Sin Will Kill You...

ROMANS 6:23 NLT 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

 Sin will kill you. If you practice sin, it will pay you by destroying you.

 1 TIMOTHY 1:15 NLT 15 This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners".... Jesus came to save, or deliver, those caught in the trap of sin. He freely offers to all -- regardless of their sins -- the gift of forgiveness and life. Not just living, or even living forever. But the life of the Eternal One, life as God has it and enjoys it. Real life. Life that changes you inwardly. Life that will last. Life as God intended it to be.

 ROMANS 6:23 WEYMOUTH 23 For the wages paid by Sin are death; but God's free gift is the Life of the Ages bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord. It is not just because God hates sin, that sinners need to be saved. It is because sin is a killer. Sin destroys. Sin hurts people. God is against sin because He loves people. But God did not stop at being against sin without giving us an answer -- a way of escaping sin's clutches.

 ROMANS 5:8 BBE 8 But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us. Jesus died for sinners because we needed help. We were trapped in a very bad situation. Sin is deadly and destroys all that is good. Sinners desperately need deliverance -- even if they don't realize it. Just because sinners don't realize they are in bondage does not change reality. You could be driving at top speed down a highway and not realize the bridge ahead had been destroyed, but that would not change the outcome just because you didn't know the bridge was out. To fully realize the ramifications of sin, we need a bigger, more experienced viewpoint than the one we have. God realized our need and His great love compelled Him to offer us a solution. That solution is found in accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is God's solution to mankind's sin problem. Jesus is the Savior (Deliverer). Jesus is the One who sets us free from both the penalty and the bondage of sin, and all its effects. No matter who you are, if you have a problem with sin, look to Jesus for deliverance.



 SAY THIS: Sin pays death, but Jesus gives life. I choose Jesus.

welcome to my blog

Oh the waterfall of cleansing Grace! Welcome to my Grace blog.  I hope to both share and start a dialogue about Jesus Christ and how his life, relationships and teaching have a practical working value in our everyday lives. To go beyond our belief of Jesus... and into our belief in Jesus. I hope we can learn more about how the finished work of Christ on the cross empowers his work in us in our daily lives. I hope we can grow in His Grace and Wisdom! The name came from a Joseph Prince story in his book  "Destined to Reign"...here's the story: Prince tells the story of a young boy who found a rock out in the woods. Though it looked rough at first, he rinsed it in the small waterfall of a nearby stream. Turns out, the rock was marbly, smooth, and full of color. Not wanting to lose the rock, and afraid someone would take it from him if he took it home, he buried it back in the dirt in a tucked away place before he went home for the night. There, he left it. The ne...

... that saved a wretch like me.

my story is not much different from any other alcoholic or drug addict who is in recovery. we sought out a higher power because our Lives be came on manageable. through much self examination we came to understand our defects in character... we reached out to others for fellowship and mentoring. I, as many have, came to believe in Jesus as my higher power and five years ago I accepted Christ... I got into a church and started reading my Bible. I slowly developed a thirst for knowledge of God in His Word. my grandmother has been sending Christian books for years and I just shelved them, so I already had a decent size Christian library. I also be came a big watcher of Christian television. I tried out several different churches... looking for a place I could feel at home in. having had a big interest in philosophy and world religions in college, I had sampled from the religion buffet. I guess you could say I became ravenous with my new found faith. I read and listen to anything I could ge...

Giving Money Is One Way To Show Honor

PROVERBS 3:9-10 NKJ 9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. Giving money is not the only way to show honor, but it is one way. The word translated honor means to value. Honoring someone is a way of showing them, and others, that they are valuable to you. Scripture connects giving of money with honor. Specifically included are God, your parents, those who preach or teach the Word of God, and widows.  MATTHEW 15:4-6 NLT 4 For instance, God says, `Honor your father and mother,' and `Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.'" 5 But you say, `You don't need to honor your parents by caring for their needs if you give the money to God instead.' 6 And so, by your own tradition, you nullify the direct commandment of God.  1 TIMOTHY 5:17-18 NKJ 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double hono...
