True Wealth‏

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever Amen
Forward with the Gospel
• John 3:16‏


Life in Jesus is Good
God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.

For all things belong to you, ...and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God. (see 1Cor 3:21,23)

Christian, in our present struggle we need to remember that we are heirs of all things in Christ Jesus. In this present age what counts is that we are rich toward God. (see Luke 12:16-34) We have a way to go.

Yes in Jesus we grow
Just because we are heirs does not mean that we have already obtained true wealth for our soul. Paul the Apostle said, "Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own." (Phil 3:12 ESV)


There's the promise- there's our resting place. Christ Jesus has made us his own. Let's pray.

Make that important call to your saviour
Lord Jesus, thank you for making us your own. Help us to trust in your promise and look to you. Help us esteem the things that count- the things of love and faithfulness, of kindness and forgiveness. Help us to work for this true wealth that you give. Amen.

Today's very great and precious promise


And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise. (Gal 3:29)

Lord Come now
We have God's Word on it.

Psalm 57:2-3‏
The Giver to all
I call to God Most High, to the God who does everything for me. He sends his help from heaven and saves me.
