“Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God”(John 1:12-13). How many times have you heard someone say, “We’re all God’s children.” Did you realize that’s not a true statement? Only a bo...

In Psalm 32:1-2 King David foresaw this and in Romans 7:15-24Paul explained it. Having admitted that try as he might he just couldn’t completely stop sinning,...

In Romans 3:20-24Paul explained that no one will be declared righteous by keeping the Law because the purpose of the Law was to make us conscious of our sinfulness.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Because of this, we can no longer be condemned for any reason. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him (John 3:17). Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes Him who sent me...
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is (1 John 3:2). At the moment of the rapture we will be instantaneously changed from mortal to immortal and what we are now by faith we will become in fact (1 Cor. 15:51-5...
As you can see, none of the above has come to us as a result of our behavior. As soon as we believed, it was accomplished in our lives as the free gift of God’s grace (Ephes. 2:8-9) and can never be reversed. We don’t know why God chose to make this act of His Grace such a polar opposite to His requirements of those who labored under the Law before...

Oct 12, 2024 · We can find comfort and confidence in knowing that God sees us as His marvelous creation. 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.””
- He Sees Us. From the two stories above, it is clear that God is watching the steps of our life and met these women in their brokenness. The same Lord that Hagar and the woman at the well encountered is the same Lord that sees us today.
- He Chose Us.
- He Knows Us. When the Samaritan woman went to tell others about Him, she said, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”
- He Hears Us. There are times when we cry out to God about the hidden things in life which go unseen by others but that cause us pain and struggle. We may be grieving, experiencing an abusive relationship, battling with a physical or mental illness, losing hope, caring for a loved one or something else that happens behind closed doors where the only audience is God.

Nov 8, 2020 · Paul provides the first of four main reasons believers are to praise God: because he chose us. God’s election is a theme throughout the Bible (Gen. 12:1–3; Deut. 7:6–8; 14:2).
