Justified by Faith

Romans 5:1-2  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  (2)  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Do you have PEACE?

Psalms 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.


Peace, safety, calmness, salvation....these all go together.....

The above photo is of a beautiful sunset in front of our house....we live with many big, old trees around us, so there was a lot of tree limbs in the way of the sunset, but still the awesome colors shone through.

When I thought about all this, (the trees in the way of the sunset) it reminded me of all the problems and troubles that seem to get in the way of our everyday life....but, still, in spite of all of the troubles, God's peace and promises still shine though, like the colors of the sunset.  If you are saved, you can understand about the awesome peace that we have from the salvation that we received through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
If you are not saved, I invite you to receive this wonderful gift that God gives us.  All it takes is to trust in Jesus and the work that He has done on the cross....give your life to Him and you will begin to see how wonderful it is to be saved and to receive this peace that only salvation can provide.
For more information on salvation, there is a great blog that explains God's plan for our lives and how we can live our life with the peace we receive through His promises and His gift of salvation.  Click on this link http://settledinheaven.wordpress.com/
You can also start by reading the Bible or attending a Bible believing church.  When you start reading the Bible, start with the gospels...the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John....these are great places to start.
Another great place to get information on salvation is here http://www.intouch.org/resources/content/topic/how_well_do_you_know_god   read this link, but also look around this website http://www.intouch.org/  ....Pastor Charles Stanley teaches on many subjects....it's a wonderful site.

If you have any questions on this posting or salvation, I would be glad to try and answer.

God Provides....

Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (26) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (27) Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? .........

(28) And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (29) And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (30) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (31) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (32) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. (33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.




Open your heart to Jesus Christ, seek His kingdom and walk in His ways.....and He will provide for you the things that are needed.

Thank you, Lord, for providing for us, even though we don't deserve it.  Thank you for Your Grace and Mercy.
