Just As Eggs Go With Bacon, Peanut Butter With Jelly, And Hot Dogs With Beans, The Pair Of MERCY & GRACE
Just as eggs go with bacon, peanut butter with jelly, and hot dogs with beans, the pair of MERCY & GRACE also go together and are God’s gift to all that want to receive it. Here’s why.
The Bible says that our sin is a debt (with compounding interest!) that we acquire in our lives that we can never pay back. The consequence for this liability is that every one of us deserves punishment and separation from God for our sins, but God has given us a 'Get Out Of Jail Free Card' that exempts us from the punishment we deserve! You see, the FINE of our sins has been paid for through Jesus Christ who took our sins upon Himself. He didn’t just pay a 'Bail,' HE PAID THE FINE! with this dual pair of MERCY & GRACE.
You see, it’s very simple!
MERCY Is NOT getting (the punishment) that we DO DESERVE (and) GRACE Is getting (the blessings) that we DO NOT DESERVE Friend, you can receive the 'Mercy & Grace' card simply by confessing with your mouth that you are a sinner, believing in your heart in what Christ did paying for your sins and rising from the dead, and start living your life for Him by HIS standards and ways - and not your own.
If you have not done this would you do this right now? Otherwise, TOMORROW is another day of compounding interest on a debt that Jesus has already paid. All you need to do is draw the MERCY & GRACE CARD and your sins will be forgiven.
Will you choose that card today?

Ever get locked out of your house or car? Not good! Even worse - getting locked out of heaven! Here's the key... https://www.notesonlife.org/YDN/archive/2018-12-22.php
What determines how you make decisions? Is it based on what you see, how you feel, or what you think? If so, you might want to rethink that because this is not what the Word of God tells us how to live.
When most people hear the word 'obedience' they often bristle because it goes against our human nature of putting ourselves first because our natural tendency is to want to be in control of our own lives, but God has a better plan!
You see when we listen to God’s guidance, heed His direction and faithfully apply the instruction in His Word, we will always be both in His Perfect Will, and as Joshua 1:8 promises, “Prosper and succeed in all you do.”
Obedience to God and choosing His ways is not always easy, and the British author and lay theologian G.K. Cheserton put this well saying:
It’s not that the Christian faith has been tried and found difficult, but rather it’s been found Difficult and left untried.
So Christian, do not live your life by what you FEEL, but be obedient in FAITH and God will always safely and successfully direct your path.

If you are lost, you need a compass, but even if you have one, which direction is YOUR compass pointing? A compass has 360 points, so the question is, is your needle pointing true north, or one of 359 other degrees that will lead you astray?
You see, in this life we all are 'lost' on our path to eternity, so we need a true compass to lead us to safety. The question is where do we find this compass of life, and what direction does it say we should go?
Jesus gave us the answer when He said:
“ I am the way, The truth, and The life. No man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” John 14:6
You see, the compass Christ gives us will always point 'True North' and just like today’s scripture will always point us on The Way To God.
When you follow HIS Pointer, it will ALWAYS point you to SAFETY.

Jesus’ word in today’s scripture is perhaps one of the strongest and most direct instructions and warnings He gives about one of two paths that people will choose to take in life. So here is His message – plain and simple; You don’t have to do anything to be on the wrong road - all you have to do is do NOTHING and just follow the crowd. The question is “why is this so?” and Jesus answers that by saying:
“The lure of wealth and the Desire for pleasure and comfort Crowd out any thoughts of God and His promises and all thoughts of the consequences of eternity.” Mark 4:19 (Highly Paraphrased for clarity of message)
You see, in this life the broad road is wide and easy with plenty of room for everyone. It’s also more pleasurable and fun and since most people are also on it, it’s both familiar and natural too. Thoughts of the hereafter are not on people’s minds on this path because as Jesus said, any spiritual thoughts are crowded out by those things that distract and mislead.
Listen please! There IS a HEAVEN and there IS a HELL. The road to destruction is easily taken and it is an eternally fateful mistake to not be purposeful to walk the narrow path that leads to an eternity in heaven.
Friend, please take an honest look at your life and ask yourself - Which road are YOU on? If you are not on the right road, don’t do nothing. Change your direction and choose to walk on the narrow path to LIFE!!
