I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt Thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Psalms 16:7-10)
Those of us in Christ, who have received Him and forgiveness of our sIn through the blood of Jesus Christ, rejoice; not in ourselves, or anything we have done, but in Him. We give all the glory and praise to our GOD, for it is His work and will that is being accomplished in and through us.
Again, I say rejoice, for He is worthy. His love provided not just mercy, but justice, and for those that receive Him, grace and holiness in Christ. Our journey began the moment we believed, and will not end, for we rest in Him and fellowship with Him now and always.
We trust His Word, praise the Name of Jesus, and proclaim Him to the nations because of who He is, and what He has done. Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, willingly and humbly stepped out of Heaven and became a man, and went obediently to a cruel roman cross, betrayed by His own, but doing the will of His Father, to pay the price for our sIn that we could not pay. GOD has judged us all as guilty before Him, but He is not willing that any should perish, but wants you to come to the knowledge of the Truth.
The Truth that Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He has said, you must be born again. He offers you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Believe Him and receive His forgiveness that you too may rejoice in His power to save to the uttermost. He is our Blessed Hope, and He is waiting for you to respond in faith in His finished work for you today.
In Christ,
