Grace - the keys of the kingdom of heaven

Jesus asked "Who do you say I am?" and Peter answered "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven..." (Mat 16:15-19)

Blessed are we for the Father in heaven has revealed Christ (Grace) to us, the keys of the kingdom of heaven. For by Grace we are saved through faith... (Eph 2:8). Hear Him!

The Tree of Life

"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." (Mat 10:39)

The more Christ conscious (the tree of life) we are, the less self conscious (the tree of knowledge of good and evil) we become. Give up your life for Him and you'll find your true life, a life of great abundance.

This is how we know what love is

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." (1 Jn 3:16)

God is love (1Jn 4:8) and only if we know how much He loves us, it is hard for us to love others. Set our eyes on Jesus and His love will flow through us to love others. The more Christ conscious we are, the less self conscious we become. Hear Him!

For God so loved the world

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." (John 3:16)

He gave His life for us, are we willing to give ours? We won't be able to give up our life for Him until we know His love for us (1Jn 3:16). Let us behold Jesus and His love and He will transform us to give our life for Him. Hear Him!

He who have ears, let him hear

Jesus said "He who have ears, let him hear" (Mat 11:15)

Jesus loves us and wants to lead us on this journey everyday. Unless we are willing to follow what we hear, we will not hear Him. Be willing and you will hear Him!

Our salvation is sealed

"... after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise," (Eph 1:13).

The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of our salvation. No one can ever take it away from us. Hear Him!

The church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against

"... and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Mat 16:18).

Peter being the only one who knew and spoke... He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. So are we who embraced Grace. We are His church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against. Behold Jesus and we shall be so full of Him that the devil can't even come near. Hear Him!
