How are we acceptable to God- First we acknowledge God, repent, and receive the blood covering of Jesus. Then we pursue righteousness through the help of the Holy Spirit. In spite of our unworthiness we are given grace to see Christ.

The Jews are God's chosen people. He loves Israel with an everlasting love. There is an election by grace not works and it applies to Gentiles also. We have more joy knowing we are chosen by God through His grace and not by our works.

We don't go looking for God because we love darkness and evil more than light and His goodness. God chooses us and we put off our former ways renewing our mind by His Spirit through the study and application of His word.

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Christ takes our shame, changes our heart and we experience peace.

The ways of the world are a waste of time. When we are friends of the world we are enemies to God. The carnal mind is against the ways of Christ. We must confess Christ as King and deny ourselves to have victory over sin.

We are all sinners saved by grace. Everyday we need His guidance, intercession and His word because we are weak. We have no righteousness but grace and truth come from Jesus Christ.

We will have clarity and peace when we submit our lives to God. Mans system will only produce failure resulting in pain. Christ followers are transformed and equipped to fight the battles of life.

We move from darkness to light by the Holy Spirit. We cannot earn righteousness it is a gift from God. We must repent of our sin, submit our life to the Lord's will and the Holy Spirit will take over illuminating and guiding our walk.

When we come to know God we have the mind of Christ indwelling in us by the illumination of the Holy Spirit. We then become salt and light that preserves and illuminates the world of His teachings.

We celebrate Easter because God is the conquerer, peace giver, ruler and redeemer. Christ washed us and made us accepted before the Lord. We have been transformed therefore we are accepted before Him.
