For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14 (NKJV) Understanding grace is a much better motivator against sin than fear or guilt. Some think that grace is so freeing that it can cause people to run to sin. Actually, the opposite is true. Think about it. What motivates a husband not to abuse his spouse? Is it because he fears the punishment or because the Bible says not to? Maybe…but in a healthy relationship, he treats his wife with kindness and respect because he loves her and wants the best for her! His decision is based on integrity and on the relationship he has with her, not on fear and guilt. The same is …
Jesús Derrotó al Enemigo
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 (NKJV) La mentira más grande de Satanás es hacerle pensar que él tiene el poder. Al hacerse cargo de nuestra naturaleza del pecado y de la maldición que venía con ella, Jesús derrotó al enemigo. Él despojó de poder al demonio al quitarle la única cosa que tenía en nosotros: nuestra naturaleza del pecado. Por esto es que también Jesús dijo que el demonio no tenía nada en él (Juan 14:30). Jesús era el Hijo de Dios y tenía la naturaleza de Su Padre. Cuando usted se entregó a Cristo, usted …
JESUS DEFEATED THE ENEMY
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 (NKJV) Satan’s greatest deception is to make you think that he still has power. By taking our sin nature and the curse that went with it, Jesus defeated the enemy. He stripped the devil of power by taking away the only thing he had on us: our sin nature. This is also why Jesus said that the devil had nothing on him (John 14:30). Jesus was God’s Son and had the nature of His Father. When you gave yourself to Jesus Christ, you gained His nature. As He is, so are …
GRACE BRINGS THE MIRACLE
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) Have you ever wondered what it means to say that Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith? Well, let’s think about this statement. Ephesians 2:8 says that we are saved through faith. In other words, our belief in what Jesus has done for us and receiving Him as our Lord and Saviour is what makes us right with God and causes His promises and blessings to be ours. Do we earn right standing with God? Do we earn blessings from God? …
La Gracia Trae El Milagro
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) ¿Se ha preguntado lo que significa decir que Jesús es el autor y consumador de nuestra fe? Bueno, vamos a analizar esta declaración. Efesios 2:8 dice que somos salvados a través de la fe. En otras palabras, nuestra creencia en lo que Jesús ha hecho por nosotros, y recibirlo a Él como nuestro Señor y Salvador, es lo que nos hace buenos con Dios y lleva a que Sus promesas y bendiciones sean nuestras. ¿Ganamos derechos apoyándonos con Dios? ¿Ganamos bendiciones de Dios? No, …
