God stuff

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come The old has gone, the new is here!
Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.


God is not angry with me. We have conquered death and sin by accepting Jesus. All those who accept Jesus become a new type of person. By the grace of God we are forgiven and now are greatly blessed. God has a job for us to do. God has given us all we need to complete our task.

I enjoy these verses because they are filled with the promise of better things in Jesus. It doesn't say you will be rich and never have another problem but it does say you will be able to handle anything that comes your way. They confirm there is a reason for each of us to be here. They reestablish the fact that you are loved, forgiven, and wanted.

I don't think there is anyone on the planet Earth who does not want to have a purpose. I think all of us want to be a better person and know there is someone on our side.
