Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, {14} I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14
JESUS LIVES. PERIOD!
JESUS, Thank YOU FOR YOUR TRIUMPHANT CROSS AND VICTORIOUS RESURRECTION, ENABLING Us who believe in YOUR PRECIOUS SHED BLOOD, FOR THE REMOVAL AND FORGIVENESS of our sins, to become new creatures or creations, thus putting our sinful past's behind {2 CORINTHIANS 5:17}. HALLELUJAH! FATHER GOD, In JESUS'S HOLY NAME, this seems to, at times, be very difficult and more easier said than done. However, I know that YOU Would not have put PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14 into the BIBLICAL WRIT if this was something that, THROUGH YOU {PHILIPPIANS 4:13}, we could not accomplish. But, thank YOU JESUS, that through YOU, we can do ALL things! HALLELUJAH!
JESUS, There have been many trials and temptations thus far in my young life, and I know they will continue until the day I'm called up into Glory, however, I know that through YOU, JESUS, YOU'VE ALWAYS In the past, and in this present, and future have and will make an escape for me {1 CORINTHIANS 10:13}; and that escape is by the "measure of faith" YOU Have afforded us {ROMANS 12:3}.
JESUS, I understand that that "Faith-filled" Escape looks differently for everyone of us who Trust, Rely and Believe (JEREMIAH 17:7 - HOLY BIBLE - AMPLIFIED VERSION) on YOUR HOLY NAME, however, I believe that our escaping temptation, is a direct result of YOUR FAITH, and at times the "Faith" YOU'VE GIVEN TO AND INSTILLED in us. JESUS, THROUGH The "Great Faith {SAINT MATTHEW 15:28}" YOU have so graciously GIVEN unto us, as well as the "Mustard Seed Faith {SAINT MARK 4:30-32}", we exhibit, we have more than enough strength to not only flee from our past sins, iniquities, mistakes, and transgressions, knowing that we ARE Forgiven and Saved {SAINT JOHN 3:16-17, ROMANS 10;9, 13}, but we also possess the necessary "grit" to, with our pasts now past, to accomplish all the GOD-GIVEN, JESUS CHRIST-GLORIFYING, goals, dreams, aspirations, and visions {HABAKKUK 2:2} ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD HAS SO PURPOSEFULLY PLACED WITHIN Our hearts, souls, minds, and spirits. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. AMEN {1 JOHN 5:21}."
THE SALVATION MANDATE
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17
for "All who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." - The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans Chapter 10 Verse 13 - {JESUS, YOU ARE Our LORD AND GOD - SAINT JOHN 20:28}.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - The Epistle {Letter} of Paul the Apostle to the Romans 10:9
