Day 48 – Concluding Affirmations...

Day 48 –

Concluding

Affirmations...

Part of accepting your life as a Believer includes accepting your spirituality. It also includes accepting the testimony of God and his ability to give our spiritual bodies another chance of living physically upon the new earth promised in Revelation 21:1-4. Apostle John said our Father God has given us a promise of eternal life, but we must believe it exists and accept it with confidence. “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:11-12 NIV- More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_john/5.htm And in Revelation 21 @ http://biblehub.com/niv/revelation/21.htm

Concluding Affirmations

13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask— we know that we have what we asked of him. 16If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life.

I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. 17All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. 18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19We know that we are children of God and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. 1 John 5 NIV @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_john/5.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/1_john/5-13.htm Plus at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/commentaries/1_john/5-13.htm

*Special Affirmation

– As a Believer, my Father God blesses me with eternal life after I repent and stops committing sins. My Father God blesses because I believe in the gift provided by the gift of salvation and he specifically blesses me for believing that it exists and for fully accepting it with confidence. My Father God sees that I have faith in Him and He will reward me for my faith and keep me safe. As a Believer, my Father God blesses me because I am His child so He honors the prayers that I offer for other Believers who have not committed a sin that leads to death, and He forgives them and also gives them life after they repent and also, accept the gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ.

If We Ask, God Hears Us

by Steve Zeisler

“…There are two main ideas in the passage before us. One has to do with confidence in the presence of God. The other has to do with confidence, or being unthreatened, in the presence of the evil one. First John 5:13-21… Confidence in prayer - John's point is to strengthen those who believe so that they can live lives filled with confidence and vitality. He begins by talking about prayer, or a life lived in God's presence: “approaching God." John gives us a wonderful description of the life of prayer---prayer that is not entered into grudgingly, foolishly, or fearfully; prayer that we do not shy away from because we're unsure of whether we'll be heard...” Read John 5:13-21 @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_john/5.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/1_john/5-13.htm Plus at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/commentaries/1_john/5-13.htm

God Listens

by Kingdom World Ministries

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us (I John 5:14). Our biggest problem relates to what has been instilled into our belief system over the years. It has been impressed upon us that we are to come humbly before God to make our request know to him. And it has been impressed upon us that we are less than what we truly are, for we are not worthy to come before God for any reason. And it has been impressed upon us to relate to

God as the slave related to the slave owner in the days of slavery. You see the slave would beg for and then accept whatever crumbs fell from the master’s table. But we are here to tell you that because of the new covenant, you have a Father-to-child relationship and not a Master-to-slave (servant) relationship. And as a child of God, you already know modesty, humbleness, and respectfulness. And as a child of God, you do not have to beg to have your prayers heard or answered. As a child of God, you have a right to come boldly to the throne of God, stand there bravely in the presence of the Almighty, and find grace to help you in your times of need (Hebrews 4:14-16)…” More Commentary for John 5:14 @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_john/5.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ https://biblehub.com/niv/1_john/5.htm Plus at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/commentaries/1_john/5-13.htm And for Hebrews 4:14-16 @

Day 40 – Faith Brings Joy

Day 40 –

Faith Brings Joy

Keep the Faith As A Christian Believer, God, and Jesus Christ is Our Physical and Spiritual Rock!!! Keep Moving with Trust in God and the Holy Godhead (*Trinity) which Includes God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit! Since We Are Justified By His Blood We Have Peace With God Because Of What Jesus Christ Our Lord Has Done For Us. Embrace the Beauty in You as You Embrace the Beauty in Everything Else... Keep Moving...

*The Trinity @ http://www.gotquestions.org/Trinity-Bible.html

Faith Brings Joy

1Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. 3We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. 6When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 9And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 10For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.11So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because of our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

“Study of Romans, Chapter 5 Faith Brings Joy”

By Mary Hudak-Collins

“Joy, the feeling of great pleasure and happiness; a feeling of delight, bliss, jubilation, gladness, rejoicing, triumph, exhilaration, and exuberance… Through our faith in God, we receive great joy. Romans 5:1-2 [says] “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” In Chapter 4, Paul proved that circumcision and following the law was nothing more than an outward profession of a Jew’s faith in God, but was not necessary for salvation as was shown in Abraham’s life. Paul begins to outline the benefits of our justification, beginning with peace. This does not necessarily mean that this is a feeling but indicates that we have been reconciled with God. We no longer have sin in our life that blocks a personal relationship with God. This peace is a direct result of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins…” More Commentary @ http://livingthescripture.com/2014/02/09/study-romans-chapter-5-faith-brings-joy/ And for Romans Chapter 4 – Justified by Faith @ http://livingthescripture.com/2014/02/05/study-romans-chapter-4-justification-faith-illustrated/

Day 36 – Jesus Prayed for Himself, His Disciples and All Believers…

Day 36 – Jesus Prayed for Himself, His Disciples, and All Believers…

“Believers and followers of GOD have access to that power and knowing (knowledge). A believer and follower should be worry-free. What is the point of worrying? GOD has a plan already, all we have to do is follow His directions, and we will be free from worrying about all the negativity in the world. JESUS prayed for us before He was crucified at Calvary. He prayed for Himself, His Disciples, and Future Believers. There is no reason for anyone professing to be CHRIST like (**Christian) to be living painful and negative lives. We have been blessed with everything that we need to be successful whether we are rich or poor (financially challenged); in good health or have an illness; employed or unemployed; etc., etc., etc. In GOD and JESUS CHRISTS’ eyes, we are all created equally sinful and in need of GOD’S gift of JESUS CHRIST and the Holy Spirit to survive in the world’s daily turmoil of daily living. Praise GOD!”

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6“I have revealed you^a to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of^b your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by^c that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. 13“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify them by^d the truth; your word is truth.18As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you^e known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them. John 17 NIV @ http://biblehub.com/niv/john/17.htm

*Special Affirmation – As a Believer, my Father God blesses me because Jesus as my Savior and Propitiation, Mediator, and Healer has already prayed for me. My Father God sees what I am doing, and He will reward me for my faith because of his love for me and Jesus Christ.

Day 31 – The Supremacy of Christ

Day 31 –

The Supremacy of Christ…

“Christ in his human nature is the visible discovery of the invisible God, and he that hath seen Him hath seen the Father... He was born or begotten before all the creation, before any creature was made; which is the Scripture way of representing eternity, and by which the eternity of God is represented to us.” Complete Passage of Matthew Henry’s Commentary on Colossians 1:15-23 of the Supremacy of Christ @ http://biblehub.com/colossians/1-15.htm

The Scriptural Basis for the Supremacy of Christ

The Supremacy of

[Christ] the Son of God

15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. Colossians 1:15- 23 NIV @ http://biblehub.com/niv/colossians/1.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located http://biblehub.com/colossians/1-15.htm

*Special Affirmation – As a Believer, my Father God blesses me for having faith in the gift of salvation because I have been reconciled by Christ’s physical body through death to establish me as holy for presentation in Father God’s sight, without blemish and free from accusation. My Father God honors my faith which is established and firm from the reconciliation gained from Christ’s sacrifice, and He will reward me for my belief and faith.

Matthew Henry Commentary

“Christ in his human nature is the visible discovery of the invisible God, and he that hath seen Him hath seen the Father. Let us adore these mysteries in humble faith, and behold

the glory of the Lord in Christ Jesus. He was born or begotten before all the creation, before any creature was made; which is the Scripture way of representing eternity, and by which the eternity of God is represented to us. All things being created by Him were created for him; being made by his power, they were made according to his pleasure, and for his praise and glory. He not only created them all at first, but it is by the word of his power that they are upheld. Christ as Mediator is the Head of the body, the church; all grace and strength are from him, and the church is his body. All fullness dwells in him; a fullness of merit and righteousness, of strength and grace for us. God showed his justice in requiring full satisfaction…” Complete Passage of Colossians 1:15-2 @ http://biblehub.com/colossians/1-15.htm

“What is the supremacy of Christ and what are its implications?

Answer: The supremacy of Christ is a doctrine surrounding the authority of Jesus and His God-nature. In the simplest of terms, to affirm the supremacy of Christ is to affirm that Jesus is God…” Complete Commentary @ http://www.gotquestions.org/supremacy-of-Christ.html
