Heavenly Home, Eternal Joy

No earthly home compares to our heavenly home prepared by Almighty God, no earthly joy rivals our eternal joy in Christ.  

Adopted by Grace...a great Plan A

Ephesians 1:5 says believers were predestined for adoption as sons - legal, legitimate, initiated by the Father. He did not choose the pick of the litter. He did not choose cute and cuddly. He chose wretched, poor, blind, destitute, needy sinners and made them holy and blameless in His sight. We didn't go up to Him and beg Him to adopt us, He chose us before creation. This was Plan A, settled before the world began.

Glorious Truths

Ephesians 1:3-14 highlights God's blessings in Christ for believers. These blessings are gifts of God's grace and the catalyst that inspires us to live to the praise of God's glory. They are the best possible 'family secrets' revealed to and known by only the elect. Those without Christ cannot know or understand because they are blinded by Satan and cannot see the light of the gospel. Those in Christ see by faith, though as through a clouded window or mirror, this side of heaven. One day we shall fully see these glorious truths in all their glory.

Jonah and Jesus

Jonah spent three days in the belly of a big fish because of his many sins. Jesus spent three days in the heart of the earth because of our many sins. Jonah was mercifully delivered and preached repentance to those far from God. Jesus rose from the dead and preached peace to us who were far off. His kindness leads us to repentance, His mercy saves our lives. 

Pomp, Circumstance and Jesus

You can dress a person in the fanciest clothes and give them the grandest titles, but at the end of the day they are simply a sinner in desperate need of God's grace in Christ.

You can prop yourself up with houses and cars and lands and friends, and you still are nothing and have nothing without Jesus.

We need Jesus more than air or food or water or shelter. Nothing will ever change that fact.

See the end of Romans 11 and all of John 15.

In Christ is life.

Go to Jesus when you sin

You will sin. Go to Jesus when you sin. Do not hide in shame. He restores, revives and heals what ails you. He puts you back on the high road to glory. There is forgiveness with Him.
