Romans 6:11,NIV
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6: 11, NIV If you believe that Jesus died and rose in the grave to save you, then you ought to live a new life with Him. You are already dead to sin, just as Jesus died on the cross. Stop living in the darkness. Instead, choose to follow the ways of God. Jesus will lead you to experience the fullness of this life. Stay in His presence and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit so that you will always be guided. Let the grace that Jesus poured out on the…

Your Fears will lead you to Build Big Walls around your Heart
The pain that you experienced in the past will create fear in your heart. If you don’t properly go through the healing process, you will always build walls to protect yourself. This is the reason why you need to face your fears. It’s not an easy thing to do because it’s heartbreaking, but you will only experience true freedom the moment your wounds are healed. You won’t be able to receive love if you keep on trying to remember the pain. Instead of enjoying what God prepared for you, the fears that you are carrying will negatively affect the way you look at God’s blessings. Not only that but your…

Romans 5:19, NIV
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19, NIV We are made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. He chose to follow his own will. Because of this one man, sin is now flowing through our blood. This is the reason why nobody is perfect. No matter how much we try to do good things, we still can’t help but embrace our identity as a sinner. Because of this, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ. And through His obedience, we are made righteous. It’s His blood…

Romans 5:8, NIV
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8, NIV Jesus didn’t die to save the righteous. He offered His life even when we were still sinners. He didn’t wait for us to change for Him to sacrifice Himself. This is how big His love is. He accepted us not because of our deeds and own efforts but because He treasures us for who we are. Jesus Christ already died for you even before you were born. You are already loved even before you realize what love is. So if you feel like nobody wants to be with…

Give yourself the Chance to Change
There is still hope. You can still see changes in your life. All you need to do is give yourself a chance to try and take small steps one at a time. Change won’t happen if you won’t cooperate. No matter how much God wants you to experience new things, still, He will acknowledge your freedom to make decisions. He will move through the things that are happening around you, but He won’t usually intervene against your free will. He will present certain situations that will give you the opportunity to change into a better person, but it’s up to you if you will abide in Him or not. That’s…

Romans 5:3-4, NIV
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5: 3-4, NIV You can glorify God even in the midst of suffering. If you will just remain faithful to Him, the difficulties that you experience will produce perseverance, and that perseverance will develop your character, and that character will lead you to greater hope. So if God allowed you to go through some struggles, then don’t take it as something that is against Him. He is just giving you the opportunity to grow and prosper. You may not appreciate what He allowed you to experience for…

Romans 4:20-21, NIV
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he has promised. Romans 4: 20-21, NIV This verse refers to Abraham. God promised to give Him a son, but Abraham needed to wait for so long to see this promise fulfilled. He was 100 years old when God granted Him, Isaac. But in those long years, Abraham’s faith remained strong. He didn’t waiver or lose hope. He firmly believed that God would give him a son. He knows in His heart that the God he believed…

Romans 4:13, NIV
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. Romans 4: 13, NIV It’s all about faith. You need to accept the truth that it’s not about following the law or making an effort so that Jesus will notice you. He already loved you even before you knew Him, and all you need to do is receive Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. The promises of God are always available. Abraham and his offspring received them not by following the law but by having faith in Jesus.…

Never Rely on your own Thoughts
Humans have limited understanding. We have so much to learn. This is the reason why we should never rely on our thoughts. Just because something is in our minds doesn’t mean it’s the truth. We need to carefully assess them first and align them according to the ways of God. Please do not depend on your own judgment. You need to learn how to weigh things first, and the Holy Spirit can absolutely help you. Seek His wisdom and before you fully believe in your thoughts, filter them first according to God’s principles; only then will you be guided. This is very important simply because your thoughts will affect your…
