Morning Devotional October 10, 2015


Colossians 3:1-4


“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

 

Praise the Lord we have a Savior!!! Praise the Lord our Savior has saved us from our sins!!! Praise the Lord He has made us dead to this world!!!

As children of God we are to distance ourselves from this old sinful world. We are commanded to seek those things which are above and not the things of this world. Yet so many times we fail and fall flat on our face in this. We let the world around us come into our life and all but consume us. But we serve a merciful and gracious God!!! He walks with us through the life with us. If we will just turn to Him in time of temptation.

When the Lord saves us He makes us new creatures. We are born again to a new life. Our life is to be in Christ.

Oh child of God are you living in and for Christ today? Are you truly free from the temptations of life in this world? Are you praising God, our Heavenly Father, for everything He has done or is doing to use you to bless others?

Child of God, put off the old man. Life for Christ and yourself. Humble yourself before the Lord. Give no heed to the sins of this life. Understand that in Christ Jesus, we have all we need. Nothing this world offers is for us. Follow the Lord, the Savior of your soul. The Giver of eternal life. Praise the Lord!!!

Are you not a child of God? Are you having doubts of where you will go if the moment came for you to enter the next life? Are you seeking peace and joy in your life? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved!!! All have come short of the glory of God.

A sinners prayer will not save you. Going down an isle and praying at an “Old Fashioned” alter will not give you eternal life.

Ephesians 2: 8-10

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

 

Acts 16:25-34

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!
