For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11

O death, where is your sting?”

All things in heaven, earth, around, within, without, condemn me—
the sun which sees my misdeeds,
the darkness which is light to thee,
the cruel accuser who justly charges me,
the good angels who have been provoked to leave me,
thy countenance which scans my secret sins,
thy righteous law, thy holy Word,
my sin-soiled conscience, my private and public life,
my neighbours, myself—
all write dark things against me.
I deny them not, frame no excuse, but confess, ‘Father, I have sinned’;
Yet still I live, and fly repenting to thy oustretched arms;
thou wilt not cast me off, for Jesus brings me near,
thou wilt not condemn me, for he died in my stead,
thou wilt not mark my mountains of sin, for he levelled all,
and his beauty covers my deformities.
O my God, I bid farewell to sin by clinging to his cross,
hiding in his wounds, and sheltering in his side.

"Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!"

Yes, Christ rose that we would be with our Maker, to glorify Him forever and behold His beauty for eternity. And the gateway to be with our Father is through physical death. 🙌❤️

Are you struggling between doing the things that God hates and not doing the things that glorifies Him?

You are not alone my friend. I've been struggling with that and will continue to until my last breath. Like Paul, all I can say is "Wretched man that I am!
Who will deliver me from this body of death?"
My fellow sojourners, we have hope! We may struggle now, but thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, these will all pass.

Maranatha! 🙌

We are not our own!

Believers are bought with the precious blood of the spotless Lamb of God — Jesus Christ.

Thus, we ought not to forget that our time, resources, and everything we have are not to give satisfaction to the cravings of our sinful flesh, but to glorify the Father who, before the foundation of the world chose us.

There is no such thing as "mortal" & "venial" sin. Everything that contradicts to God's holy attribute is considered a sin. Sins are sins whether great or small. And a white lie is nothing less than murder.

Deep understanding of sin results in a great need of a redeemer.

The Lord is immutable ­— it is impossible for His character or being to undergo any mutation. His power cannot be augmented or diminished. He never learns or forgets, and He cannot be anything other than perfectly holy.

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned-
[13] for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.
[14] Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
Romans 5:12-14

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
[4] even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
[5] he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
[6] to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
[7] In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
[8] which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
[9] making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ
[10] as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
Ephesians 1:3-10

There is no greater message to be heard than that which we call the gospel. But as important as that is, it is often given to massive distortions or over simplifications. People think they're preaching the gospel to you when they tell you, 'you can have a purpose to your life', or that 'you can have meaning to your life', or that 'you can have a personal relationship with Jesus.' All of those things are true, and they're all important, but they don't get to the heart of the gospel.

The gospel is called the 'good news' because it addresses the most serious problem that you and I have as human beings, and that problem is simply this: God is holy and He is just, and I'm not. And at the end of my life, I'm going to stand before a just and holy God, and I'll be judged. And I'll be judged either on the basis of my own righteousness–or lack of it–or the righteousness of another. The good news of the gospel is that Jesus lived a life of perfect righteousness, of perfect obedience to God, not for His own well being but for His people. He has done for me what I couldn't possibly do for myself. But not only has He lived that life of perfect obedience, He offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to satisfy the justice and the righteousness of God.

This is a cry brought about by a deep realization of indwelling sin. It is the confession of one who knows that in his natural man they dwelleth no good thing. It is the mournful plaint of one who has discovered something of the horrible sink of iniquity which is in his own heart. It is the groan of a divinely enlightened man who hates himself—his natural self—and longs for deliverance.
