“What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ” Philippians 3:8 NIV This verse blessed me because recently I’ve lost a lot of things but i gained the faith that God needed me to gain. I’ve said “God use me in anyway possible I just want to be who you need be to be.” Saying that has opened me up to being stripped of a lot but also gaining endurance for something I have no clue that is coming. If you lose everything and I mean truly everything and you still have Gods love and favor then you still obtain the most valuable thing. It starts with repentance and surrender to God.

Leaving Lukewarm to Love Jesus... Part 3 of 3 8. Serving others humbly (Mark 10:42-45) Having a servant attitude, not lording it over others. 9. Staying spiritually awake and faithful (Mark 13:32-37) Being watchful, prayerful and persevering until the end. 10. Forsaking all to follow Him (Luke 14:33) Being willing to let go of anything that hinders you from whole-hearted devotion. In essence, passionate discipleship involves whole-hearted love, obedience, service, sacrifice and devotion to Jesus Christ above all else in every area of life. It requires zeal and commitment.

This post contains the question of a lifetime.
author, speaker & faithful 🩵📖🙏 John 3:16 | former corporate worker in investment management turned writer | liznova.com
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 It was out of love that God gave His only Son. In His goodness, grace, mercy, and love, He gave His beloved Son to live a perfect life and die a sacrificial death so that all who believe in Him will not be condemned, but live eternally. God is love. And the most valuable thing in the world is to know the reality of His love, by faith. We praise You for the free gift of salvation that is open to whosoever will come. The question is, do you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? Have a blessed night/day in the mighty name of Jesus. God bless you abundantly 🙏

The world often measures value in trillions of dollars, but Jesus asks a profound question: What good is gaining the whole world if we lose our souls? Our souls are beyond comparison in worth. God treasures our souls so much that He purchased us with the life of His own Son, Jesus. In 1 Cor. 6:20, Paul reminds us that we were bought with a high price, and in Eph. 1:7, he tells us that God purchased our freedom through the blood of His Son. Nothing is more valuable to God than Jesus, yet by sacrificing Jesus for us, He shows that we are of equal worth to His Son. Jesus Himself prayed that we may be one with Him, just as He is one with the Father, demonstrating that the Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus. God's love for us is immeasurable, and He invested His infinite love in exchanging it for our souls. However, we often forget our true worth and chase after worldly possessions. We must ask ourselves: Do we truly believe in our infinite value to our heavenly Father? If we consistently meditate on His unfathomable love, it will transform how we live our lives. Let us embrace the reality of God's boundless love and remember that we are infinitely valuable to Him. As we live in the reality of His love, our lives will reflect the priceless worth of our souls. 🌟🙏 #PricelessSoul #GodsLove #UnfathomableLove #InfiniteValue #FaithInGod #SpiritualJourney #Reflections

"Hindus indeed can be saved by the same power of the Holy Spirit who worked salvation in our hearts. Let us not forget that Jesus died for Hindus. Although Hinduism is dominated by gods and goddesses which are demonic in origin, the love of God must compel believers to take the gospel to the Hindu people in America and around the world."

A MEATY METAPHOR: JESUS IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD Jesus often speaks to us in metaphors. This is not because straightforward language is not precise. It is because straightforward language cannot convey the force and depth of the most profound truths and experiences of life. We turn to poetry and metaphor to convey deep truth. One such instance is found in John 10, in which Jesus refers to himself as the “good shepherd.” This passage is not a simple description of Jesus. It is a window into the depths of Christ's sacrificial love, intimate relationship with believers, open invitation to salvation, and voluntary sacrifice. The Sacrificial Love of Jesus (John 10:11-13) At the heart of the Good Shepherd metaphor lies Jesus' sacrificial love. Follow the link to read more... https://lnkd.in/g-4mafVa

God's Grace can be seen at a very basic level from two main stand point: 1. God giving to Man what He DOESN'T DESERVE and 2. God NOT giving to Man what He DESERVES. It's amazing to see how the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ works in ways we cannot comprehend. Join me as I, by the help of God's Grace, share more light into this topic. #TheGraceOfOurLordJesusChrist #BibleStudyWithFED #Grace https://lnkd.in/d4rHYF8W Join using the link above

As I see it. Jesus gives unconditional love. The other, love with a short temper. Jesus and God are more powerful than the dark one but it takes faith. And if your faith has been, weakened you can end up confused. The majority of dark people where nice shoes, light wears older shoes or sandles if they are light, and that’s what it’s about Yin and Yang. The dark tends to have more people connections and in getting what you want. While light is stronger in getting what you need . Almost anyone can become dark- without knowing it. You can go to a trusted friend and suddenly they are dark. It can just creep over you. So for a short time on earth, you spend eternity in heaven or hell. Jesus and God are stronger than the fallen angel but you must have faith. If your faith has been weakened it’s difficult. It’s best to love the lord with all your heart and soul. It’s about pure love. It’s important to know the Bible. It’s the word as best of God. Especially, the New Testament
