Today we talk about 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 verse 21: For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [[a]endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].
Today we look at how to be at peace in Christ by not being anxious for anything. Knowing your Heavenly Father is key in order to be able to trust in Him in every circumstance, in everything in your day. Know that He is for you and not against you. Be set free from all worry and anxiety so that you can be secure in the love and peace of God in Christ.
God the Father rescues us out from under the powers of darkness when we the ultimate decision to make Jesus our choice. Our acceptance and desire to receive Him as our Savior and Lord. We also talk about how faith played a central role in our believing in the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since we were not around to witness His Life on earth and the ultimate sacrifice at the Cross.
Many verses in the Bible are conditional. You only receive the benefits of what God has for you if you commit to an action and remain steadfast in that action. Psalm 91 is a popular chapter for many, but it too is conditional. Plagues can come near your tent (Ps 91:10), and we can be accessible by evil (Ps 91:8) if we do not dwell in the secret place of the Most High (Ps 91:1).
In this program we draw the distinction between the popular Psalm Chapter 91, and the position of the believer as a new creation based on the finished works of Christ at the Cross.
The second of two programs looking at Luke 16:19-31, regarding the rich man and the destitute Lazarus. On earth Lazarus was at the gate of the rich man, begging for anything that may drop from the man’s table. After both died (in the physical sense), the rich man and Lazarus switched positions. The man was taken to Hades (the place of the dead) by angels, while Lazarus was finally absent his afflictions in Abraham’s bosom. The selfish man was now experiencing worse than what Lazarus experienced begging at the man’s gate. The man saw Lazarus far off across a great chasm between them. That chasm that has been fixed, that separates those who reject salvation and those who are blessed by receiving it by confessing Jesus as their Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10).

This program briefly discusses life without a relationship with Jesus, and spends much of the rest of the program on what it looks like to spend time focusing our heart on Jesus.
Using our God-given Faith and experiencing miracles, instead of trusting in our senses, walking by sight, going around the same mountain yet one more time.
You were never meant to carry cares yourself. You can choose to keep your problems or cast them onto Him. Giving them to Jesus.
