Another reflection from Roy Lessin Romans 1:17 KJV

The Gospel—where faith is grounded and becomes steadfast. Colossians 1:23

The Sacred Scriptures—where faith responds in trusting obedience. Romans 16:26

The promises and faithfulness of God—where faith receives what is hoped for. Hebrews 11:1

The trials of life—where faith is refined and strengthened. 1 Peter 1:7

The fiery darts of doubt and unbelief—where faith fights the good fight and overcomes the evil one. 1 Timothy 6:12

The Throne of Grace—where faith draws near in prayer with full confidence. Hebrews 10:22

The Lord Jesus Christ—where faith begins its journey and finishes its course. Hebrews 12:2

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17

What is at your core?

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Psalm 51:6

What is at your core? What abides within, at the deepest part of who you are? If truth is there, if light is there, if peace is there, if hope is there, if joy is there, if love is there—Christ is there!

This is my wonderful story—
Christ to my heart has come;
Jesus the King of glory,
Finds in my heart a home.

Was there e’er story so moving,
Story of love and pain;

Was there e’er Bride-groom so loving,
Seeking our hearts to gain?

Now in His bosom confiding,
This my glad song shall be:

I am in Jesus abiding,
Jesus abides in me. –A. B. Simpson

Jesus, the Only One

Jesus is the only Way to God (John 14:6).

The only Door to enter (John 10:7-9).
The only Salvation to receive (Acts 4:12).
The only Living Bread to feast upon (John 6:35).
The only Truth to know (John 14:6).
The only Light to walk in (John 8:12).
The only Vine to abide in (John 15:1).
The only Life to live (John 14:6).
The only Good Shepherd to follow (John 10:14).
The only Sure Foundation to build upon (1 Corinthians 3:11).
The only Mediator to call upon (1 Timothy 2:5).
The only Lord to serve (1 Corinthians 8:6).

“Look to Jesus for everything…God has simplified our life of faith in His dear Son. Severing us from all other sources, alluring us away from all other dependencies, and weaning us from all self-confidence, He shuts us up to Christ above, that Christ might be all and in all.” –Octavius Winslow-

Live by Roy Lessin

Live in Him — As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him. Colossians 2:6 NKJV

Live through Him — Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37 NKJV

Live from Him — For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:36 NASB

Live with Him — Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. Romans 6:8 NKJV

Live as Him — He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1 John 2:6 NKJV

Live by Him — ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6 NKJV

Live for Him — yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:6 NKJV

The Precious Blood of Christ from Roy Lessin

You were not redeemed with the corruptible things, like silver or gold…but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:18-19 NKJV

How greatly blessed and favored you are today because of the blood of Jesus Christ. Without His precious blood your life would be covered in darkness, hopelessness, and despair; instead, your life is flooded with light, filled with hope, and enriched with spiritual blessings.

The blood of Jesus has taken you from the dungeons of slavery, to the highway of holiness; from the cruelty of a harsh taskmaster, to the tender care of your loving Father; from a descending stairway of bondage, to the ascending pathway of spiritual freedom.

The blood of Jesus cleanses you from the stain of sin, releases you from the chains of sin, frees you from the power of sin, saves you from the judgment of sin, and heals you from the pain of sin. The blood of Jesus restores and reconciles you to God. The blood of Jesus has not lost its power (and it will never lose its power) to make it possible for you to begin each day forgiven, washed clean, and clothed in the garments of His righteousness.
