Title: Salvation by Grace only!

-
‭Romans‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭KJV‬
[1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 
https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.5.1.KJV
Devotion: I used to have a friend who lived upright, he obeyed all laws and he was very kind and gentle. He cannot hurt a fly. He believed in his heart that this will earn him eternity with Christ. No matter how you persuade him he would not agree he felt he must work for his salvation. 
 Then one day he was led of the holy Spirit to read the letter of Paul to the Romans and he understood that salvation cannot be earned but can be received only by Grace. It's is a free gift. 
 Do you still believe you can earn salvation through good works? Are you struggling to obey the laws of God? It is a good thing you're doing but it cannot earn you righteousness with God, only your faith in Jesus Christ as the son of God who laid down his life for your sin, my sin and everybody's sin will make you right with Him. 
  Salvation is by grace not by good works, but being saved is not a licence to sin but to continue to strive to live right with God till the Holy Spirit will makes you perfect. (Romans 6:1 & 2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?)
  The Lord assist you to believe today and make you perfect in Jesus name. Amen.
Please share this with your neighbours and family and let's know your thoughts on this topic. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
