Accept The Gift

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Obviously, the greatest miracle of all, salvation is a gift. We can't work out our good work or to fulfill all religious requirement to be right with God. It is a gift. What we can do is to accept the gift. The fulfillment of the law had been accomplished by Jesus at the cross. With the completed work at the cross, an divine exchange had taken place and Christians are made righteous.

With this perfect gift comes health and prosperity. With this perfect gift comes healthy relationship with loved ones. With this perfect gift comes peace of the heart and a sound mind. With this perfect gift comes all things working for good of a Christian.

Accept the perfect gift freely, without any justification on our side. For it is Christ who justifies us to be right with God. It is Christ who sacrificed His body for us to have robust health. It is Christ who was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty might be made rich. It is Christ who was left alone on the cross and proclaimed that His disciple John had His mother as his mother. It is Christ who bequeathed His peace before His crucification for us to have perfect peace of heart. It is Christ who had given us a sound mind for his mind was tortured on our behalf. For His perfect love had casted out all fear in our lives.

Freely received what God had freely given as a gift. Accept the gift freely. Rejoice in the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross. Hallelujah!

God has given us power, love and a sound mind

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

When we are griped with fear or depression, take heart, for they didn't come from God. We can be comforted that God has given us a spirit of power, love and a sound mind.

God has already given us the spirit of power. Use that power to believe unto Jesus and His finished work at the cross. When we meditate on the truth of the His word, there will be power rising up from within and strength to deal with the challenges of life.

God has already given us the spirit of love. When we focus on the finished work at the cross, we will experience the love of God for us. We can love for God first love us. He sent Jesus to be the sacrificial lamb of our behalf so that we are plentifully provided for.

God has already given us the spirit of sound mind. Jesus had bequeathed His peace to us. This is not worldly peace but the peace that come from the understanding that God is in control. There is nothing that He will not do for a Christian to turn his/her into a masterpiece which reflects the glory of Jesus.

Be at rest when the devil "roar" at you. He had been de-toothed. He goes around seeking whom he can devour. He can't devour a Christian who is restful within.

Use the spirit of power, love and a sound mind in all our situations. Relax and see the wonderful working miracles of God. Hallelujah!
