Jesus is praying for transgressors who haven’t yet turned to him. Scripture says he can save to the uttermost, meaning to the end of time, all who will ever come to him.

If Christ is Lord of believers’ life, our doorposts have been sprinkled by his blood. This is not for forgiveness only but also for protection against the powers of Satan. 

Jesus did not die just to take us to paradise. He died so that every day we could live in beautiful, close fellowship with the heavenly Father.

Who is truly justified by faith? It is the one who knows he is lost and helpless, and he has tried everything and failed. Now he commits his whole life into the Lord’s hands.

Jesus justifies us through faith for a purpose. We are to break from this world completely and be conformed to Christ alone.

Jesus did everything out of love and a desire to bring pleasure to his heavenly father. Our every decision needs to reflect a consciousness of God and a desire to please him.

The house Jesus is talking about in his parables is our walk with him. We are building a foundation of getting to know Christ, of understanding his ways.

God has begun shaking our society, and he is going to shake everything in sight so that he is revealed as the only unshakable power.

A repentant heart never has to hide from the Lord because there is no longer any fear of judgment. If you acknowledge sins with godly sorrow, you will see the master’s face.
