All Of Grace!
By: Robert A. Searles

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them ." Ephesians 2: 8,9,10.

God saved us because he wanted to, not because he had to. He saved us because he loves us, because he created us for himself unto good works. He saved us because he is not willing that any should perish. Our salvation is by grace, through faith alone. He imparted unto us the faith to believe the gospel and to call upon Christ to save us.

At one time we were without God in the world, having no hope; but while we were lost, while we were yet sinners, Christ came to save us, as many as will believe and receive him as Lord and Savior. -
"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances: for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace: and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the spirit." Ephesians 2: 13-22.

Both Jew and gentile are invited by God the Father to partake of his grace, and receive Christ as Savior, and become part of his one body, the church, and enjoy his benevolence forever.

Thought For Today - October 4 - The Lord Hath Need Of You !

The Lord Hath Need of You!
By: Robert A. Searles

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shinneth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not,." John: 1; 1-5.

Jesus and his disciples drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and when they had come as far as Bethpage, and the mount of olives, Jesus had need of an ass and its' colt, that he might humbly ride into Jerusalem as prophesied by Zechariah: 

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout O daughter of Jerusalem: behold thy king cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass." Zechariah 9:9.

Because of his divine power and knowledge, Jesus knew where to send his disciples to find the ass, and the colt. He knew where they were, because in his plan and purpose, he had made them, as he had made all things, and he had placed them at this particular time and place to be used for this special purpose. No one disputed his right to use them for his divine purpose because they were his from the beginning.

Likewise -  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10. 

Therefore, he has made each of us and has placed us in our particular place and callings and has a right to use us as he has need of us to fulfill his purpose and glory.We ought to be willing to be used by our Lord for anything that he has need of that will bring glory and honor to him, and ultimate happiness to ourselves.

"And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethpage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying unto them, go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, tell ye the daughter of Sion, behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them." Matthew 21:1-6.

Thought For Today - October 3 - Once I Was Lost !

Thought For Today - October 3
Once I was lost!
By: Robert A. Searles

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in times past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now walketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace are ye saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2: 1-7.

Once I was lost, but now I am found; once I was blind, but now I can see; Once I was a slave of Satan, but now I am a willing servant of Christ; once I had nothing that would endure. Now I am a joint heir with Christ to forever sit with him in heavenly places and enjoy his wealth and the fatness of his house forever. All by grace through faith, not of works that I should boast but by his mercy he saved me.
Thank you Lord

Thought For Today - October 2 - What Good Thing Shall We Do ?

Thought For Today October 2
What Good Thing Shall We Do?

What good thing shall we do, that we may have eternal life? If we would enter into life we must keep and obey all the commandments of God. There has never been any person on earth who has been able to keep and obey the commandments of God without fail except the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, when God looks upon us, he must declare that : "There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one." Romans 3:10-12. All have failed to keep and obey the commandments of God in one point or another, if not in deed, then in the thoughts and intents of the heart. Therefore, if left to himself, mankind cannot inherit eternal life because: "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23.
Our only hope for salvation is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, who kept the laws and commandments of God perfectly and obeyed the Father in every point of the law. The Lord Jesus, the perfectly obedient son of God offered himself for us as a sin sacrifice so that we, by receiving him as our savior and sin sacrifice, could enjoy everlasting life. :For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Corinthians 5: 21,. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
The only way that we can have eternal life is through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No other way can measure up with God.
"And behold, one came and said unto him, good master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God, but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, which? Jesus said, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, honor thy father and thy mother: and thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man saith unto him, all these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.: Matthew 19: 16-22.

Thought For Today - October 1 - To Know Christ !

Thought For Today - October 1
To Know Christ!
By: Robert A. Searles

To know Christ, whom to know aright is life eternal, and to know the power of his resurrection; to have an intimate relationship with him should be the desire of every child of God. Our prayer ought to be: That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.

We are brothers and sisters of Christ, he being our elder brother. Jesus said: "I ascend unto my Father and your Father, to my God, and your God." Having a common faith with our Lord makes us brothers and sisters with him.

Oh! if only the eyes of our understanding might be opened so that we could see the fabulous riches of Christ and his glory, and to realize that as brothers and sisters of his, we are joint heirs with him and all that is his is ours. Pray that - 

: "The eyes of your understanding will be enlightened: that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." Ephesians 1: 18-23.
