It was written for your encouragement!

The Bible teaches us about God, the history of His people and the plan of redemption among other things. The Bible was  also written for our instruction. Romans 15:4 (Amp) says: “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.” In other words, when we study God’s word, it will give us an overflowing hope and confidence in His promises. It encourages us during trials and tribulations. It encourages us when life’s circumstances attempt to discourage us. There is an answer for all of life’s challenges. In the midst of all the Memorial Day celebrations today, ask the Lord to give you insight and discernment as to what His word is saying, and watch how the Lord will open up your eyes to see what He is doing and your heart to understand what He is saying. In all of your celebrating, celebrate His goodness in the land of the living. This is the day that the Lord made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!. Happy Memorial Day!

Romans 15:4 (Amp) “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.”

The Lord Jesus confirmed God’s promises to you!

The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ was the confirmation of God’s promise to redeem mankind. Now, in Christ, all of God’s promises are yes and amen through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20 “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us”.

We can now access His grace because of what the Lord Jesus did for us. Hebrews 4:16 says “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” So remember during this Christmas season that God’s promises are yours, and you can rejoice in Him, no matter what you may experience in this lifetime. He has already redeemed you, and He is always with you, and not just during Christmas. Rejoice, Jesus was born, and that confirmed  His promise to you!

Romans 15:8 “Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers.
