As we are entering a New Year of 2016, we need to weigh carefully our resolutes
to make a descion that will have a future value to our soul from our life here on earth.
Becuase I do believe we have a future life and hope in Jesus Christ our Lord.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins
of the whole world. (1John2:2 )
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. (Rom3:25)
He is God's gift for us, (Rom.6:23) "For the wages of sin is death, but the the gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The time is short! What were you focusing your life to? Did you make a decision
to received Him in your life? Do not Him, God is ready to accept you the minute
you invite Him into your heart. God will not disappoint you, God will rescue you
and forgive you. God is a God of mercy, love, patience and kind. (2Cor.6:2)
"If you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
(Heb.3:15)
Consider the time..."The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber,
because our salvation is nearer now that what we first believed.
The night is nearly over, the day is almost here. (Rom.13:11)
We may also remember the remarkable preaching of Jonathan Edwards as a warning
for poor sinners: "Now God stands ready to pity you, this is a day of mercy,
you may cry now with some encouragement of obtaining mercy; but when once
the day of mercy is past, our most lamentable and dolorous cries and shrieks will be
in vain, you will be wholly lost and thrown away of God, as to any regard to your
welfare; God will have no other use to put you to, but only to suffer misery,
you shall be continued in being to no other end; for you will be a vessel wrath fitted
to destruction, and there will be no other use of this vessel, but only to be filled full
of wrath: God will be so far from pitying you when you cry to him, that 'tis said he
will only laugh and mock."
(Prov.1:25-26)
So do you believe that there is heaven and hell? If you do not want to spend
your soul to everlasting torment, it is reserved to those who rejects this message.
There is no other salvation on earth that can rescue us, in Christ Jesus you will
be saved. (Acts4:12)
Don't let the grace of God passed by you! And you'll be sorry begging. There is
no second chances. After we die we will face judgment, and it is a fearful thing to fall
into the hands of the Living God. (Heb.9:23,10:31)
Creating an atmosphere where we can all learn together as we continue growing in God's knowledge so that we can live a victorious life as we abide in Him...finding new treasure each day. Follow me on my Instagram account helen_schasteen eternity_no_othersavior_Jesus

God's Gracious Covenat of Peace/ A Blessings To All
God renewed a covenant with his people Israel through Moses before entering
the promised land that God had promised to their ancestors.
"You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God,
a covenant the Lord is making with you this day and sealing with an oath,
to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you
and as he swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I am making this covenant, with its oath, not only with you who are standing here
with us today in the presence of the Lord our God but also with those
WHO ARE NOT HERE TODAY.
Not only God had spoken to his people Israel about the promised that they will be
God's people, but also to us all, who will also inherit this blessings given to Abraham.
"I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky
and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities
of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,
because you have obeyed me. (Gen.22:17,Gal.3:7-9,26-29,4:28-31)
Paul clearly stated that covenant promised for us all.
(Rom.4:10-12)
Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised,
or before? It was not after, but before! And he received circumcision as a sign,
a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.
So then, he is the father of all who believe but not have been circumcised,
in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised
but also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before
he was circumcised.
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise
that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes
by faith. Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace
and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are
of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham.
He is the father of us all. As it is written: "I have made you a father of many
nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed.
(v.13,16-17)
This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." The words "it was
credited to him" were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom
God will credit righteousness--for us who believe in him who raised Jesus
our Lord from the dead.
He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
(v.22-25 read also Rom.9:22-26)
You see, we are in God's mind; God continued to provide a way for bringing us
to himself not only for his people Israel but also for us...who are the outsiders.
(uncircumcised, Gentiles)
And to restore what Satan had stolen in the beginning when God created Adam
and Eve and disobeyed God in the garden; our relationship with God.
This could only be received if we believe in God and believe in his Son Jesus Christ
whom God sent for us, John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God
does not have life. (1John5:12)

Worthy is the Lamb
When I was reading 1Samuel 6:20 it says, "Who can stand in the presence
of the Lord, this holy God?
The words rang into my ears and led me to looked up Revelation 5
"Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"
But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll
or look inside. (v.2-5)
Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep!" See, the Lion of the tribe
of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll
and its seven seals."
Wow! What a great passage of the Scripture is this! Another mystery word
in reference to Jesus Christ!
Revelation 5:9, And they sing a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,
because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men
for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (v.12)
Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest!
Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and
again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down
at the right hand of God. Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made
his footstool, because by the one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those
who are being made holy. (Hebrew 10:11-14)
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but we have one who has been temped in every way,
just as we are--yet was without sin.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Heb.4:14-16)

The Feeding of Thousands...The Bread of Life!
Rerun my favorite scene of Jesus of Nazareth, when Jesus feeds the five thousands...
and Mary Magdalene came to see who Jesus was that she heard from among her people.
Mary has desperate needs. She is tired of her old lifestyle, she wants to escaped from
the shameful ways of her livelihood. She gave up hope of making her life better or
anything good will come out of Israel. People judged and ridiculed her.
So she showed up to see who Jesus was.When she saw Jesus and His miracles
of feeding the people with fish and bread she breakdown in tears and overjoyed.
At last, she found Him, the hope and the life that only Jesus can fill.
She clings to Jesus all the rest of her life.
What a great example of a woman like her! She found her Lord and Master.
You can watch this part of the video, you tube of Jesus of Nazareth, most of you
have seen this film.

Jesus did not judge her. He forgave her. God looks at the heart!
Jesus said, "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance."
And Jesus will do the same for you and me. Remember the time when you
received Him?
What you had been through before receiving Jesus Christ into your heart...
only what matters to God is your heart!
He is the Bread of Life...God's provided redemption fulfillment, the "manna"
symbolized Jesus Christ, the Bread of God.
The Israelites when they came out of Egypt and pitched their tents and camped
at the desert, see Exodus 16:4,13-15
In John 6:32-35, Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses
who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true
bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.
They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them,
'I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
May you have a blessed Easter and fruitful life in Him and to celebrate Jesus'
life and his death for delivering us from our sins to give us this gift of eternal life!
