Titus 1:2 . . . in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ we are granted by God a sure place with Him—forever. That forever life begins the moment we receive Jesus. Not only is our eternal destiny changed, our everyday living takes on a new quality. We no longer have an uncertainty about where we will go after we die. We have…

John 14:26 (Jesus said) “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” Jesus knew His time on earth was drawing to a close when He spoke these words. He still had more to teach His disciples. He knew they would need to be reminded of what He had already taught them. Then there were new believers who…

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. When God calls us to cast our burdens on Him, it’s not a little toss of a ball. “Cast” means “to hurl, fling.” I see this word cast as a top-notch pitcher throwing his fastest knuckleball. God’s attention is riveted on us, ready to catch anything that is a burden to us. We aren’t to hold on to…

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, yes and forever.

He healed the sick. He raised the dead. He cast out demons and cured…
I John 4:16 And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in Him. God’s love is not an on-again, off-again relationship with believers who put their trust in Jesus. He wants us to abide in His love—even when we don’t feel like it. The word “abide” means “to be held, kept continually, remain, continue to be…
