God so dearly love us...

 Romans 5:5

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.

The hope of salvation will not disappoint. Our hope that is anchored in the Lord, is not in vain, for God loves us; He dearly loves us. He loves us so much that He gives us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love. This means, when we have the Holy Spirit in us, we are filled with God's love, which is so great we cannot even explain. One bible verse that seeks to show how much He loves us, is in the book of John 3:16 that tells us that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son to die for our sins. Another description of His great love is in the book of Romans 5:8 and it says: "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This means His love for us didn't begin when we found salvation, but whilst we were still sinners, God gave His Son to die for us. That's how much He loved us! How much more does He love us, now that we follow Jesus?

May we never be tricked out of God's love by the enemy. If God loved you whilst you were still a sinner, it means He will still love you now even when you fail, don't get things right, make mistakes etc. We must not distance ourselves from God where we have fallen short, instead we must go to Him, with boldness as the bible says that we are His righteousness. We must get our help to get back up from Him. Admit our failures and ask for help to do better. God is more than willing to say the words that Jesus told to the woman who was caught in adultery, in John 8:11: “...And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” God doesn't want to condemn us, but He does want us to sin no more. That's how much He loves us.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
