A Special Message!!

-
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified (Romans 8:30).
Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” In other words, man became separatedfrom the glory life due to Adam’s transgression. But as a result of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christwe’re no longer short of the glory of God. You were brought into the life of glory the moment you were born again.
Note carefully the tenses in the opening scripture as we read it this time in the Weymouth New TestamentTranslation: “…and those whom He has pre-destined He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also crowned with glory.” Here we identify four vital realities concerning the new creation, which are the result of salvation as consummated by Christ Jesus.
Firstly, you’ve been pre-destined; that means you’re not a chance occurrence; nothing in your life is by chance; you’re not an accident to God, for He knew you before you came.
Secondly, you’ve been called; that means elected, chosen and appointed by God unto the good life. Thirdly, you’ve been justified; that means declared not guilty; as far as God is concerned, there’re no charges against you on account of your sin. Then fourthly, you’ve been crowned with glory; that means brought into a life of beauty, excellence, success and prosperity.
These aren’t things that’ll happen when you get to heaven; they’ve already taken place. We would like you to know that you’ve been pre-destined, called, justified and crowned with glory. You’re no longer short of the glory of God; you’ve been glorified. Little wonder the remarkable words of Jesus in John 17:22: “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them.” You’ve been brought into the glory-life. You were born to show forth the glory of God, and display the wonderful deeds and perfections of Him who has called you out of darkness.
Yes, all men became separated from the glory of God because of sin, but Jesus, through His death, nailed sin to the cross and ushered us into a life of glory. That glory started the very day He was raised from the dead. There’s glory in your life, and God wants you to recognize and walk in that glory.

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
