Roman 6:23, NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23, NIV We will end up in grave because of the sins that we committed. Sometimes, this is not about physical death, but the moment we sin in the eyes of God, our souls are also dying. Sin is like a great wall that hinders us from connecting to God. It separates us from His presence. But the good news is, God gave us an expensive gift that saved us from eternal condemnation. And it is through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice on the cross, we are…

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…

Romans 3:23, NIV
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3: 23, NIV We all fall short of the glory of God. Sin is in our blood. No one is righteous apart from those who believe in Jesus. This is the reason why we need God’s salvation. We need the grace of God to redeem us, and we can only experience it in the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Apart from Him, we will never experience real life. It’s Him who can lead us to eternity. Our good deeds and…

There is no such thing as “Self-made” Christian
If you call yourself a Christian, then it means that you are no longer the god of your life. Instead, you treat Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. You abide in His ways and obey His commands. You depend on His love and not on your own strength. You no longer live according to your own understanding. Instead, you choose to rely on what God is saying. That’s what being a Christian is all about. It means that you are no longer on your own. You allow the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you along the journey. So if you think that you are who you are right…

Acts 26:22-24, NIV
But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen— that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.” At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane.” Acts 26: 22-24, NIV Paul was an intelligent person. He knew what was written in the law, and He was even part of the people who…

Acts 2:38, NIV
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38, NIV This is how you will receive the Holy Spirit in your life. First, you need to repent. It means that you need to change the way you think. Align your thoughts and principles according to God’s will. Allow His precious blood to purify your soul. After that, you need to be baptize in the name of Jesus Christ. Receive His forgiveness. Make a decision to walk away from your old and sinful life. Choose to…

Day 486 – John 5:24
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

You are meant to Experience the Kind of Love that Never Fails
The love that other people can give will never satisfy you. Yes, it will make you happy for a moment, but it will never last. Only the unfailing love of God can satisfy the thirst you have inside.

Because whether you like it or not, they will eventually disappoint you. Choose to focus on God, and He will exceed your expectations. He will stay faithful to you, and He will love you from the inside out. Just open your heart…

Day 19 -1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16, NIV Sometimes, love is about sacrifice. It’s giving the selfish desires of our hearts so that others can live. It’s offering our lives so that we can serve those people who badly need some help, just like what Jesus did on the cross. He sacrificed everything just to show us His marvelous love. That’s what love feels like. It’s always intentional, and it takes a strong commitment. It’s not easy to do it, especially when we just rely…
