The miraculous excitement of being spiritually born-again transcends life itself. Coming to the awesome knowledge of Jesus as your Savior from hell is to revere our Lord, the Most High.
Each new day God’s unchanging love surrounds believers with His peace. John 14:27. Without any condemnation of sin, the joy of the Holy Spirit is with believers as we wait for the coming glory of our Lord Jesus Christ to return.
We hold dearly our most precious view, that hour when God the Father first allowed us to believe He is real. All believer’s should love God in speechless awe daily with moments of meditation on His greatness.
A rekindled heart of first love devotion for Jesus is a great well full of joy for all believers to tap into.
Having first tasted and drunk the living water of God’s grace a smile spreads from within the heart to face.
Assurance of salvation can never really fade as we continue to drink the joy of being delivered from hell and being heaven bound. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

These woeful and sinful American days when our Sovereign Lord is rejected more and more, Christians can dwell on God Almighty’s control. God is the source and continuation of their jubilant salvation.
God is working all things to His glory and our well-being. Romans 8:28
By slowing down, dialing back life and recalling the miracle of salvation by reliving the thrill of our first love for Christ Jesus, our joy is stirred up.
Our first genuine adoration for God’s love toward us was also filled with knowing we are in His eternal family. Words can’t describe how good it is to remember and revere our first reciprocal love with God our eternal Father.
What a wonderfull truth it is to relive the first discovery and zeal of unity, with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Regaining the memory of that cohesive living miracle of God’s grace, causes the foundation of our belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ, to resurface and be shared as the true purpose of life.
The struggle and challenge of living an obedient Christian life in a society growing more hostile toward God, the Bible and evangelism is hopeful and strengthened by our rekindled hearts of our first love and true devotion for Jesus.
As family and friends see the truth of humankind’s inability to fix what is wrong, God may use our confidence and heartfelt peace with Him, to draw them near.

Rediscovering the foundation for true evangelism is to find again the treasure and wonder of salvation.
With the transport of God’s initial grace, came exultation as true devotion beamed for our First Love. The opening clarity of God’s truth, the truth of being saved from hell, meant so much and will mean more again when we reexamine our old sin life destined for hell. Jesus saves!
Being saved by God’s loving grace is the gold of the knowledge of His truth and becomes the Great Gift we passionately tell others.
Refocusing on the first desire to chase out mundane cares of the world and recapturing the seriousness of your first real devotion to God reignites heavenly thoughts for your real purpose in life.
Pointing to Jesus, the only Savior from hell is the mission of life.
Seeking the holiness of God in our born-again state and dwelling on His purity helped to remove us from the center of our old worldly thoughts and attractions toward sin in this temporary failing world.
At the beginning of our spiritual transformation we were more yielding to learn the Bible. Emptying ourselves of sin by confessing them, repenting or turning from sin and humbling bowing before God.
True godly sorrow over our sin increased allowing our devotion to live and grow for God with stronger resolve to keep on repenting from sin as our new life thrives.
Our young Christian craving to seek the things of God was worn like armor on our heart. A righteous godly fear rose through us to stand firm against sin in the power of the Lord. Ephesians 6:10
*************
Once again we must rekindle our fear of God more than we love our complacency. We must breathe in devotion to God filling all that we do. Renewing our battle by standing firm in Christ and resisting sinful temptations. We honor God as we live in His constant presence.
Knowing Bible truth’s, can’t be given partial dedication any longer. Prayer in meditation on the things of God and living toward becoming like Jesus must increase.
The great strength given through scripture is not just a weapon sheathed in devotion. The word of God is an alive, powerful, sharp two-edged sword to wield while standing firm in the power of the Lord. Ephesians . 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord an in the power of His might.
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Psalm 37:35-40 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I saw him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; for the future of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, Because they trust in Him.
Through God’s plan of the sacrifice of His Son on the cross for our sins and the resurrection of Christ from the grave, Jesus is our joy. We are counted by God as His children through our faith in Christ. Our joy is increased by our steadfast faith in believing all of God’s word, the Bible, from cover to cover.
A marvelous truth to behold is God’s powerful presence in prayer. The nearness of God can cause a righteous fear and zeal to seek Him with passion relishing each sincere union He creates in love.
1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
