Knowing the word of God.

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Romans 10:1‭-‬3 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.10.1-3.KJV

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

Romans 7:1‭-‬2 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.7.1-2.KJV

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Hebrews 4:2‭-‬3 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/heb.4.2-3.KJV

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:20‭-‬21 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.5.20-21.KJV

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28‭-‬29 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.8.28-29.KJV

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1th.1.10.KJV

Romans 6:3‭-‬4 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.6.3-4.KJV

*Good morning and happy Tuesday!* *Lord, I Love You, but...* *TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:* _10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised......._ *Hebrews 6:10-12 NIV* *TODAY'S WORD:* Most of us are quick to declare our love for God, but at times our reluctance to serve Him tells a different story. Honestly consider whether you have ever found yourself saying or thinking, I love you, Lord, but don't call me to do that! Or perhaps you served Him, but with a flawed attitude: If no one else will do it, then I guess I will. What causes us to be reluctant servants? *Busyness:* Sometimes our schedules are so full that there's no space to follow the Lord...

18If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. John 15:18 (NIV) Don't be surprised brothers and sisters in Christ if you have been rejected by this world! Our Savior was rejected by this world while He was saving all of humanity. Psalm 27:10 reminds us that even our family may reject us. Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close. Have you experienced rejection recently from your family, friends, or co-workers? Ask God to hold you close as you face whatever rejection, hate, or abandonment you have experienced. Or maybe you are having fear of rejection which is holding you back from boldly proclaiming your salvation. We do not need to fear rejection because we have full acceptance from God through the blood of Christ! If we try to live for the approval of others, we will be defeated by their inevitable rejection. But, don't worry we have immeasurable love, grace, and hope in our Savior we only need His approval. Romans 15:7 Accept...

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. Romans 14:6 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.14.6.KJV

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? Galatians 5:6‭-‬7 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.5.6-7.KJV

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10‭-‬11 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.2.10-11.KJV

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/act.2.38.KJV

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Galatians 5:1‭-‬4 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.5.1-4.KJV
