There is a chemistry of the heart that is activated when we grasp the magnitude of God’s love for us. It’s that love that causes us desire Him, and it’s that desire that makes us to want to walk with Him.

What sparks that “want to?” It’s not faith in what we do, but in what Christ has done on our behalf.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:23-24)

Only by God’s grace can we sinners stand before God without pride or despair, knowing that we are clothed in Jesus’ righteousness before a holy God.

To know I have my wife’s support and to be one in the Lord is absolutely crucial. I would not have been able to do the work in ministry that I have for four decades, had I not had Kathy’s support.

We love because God first loved us (1 Jn. 4:19), and such love is the chemistry of the Spirit that compels us to live for God.

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights. (Psalm 18:32-33 NIV)

A prayer in Jesus’ name is not simply a prayer for our personal benefit – that would be a prayer in our name. Prayer in Jesus’ name submits our finite understanding to God’s infinitely good plan to show Christ’s character and care. Whenever we pray in Jesus’ name we are praying as Jesus did: “Yet, not my will, Father, but your will be done.”

Because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” (1 Cor 1:30-31)

Father, I know I can have confidence in you in the midst of all life’s circumstances, because you love me and use everything to accomplish your good goals. Help me to trust you no matter what I face today.

What hope does Revelation 21 give for us today?

By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Eph 2:8-9

In the Old Testament, we see God providing manna for food, water from a rock, and hope in a promised Messiah. In our need for a Savior, God sent his son, the risen Christ!
