8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,

9not by works, so that no one can boast.
The parable of the Lost Sheep, taught by Jesus Christ, is one of the most beloved stories in the Bible, a favorite for Sunday school classes because of its simplicity and poignancy.
Jesus was speaking to a group of tax collectors, sinners, Pharisees, and teachers of the law. He asked them to imagine having a hundred sheep and one of them strayed from the fold. A shepherd would leave his ninety-nine sheep and search for the lost one until he found it. Then, with joy in his heart, he would put it on his shoulders, take it home, and tell his friends and neighbors to rejoice with him, because he had found his lost sheep.
Jesus concluded by telling them there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent.
Jesus healed all who came to Him.

But Jesus called the children to him and said,
"Let the little children come to me,

belongs to such as these."
Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not
receive the kingdom of God as a little child

are made His footstool.
14For by one offering He has perfected
forever those who are being sanctified.
15But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us;
for after He had said before,
16“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into
their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”
17then He adds,
"Their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more."

And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might
be made right with Father God because of our faith in Christ,
not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever
be made right with God by obeying the law.

That is the good news of the gospel.
How do we define love?
God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions.
He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make
Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have
a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son
(who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.

PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
John 14:6 (that says,)
... I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
A thought, be careful who you judge.
Come boldly to Jesus, rest at His feet and receive all that you need today! Joseph Prince shows you how you can receive effortlessly when you seek Jesus Himself instead of just His blessings. Learn from the Old Testament love story of Ruth and Boaz the power of resting at Jesus' feet and allowing Him to deal with your problem. When you rest, He works-and He will not stop until He has resolved your matter! Be encouraged as you see His love and care for you, and His willingness to protect you, provide for you and redeem you out of all your troubles!
Unmerited Favor
Great Music
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves;
it is the gift of God.Many a time, people ask me, “Pastor Prince, I know that God’s
promises are true, but how can I be sure that His promises will come true in my life?My friend, if you want God’s promises to be sure in your life,
you cannot depend on yourself. If you depend on yourself—
your obedience, goodness, service and even faith—
you will not be able to receive God’s promises. But when you depend
on God’s grace—His unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor
toward you—that is when His promises become sure in your life.This was true of the woman with the issue of blood.
(Matthew 9:20–22) She didn’t go
around saying, “I must have faith…
I hope that I have enough faith…I will have faith…
I will not lose faith.” No, she was only conscious of the grace of
Jesus—how He always healed the sick, how powerful He was in
raising the dead and how willing He was to use that power for her healing.She just saw His grace abounding toward her, so much so that she said,
“If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
And when she came behind Jesus and touched the very hem of His
garment, she was healed. At that same moment, Jesus stopped,
turned around and said to her, “Be of good cheer, daughter;
your faith has made you well.”When the woman saw His grace, God saw her faith! And so it was by grace, through faith, that God’s promise became sure in her life.
God wants you to see His grace. And when you see His grace, He sees your faith. God says, “For by grace are you saved through faith.” The Greek word for “saved”, sozo, doesn’t just mean to save from hell, but also to heal, preserve and make whole. So it is by grace that you are made whole, kept healthy, preserved and blessed. It is by grace through faith that God’s promises become sure in your life.
My friend, don’t worry if you feel that you lack faith. Begin to see God’s grace in your situation and He will see that as faith. And because He sees your faith, you will receive the breakthrough you need!
Thought For The Day
When you see Gods grace, He sees your faith, and you will receive your breakthrough.
29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
My friend, the moment you are born again,
you have Jesus in your life. And when you
have Him in your life, get ready for His
abundant supply to come your way!
But don't look for the blessings, look to Jesus-
He is the power to get wealth.
(Deuteronomy 8:18)
The presence of the Son of the living God
in your life attracts good things.
Because of His grace toward us, Jesus,
though He was rich, was made poor at the cross
for your sake so that
"you through His poverty might become rich".
