All sufficiency for all Eternity!!!

All sufficiency for all Eternity!!!

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. Revelation 1:5-6

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin. I John 1:7

There is a fountain that will never run Dry, for all eternity! Indeed it is Christ's shed blood, and to drink from this fountain means I am cleansed and set free from my sins. It is such a cleansing fountain, that I can walk in a robe of white, that may Saviour provided for me!

Indeed, there is no other way! Jesus said it, I am the way the Truth and the Life, no one can come to the Father except through me" John 14:1, and no one can get rid of their sins except through Christ's Shed Blood and His Shed Blood Alone! His Blood Paid my Ransom in full; It was enough and sufficient for my life, and not only my life, but for every Child of God who has been granted Faith to believe in Him--All sufficiency for all Eternity!!! no matter the effort or great works that you do, you will always fall short of God's Glory. You cannot add to what He has done! Charles Spurgeon: "Either He bore all our sins, or none; and He either saves us once for all, or not at all."
I rest my case in the Eternal Son of GOD,in Him alone! there is no one else that will ever do!

The Fading Glory of Man Isaiah 40:6-8

The Fading Glory of Man:
Man’s glory is like the flowers of the field; their glory fades in the changing of the seasons. Their victories, their fame, their fortunes, their award ceremonies all fade into the back ground of black and white, of faded print and picture. The colors of the picture dimly shine and the print fades to white and gets drowned out in white, till you can barely see the once was: fame and glory.

A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8

He was Scarred for All Eternity, while I walk without Scars!John 20:27 Philippians 3:20-21

For All Eternity He Chose to bear the Marks of My Redemption In His Glorified Body!

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” John 20:27

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:20-21

I am broken with tears welling in my eyes! He will transform my lowly body to be like His glorious body—yet there is one difference, Jesus’ glorified body bears the marks of my redemption in His shed blood, His nail scarred hand and feet, His pierced side; just think, for all eternity I will be in the light of His joy in perfection and Holiness, and Christ for All eternity will have in His body the marks of my salvation. God the Son will have a scarred glorified body, but it will be scarred on my behalf for my Salvation, His hands, His feet and His pierced side—I cannot comprehend such unselfish love. I am undeserving of being transformed into the likeness of His glorified body, humbled and broken for all eternity that Christ should choose to have His glorified body scarred for all eternity--Incomprehensible! Humbling! Undeserving! Yet the Eternal Son of God in His Great Love for me, Chose to have His Glorified body Scarred for all Eternity, while I walk without Scars!

Moved to Repentance by the promise of God's Grace in Christ alone! Romans 3:19-26

Moved to Repentance by the promise of God's Grace in Christ alone! Romans 3:19-26
.by Joseph Valentini on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 12:29am.Moved to Repentance by the promise of God's Grace in Christ alone!

The purpose of the 10 Commandments was to show every person how utterly sinful and helpless we are; if we broke one commandment we broke it all. It was not given to earn our salvation, but it was given to render us helpless to perfectly obey it. Our repentance comes by God’s Grace in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:20 "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin."

John Calvin Said regarding the Grace of God and repentance: we are moved to repentance not by the threat of God’s law but by the promise of his grace. The threat of the law will only make us run from God, unless we know that he will receive us when we turn back to him in repentance.

“21 But now righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:21-24

The comfort of God’s Providential Care, not left to Chance!

The comfort of God’s Providential Care, not left to Chance!

Luke 12:6-7
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

Amen! God's providence truly means comfort for me; no matter the circumstance, indeed always to draw us closer to Christ! Indeed even the littlest detail of our life did not happen by chance! God is so great that even the littlest detail of our lives was directed by his providential will! The problem with the hardened hearts of some is that they do not see God in the details of their life, but rather chalk it up to chance. Oh, what a pitiful existence! To not see the comfort of God's divine Grace and providential care.

True Spirituality found in God’s Mercy, how can anyone Boast!

True Spirituality found in God’s Mercy, how can anyone Boast!

“He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit” Titus 3:5

It is not the achievements of man, not the dedication, not the devotion, not the persecution, not the suffering that makes one righteous, but my righteousness is found in Christ’s righteousness alone, according to God’s mercy and Grace that brings me to the throne of Grace and the nearness of my God.

My sense of closeness to God is not based on any efforts in me, nor is it based on comparison with another, so as to judge them as beneath me; for I am the lowest of all lows and most wretched, who can save me from this heart of unrighteousness? Thanks, be to God! through the Lord Jesus Christ;` my standing before the throne of Grace is sure and I delight in the Closeness of my heavenly Father. Therefore, there is no boasting in my natural self, and to that matter, in comparison to others, but my boast is found in Christ’s perfection and Holiness.

So a work of righteousness that judges others and compares oneself to others, is no righteousness at all! Where is boasting? There is none, I sacrifice it to my Lord.

And how I remember Christ’s words to me:
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye Matthew 7:1-5

The Eyes of God Are Everywere Proverbs 15:3

The eyes of the LORD are everywhere:

"The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good." Proverbs 15:3

There are those who live there life in the hardness of heart that they do not acknowledge the presence of God, and live ignoring God’s presence.
The problem with people today is they refuse to acknowledge their benevolent Creator involved in the details of their life.

The Problem with people today, is they do not think that the Lord sees the details of there life in whatever they do. They think that God is so far removed from them that they are blind to the intrinsic details of which God pays close attention to in their life. Hence, there blindness and daily declaration, “what does it matter, God does not see” yet it escapes there notice that the Seeing Eye of God (which is found in His Very Nature of Omniscience and omnipresence), will hold every person accountable for there actions. His Seeing Eye provides more detail than today’s technology of Video recording and picture taking.

"Though God's fingerprints are all over Creation, it is easy for us to ignore his presence. Even people who believe in God can often fall into a pattern of living as though God is nowhere nearby. When God Called Israel out of Egypt to be his people, he made clear that he wanted to dwell in their midst. God's presence meant life would be different for Israel. Their daily routines would be altered to remind them that they belonged to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Because Jesus fulfilled the entire Law the Old Testament(Matthew 5:17-18) Christians today do not need to practice the ceremonial customs that were given to the people through Moses. But in thankfulness for all that God has done for us in Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we practice walking with God by developing habits and routines that help us grow in our awareness of God's presence. "Bill Sytsma
Yet they do not see how far removed they put themselves away from God in the hardness of their hearts. That in their heart they declare there is no God.

They think that they had something to do with there existence without Acknowledging their benevolent Creator. Little do they know that God provides their daily sustenance, he causes the sun to shine on the good and the evil and His rain to fall on both. The difference is that the righteous live to glorify God in their lives and the wicked live to glorify themselves as self sufficient without giving glory to God for the help God provides them; in spite of their suppression of the truth to God’s existence in their lives.

There will be a point to he hardness of mans heart to God, that they will have filled the cup of God’s wrath without any hope of repentance. And in the end, their hearts become so hardened like a hardened criminal that they are so dead only to discover an eternal existence of torment without Christ.

John Gill writes of God’s Omniscience which underscores my point on this passage of Proverbs 15:3:

3. The eyes of the Lord [are] in every place ... Which are expressive of his omniscience, of the full, clear, distinct, and perfect knowledge, which he has of all creatures and things; so that nothing is hid from him, but all open and manifest to him; as they are to Christ the essential Word, Hebrews 4:13; and also of the providence of God with respect to all persons in general, and to his own people in particular; and as he is infinite and immense, omnipresent and in all places of the world, so his omniscience and providence reach everywhere, to places most distant and secret, and to persons in them, who cannot be concealed from him, since he fills heaven and earth, Jeremiah 23:23;

beholding the evil and the good; meaning not evil things and good things, though that is true; the one he beholds with dislike, the other with pleasure; but evil men and good men: he beholds them as from a watch tower, as the word {u} signifies, from above, from heaven, where he is; see Psalm 33:13. By "evil" men may be meant both profane sinners and carnal professors; such as are more openly wicked, and declare their sin, as Sodom, or more secretly so; he sees into all the wickedness there is in their hearts, all their secret devices against his people; the works done by them in the dark, as well as their more open ones; and his eyes are upon all of them, to bring them into judgment at the last day: his eyes are particularly on the proud, to abase them; such as are under a disguise of religion, and have a form of godliness, he has his eyes upon; he sees through all their disguises; he knows on what foot they took up their profession; he discerns between that and true grace; he sees how they retain their lusts with their profession; observes the springs and progress of their apostasy; and will fix his eyes on the man without a righteousness, not having on the wedding garment, and order him into outer darkness. He also beholds "good" men; he sees all their bad things, their sins, and corrects them for them; their good things, their graces, and the exercise of them; their good works, the fruits of his own grace; their weaknesses, and supports and strengthens them; their wants, and supplies them; their persons, and never withdraws his eyes from them: these are on them continually, to protect and defend them; nor will he leave them till he has brought them safe to heaven; see 1 Chronicles 16:9.
