“And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them,
Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one title of the law to fail. Whosever putteth away his wife, and married another, commiteth adultery: and whosever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.” Luke 16 v14-18 AKJV
To be like Jesus. To understand nothing is hid from God, he knows the heart. Our hope is in him, which is strengthened by the use of our faith. His word will not fail. His plan for life, eternal life, will not fail. The boundaries of heaven are held in place by the choice of trusting in God, accepting eternal life through confession of Jesus Christ as Lord, and being born again. Renewed to a new spirit of mind and soul, that is manifested through the continuing moments of life.
Lord, bless this day, as I know you already have, for it is yours. Amen.
