For the Youth

 


There are quite a number of individuals, especially youths, that are going through a lot in this era. 

.

.

.

Daily, they are faced with the everydayness of this life; continually being hit with the tests and no-good seductions it usually offers

.

.

.

"This girl became sexually active at a very young age and a boy joined a cult at the age of 12".

Day by day, this phrases seem to be getting very common. The Media even worsens it the more.

.

.

.

All that is happening to them is not their fault. It all started with Adam.


Romans 5:12 

Why, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed on all men, for that all have sinned:


Adam's disobedience caused Sin to come into the world. Hence, the very nature of man was that of a sinner. 

.

.

.

Even if you didn't sin in the manner of Adam, you were still a sinner. Meaning, even though you did good, much good, your nature was still as that of a sinner because of Adam's disobedience.


Romans 5:14 

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

.

.

.

See that prostitute in your area, deep down she never wanted to be one, but the world turned her into one.

.

.

.

See that Agboro in your street, he wanted to do so many amazing things in life, but Sin made him stop.

.

.

.

Nevertheless, you see Sin that I'm talking about, it has been defeated, settled and conquered by Christ Jesus.


John 1:29 

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

.

.

.

Jesus has payed the price for sin! Through his death, He made an atonment.


Hebrews 9:26 

for then he would have had to suffer many times ever since the creation of the world. Instead, now when all ages of time are nearing the end, he has appeared once and for all, to remove sin through the sacrifice of himself.

.

.

.

What then could be the problem?


The problem is that the sweet and beautiful lady who sin made to enter into prostitution and that intelligent and handsome guy don't know yet!

.

.

.

These individuals don't know what Christ has done for them. They don't know that God has forgiven them and packaged a righteous, incorruptible and immortal nature for them.....FREE OF CHARGE.


Hebrews 8:10 

Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel

in the days to come, says the Lord:

I will put my laws in their minds

and write them on their hearts.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.


Hebrews 8:11 

None of them will have to teach their friends

or tell their neighbors,

‘Know the Lord.’

For they will all know me,

from the least to the greatest.


Hebrews 8:12 

I will forgive their sins

and will no longer remember their wrongs.”

.

.

.

If you are reading this today, God has forgiven you. God loves you so much. Not matter what has happened, God can't stop loving you

.

.

.

Don't run away from him, come to Him and I promise you, He will not reject you!

The motive for being good

I was thinking....     "A good deed is its own reward". A very normal yet life-changing statement. My mom made this statement to me years back and it'll always be a code I stand by.     Building your mindset on this very statement as a Believer is probably one of the best ways to show how good Jesus is. It also proves that you have offered yourself as a living sacrifice to God.     It may look very casual or common to others but it shouldn't be for us... It's an integral part of our Christianity.       Our Lord, Jesus, and the Apostles of the new testament highly emphasized on showing charity, kindness and goodness to others.       Jesus gave us an example to follow... St. John 13:14-15 "And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you." [NLT]     Apostle Paul emphasized on it... Ephesian...

The New life

  Ephesians 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, Ephesians 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) Ephesians 2:6  And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:  𝖤𝗏𝖾𝗋𝗒 𝖢𝗁𝗂𝗅𝖽 𝗈𝖿 𝖦𝗈𝖽 (𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋) 𝗂𝗌 𝗌𝗂𝗍𝗍𝖾𝖽 𝗍𝗈𝗀𝖾𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋 𝗂𝗇 𝖢𝗁𝗋𝗂𝗌𝗍 𝖩𝖾𝗌𝗎𝗌 " 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀".    𝖶𝗁𝖾𝗇 𝖦𝗈𝖽 𝗌𝖾𝖾𝗌 𝖺 𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋, 𝖧𝖾 𝖽𝗈𝖾𝗌𝗇'𝗍 𝗌𝖾𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗆 𝗂𝗇 𝗌𝗂𝗇.

How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 𝖨𝖿 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗎𝗌𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗅𝖺𝗐 𝗈𝖿 𝗉𝗋𝖾𝗍𝖾𝗑𝗍 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗋𝖾𝖺𝖽 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗉𝗋𝖾𝗏?...

Justification by Faith

  𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Justified by Faith 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁: Romans 5 vs 1  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"     Justification, in context with the verse above, means to be absolved (to set free, release ) and declared free of blame or sin.     Through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, all those who believe in him are justified or set free of sin. Romans 4:25  "Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God]."     𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 "𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧"? By Faith     Romans 4:24  "But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead," ...
