But for the obedience of Jesus Christ on the cross, we would not be saved and redeemed. It is only by Jesus that we can come boldly to the Father. The greatest gift we receive, freely, that is salvation, which comes with a promise of eternal life, a gift worth more than anything on earth could offer. So how could you not serve your King Jesus, who made you free from everything that would hold eternal life for you?

The promises of God, His Word, are all yes and amen. When you agree and have faith that it will be done so, it will be done so. Because our God is a God of covenant. He is the other part of the covenant. All you have to do is agree and have faith, and it will be done so. 

With the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, we have been redeemed. And we are made co-heirs with Jesus. He said, what He did, we can do also. We have been given, too, the power and the authority in Jesus Christ. Don't let the devil tell you so. 

What's inside of you will eventually show on the outside. No matter how we cover up whatever is needed to cover up, it will find its way out. So fill your life with God's Words, so that when tragedy or trial or problems seem to be knocking you off of your feet, even if you stumble and fall, you'll spill what you have inside. God's Words, His promises, His life, His goodness and faithfulness. You spill because you are full of it and is overflowing. You cannot spill anything from an empty cup. So fill it up. Read the Bible and pray for understanding.

We may be experiencing hardships in our lives. But God said in 2 Corinthians 4:8-12, "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." We have hope, that at the end of it all, there is One who is waiting for us, cheering for us, believing in us. 

For we are saved by grace through faith. It's all about the grace of God, that we triumph over every problem, that we conquer every mountain, that we move from strength to strength and from glory to glory. In there, our faith develops, growing ever bigger and deeper as we trust that God holds everything about our life in His hands, where grace also is ever present, abounding and overflowing. And when these two meet, the grace of God and our faith, supernatural will be evident in our lives.
