Good day. Today's video Forged in Fire is on the topic of: Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial that is to try (discipline, prove, tempt) you. We are forged in fire on a daily basis; whether it be chastening (correction) of the Lord for our good or temptations placed in our path by the enemy, our adversary the devil, or in tribulations, afflictions, and persecutions; how will we respond? Will we respond in the Spirit holding fast the profession of faith, seeking first the wisdom from above so we are able to rightly dividing the word of truth and discern between good and evil, that we may know where the fiery trial is coming from; or will we react in the flesh, leaning to our own understanding and wither in the time of trial, not knowing the truth of where the fiery trial is coming from? The trial of our faith works patience (constancy, endurance, patient continuance); so, let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting or lacking nothing (James 1:3-4). Character is forged not only in good times, but in times of trial (testing, proving, trustworthiness) as well; how are you going to handle the trials? And our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29); he wants to purify us through the truth, his word is truth; and his word is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). He will prove the thoughts and intents of our heart whether it be good or bad, for or against him; and he will bring correction for our good if we are willing and obedient to hear and receive it. Our Lord learned obedience by the things which he suffered (Hebrews 5:5-10) and it is the same for us. No chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised (trained) thereby (Hebrews 12:6-13). 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (KJV) So, brethren, we can patiently and faithfully endure all things through Christ who strengthens us and suffer for righteousness’ sake being forged in fire by God our Father for our good, or we can suffer for unrighteousness because we did not endure the fiery trials in faith and patience, and thus suffer the consequences, even that of being condemned to the lake of fire, eternal damnation; which fiery trial do you want to suffer for? God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video It's All Good is on the topic of: Everyone lies; It's all good in Christ when we accept and partake of all things that we have been given access too by and through Jesus Christ. Our Father through his Son has provided everything needed for our salvation. When you were born again you received the measure or fullness of the gift of Christ; nothing was left out, it was a complete anointing of the Holy Spirit given in earnest until our adoption into the family of God is finalized at the judgement seat of Christ. Do know this brethren, that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). As well as that in Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10). So, beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (Colossians 2:8). For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end (Hebrews 3:14). So, to all that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, it's all good. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video A Bill of Divorcement is on the topic of: Our relationship with the Lord is like a marriage, it requires love and commitment. We committed our life to God by accepting his Son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, and accepting his plan of salvation that he planned for us before the foundation of the world; and this spiritual relationship that we committed too is to be cherished and nourished on a daily basis; not just some of the time, but at all times (Matt 6:33, John 8:31-32). Salvation is based on spirit and truth, and we are to worship our Father in spirit and in truth for these are who he seeks to worship him. A relationship, like a marriage, should be based on love, commitment, truthfulness, trust, faithfulness, and sacrifice; such is salvation. We love the Lord because he first loved us; he laid down his life, and gave himself for us (Gal 1:3-5, Eph 5:25, 1Tim 2:5-6, Titus 2:11-14); and in turn we lay down our lives for him (Matt 16:24-26, Gal 2:20), and continue to die to the things of this world so that our relationship with him can become more intimate growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and all that we have been blessed with in him. Read Matthew 22:1-14 and John 15:1-11. If we are tempted by the thoughts and the ways of the world and act upon them, we have become unfaithful in our commitment to the Lord, and it will be considered spiritual fornication or adultery. If we are mixing our Christian character or manner of life with the world and its ways (1John 2:15-17) eventually we will end up coming to a crossroad and then we have to choose which one we will serve, the world or God, because the scriptures are clear, no man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other; you cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24); as well as we are to come out from among them, and be separate, and touch not the unclean thing and the Lord Almighty will receive us and be a Father unto us and we shall be his sons and daughters (2Cor 6:14-18). James 1:12-15 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (KJV) James 4:4-5 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? (KJV) James 4:4-5 You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover." And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. (from The Message by Eugene H. Peterson) We all have a choice daily to continue in our commitment with the Lord, in the faith, grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, by not conforming to this world; instead being transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God; or choose to divorce ourself from the plan of salvation by allowing sin to enter in and overtake us. But beware of the consequences of the latter choice… 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (KJV) Give heed dearly loved of our Father; keep yourself delivered from your sins and this present evil world, by continuing faithful in your commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ unto the praise, honor, and glory of God our Father. Because if you continue in spiritual fornication (adultery), you will find yourself with a bill of divorcement written and signed with the finger of God, and sealed with the ring of the King of kings and Lord of lords, and you shall not inherit the kingdom of God; and you will find that your name is blotted out of the book of life, and you will not be a part of the marriage feast of the Lamb (Rev 19:7-9) because you did not keep yourself unspotted from the world; and you will inherit the second death, eternal damnation with others, including the devil and his angels in the lake of fire. So, stay committed in your walk and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, and endure to the end in love and faithfulness. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video Oil and Water is on the topic of: Oil and water don't mix; neither do the ordinances of the old law and the new law of faith (Romans 3:27-28). Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. Many are still operating under the old law of ordinances which were fulfilled by Jesus Christ on our behalf. Salvation is by promise through faith by Jesus Christ, not by the works of the law which have been taken away, having been nailed to his cross. For by grace (John 1:17) we are saved through faith; and that not of ourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Romans 5:1-2 Galatians 3:1-29 O foolish Galatians (Christians), who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (KJV) We have been set free from the law of sin and death by Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2-4); we have been baptized into his death by faith in him apart from the works of the law that many still teach and practice as a doctrine and tradition; we are the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ, faith which works by love that we are willing to give our lives an offering to God being led by the Spirit of God in all manner of our life; we are the circumcision by faith in Jesus Christ, it is of the circumcision of the heart that we no longer serve in fear of the law of ordinances but serve in love the law of faith unto salvation. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Take Comfort is on the topic of: Take comfort in knowing that God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, the God of all comfort made a plan for your life before the foundation of the world. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (KJV) 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. (KJV) Our heavenly Father's will is that you might be delivered from this present evil world; he has made the way of escape through his Son; he has given you the truth that will make you free and keep you free indeed through his Son; and he has given you the record of the life, eternal life that is in his Son Jesus Christ, whom he sent. Jesus Christ came that you might have life and have it more abundantly; so take comfort in the fact that God before the foundation of the world made a very good plan of salvation for you personally as well as for the whosoever’s that accept salvation through his Son Jesus Christ and come into agreement with the way, the truth, and the life that he promised. Galatians 1:3-4 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (KJV) 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (KJV) John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (KJV) Having this comfort, trust in his plan of salvation for you and come into agreement with it so that when you are faced with troubles or afflictions for Christ’s sake you will be able to overcome all things through Christ who strengthens you, and comfort others as you have been comforted. And take comfort that our heavenly Father knows what you have need of before you ask. Our life should not consist in the abundance of things which we possess, it should consist in the abundance of all that our Father has given unto us in his Son; so seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness where your life in the Spirit consists, and all that you have need of in this life will be added unto you. Brethren where are you finding comfort? It is our heavenly Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom; and the kingdom of God is within you; so, ask, seek, and find your peace and comfort given unto you in Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Exceeding Expectations is on the topic of: The Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think; it is where grace abounds; where all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are revealed; where exceeding joy and abundant peace is; where there is health and safety spiritually and physically; where there is power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy; where there is life and life more abundantly; where unto us is given exceeding great and precious promises; where all of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; where we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; where we have received the measure (fullness) of the gift of Christ; where we have been given an unction from the Holy One and we know all things; whereby we have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; where without measure all these and more is available to all those who believe, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man/woman to profit. Our life is hid with Christ in God, exceeding expectations. 2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV) Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (KJV) God told Abraham "I am thy exceeding great reward" in Genesis 15:1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Do you believe God, that all of his promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen and that he loves you and sent his Son to die for you that you might be made the righteousness of God in him, and a partaker of the divine nature? Without faith it is impossible to please God. Jude 24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (KJV) Beloved brethren, we encourage you to walk in the Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, and remain seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of God, where all things are possible to those who believe. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Patient in Tribulation is on the topic of: Patient in tribulation. Our Lord Jesus Christ had his own trials, tribulations, and persecutions while here on this earth, even unto death, yet through all these things he committed himself unto God who is faithful and endured unto eternal life; and he has left us an example on how to persevere and overcome the world as he was tempted in all manner as we are yet he sinned not. How are going to handle the trials, tribulations, and persecutions that come with salvation; all those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Will you rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and continue instant in prayer so that you are able to respond in the Spirit, to hear the way of escape, or will you try to overcome on your own first, reacting in the flesh by leaning to your own understanding which is flawed and be overcome and the latter end is worse than the beginning? It is the trying of our faith (our trust and confidence in God and his plan of salvation that he planned for us personally from the foundation of the world, delivered unto us by and through Christ Jesus), that works patience (cheerful endurance, constancy, waiting); so, rejoice in the Lord always knowing he has your escape planned from the foundation of the world. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation (pressure, afflicted, anguish, trouble, persecution) worketh patience; And patience, experience (trustiness, tried character, proof); and experience, hope (expectation, confidence, faith): And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (KJV) 1 Peter 2:19-25 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (KJV) Will you be patient in tribulation and wait for the perfect gift from above, an answer on how to overcome, the way of escape, so that you are able to stand before the Lord Christ having done all to stand, being made the righteousness of God in him through faith? Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (KJV) This is where you will find the way of escape. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Beginning to End is on the topic of: From the beginning of your walk in the Spirit, being born again, are you continuing in the Spirit in your commitment with the Lord Jesus Christ who laid down his life for you? Or have you begun in the Spirit only to end up leaning back to your own understanding trying to perfect your walk by the flesh? Our relationship with the Lord is like a marriage; we made a commitment, giving our life to Jesus Christ, now are we remaining faithful or are we leaning back to the flesh trying to mix with the world and/or the traditions and doctrines of men, cheating on our commitment to the Lord; evil communications corrupt good morals. We are in this world, but when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour we are no longer of this world; our citizenship is in heaven where we are now seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of God, and who is our mediator. We should be holding fast the profession of faith from the beginning of our walk to the end of our walk with the Lord; continuing in the faith grounded and settled and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which was given to us through the one (Jesus Christ) who began in the Spirit, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We have a beginning in the Spirit by Jesus Christ; and we too for the joy that has been set before us should take up our own cross and follow him enduring unto the end of our faith where there is laid up for us a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give us at that day if we end in the Spirit and stand before him not having on our own righteousness which is as filthy rags, but having on the righteousness of God. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (KJV) From beginning to end choose you this day, for today is the day of salvation, if you will be led by the Spirit of God or be led by your carnal fleshly mind back into the world and its ways. From beginning to end, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; wouldn't that be a living testimony within us from beginning to end. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Safe and Sound is on the topic of: This study is on the word ""sound"". Psalm 119:80 Let my heart be sound (complete, whole, entire, without spot, perfect, sincere, undefiled, upright) in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed (KJV). Proverbs 14:30 A sound (health, healing, cure, deliverance, wholesome, yielding, medicine) heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones (KJV). Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole (sound, healthy, well). This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation (deliverance, safety, health, rescue) in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (to save, deliver, protect, preserve, be (make) whole) (KJV). Safe and sound in faith, in heart, in mind, in speech, in doctrine, in wisdom and understanding. It is only in Christ Jesus that we are able to operate in sound wisdom (substance, understanding) - the wisdom that comes from above that is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated (persuasion, compliant), full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy; and in complete soundness (entire, whole) - his name through faith in his name has made us strong, and by this faith we are able to stand perfect and complete in all the will of God before God our Father, without faith it is impossible to please him, and men; in a sound mind (discipline, self-control) - for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind; in sound speech and doctrine (healthy, true (in doctrine), whole) - In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us; for the time will come when many will not endure sound doctrine, so let us hold fast the faithful word as we have been taught, that we may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers (those who speak against, or who dispute, refuse, contradict, deny), by speaking the truth in love. Salvation has given us a new life to live being led of the Spirit of Christ within us; it has given us a new heart, new ears, new eyes, a new tongue, a new language (that being the language of spirit and of truth John 4:23-24), and a new Shepherd, Jesus Christ, whose voice we follow and not a strangers; so old things are passed away behold all things are become new. It is only in the Spirit that we are able to come to know the language of God which speaks to the heart and hear the voice (sound) of our Shepherd leading us in safety, and of God our Father to understand his correction and instruction in righteousness to overcome the world and stand before the judgement seat of Christ in righteousness and true holiness. Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day... (KJV). Listen, do you hear his voice; the still small voice of instruction and comfort, or as a trumpet of warning or correction, speaking to your heart? Give heed to his voice dear brethren in Christ, for it is salvation.

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video My Redeemer is on the topic of: The Lord Jesus Christ my redeemer, your redeemer, our redeemer. Jesus Christ paid the price with his life for our sins, (for we were carnal, sold under sin), not only ours but the sins of the whole world. God is no respecter of persons; John 3:16-17 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that "whosoever" believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (KJV). So you see that by grace (grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, the Son), we are saved through faith; God gave his Son, his grace and truth, Jesus Christ, who died for all, and those who have accepted him as their Lord and Savior, he has redeemed from a life of sin and bondage to the god of this world, satan. We are bought (redeemed = a ransom, a price paid for slaves, to purchase) with a price, and we are not our own, we are the Lord's purchased possession, and what a price he paid for each and every one of us, so let us not be the servants of men. For the riches of this world cannot redeem men and neither can men redeem men. Jesus Christ said I am the resurrection and the life, and I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man can come to the Father but by me; so, whether we live therefore or we die, we are the Lord's, he redeemed us, not men. 1 Peter 1:18-21 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. (KJV) This is how we were purchased, not with tithing 10 percent of our money, for we cannot buy our way into heaven. Our salvation by, through, and in Jesus Christ is a free gift and we freely have access to the riches of His grace, the true riches of wisdom and knowledge. I am dead, purchased by the precious blood of Christ, and my life is hid with Christ in God; my redeemer is Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. We pray that you also know Him as your Redeemer, and you are His purchased possession unto eternal life. Remember, we must die to live. God bless and keep the faith.
