Good morning. We are going to look at some things in the book of Romans. Here He is talking about the Jews, but it applies to people of all beliefs or unbelievers today. If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? Nothing can nullify God's faithfulness, no matter what man may say. As the King James would say "let God be true and every man a liar". We know our God will do what He says He will do. Too many people, even Christians, think they are righteous on their own. But there is none righteous, not even one. If you think you have arrived, then as one of my friends used to say "you are cruisin' for a bruisin' ". Too many people, even Christians, believe that they are justified by their works. If we could do it, we would not need God. We are justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. God is the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. If you could work your way into heaven, it would not be grace but what is due to you like wages. Speaking of Abraham: And without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about 100 years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not deny that there was a problem like some Christians who preach a faith message. Despite knowing that it was impossible for man, "with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief, but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, being fully assured that what He had promised, He was able to perform". Know that whatever He has promised you, He can and will perform. Nothing is impossible for Him. Just keep on believing. It's hard to do that when you are physically and emotionally drained. Father help the reader to maintain his/her beliefs in Your promises. He/she will receive them in due season.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

  Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...
