We cannot attain salvation or righteousness through our own efforts. It is a free gift from God. Through Jesus, we can exchange our sin for His righteousness.

Doubly Secure
God confirmed His promise of blessing with an oath. We can confidently take hold of the hope of His blessing, knowing that it is secured by both God’s promise and God’s oath.
Lifeboat
The world around us is sinking further down into sin and decay everyday, but thank God we don’t have to sink with it.
Bus Stop
We were all on the “bus to hell”, at some point in our lives. Thank God for the “bus stop”, Jesus, who made the way that we could get off that bus.
Porcupines
Like these porcupines, we humans can be prickly creatures at times, and we can hurt those who are close to us without meaning to. We must learn to forgive and allow those hurts to be healed.
Telescope
By faith we can ‘see’ things that we cannot see with our natural eyes. By faith we can get a vision of God’s plan for our lives.
Don’t Open That Door
Temptation may seem harmless, but it will lead to sin, which is not harmless at all. If we confess our sin, we will be forgiven (I John 1:9), but that doesn’t mean that we will escape all of the consequences for our sin.
Dynamite
The power of God can remove any obstacle that is preventing you from getting to where God wants you to be. Our faith allows God to release His power in our lives, to remove the mountains in our way.
Don’t Worry
It can be easy to let yourself fall into the trap of worrying about money. We must learn to trust that God will take care of us, and provide for us, just as He takes care of the birds of the air.
Praise Harvester
This verse makes a correlation between praising God and receiving a harvest. Whatever it is that you are believing God for, don’t forget to praise Him and thank Him for it in advance.
