Hi mabel,

I`m on your blog, hey what a difference. 

What a great message, so clear and so needed in today`s busy, noisy and complicated world. Just the simple truth as you have written.

So well done. 

Marilyn.

"Jesus Christ did his part now we are to do our part to accept the free gift of Salvation, by Grace through Faith."

Luke 14:27 "...whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. ... 28 ...count the cost... 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple."

@existential mabel John 3.16 indeed contains such wonderful, ever-relevant Gospel truth to be proclaimed!

sorry i havent been around much, having a tough time at the moment but God...i am amazed at the number of people who have viewed thus far. it was a moment i ran with and hence the blogg not one for doing bloggs. it was a Holy Spirit moment i believe.

i still have much to learn and do struggle with understanding things but the Holy Spirit really helped me to do this blogg

i would like to add that its the blood of Jesus Christ that is important.

once we believe WHAT Jesus Christ did for us. we are sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit Ephesians 1:13. Romans 10:9-13 is another good scripture.

Jesus Christ died  and shed his precious blood for all of our sins, yes all of our sins past present and future sins. the power is in the blood of Christ. We are 'under the blood' the stain of our sin is now covered by the blood of Christ. Jesus Christ has redeemed us he has paid in full for all of our sins. put simply (well hopefully!) this now means that God no longer sees us as sinner's who are under his wrath...God now sees imputed righteousness because of what Christ did for us. we are now children of God.

its the blood that has the power to save not good works, good character, generous donator of time and money etc.  although all of these things are good to do.anyone who thinks that they will automatically (if indeed they give much thought to that) go to heaven when they die is gravely mistaken.

good works are good to do, but not because we mistakenly think it will get us to heaven. good works once we are saved are the fruit of salvation. we now do good works because of What Jesus Christ did for us. and our time remaining here is to go and spread the gospel of salvation which is what i am attempting to do here..not easy! as i am not naturally one for 'sticking my neck out! '

anyone outside of this God sees as the child of sin aka the devil. and therefore NOT children of God.

Disclaimer: i dont imagine i will cover all the salient points but i am doing my best!

oh and i havent done a blogg before ...all i want to do is to get this message out here! so excuse the rustic quality!

Oh so needed mabel, to know the blood of Jesus. As you so rightly have said  - there is power in the blood of Jesus. Such power that can wash away my sin, is absolutely astounding. 

You certainly have a heart and anointing to speak this great truth. 

its been a journey from 2020 lock-down and continuing..when everyone, the church included, ran to the hills and i was left all alone. i had been 'watching this event, corona virus, forming back in 2019' i had no idea how Big it would be...i am constantly reminded of this scripture
