JESUS AND HIS GRACE REMAIN THE SAME
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. – Hebrews 13:8-9
Jesus Christ is God and He is immovable, and unchangeable. Our Lord, Messiah and Redeemer has always been the same. Jesus has not changed since He became our incarnated Messiah and will remain the same for all eternity. Everything about Jesus including His love, power, truth, and grace never changes and has always remained the same for all believers throughout the ages.
We are saved by grace, not by works. We need to be careful and not accept any doctrine that says differently. Anything that tries to add something “new” to the truth of the Bible is in error. We should strengthen our hearts in the faith and hope of the Gospel of grace, not by food restrictions that bring no spiritual advantage to those who obey such restrictions. All we need to be saved is a sincere relationship with Jesus Christ. The good we do comes from our love for the Lord, for his grace is sufficient for us.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Lord, I thank You, for keeping the Gospel simple and clear. I know that I am saved by Your amazing unmerited favor, not by my own efforts. Help me recognize the lies of the enemy, despite their subtlety. Please help me understand the truth of Your Word as it is the perfect standard for my faith and to not accept anything different from it. You want me to have a sincere heart and be fully surrendered to You, so please help me to keep it this way and glorify You with my life, in the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
