Saved from Sin For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit. I Peter 3:18 The Bible says, “We have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God”(Romans 3:23) and “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). If we believe the words of the Bible, we must be aware of the fact that we need cleansing and that we cannot do it ourselves. Salvation from our sins is only possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. To accept this gift of salvation, we must believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he came to die for our sins. When we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we need to repent and turn from our sinful ways to follow Him. We are saved by grace, but we still need to honor the Lord with our lives.

“ Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. ” Psalm 51:8 (NIV)  brokenness is a good thing . Here’s why : It’s impossible to become intimate with God unless we are broken of our independence, broken of our pride, and broken of our insistence that our way is better than God’s. We must be broken of the illusion that we bring anything to the peace talks when we seek to end our war with God; the only surrender God requires is unconditional. - Brokenness is the last stop before we finally confess, “ I can’t; God can .” - Brokenness is the apostle Paul confessing, “ What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death ?” Romans 7:24 (NIV). - Brokenness is the prodigal fighting with the pigs over food. Luke 15:11–32 . - Brokenness is Joseph, still in prison, forgotten by the cup bearer. Genesis 40:23 . - Brokenness is Jonah in the belly of a whale, confessing the consequences of running from God: “I know that it is my fault that

Enter into his courts with thanksgiving... Psalm 100:4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are hisa; We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100 Posted via email from sistersister's posterous

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5 who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever. 10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. 13 As a father has compas
