Jesus once told a Pharisee, who had invited Him to his home for dinner, said the following: "But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” (Luke 7: 47b) We, as new-born-Christians, come to Jesus because we have come to recognize that we are sinful people and of need of a Savior. So, we give our hearts to Jesus and ask Him to come into our hearts and change us from who we have become. Many of us have led a life of great sin and others have had a life not so bad, but knew

In the Book of Jeremiah, the Lord directs Jeremiah to tell the people of Judah how they have turned their backs on Him and how much He has shown His love for them, despite their consistent rebelliousness. Jeremiah 2: 13 (NKJV) For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water. After all that God had done for the people of Israel...leading them out of captivity from

The second chapter of the book, "Absolute Surrender" by Andrew Murray, is entitled, "The Fruit of The Spirit Is Love". This chapter can open our eyes to realize how much we are missing, as Christians, by not utilizing the full power of the Holy Spirit to live through us. As stated by Andrew Murray from "Absolute Surrender": "Under the Old Testament you know the Holy Spirit often came upon men as a divine Spirit of revelation to reveal the mysteries of God, or for power to do

Many of us as Christians, struggle with God's grace and forgiveness in our lives. We tend to think that we have gone too far with God's grace. We will say something like; "God, I know you can't forgive me for this sin again, I keep doing the same thing over and over again", or we think we have messed up so bad in our life, that God can never forgive us for all the things we have done and are doing. The great news is that God's grace and forgiveness never ends...If we have a r

Over this past weekend, I have completed reading the Old Testament from "The Daily Bible...In Chronological Order, 365 Daily Readings". I began reading "The Daily Bible" at the beginning of the year. I thumbed through the book to see when I would reach the New Testament. Dated, October 18, I marked the book, so that I knew I was coming to the end of the Old Testament and would begin the story of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The page was entitled: Jesus The Christ, (Ca. 5 B.C.-A.D.

The above statement can be a little confusing, but I will attempt to try and explain what this means. Taken from the book of "Absolute Surrender" by Andrew Murray, here is what he says about the "two sides" of "absolute surrender": Excerpt From Book of Absolute Surrender "A good conscience is complete obedience to God, day by day, and fellowship with God every day in His Word, and prayer - that is a life of absolute surrender. Such a life has two sides - on the one side: 'ab

In the Book of Colossians, the Apostle Paul contends with the "hollow and deceptive philosophy" that the Colossians were dealing with in their time. He was reminding them that they have died and are raised with Christ into a new body and a new family of believers in Christ, which is the church (Colossians 3: 12-15). The Apostle Paul uses the comparison of "taking off and putting on" our clothing. That we must take off our "old self", our old fleshly desires, and... "And have

The above questions are actually "trick" questions. If we have been following Salvation2Surrender.com, we should already know the answers. But to help us a little, I would like to share the following verse from the Book of Galatians: Galatians 2: 20 (NKJV) 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. The heart of the

Amazing...That seems like a simple statement to understand; Rejoice, Be Anxious for Nothing, Pray and then God's peace will follow. Let us look at the full content of the verse in Philippians: Philippians 4: 4-7 (NKJV) Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace

In reading of "Our Daily Bread", in Psalms 90, I am reminded of God's love for His people of Israel. Moses, the great leader of Israel, wrote this Psalm to help all of us understand the love of God. Moses begins by reminding the people of Israel that God is their dwelling place throughout all generations. Read the follow: Psalms 90: 1-2 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from
