FULL BELLY ... LEAN SOUL: Jesus Christ Saves!


85 Bible Verses about Salvation - KJV - DailyVerses.net


Brethren, 

We Are In The Wilderness Of Sin! 
Many Of Us Are ... Like The Ungrateful Mixed Multitudes Of Old
Doubting The Tender Mercies
And
The Evidenced Great Goodness Of The Eternal God
And
Are Begging For The Fleshly Life
And
By The Receipt Of Our Lustful Desires
Are Most Assuredly Benighting Our Own Souls
By The Leanness ... The Lack ... In Our Spirits! 

Many Of Us Know About God! 
Many Of Us Even Know A Lot About God
But
Many Of Us Do Not Intimately Know Our God
Because
Many Of Us Do Not Have A Trust Relationship
A Loving Relationship
A Knowing Relationship With Him! 

Most Of Us Want A Bread And Two ... Small Fishes
Most Of Want The Bird Meat On The Wing
And
Are Willing To Be Cannibals
Eating Flesh And Blood
Eating Our Own Kind For Dollar Bill
For Pound Note 
And
Many Who Are Straying Are Yearning For Ken Doll
And
Many Are Being Blithe Like Barbie 
Willing To Skew The Word
To Raise Up Our Own King
To Be Enamoured Of The Babylonish Garment
To Hide Stolen Gold And Silver Under Our Carpets
To Sit Down To Eat With Gluttons
And
Rise Up To Play Mas With Pagans
After Having Constructed Our Own God
Who Has Eyes And Can't See
Who Has Ears And Can't Hear
Who Has Hands And Can't Help
Who Has Feet And Can't Walk
And 
Must Be Carried Hither, Thither And Yon
And
Can't Propel Either Itself Or Its Worshipers 
Even Into A Second In The Future
Far Less Into The Holy God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

All Who Worship Such Are Just Like Them
Useless ... Good For Nothing
Save For The Burning Destruction
The Blackness Of Outer Darkness ... Oblivion! 

But

Glory Be To Jesus
Who, In Bitter Pain
- Who Like The Serpent In The Wilderness -
Was Raised Up For The Willing To Be Saved
From The Penalty Of Their Own Sin
We Who Catch And Embrace The Light ... Of Life
We Who Obey The Command To Salvation
And
Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
And
Look Up To The Lord Of Life
To Blessed And Saved
And
Walk Circumspectly Before Our God 
Have The Certain Hope Within Our Hearts! 

We Who Faithfully Pray Should Carefully Read
And
Meditate Upon

KJV Psalms 106
4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

And Ought To Understand That ... 

The God Of Grace Who Has Promised
By The Spilt Blood Of The Innocent Lamb Of God
Never To Forget Us 
Has Infinitely Blessed Us With Unmerited Favor That 
Cannot Fail To Provide For Us! 

By Jesus Christ 
We Now Have The Peace That Passes Human Understanding
A Down-Payment On The Fullness Of Joy That
Is
Part Of The Glory We Shall Share 
By Being In His Presence Forevermore
After He Returns For His Enduringly Faithful People! 

Beloved, 

Let's Pray Back To God The Promises Of God
And 
Let's Live As Though We Believe In
And 
Are Looking Forward To
Our Expected End In Heaven 
And 
The Earth Made New With Our Lord Jesus! 

Faith Moves Mountains 
And 
Lifts Us Above Our Circumstance: Exercised Faith Frees! 

Please Use Your Gift Of Faith For Today
And 
Be Blessed Today Through Faith! 

Pray, And Hold On To Your Hope!
Peace!

Our Salvation Was Brought Down
So That We, Redeemed
May Rise Up ... To Glory
To Glory In The Lord Who Is Life!

EXPIATION: Do You Really Believe In That ...!?!

CHOICE :
The Gift Of Almighty God
Encompassing Free Will
Because
Almighty God Has Given Unto Us Mortal Men
Power, Opportunity, And The Option
To Choose To Love And Trust Him

FAITH:
The Gift Of Almighty God
Offering Power, Opportunity And The Option
To Believe
To Trust
To Obey
Almighty God At His Stated Word
For An Offered And Desired Benefit!



**--**--**--**--**


Since
Jesus Christ Paid For All Our Sin
And
Guarantees That We Are Sin-Free
When We Exercise The Faith That He Gives To All As A Gift
- A Down-Payment On Eternity -
And
Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin
And
Believe That He Did The Deed

And

We Then Choose Not To Believe
And
We Then Refuse To Believe That 
We Are Forgiven
Does That Mean That Jesus Christ
Did Not Perform As He Promised
And
His Sure And Pure Sacrifice Was
Is 
Not Efficacious!?!

It Could Be A Riddle ...

Is The Gift Of Faith Not Potent Enough!?!
Is The Gift Of Faith Worthless!?!

Whose Fault Is It
When The Known-Redeemed Soul
Rejects ... Out Of Hand
Jesus Christ's Sure And Secure Salvation!?!

Is There Anything Else That 
Jesus Christ Can Do To Convince The Purchased Soul 
To Accept The Blessed Gift Of Eternal Life!?!

Why Does
- Why Would -
The Sinner Doubt The Savior!?!

Why Does The Sinner Not Know
Or Recognize That
He Is Adding The Sin Of Doubt
To His Known-Long List Of Unconfessed Sin!?!

Why Does The One In Need Of The Savior
Take The Path That Satan Threads
Instead Of The Path That
Jesus Christ Trod!?!

What Will It Take To Cause A Sinful Doubter
- A Doubting Sinner -
To Exercise Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

Why Do Believers, Believe The Word Of Jesus Christ!?!

Why Do Doubters, Doubt The Word Of Jesus Christ!?!

Same Home, Same Teaching ...

Why Was Cain Different From Abel!?!
Why Was Ham Different From Shem And Japheth!?!
Why Was Esau Different From Jacob!?!
Why Was Joseph Different From His Brethren!?!
Why Did The Prodigal Son Leave Home!?!

Why Did Lucifer Covet The Position Of Christ!?!
Why Did Satan Desire To Be As The Most High
To Occupy Heaven's Throne
And
The Hearts Of All Around Him!?!
What Is The Excuse For Sin!?!

There Is No Excuse For Sin!

Bad Choice Costs!
Good Choice Pays
And
Making The Decision
To Depart From Sin To Enter Salvation
Always Great Dividends Pay!

Exercising One's Personal Franchise ...

Jesus Christ Gives!
I Choose To Receive! 

Jesus Christ Blesses!
I Choose My Sin To Confess!

Jesus Christ Forgives!
I Choose To Repent! 

Jesus Christ Heals!
I Choose Before Him To Kneel! 

Jesus Christ Reveals!
I Choose My Known-Sin Not To Conceal!

Jesus Christ Leads!
I Choose To Follow! 

Jesus Christ
- By The Holy Spirit -
Guides And Chides!
In Him, I Choose To Confide, To Abide!

Jesus Christ Is Truth!
In Him, I Choose To Trust! 

Jesus Christ Is Light!
Being With Him, I Cannot Walk In Darkness! 

Jesus Christ Is Life!
Being In, And Living For Him, I Have Eternal Life!





I Know That My Redeemer Liveth!
How Come I Know
But
The Doubter Knows Not
When We Are All Privvy
To The Same Preserved Truth!?!

I Am A Worm
A Flower Of The Field
A Child Of The Dust
A Sinner Once Marked For
The Second Death
But 
Now Aiming For Zion
Beulah Land
New Jerusalem
The Kingdom Of The Blessed!

I Know ...

I Did Not Make Myself
So I Will Not Doubt The One
Who Says
Who Daily Proves 
- According To The Preserved Word
By His Every Action In My Life
In The Lives Of Others
In Nature - That
He Did

And

In His Favor
I Choose To Use My Gift Of Faith!
I Choose To Trust The Lord Christ!
I Choose To Inherit Eternal Life In Christ
In Almighty God's Great And Glorious  Paradise!

Sin Sells!
Salvation Saves!
The Savior Sacrificed!
Satan Savages And Ravages!


CHOICE:
I Am Jesus Christ's ... Alone!


FAITH:
Jesus Christ Will Help Me
To Arrive Safely
At The Heavenly ... Home!


Almighty God Is Truth:
He Gave The Living Word! 
He Said It: I Believe It! 
For Me, The Case Is Closed!
Jesus Christ, My Redeemer
Erased
Paid For
Removed 
Freed Me 
Expiated ... My Personal Sin
And
I Am Going Home With Him
Even If I Go Alone!
Choice Faith Matters!

PERSONAL CHOICE: Paradise Or Perdition?!

By Beholding Had Big Beautiful Eyes
AND
She Fixed Her Mind
On Iam Changed
Who Lived By The Law Of The Human Mind
AND
Sure Enough
Soon Enough
He Was A Goner!
It Was Enough!

By Beholding Is Modern
Was Ancient
AND
Being Ever Current
Has The New Name
- By Marriage, Of Course
Because A Good Live-With
Is Not A "The Done Thing!" 
For A True Beholding Child -
By Beholding-Changed!

By Beholding Loves Ties That Bind!

Things Were Good
Good Good
Even Great ... Until
Bad
Bad Bad
Base
Started Into And Stayed In Town!

Suddenly ...

Truth Purity And Holiness
Were Anathema!
Maranatha Was Changed Into Mas
AND
The Gold And Silver Smiths
Were Soon Rolling In Dough
Dollars Yen Euro Sterling
AND
The Tasteless gods Of WhatIFeel
Became
The Gotta-Have-It Hot Commodity!

By Beholding-Changed
Was In The Flowing Tide
AND
Went Along To Get Along
To Belong!

Pssst! Protruding Nails Get Hammered!

Soon ...

Faith Faltered
AND
Clear Gaze Was Always Cast Down!

One Day ...

The New Man
Moved Into Bessie Blessed's Old House
AND
In Short Order
He Was De Talk O' De Town!
Some People Sarcastically Call Him 
King James!

You Should Hear Him Preach ...

 ... But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
And Furthermore, All
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
By Beholding ... We're Changed!
By Beholding ... Iam Changed!

Whaaat?!
He's Calling Our Names!
How Does He Know Our Names?!

Who Cares How?!
I Want To Know Why!

Hey, Mister!

Greetings, Friends, And Not Yet Friends!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!
Why Do You Know Our Names?!

Different Town
Same Names
Same Questions
A Fact Of Life!

I Am A Messenger!
A Servant Of God!
I Have Precious Information From
The Love Letter Of The Eternal God!

I Deliver The Living Word
In Season And Out
I Speak Truth With Beauty
And I Don't Leave Anything Out!

The Words Of The Lord
Are Pure Words
Tried In The Fire Seven Times
And All Who Choose To Accept
Will Not In Fire 
Be Left Behind!

What Fire Are Speaking Of
And What Is This Left Behind?
!

All Who Look Up Unto Jesus Christ
Casting Away Their Idols
AND
Setting Aside Vain Imaginings
Will Rise Up
In The Appointed Hour
To The City Of God
Ever To Abide!

Damnation's Fire
Is Prepared Of God
For Satan And His Angels
And Those Of The Willful Sinners' Cohort
Who Chose
- Despising Truth And Salvation Free -
Before The Idol
To Avidly Bend The Knee!

God Is Not Mocked!
Truth Is Not Dead!
Idols Are Useless
AND
For Our Salvation
Jesus Christ Arose From The Dead!

Let Us Be Children Of The Day!
Children Of The Light!
Let Us Not Be Drunkards
Fools And Ones Wicked
Prowling
Ravening
Used By Satan
As Disposable Tools!

Mercy Is Free!
Grace Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Full
AND
Pure Is What We Need To Be!

Perdition Or Paradise?
A Choice Must Be Made!
Just Know That Almighty God Is Eternal
AND
Idols Are By The Hand Of Man Made
So Choose Carefully The God You're Serving
For Soon
That Decision Will Be Permanent
AND
Wishing Will Not Cause It To Be Unmade!

The King IS Coming!
Be Ye Washed ... And Ready! 

Oh, Dear! Oh, Dear!
Idols Are A Snare!

We Must Change
And With Alacrity
Or
Damnation Is Ours, I Fear!

I Think That We Forgot To Remember
That Our Jesus
For Us Does Care
And
No Matter The Opposition
We Must Of Heaven
Seek The Offered Share!

Yes! Yes!
It Is Time To Turn Around!
Let's Seek The Eternal In Prayer!

Our Father, ...!

PRAYER: Lord, Help Us To Meet Your Conditions!





Father,
I Love You
And, Yet
It Is So Easy To Be Distracted
By The Minutiae Of Daily Living
And
The Dread Problems Of This World!
Forgive Me, I Beseech You
For Not Making You First
Last
And Always
And Help Me, Lord
To Get My Priorities In Order!


Help Me, Lord
To Take My Eyes Up
From Looking Down At My Feet

Cause Me Ever To Look Up
To My Lord Christ

I Need You
For, Lord
Oftentimes The Lights Of And In This Wicked World
Are So Bright That I Blink
And Momentarily Close My Eyes

I Don't
See You
And I Become Fearful
And 
Distraction And Drift
Try To Steal Me Away!


Pity Me, Lord
And
Help Me Not To Live Right In My Own Eyes
Nor In The View
That Comes From Trusting 
My Lying Mortal Eyesight!
Please Help Me To Live In The Foundational Faith
Of My Jesus
So That I May Be Saved!


Sometimes, Lord
The Clamor Of This Dying World
Can
And Often Does
Prevent Me From Hearing
The Dear And Lovely Voice! 
I Do Not Will That This Should Be So
And
I Beseech You
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
To Grant Me Spiritual Ears
So That I May Hear Of
The Blessings Of Love
And
Heed The Cautions Of Caring
And
Walk In The Direction Of Mercy
And
Live In The Shelter Of Grace
To Rise In The Glory Of Redemption
After An Enduring Sojourn
In The School Of Salvation!
I Desire To Reach Zion's Peaceful Shore!

Please Pour Of Your Spirit
Into This Earthen Vessel
And
Renew
Reform
Remake Me
Into A Vessel Fit
For The Use Of
My Lord And My God! 
I Desire To Possess My Place
At Your Welcome Home Table!


Father, 
I Know
I Understand
And
I Accept
That The Way Of The Crucible Is Painful
Trying
And 
Hard To Tolerate
But
I Am Willing To Stay In It
If You Will Keep My Company
Hold My Hand
Comfort My Heart 
And
Help Me
All Things To Bear!


I Need You - Please Help Me
For
I Desire The Residence In That Prepared
And Holy Place
And
I Desire With My Every Fiber
To Receive
And Wear 
That Golden Crown
That My Jesus Purchased For Me
When In Closing Out That Transaction
A Spear's Cruel Pierce
Caused His Cleansing Blood
And
Water Of Life
To Pour Forth! 
Thank You For The Promise 
The Gift
Of
Eternal Life!


I Believe - Help Me To Obey! 
I Love You! 
Help Me To Honor You Today
In All Ways
And Bless Me
Lord, Bless Me
To With Others
My Faith In The Lord Christ To Share!


Remember The Faithful
The Feeble
The Faltering
The Fraught
Remember The Caring
The Crass
The Criminal
The Cruel
Remember All The Souls
For Whom Salvation 
Through Innocent Blood 
Was Bought!

Help Us To Be Mindful!
Help Us To Be True!
Help To Worship Truly
For We
Who Will To Be Saved
Will To
In Humility
Bless You!


Grant Us Grace For This Day
And
Provision For The Way
With The Holy Spirit Leading
And
The Holy Angels Protecting
And
Ever Influencing Us
For Good
And
For Our Good!

To Meet Your Conditions
So That The Promise Will Be Verified In Us! 
Do All, Lord, To Save Us
As You Have Promised
For
In Jesus' Precious Name, We Humbly Pray
And
Importunately Plead! 
AMEN.
