Walk in Newness of Life
A Blessed Easter to you all...
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Romans 6:3-5

Coming BACK ! !
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
In reflecting on the completed work of Christ during this Easter season, let us not forget that He is coming back!! May we express our gratitude to the Lord for the sacrifice He made by living our lives to please only Him.

Anxiety
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Anxiety is prevalent in our culture. We tend to worry about every thing. Peace is elusive. God tells us in Philippians how to have peace. He tells us to bring our concern to Him with thankfulness. Why thankfulness? We thank Him in advance for taking care of our request. Whatever He does will be right and work for good. There is no need to be anxious about any thing. Let God handle it all.

Salvation
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
God made salvation so simple, but so many people don’t seem to understand how to be saved. Note in John 3:16 the key word is believeth. Baptism, the “sinner’s prayer,” nor anything you “do” will not keep your soul from perishing in the lake of fire. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, 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. There is nothing else to do…simply believe. Believe what? Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: I Corinthians 15:3b-4 Salvation is obtained when you put your faith in Christ – how simple!
