VARIOUS SCRIPTURES

When God created man, He placed him in the paradise of a Garden where he could enjoy anything and everything except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. (Genesis 2:16-17) The major consequence of Adam’s sin was our being eternally separated from God. But thank God for Jesus! Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, restored that which man lost at the fall and gave us back privileges that were forfeited by Adam. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Jesus said, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) Paul informed the men of his day that “…in Him we live and move and have our being…” (Acts 17:28) Peter boldly proclaimed to the hearers in the 1st century, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) The authority we have over Satan isn’t in and of ourselves, but The Name of Jesus. Our Lord tells us in Luke 10:19 that, “…I have given you the power 'to tread upon serpents' and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you.”

Let’s celebrate our God today simply because of the access we have through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Let’s Pray:
“Father, thank You for Jesus and the access we have through Him, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Daily Prayer:
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!”
