Word of the Day: Receive a gift from God!
5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Romans 5:1-5
Do you like receiving gifts? God is generous and likes to give us good things. He offers us many gifts, in the passage above we see some of the gifts he offers us:
- Through the action of Jesus, we have been reunited with God: this relationship we can have with God is a source of peace.
- Through the struggles and challenges we may face, we are given perseverance. Perseverance is character-building and ultimately provides us with the gift of hope. We have hope because of God's perfect plan!
- Love has been poured into our hearts because of the gift of The Holy Spirit
- All of this should be a source of Joy to us. We can rejoice since we are a part of God's perfect plan.
But the greatest gift of all is Jesus. Through Jesus, we receive salvation, eternal life, and God's constant presence in our lives.

Yesterday's Word
Word of the Day: Do you know what it means to be a Christian?
Many people go to church and believe in God. But being a Christian is more than that. A True Christian believes that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again to give them eternal life. They repent of their sins and dedicate their entire life to Jesus. When this happens, the Christian receives Jesus into their heart and has a new life!
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:9-10
So, if you haven't had a real encounter with Jesus yet, pray and ask Him to become the Lord and Savior of your life. Confess your failures, everything you've done and know is wrong. Talk to Him and receive His love and forgiveness. Christ is waiting with open arms for you to come to Him. Don't let another day pass without surrendering your life to God! In Him, you will find true life.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Remember all that Christ did for you, his death on the cross, his love for you. With all this in mind, have you dedicated your life to Jesus?
Day Before Yesterday's Word
Word of the day: Seek God and show Him your face
Many times, we don't feel fulfilled in life because we don't seek God or allow Him to change us. Receive this truth today: He loves you and wants to transform your life!
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
This verse invites us to deeply reflect on the spiritual transformation that occurs when we surrender to the Lord. It begins with the encouragement that all of us, as Christians, are called to live with unveiled faces. This means we don't need to hide who we are before God, for He knows us deeply and accepts us as we are.
When we turn to the Lord and seek His presence, something wonderful happens. We begin to reflect His glory, just as a mirror reflects the light shining upon it. As we behold the glory of God, we are transformed from glory to glory. This means that as we grow in our relationship with God, His image becomes more visible in us.
This transformation is not our own doing, but the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. It is He who enables us to grow spiritually, to develop the character of Christ, and to reflect His glory to the world. Therefore, our role is to continually seek God's presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us, and transforming us into His image.
May we embrace this promise of transformation, and daily seek the presence of God, so that with unveiled face, we may reflect His glory and be transformed from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.
