Our motto
is taken from Ephesians 1:11-14
In
whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
The text states that in Christ we have
an inheritance that was predetermined before the foundation
of the world. It was it the mind of God to save us before
he created the world. This inheritance was according to the
purpose of Christ, who was to die for our sins on the
cross, thus bringing us salvation. Christ has and will work
all things according to the will of his father.
But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are
called according to his purpose. Romans
8:28
Love - John 3:16
For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. Also see I John 4:7-9 and
Philippians 1:9-11
Inheritance
- Ephesians 1:11-14
In whom also we
have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after
the counsel of his own will That we should be to the praise
of his glory, who first In whom ye also trusted, after that
ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in
whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that
holy Spirit of promise. Which is the earnest of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, unto the praise of his glory. Also see
Acts 30:32, 26:18, Hebrews 9:15
Forgiveness
- Matthew 6:14-15
For if ye
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you But if ye forgive not men
their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
Encouragement
- Romans 15:4-5 For everything that was written
in the past was written to teach us, so that through
endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we
might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and
encouragement give you a spirit of unity among
yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one
heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Also see Hebrews 6:10-12
Each moment of LIFE is a gift of God.
Psalms 39:4 |
