Remember: Jesus died for your sins ~

  Are you letting self-pity or anger or any one of a number of things, control your life?

God says:
(NASB) Hebrews 12:4 “You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;”

But Jesus did!
He suffered and died on a cross – striving against your sins and mine!

Remember: your former days, the days after you received Jesus as your Savior.
Remember: what Jesus did for you, by taking your place for your sins on the cross.
Remember: your joy of being forgiven, freed from your sins – forgiven!

Followers of Christ – live by faith in the living Lord Jesus Christ.  You may be persecuted for your faith in Jesus by those without Christ in their heart and life.
Remember: you have a lasting, eternal Savior and God!

Take it to heart ~

Do not be surprised by persecution for your faith in the Lord Jesus.  Jesus said…
(NASB) Matthew 5:11-12 “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
¹² ‘Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Savior
(NASB) Isaiah 25:9 “And it will be said in that day,
‘Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

Messiah
(NASB) Isaiah 61:10 “I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness…”

This is God my Savior ~ rejoice Oh my soul!
Remember: Jesus died for your sins ~
