No one is righteous not even one. Jesus is the only pure and righteous one, as He overcame all sin. Only through Christ are we a new, holy creation. Before Jesus, we are spiritually dead in our sin. After Jesus, sin no longer has any dominion over us. Yet, Jesus was not crucified, buried, and resurrected for us to keep on perpetually sinning just to have grace cover all. You have to kill the sin in your life or else it will kill you.

The law cannot save. The law can only provide direction of what it takes to live a life of perfect obedience. Yet, the law will never save because, Christ alone is our righteousness.

In one of the last letters scribed by Paul, he holds nothing back when writing to the church of Rome. Utilizing his letter to correct them, Paul divinely addresses the issues brought forth by a collection of Jews and Gentiles. In the book of Romans, Paul reminds us that whether Jew or Gentile, we are all sinners and in need of a Savior.

When in seasons of drought, we look to the mountains of life and become weary of what we are up against. Yet, our solutions will never be found in those mountains, but rather only through Christ. In Scripture, we are reminded and encouraged that certain seasons in life are meant for a divine reason. Rather than trying to place a limit on God, eliminate any power of the enemy by calling upon the Name of the Lord.

The clarity of our sinful nature and need of a Savior prompts us to respond in repentance and obedience. Often, practices which propel this desire comes from a life of prayer. Yet prior to Christ and His new covenant, we read how God required sacrifices as a means of cleansing. In the life of Abraham, we see that on Mount Moriah, bring his sacrifice to God meant bringing his everything.

For every mountain high, there is a low valley. Seen in the first chapters of Genesis, God sovereignly intervenes in Noah's life, warning him and his family of the incoming flood. When God wants to bring us to those mountain moments with him, we must realize there is a season of flooding too. But just as the Ark landed Noah onto Mount Ararat with the promise of the rainbow, so too does God fulfill His promises to us.

In our worship, in our requests, in our prayers, we all seek and anticipate for global revival. Yet for God to move on a global scale, God must first work in you. Blessed to be joined by brother Mark Moldovan, we are reminded that if we are wanting to fan the flame of God's saving power around the world, we must first walk in obedience in our own lives.

Today, it is never more needed than for our personal relationship with the Father to be publicly apparent and alive. The good news of the Gospel is the testimony of Jesus Christ. Through Him, His testimony gives us the assurance of eternal life. It is through that confidence of faith, that we are to be propelled into overcoming the world.

If you know God, you know love. With God's Word as our guiding truth, His truth in 1 John leads us down the path of love. In the same way, if you do not know God, you do not know real love. True love requires sacrifice. You have to love your neighbors as yourself. No matter what will event from extending forth to those around us, we have confidence in our relationship with God, because we are fulfilling the will of the Father.

1 John 1 A true sign of a Christ follower is if they love their brother. Through our authentic love, the love Christ displayed for us is what we are to extend to others. Walking in the light means that we understand who God is, what His Word means, and what He wants from us.
