A New Creation In Christ
January 26, 2018
When God brought us into this universe, He did not make us to abandon us. When God made creation, He said, "It is good." But then sin came into the world, and it was not good any more.
The Lord Jesus Christ came and died on the cross to pay for our sin. As He died, He said, "It is finished." It is done. And now there is a new creation for all who will believe.
When you repent and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, you are saying, "You made me, You redeemed me, I surrender to You." Then when He comes into you by the power of His Holy Spirit to guard and guide you, He fulfills His obligation to you. The God who created You did not create you to abandon you.
First Peter 4:19 says, “Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
