“Who do you say I am?”


All three members of the Trinity of God work to bring about our salvation.
•The Father chose us before we chose Him – Ephesians 1:4.
•Jesus, the Son, died for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:6-10.
•The Holy Spirit brings us the benefits of salvation and set us apart (makes us holy, sanctifies us) for God’s service.
2 Thessalonians 2:13.


God has given us new birth – Salvation – because of Jesus’ resurrection.

He is our Living Hope!

During trials and tribulations, instead of asking, “Why Me?” we should react to suffering with a new set of responses:
•1) Confidence that God knows, plans, and directs our lives for our good and His glory. God always provides His love and strength for us and leads us to a better future.
•2) Perseverance when facing grief, anger, sorrow, and pain. We can express our grief, but don’t give into bitterness and despair.
•3) Courage because with Jesus as Savior, we need not be afraid. He who suffered for us will not abandon us. Jesus carries us through everything.


Grace is:
•God’s
•Riches at
•Christ’s
•Expense


Are you awake, alert, and fully sober?

When we aren’t awake and alert, we aren’t paying attention to the signs of the times or the ways the enemy is at work all around us.

When we aren’t sober, it means we are under the influence and our senses are dulled.

We must remember we are in a battle, a spiritual battle, and the enemy wants your life, your soul, and your family and friends. He wants to destroy everything around you. Why would you allow him to come in and take everything you love dear?

Stay Awake, Stay Alert, Stay Fully Sober! It’s not worth it to be under the influence of anything other than being under the influence of the Holy Spirit!


“We cannot become holy on our own, but God gives us His Holy Spirit to help us obey Him and to give us the power to overcome sin. Don’t use the excuse that you can’t help slipping into sin. Rely on God’s power to free you from sin’s grip so you can truly make a difference in your circle of influence.” Life Application Study Bible notes.


Aren’t you thankful that our Salvation is by God’s Grace through faith in Jesus and it never dies but endures forever?

Have you trusted in Jesus yet as your Savior and Lord?

Are you following Him daily?

Simon says – give your life to Jesus today!
