NIV
This is the reason why we need a savior. Humans as we are, we tend to commit sins that violate God’s law. We need His grace to help us live this life with freedom. We are still slaves to sin as long as we continue to live according to our selfish nature. This is the reason why Jesus needed to step down and carry our punishments. We can’t simply purify our hearts according to our own will and understanding. His blood alone can set us free from condemnation. It’s not about our own efforts and will. It will never be enough. We need divine intervention, and Jesus did it for…

John 8: 32, NIV
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32, NIV God’s truth will set you free. This world will give you understanding that will somehow change how you see your life. It may appear harmless, but as you walk along the journey, your principles will be tested. You will experience a situation that requires so much faith, and that’s when you will realize that there are still so many things that you must learn. The unexpected circumstances will open your eyes to the wisdom that only God can give. So don’t rely on what you discovered in this world. Seek God and let His…

John 8:24, NIV
I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 8:24, NIV Jesus is the Messiah. He is the one who can rescue us from eternal condemnation. We need to remember that we are all sinners, and we can never save ourselves. God is holy, and He is just. Every sin requires punishment, and Jesus took that cup so that we would be saved. Those who believe in Him will receive His undeserving grace. He will call them His people, and He will reign in their lives. So don’t rely on your own…

John 8: 12, NIV
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12, NIV If you feel like you are walking in the darkness right now, then call upon Jesus. He is the light of this world. People tend to focus on other things and somehow treat temporary treasures as their source of hope. But always keep this in mind; Jesus is the light that we are looking for. He alone can lead us to better days. So instead of relying on your own understanding and on the wealth of…

Luke 19 :1-4, NIV
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he [Zacchaeus] ran ahead and climbed a sycamore- fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. Luke 19: 1-4, NIV Zacchaeus was viewed as a terrible sinner during his time. His work as a chief tax collector is almost equivalent to a corrupt politician in our days. People despised his ways, and he was treated as an outcast because of that. Despite his wealth…

John 8:7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7, NIV The crowd presented this adulterous woman to Jesus and tried to condemn her. During that time, a person who is caught in the act of adultery will be stoned and put to death. But instead of doing such a thing, Jesus asked those who are pure and imperfect to cast the first stone. The truth is, only our Savior has the right to condemn and judge because He is the only one who is pure and…

John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. John 7:38, NIV If you are thirsty and weary, if your soul is craving for things that this world can’t provide, then come to Jesus. He is the only one who can satisfy your thirst. In Him, you will receive living water. He will take away the emptiness in your heart and give you reasons to live. This world may give you temporary treasures, but God is the only one who can make you whole. So instead of focusing on gaining wealth that will only last for a lifetime, choose to fix your…

John 7:5
For even his own brothers did not believe in him. John 7:5, NIV Jesus’ brothers didn’t believe in Him. He worked so many miracles. He was followed by so many people. He healed the sick and performed signs and wonders. Thousands of followers long to listen to Him, but then His family here on earth didn’t trust Him enough. You see, even Jesus experienced persecutions from His own brothers. Many times, the people who are closest to us tend to doubt the things that God is doing in our lives. When that happens, just remember that Jesus also went through the same pain. Yet He didn’t stop. He kept on…

Day 489 – John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” John 6:51, NIV Jesus is the bread of life. Whoever believes in Him will be given a chance to live forever. Our savior offered His life so that we will live with Him even throughout eternity. So if you feel down and so empty inside, then come to Jesus. Let Him satisfy the hunger of your soul. He alone can quench the thirst in your heart. The riches of this world may temporarily give you pleasure, but it…
