~ Joy In God: The Fruits Of Faith ~ In my Devotions last night I read about finding the Joy In God, particularly emphasized in Romans 5:6-11, and wanted to share with you all....Faith through Jesus Christ reaffirms our reconciliation with God. Jesus payed the penalty for our sins on the Cross, and when we repent of our sins, we are brought closer in our relationship with the Lord, and in our walk with Christ, revealing Joy in God, and in that Joy producing the the Fruits of Faith....
These Fruits Include:
- The Fruit Of God's Glory: May we find such unimaginable Joy in serving God that He is fully aware of our highest allegiance, and us of our worth found in Him....
- The Fruit Of Endurance Through Faith: May the tiresome, weary, and broken hearted continue to endure through steadfast Faith, knowing the Joy of His promised Word is ours, now, and in eternity, no matter the present circumstances..... ~ Faith Over Fear ~ ~ Grace Through Faith ~
- The Fruit Of Purity: May our desire to do right, and to live by God's Holy Words, help us to resist temptation, acknowledge our wrongs, and strive to live a life of Joy through serving the God, and honoring Jesus Christ ...
- The Fruit Of Love: May we be known for extending the Love of God, for creating an overflow and outreach to others, because of His Love that is within us.....
- The Fruit Of Evangelism: May our Joy and Love be contagious, where others are drawn to join in fellowship and faith in Christ.....
- The Fruit Of Worship: May we always join in prayer for one another, as we rise in the morning, and as night sets, in lifting our hearts in praise to God, our souls to Christ, giving Thanks for the gift of salvation, and asking that the Lord's Will be done, as He looks after our loved ones....Jude 24:25
" Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and majesty, power and authority before all time, both now and ever. Amen."~ Joy In God - Grace Through Faith ~Romans 5:6-11
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For one will scarcely die for a righteous person-though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 4951
