Hello,
I am Christine, teacher
by profession but writing is one of my hobby. As you can see, I Love to share
my thoughts and knowledge about "the Gospel of Grace". I’m an
Anglican (Episcopal), I grew up in strict Christian family. When I was young my
Grandma gave me Bible which contains lot of pictures/paintings and I still
remember the very first book I read from the Bible was the Book of Revelation
that amazed me. I think, “Curiosity helps to explore unimaginable things.”(my
quote😄) and Bible has it all, the more you explore, the more you realise you
knows nothing; so stay curious and humble!
I think my
knowledge is like a tiny drop and there's a much more to explore in this oceans.
So, I’m here to sharing that tiny drops with you. Please share your thought
with me. I hope you enjoy my blogs. If you like to join me – I'm on Twitter and
Instagram @TwityChristine and my brother Richard @BlueGott
See you in my
next blog till then miss me… God bless you and have a great day! Love you all…..
xx
🌼BE THE LIGHT in this dark world... 🌼
By for now,
Christine

Day 2
Today's reading : Romans 4
1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the
promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the
law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the
father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Lent
For if Jesus had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.There remaineth
therefore a rest to the people of God. For He that is entered into His rest, He
also hath ceased from His own works, as God did from His.
HEBREWS 4:7-10
---------------
For the word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the heart.Neither is there any creature that is not
manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him
with whom we have to do.
HEBREWS 4:12-13
---------------
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Ash Wednesday
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as
the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they
may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But
thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;That thou appear
not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father,
which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:16-18
------------------------------------------

may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But
thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;That thou appear

But when thou doest alms, let not
thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
MATTHEW 6:3-4
------------------------------------------
Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
MATTHEW 6:8
After this manner therefore pray
ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.
MATTHEW 6:9-13
------------------------------------------
For where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine
eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
MATTHEW 6:21-22
------------------------------------------
No man can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
MATTHEW 6:24
------------------------------------------
Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body
than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for
they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one
cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the
grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall
he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
(For after all these things do the
Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
MATTHEW 6:25-33
