“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” Ephesians 6:15 (KJV) God did not save you just so that you will go to heaven. Your salvation is relevant now for the kingdom. Christ gave us eternal life and He is the life-giver. When we receive Christ and become like Him, we are also called to be givers of life or dispensers of...

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 (KJV) God has testified that He has given us eternal life.

“Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace!” Ephesians 2:5 (TPT) You have a great future ahead of you.

“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” Ephesians 2:5 (KJV) You always need to arm yourself with the truth so that your faith can be grounded.

“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!” Ephesians 2:4-5 (NLT) Christianity is not what you do to be acceptable to God, but what God did for us to...

“And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,” Ephesians 2:1-2 (NKJV) What makes you a sinner is not because you sinned. What makes you a sinner is that you are...

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,” 1 Corinthians 15:51 (KJV) Today, let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die; but we will all be transformed. We will be changed and it will happen in the blink of an eye when the last trumpet is blown. When the trumpet sounds, those...

“And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. But if we...

“Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” Romans 8:18 (NLT) This world is spiraling downwards. It is decaying and it is headed for destruction.
