UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE - Pastor (Dr) E. O. Abina

1. “Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 

2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 

4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 

5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee” (Lk.24:1-6 NKJV).

On one Sunday of the year, Christians from all walks of life throughout the world celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL For Friday 9 May 2014 - THEME : MAXIMIZING YOUR LIFE BY  PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 

Memory Verse:  Luke 12:23 

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.


Read:
Luke 12:16-23

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

“Saved, Sanctified, and Justified”

                                                            THIS IS IT !!!!

                                          Saved:

Matt 10: 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matt 24: 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 1 pet 3:18-20

We are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23). We are born with sin (Psalm 51:5), and we all have chosen at one time to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20;1) (John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.

Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46;Revelation 20:15).
