But hope does not disappoint

But hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has come in, overflowing our hearts by The Spirit of Holiness Who has been given to us.-Romans 5:5

In this Christmas time, do not forget the love of God that brought his son Jesus Christ to Earth to give us hope and remind us of God's promise of forgiveness to us. Be glad of the most costly present this Christmas which was not wrapped in fancy wrapping paper but in the most simple swaddling cloth.

The best present this and every Christmas ! - Romans 6:23

Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Have you unwrapped your present yet ?
This gift remains unopened unless you make the move to accept and unwrap it.
Have a safe and Happy New Year !

Romans 8:29 It is only through His power that we can ever be set on a right path of being ...

We must never even hint that repentance is determined by what we believe is "right" outward behavior. Repentance is always a condition of the heart, and doing right in the eyes of God is only accomplished by allowing His Spirit to transform us into a "new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17). It is only through His power that we can ever be set on a right path of being "conformed to the likeness of His Son" (Romans 8:29).

What we do is never enough. We can never do enough "good works" to redeem ourselves from all the wrongs and evil thoughts that we have done. Only God's grace can redeem us. Similarly we cannot resist all the temptations the world has to offer by ourselves. Only through God's guidance will we be able to move in the right direction and every day we need to look to him for his strength and guidance.

Romans 14:11 As surely as I live, says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me;

Romans 14:11 (New International Version, ©2011)


11 “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,

‘every knee will bow before me;

every tongue will acknowledge God.’”

This is Easter let us renew our work to be closer to this.

The day will come when this will come to pass.

Romans 6:2-4 "We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer"

Romans 6:2-4


"We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."

The weight of sin weighs heavy. The only way to lift this burden is to pass it to God and gain forgiveness. Do this and gain a new life. A new start without past baggage.

A great price was paid to redeem us. It is for us to recognise this gift and take up this opportunity for a new life.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death...

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Man this is one of the scariest passages in the Bible and yet the most assuring.
The extremes of life and death.
Only God can save you for human nature is to sin
There is nothing that you do, will be perfect.
The pull in many directions will lead you to sin in some way or another.
Sometimes there are things you need to accept and work with
Once you figure out that you cannot do it alone then you need to reach out to God for assistance.
Rest assured that there will always be a hand reaching back down to you.
Thats the greatest gift you can expect.
Reach out...

Romans 14:8 Live or Die

"If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord."

— Romans 14:8 (NIV)

When you just do not know how to say it....

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."

— Romans 8:26 (NIV)
