Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer this line from F. F. Bruce.

“The judgment on disobedience is as certain as the reward for faithfulness. While salvation in the Bible is according to grace, judgment is according to works, whether good or bad, for believers as for unbelievers.”

Titus 3:3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

³ For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Abba, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Your servant praises You.  Bless You, for Your merciful patience towards us. Bless the work of Your hands and the grace You pour upon us. Forgive us of our disobedience and self-centeredness. Better yet, heal us from the sinful nature we were born into. We, Your children, know that You did in fact defeat sin but help us to wait patiently and with obedience until Your return. Thank You, for providing the rebirth that leads to eternity with You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
