===

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him…

2 Chronicles 16:9

Is your heart blameless before God?

No? Well then, these words aren’t good news.

But … if your sins have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus, then you are blameless – through the reconciliation with God that only Jesus could create for you.

So then it’s good news: God knows your situation and he will support you in the difficult times. Thank Him. Praise Him. Trust Him.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9

It’s a good way to begin the year.

Be strong and courageous.
Because you’re smart or good or healthy or rich or nice?

No – be strong and courageous because the LORD your God is with you.

In 2018, God commands us with a comforting command: Don’t be frightened. I will be with you.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”

Revelation 5:12-13

Jesus is Worthy. It’s a good message to end the year with.

Jesus is Worthy.
Because of what he’s done for all humanity.
Jesus is Worthy.
Because he was the lamb who slain.
Jesus is Worthy.
So every creature will praise and bless Him.
Jesus is Worthy.
He will receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.
Forever and ever.

===

And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

1 Corinthians 2:1-2

You don’t need to be impressive, of excellent, or the best in the world, or educated, or really smart or talented or popular for God to use you. So don’t let that be excuse.

“Oh, God couldn’t use me.”

He can. Obey him. Teach others about what Jesus as done for you and for them.

And you can start or finish with his crucifixion.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

1 Timothy 4:12

There are some good verses in the Bible that talk about the blessings of wisdom that comes from old age, but this verse (along with a few others) indicates that we should not assume that a young person can’t also be someone we look to as an example of how a Christian should live.

This verse tells young person – be the kind of young man or woman that older Christians can see good in.

In the way you talk, in how you act, in the way you show love and faith and in how you stay pure.

Don’t be discouraged by doubts, and earn trust.

===

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36

Here and many other places in the Word of God, there are two thing that a person must do to have eternal life.

They must believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ as the one and only Savior
They must obey this Son of God – to avoid God’s wrath.

Do you want life, even eternal life? Believe in and Obey Jesus.

Sung by Adelyn, Barrett and Scott Jamison

===

None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:7-9

These verses aren’t talking about everyone, but those who are the Lord’s.

Are you in the Lord’s hands? When you die, will you die to the Lord?

Repent and believe in him.
Obey him and live for him.

===

Song by Phil Carlson

===

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Hebrews 11:6

We can’t stumble into doing something that pleases God. You don’t please God by accident.

For oneness with the Creator, you must have faith. You must believe.

You must believe in God and you must believe in Grace

===

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Romans 3:23-24

Verse three here is one of the more well know Bible verses, but we can thank God for verse 24!

We are justified
Not by our our works, but as a gift – by grace.

We have been redeemed.
Our redemption is due to Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:23 is very, very bad news.
Romans 3:24 is very good news that cancels out the bad news of verse 23, for those in Christ Jesus.

Thank God for the good news.

===

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

The connection we have with our savior, Jesus Christ, is strong.

We’ve been crucified with him.
Christ lives in us.
We live by faith in Jesus.

Rejoice! He loves you and gave himself for you.
