The Promise of the Gift of Salvation

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Romans 10:8-10 (NIV)

God is the Strength of My Heart

“When my heart was grieved 
    and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant; 
    I was a brute beast before you.

Yet I am always with you; 
    you hold me by my right hand.

You guide me with your counsel, 
    and afterward you will take me into glory.

Whom have I in heaven but you? 
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail, 
    but God is the strength of my heart 
    and my portion forever.”

Psalm 73:21-26 (NIV)

God is Truth and He Loves You

“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

1 Timothy 1:15-17 (NIV)

Knowledge is a Double-edged Sword

“NOW ABOUT food offered to idols: of course we know that all of us possess knowledge [concerning these matters. Yet mere] knowledge causes people to be puffed up (to bear themselves loftily and be proud), but love (affection and goodwill and benevolence) edifies and builds up and encourages one to grow [to his full stature].”

1 Corinthians 8:1 (Amplified)

We’re Called to Reflect His Holiness

“So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed.

[Live] as children of obedience [to God]; do not conform yourselves to the evil desires [that governed you] in your former ignorance [when you did not know the requirements of the Gospel].

But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living.

For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

1 Peter 1:13-16 (Amplified Bible)

CHANGE always begins with us first

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

Globalisation of God’s Word

“This same Good News (Gospel) that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.”

Colossians 1:6 (New Living Translation)
