The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. — Romans 6:23

 I was once facing death as a result of my sin, but when I put my faith in Jesus Christ, my debt was discharged (Rom. 4:7). I am debt-free and the punishment for those transgressions has been removed. It's an awesome sensation! 

Have you allowed Christ's righteousness to replace the sin penalty on your account? Get out of debt by accepting Jesus' payment for your sins!

Jesus satisfied a debt. He had no obligation to cover a debt that we were unable to pay. When we put our faith in Christ, we are forgiven of our sins and made clean inside because His blood is sufficient to cover the cost of every transgression.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. — Ephesians 4:32

 The most powerful tool Christians have in their toolbox of virtues is undoubtedly kindness. However, even if it does not result in a reconciliation, as it did with those two employees, it is still the appropriate course of action. We are to imitate Christ no matter how we are treated (Eph. 4:32). 

Oh, for the ability to love others as much as God has loved us for Christ's sake!

Need a relationship to be fixed up? Try being kind. Lord, please give me the same compassion and forgiveness that You have shown me in response to the sins I have committed.

Ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. — Jeremiah 6:16

 Some parts of society consider those of us who think that God has absolute moral standards to be simpleton intolerant. It is advised that we refrain from criticizing certain immoral actions.

Amazing parallels exist between the situation we are in today and the one Jeremiah faced 2,600 years ago. The populace was shameless. They didn't blush at any perversion. Even the religious authorities participated in this awful situation! 

However, Jeremiah declared God's wrath and foretold impending divine judgment. The prophet urged people to follow the "old paths, where the good way is" (v. 16), i.e., the paths of repentance and submission to God. 

When Jesus welcomed people who "labor and are heavy laden" to come to Him (Matthew 11:28), He demonstrated the right path for us to follow. He also assured us that His "yoke is easy" and "burden is light" (v. 30).

Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. — Mark 8:34

 This inclination is not exclusive to Christians. Some persuasive preachers encourage leading a "abundant life" of success and prosperity by optimistic thinking, increased religious fervor, or financial contributions in exchange for God's blessing. 

Naturally, the Bible instructs us to think optimistically (Philippians 4:8) and to give generously (2 Corinthians 8:2). However, a lot of "prosperity preaching" is devoid of the sustaining realities of Christ's atoning death for sin and His call to godly living. In addition to being loving, good, and generous, our God is also just, holy, and strict. He detests sin and won't make a deal with evil.

While hearing about the benefits Christ brings is excellent, we also need to practice repentance and self-denial. A well-rounded meal that incorporates the difficult truths of taking up one's cross and following Christ is preferable to a cafeteria-style Christianity, as stated in Mark 8:34. Such sustenance promotes the development of spiritual strength and Christlike character. And do you realize how much I need that?

[Jehoshaphat] walked in all the ways of his father Asa. — 1 Kings 22:43

 According to the statement that Jehoshaphat "walked in all the ways of his father Asa" (22:43), Jehoshaphat must have inherited Asa's devotion to God (1 Ki. 15:11). 

We need to point our kids to Christ and exhort them to make Him Lord of their lives. However, it will enable them to "run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Heb. 12:1), even if it never brings them fame like a famous athlete. And the only competition that counts is that one.

Spend time with your kids, but don't just spend it; invest it. Take an honest look in the mirror and think about your child—he deserves your time and attention. How would you respond to the Lord if He asked you, "What kind of a parent are you?"

We love Him because He first loved us. — 1 John 4:19

 Understanding the extent of God's love for us is difficult. We are unable to comprehend how undeserving we are and how unconditional His love is because of our pride and fear.

God, however, does not love us because He thinks we deserve it. He accepts us as we are and still loves us. According to First John 4:10, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son." We are confident that God will always love us because of what Jesus Christ has accomplished for us. That straightforward reality demolish our egos and vanquishes our fears.

Looking for the love of God? Keep your eyes on Jesus. My soul is still in awe of such love—love so immense, so abundant, and so unrestricted!
Say, "Why, O Lord, such love to me?" while filled with holiness and awe.

Though the fig tree may not blossom, . . . yet I will rejoice in the Lord. — Habakkuk 3:17-18

 The strength of our convictions is revealed by how we respond in court. This is not to argue that a sincere Christian will not cry when a loved one passes away. We should not "sorrow as others who have no hope" (1 Thess. 4:13) since we know that all believers who pass away enter Christ's presence. We can pray, "Thank You, Lord," because we know He will act in the best interest of everybody. Well put by the prophet, "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines;... yet I will rejoice in the Lord" (Hab. 3:17–18).

For those who have faith in Christ, the best is yet to come. Those who experience life's pain frequently emit the greatest scent because they truly believe in God's immense love and choose to stay in it.

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys. — Matthew 6:20

 What a test for followers of a Master who willingly left the ivory halls of glory and had nothing to call His own on earth (Matthew 8:20). 

Do we genuinely care about those who are in need of the Bread of Life, those who, barring hearing and accepting the gospel, will not have an eternal home? 

We should be grateful for everything God has given us. Let's act like caring folks.

Everyone who shares is someone who cares. Help us, Lord, to live faithfully, kindly, and truthfully; Jesus, bless our meager offering so that others may discover You.

Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering. — Colossians 3:12

 The apostle Paul instructed Christ-followers to don a new uniform in Colossians 3. He began by explaining the clothing we are to "put off" (vv. 8–9). He then described the type of uniform we must "put on" (vv. 12–14). We are to put on mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forbearance, and love in lieu of rage, invective, slander, foul language, and lying. 

When someone possesses these qualities, most people react favorably. Their regard increases. With this kind of individual, they behave and speak differently. They pay attention to what he says, respect his authority, and are drawn to the God he stands for. 

It makes a tremendous difference what you're wearing. Therefore, ask yourself: Do I have my spiritual outfit on?

Before you tell them, can others see that Christ is in you? Lord, help me to live so that people may see the love of Christ exposed in me, and assist me in escaping all sin and disgrace so that others won't laugh at Your precious name.

Shepherd the flock of God . . . , not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you. — 1 Peter 5:2-3

 Both the military and the church can use this leadership tenet. Pastors who are autocratic and unreasonable will eventually drive people away with their harsh methods. People ought to be given respectful attention and treated with respect. 

When writing to some of the early church's leaders, Peter recognized this and said, "Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:2-3). Peter had shared a home with Jesus and had witnessed His style of rule. It possessed the authority of a constant example and was forceful, kind, and respectful.

Whatever our level of authority, "pulling power" has a better probability of being effective than the push of authoritative demands. Pushing may result in outward obedience, but effective leadership cultivates an inner desire to follow due to what is observed in the leader's life.

In addition to knowing the route, a good leader also paves it. Those who walk humbly with God walk the roads of leadership; their generous spirit has an influence that compels us to follow them.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. — Titus 2:11

 The Bible says that we are currently in the age of grace. Because God does not want anybody to die, He is delaying the execution of His judgment. However, the time of grace will abruptly end one day, and it will be necessary to "pay the fine" for the price of sin. 

We must confess our wickedness to God in this time of grace and place our faith in Jesus Christ, who has already paid the full price for our transgression. However, the "grace period" will be finished and we shall be punished for our sin if we pass away without accepting Christ as our Savior or if He returns and we have rejected Him.

Have you requested Jesus Christ to be your Savior and the provider of sins' forgiveness? If not, move quickly. When the grace period will end is a mystery.

God's offer of saving grace is only valid for a short period of time.
Don't count on tomorrow.
Jesus is asking you to follow Him right now with what is being presented to you, so don't hesitate.

Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You . . . have prepared for those who trust in You. — Psalm 31:19

 We can develop our faith in God. When we do, we learn that God is trustworthy. Everything starts with giving up.

Trust in God's goodness results from faith in God's Word and submission to his will.

Trust Him when your strength is weak, when your darkest doubts attack you, and when it seems like the hardest thing of all to just trust Him.

I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. — Philippians 4:11

 Paul had discovered that one joy—the delight of knowing and serving the Lord Jesus Christ—as evidenced by his epistle to the Philippians. He was now able to concentrate on what was actually crucial. 

I'm curious about the apostle's statements. Could I honestly say that I have a healthy indifference for the situation? (Phil. 4:11). How frequently do I celebrate the Lord? (4:4). Do I devote my life in service to Christ with the thought that it would be more preferable to pass on and be with Him? (1:21-23). 

When you put Christ first, you experience lasting joy. Lord Jesus, you are the only one who can truly offer joy because you understand the anguish that exists in the human heart. You came from glory to seek and save people, and out of love for sinners, you endured a cross once for sin.
