The Good, the Bad, and the Blessed

" Once again, my people will see the difference between what happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the person who serves me and the one who does not." Malachi 3:18

God will show mercy and favor to those who obey Him and serve Him. Nothing we do for the Lord is ever useless. 1Corinthian 15:58.

Thank you Lord for reminding me that whenever I serve you, there is a reward that awaits me.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Bible Study / Salvation Is For All / Romans 10:5-13

Moses wrote this about being put right with God by obeying the Law: " Whoever obeys the commands of the Law will live." But what the Scriptures says about being put right with God through faith is this: "You are not to ask yourself, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down). Nor are you to ask, Who will go down into the world below?" (that is to bring Christ up from death). What it says is this: "God's message is near you, on your lips and in your heart" - that is, the message of faith that we preach. If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. The scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed." This includes everyone , because there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles: God is the same Lord of all and richly blesses all who call to him. As the scripture says, "everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved."
