Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth — called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcisedat that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Isra’el. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God’s promise. You were in this world without hope and without God. But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood. Ephesians 2:11-13

Salvation came first to the Jew, and then to the Gentile. We give thanks to our mighty Lord for this powerful reminder that Salvation is a free gift to anyone who calls upon the name of Yeshua as Messiah and Living Saviour. Thank you, Lord.

So if you were raised along with the Messiah, then seek the things above, where the Messiah is sitting at the right hand of God. Focus your minds on the things above, not on things here on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God. Colossians 3:1-3

Praise God for you are a new creation in Yeshua Messiah! Keep your eyes, heart and mind fixed on Him above and the Lord promises that you too will appear with Him in Glory! Praise God!

In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy. Keep doing what you have learned and received from me, what you have heard and seen me doing; then the God who gives shalom will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

This is a favourite verse for many. It gives us real insight into the nature of God’s character and how we are called to live in Him. This is a prayer we pray for ourselves and our brothers and sisters, alike. Keep walking in His steps. God sees you, and He is pleased with you. Keep going, brother!
