“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Sin, an enemy of God, brought into this world by the fall of man alienating us from the presence of God. We who walked with God in the garden were separated, the perfect relationship and cord that linked us unto God severed away. So man descended upon sin, 
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
  — Genesis 6:5 (KJV)
So God brought deliverance unto Noah by a vessel of wood, a boat of salvation.
Many years later human population increases, but our hearts and mind are weak, easily going into sin “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
  — Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV)
“This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.”
  — Ecclesiastes 9:3 (KJV)

In all this we were lost, but God is Merciful, just, kind and long-suffering, He saw we can never save ourselves, and no amount of animal sacrifice would blot out our sins, He initiated a plan to save us.
Isaiah came and spoke of a savior, salvation was now in picture in the plan of God, John came preparing a way for the lamb of God, finally Jesus was here, to bear our burden “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
  — Matthew 11:30 (KJV)
To die for us, to justify us who were wicked
“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.”
  — Proverbs 17:15 (KJV)
He became a curse that we may be a blessing, he bore our sins, became a mediator for us with God, that by one man salvation was restored and we got the adoption of sons.
Romans 5 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁹ Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
¹¹ And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Therefore we should abound more in the grace, seek Jesus, leaving the old life behind. Acts 2 shows us the way of salvation
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
  — Acts 2:38 (KJV)
 
Let us walk in the path of faith and obedience, bearing fruits, dwelling in repentance and relying on the spirit of God.

The self professing church.

It's unbelievable that though its among the last days, the so called church  and believers need more work to be done on them than the world. The world needs to hear and believe the gospel for their salvation, the self righteous Christian needs a different grace, a renewal of who he is in the kingdom. Titus 1 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁵ Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Scripture dictates that without faith we can't please God, yet so many people are becoming faithless, every one seeking their own righteousness, living far from scripture, far from christ, far from the Holy spirit, all have strayed from the pulpit to the least.  In Titus 1:16 it states that many profess with their mouths of knowing God yet they deny Him, now lets access what...

Blessed are the undefiled

“ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.”   — Psalms 119:1 (KJV) Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk upon the way of the Lord, in this text we can come to understand that along the way men tend to be defiled by the many things of life, when they walk in the counsel of their mind. So we are going to see what defilement causes and what areas are affected  Defile - Means to be foul, contaminated, pollute or unclean.  Uncleanness can be subjected into three aspects  1 physical 2 Soul 3 Spiritual  Physical The body is the host that sustains both the soul and the spirit, every realm has a rule that governs it and for this realm of earth it is important that to be of relevance one need to have a body. Satan entered the body of the serpent to trick man, Jesus Christ needed a body to be relevant on this earth, if He had descended from heaven in His God nature am sure men would have run from Him. God partners wit...

Serving Faithfully

Lk 16:15 *And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.* The above scripture gives us a snap of what is happening in the World nowadays, even the believers' are under the gin without them knowing, spiritual Life style nowadays is full striking results. Where is Holiness nowadays? People are moving using their own fables and fancies, to maintain what is perfect before God is no more, peter said in *2peter 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy*, why don't we esteem what is good before our Supreme Being *(Shaper)*? The convoy of believers' today is full contempt conversation before Almighty God. We are dwelling on entities that are highly esteemed by men, yet we hamper ourselves with our fancies' claiming and boasting out that we're okay, the prophet of God Isaiah said 30:*Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD,...
