Today's Scripture

Ephesians 2:8-10 
 8   For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


Comments:  Our salvation is only by the grace of God, not anything that we do.  While we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly.  He died for us while were yet sinners not when we were righteous.  Herein lies the love of God.  There is nothing a person can do to obtain salvation; it is on the basis of what Christ did on the cross and that alone that we are saved.  Trying to obtain salvation by any other means is an insult to what God had done in the person of Christ Jesus.
If we refuse Jesus Christ, we refuse the work he has done for us.  (Salvation then cannot be obtained).
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For there is salvation in none other but Jesus Christ.  The grace of God is birth out of his love for us.  (Grace proceeds from love). 
Grace cannot be obtained through works and it cannot be purchased.  Grace is freely given and must be freely received.
I pray that those who don't know Jesus will accept the free gift of salvation offered by God through his Son today, it is the passport to Heaven where all who accept Jesus Christ as savior of their lives will dwell with him forever and ever.

The peace of God guard your hearts and mind now and forever.

OH NO, THIS IS NOT HIM. The Messiah was crucified in Jerusalem between AD 30 and AD 34 in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:9. He was born in Bethlehem the City of David in fulfillment of Micah 5:2. He rode a donkey into Jerusalem in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. He rose from the dead in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:10. His name is Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Christ). How many of those prophecies did you fulfilled?

"Li-shu-'a-te-cha kiv-vi-ti Yah-weh."

Looking for the coming of Jesus You read that and your mind might go right to the Rapture of the Church and jn part you are right to do so, but am going to look at the Old Testament expectation of Jesus. "Jesus" is an English rendition (transliteration) of the Greek name Iēsous, which is a translation of his original Hebrew name, Yeshua (Joshua). In other word, when Mary called her son, she dis not say, "come here Jesus," she would say, "Come here Yeshua." The first place Jesus's (Yeshua's) name is mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis 49:18.  "I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." (   "לִישׁוּעָתְךָ קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה׃.") Notice it is only three Hebrew words, "Li-shu-'a-te-cha kiv-vi-ti Yah-weh." Breakdown Li-shu-a-te-cha - "For your salvation" kiv-vi-ti - "I have waited" Yah-weh - LORD (all Capital) In the word "Li-shu-a-te-cha" is the name Yeshua. L- (לְ): Prefix meaning "to...

The Lord thy God

Talking Jesus "The Lord thy God." Matthew 22:35-37 KJVS Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,  36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. What can we learn from the answer Jesus gave to this lawyer? The question was. "Which is the great commandment in the law?"  Jesus told him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." I want to examine the phrase, "the LORD thy God, but focus more on the title "Lord."  The Greek word for Lord is kurios. It refers to a person exercising absolute ownership rights, such as a master, owner, or supreme authority, and is used over 700 times in the New Testament to refer to God or Jesus. Here is the foundational Old Testament reference verse. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD ...
