Grace for Grace 10 01 2023


Certainly, let's break down John 1:16 for a clearer understanding. 
This verse from the Holy Bible reads:
"And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
"Breaking it down:"And of his fullness": This phrase refers to the abundance of blessings, grace, and goodness that come from Jesus Christ ."have all we received": It emphasizes that all believers have received from this abundance. It's a statement of inclusivity, highlighting that this grace is available to everyone who believes."and grace for grace": This part suggests a continuous flow of grace. In other words, as we receive grace from Christ, more grace continues to be poured out upon us.

Overall, John 1:16 speaks to the abundant and continuous grace that believers receive from Jesus Christ. It's a reminder of the overflowing blessings available to those who have faith in Him.

You are a wonder

You are a wonder “I praise you because I am…wonderfully made.” Ps 139:14 NIV   Despite your aches and pains, you are a living, breathing, walking, talking wonder. The psalmist said, “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (vv. 13-14 NIV). One author explains: “Most of us take our eyesight for granted, but even the simplest of processes is divinely complex. The retina, for example, conducts close to ten billion calculations every second, and that is before an image even travels through the optic nerve to the visual cortex. The human nose can detect one-millionth of one milligram of garlic floating in the air and distinguish among ten thousand distinct odors. The hairs blanketing your body magnify the sensation of touch so that you can discern a thousandth of an ounce of pressure on the tip of a half-inch hair. Amazing, isn’t it?” Trillions of chemical reactions are taking place in every cell of...

What makes you glad, sad, or mad?

What makes you glad, sad, or mad? “To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown.” Job 6:14 NKJV   A pastor writes: “What makes you glad or sad or mad? What puts a holy smile on your face? What causes your spirit to sob uncontrollably? What makes you pound your fist on the table out of righteous indignation? Somewhere in the mixture of that gladness, sadness, and madness is your God-ordained passion. Or maybe we should say compassion, because you are feeling what God feels. And once you identify it, doing something about it isn’t optional. You can’t not do something about it.” In 2006, Blake Mycoskie was touring Argentina when he noticed that many of the children didn’t have shoes. He could have returned to the United States and gone about his business. Instead, he started TOMS shoes, a business with a mission of putting shoes on the feet of children in third-world countries. It works like this: When you buy a pair of TOMS shoes, you’re giving a pair of shoes to a barefoot chi...

The City Of Refuge

The City Of Refuge      "Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer (murderer) may flee thither which killeth any person at unawares. And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer dies not..." (Numb.35:11, 12). Here is an instruction is given by God unto Moses by which a murderer or a killer might be saved from being put to death through retaliation at the hands of an angry mob (avengers). This divine instruction given to Moses portrays the matchless consideration and love the Almighty God has for a hopeless sinner who, by His righteous judgment, is not supposed to live. By God's righteous judgment, "The souls that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father..." (Ezek.18:20).      Dear reader, do you realize that every sin committed is like attempting your own life or somebody else's life? Through boy/girlfriend relationship or matrimonial unfaithfulnes...
