I still have the 'crud' and will not go around folks any more than necessary , don't want to be a typhoid Charlie . I didn't go to church today and I'm missing that . But I have taken time to re access or think . One of the topics I dwelled on with myself was what I take for granted and I take a lot for granted .
Verse was one of those things taken for granted .
John 3;16
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.
I picked this and other verses . It's not that I take it for granted but I need to constantly refresh myself as to the unbelievable importance of it . We at times become so use to seeing , hearing and quoting that it can all run together when one verse can be so life changing and profound . Many times we use verse pointing at others needs not realizing the verse should build us and refresh us at the same time keeping us on track .
Romans 10;9
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Brother Albert's Roman Road thread made me stop and think . So much scripture to live by , so much explanation given . All simple but up to us to build a life on . Our Lord Jesus Christ the son of GOD came to live among us to teach and live by example . His suffering , death and resurrection assures each of us salvation and eternal life through belief in him .
Romans 5;9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Ephesians 2;1-10
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
For myself I plan on revisiting much verse to rekindle , refresh and glean insight how that particular verse is working in my life . I most likely will have to make some corrections .
Thank you for putting up with me . I pray everyone has a good Sunday and a great week coming up ! Ya'll know I love you .
