Vol. 6 Doing good cannot win heaven

So many people, even many Christians believe that doing good can win a ticket for heaven. The Bible doesn't say that. The Bible says Jesus Christ is the only way to go to heaven. Any of our good deeds are far from enough to go to heaven. Salvation is the gift from God, it's God's grace for us!!

Today's Christian Clipart: King Saul took his life

1 Samuel 31:3-6

And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.

Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

Today's Christian Clipart: Paul arrested in Jerusalem

Acts 21: 30-33

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Word of God: Immeasurably more than we can imagine

In many occasions, I have been astonished by the grand scale of plans God has for us. These are certainly beyond our imagination and perfectly calculated and executed. We know what is going to happen in the future through the Scripture, and again that will also be beyond what we can think of. I am so thrilled.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Word of God: Carry everything to God

As in the HYMN song “What a friend we have in Jesus”, I believe this is the ultimate key for gaining peace in our heart. This peace is truly transcending all understanding indeed, it's unexplainable.

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer!

Carry everything to God

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Today's Christian Clipart: David spared Saul's life

1 Samuel 24:8-11

David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.

And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?

Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the Lord's anointed.

Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

Word of God: Jesus chose you

Jesus chose you

John 15:16-17

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.

Today's Christian Clipart: Eutychus raised from the dead

Acts 20:9-10

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

Today's Christian Clipart: Ahimelek helped David

1 Samuel 21:7-9

Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord; he was Doeg the Edomite, Saul’s chief shepherd.

David asked Ahimelek, “Don’t you have a spear or a sword here? I haven’t brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king’s mission was urgent.”

The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one.”

David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”

Word of God: Seek first his kingdom and righteousness

This passage is the special one for me, because it changed my life completely.
At a difficult time, I was worrying about job, income and living in the future. I was so insecure and despaired.
Then what I did was, I surrendered all to the Lord and sought his kingdom. It took only few days, my life has been changed since then. It doesn't mean my income increased and life got any easier, but the peace came into my heart. The confidence on that my life will be alright. Knowing God is taking care of us. A wonderful promise of God.

Seek first his kingdom and righteousness

Matthew 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Today's Christian Clipart: The riot in Ephesus

Acts 19:26-28

And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”

When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

Word of God: Do to others as you want them to do to you

Matthew 7:12

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Today's Christian Clipart: Josiah Destroys Idolatry

Today's Christian Clipart: Rehoboam answers Jeroboam and Israel harshly

1 Kings 12:13-15, 2 Chronicles 10:13-15

And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the Lord, that he might perform his saying, which the Lord spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
