In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world”(John 16:33 NASB).

Day 27 of God’s Love for Us November 17, 2017 “Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. But He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until his enemies be made a footstool for His feet.

Christ actually means pardon or forgiveness. Jesus was the Messiah, the chosen one to do God’s work of bringing the people together under Him in love and harmony.

Day 20 of God’s Love for Us September 29, 2017 “This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.”(1 John 3:23) Here are a few definitions: Jesus means “life giving” in Hebrew, and “the name of our lord” in Greek; Christ means “to forgive” in Hebrew and “anointed” in Greek; love then is “from God” in Hebrew, and “much, “as in a social and moral setting,” (pattern) and (quantity)” in Greek. So we could write this statement like this, ” This is God’s commandment, that Read More
