What ever Happened to:
Belief – in a Living Savior. This is a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without need of proof and not a vague idea in which some confidence is placed. It is the cornerstone of our faith and the one claim which differs Christianity from all made man religions, from all other faith systems in the world. Knowing His Word is the only complete and acceptable truth. Knowing He is as He has said. It is not I believe therefore He is; but rather He IS and therefore by His grace, mercy and everlasting kindness, I believe.
Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior. Romans 10:9 That if thou shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. Ephesians 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.I serve a risen savior; He’s in the world today!
Boldness -The quality of standing out strongly and distinctly is what separates those who watch from those who act. It is not something we do it is something we are or have within because of what God has done. Every man is eager to proclaim their own goodness and accomplishments. Few of us have a problem with boldness in this area, but we are reticent to be bold for the Lord.
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 2Corinthians 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 1John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. Philippians 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.Blamelessness – Oh, to be free of guilt, not subject to blame, to be completely acceptable in His eyes with whom we have to do. Not open to exception or reproach. To be like Him. And we are!! We are His and being conformed to His image. The Lord of all creation sees us as perfected; Blameless in His sight.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 1Timothy 6:14 that you keep the commandment without spot and without blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 1John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
