Jesus said, "It is finished," which means that he accomplished his work of salvation for all mankind, but each person has the responsibility to work out their salvation.

We should follow the example of the Apostle Paul, who, knowing the depth of heinousness of his sin, also understood that God forgives those who genuinely repent.

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus heals ten men from leprosy and only one returns to say ‘thank you’. Are we thankful for everything that we have, everything we enjoy, or are we self-centered and thoughtless?

Learn to recognize the good and verbalize your thankfulness.

In the epistle to the Church in Ephesus, Paul teaches them about what Christ accomplished, who he is, and the gifts of leadership he gave to them.

At Jesus’ baptism we see all three persons of the Trinity. The incarnation took place so that man could come into God’s presence and work out his salvation.

In Paul's second letter to Timothy, he tells him that he will soon face death but will inherit a reward for his faithfulness. And this is true for everyone who is faithful, who has, as Paul says, looked for and embraced the coming of Jesus as the Messiah.

We read Jesus’ genealogy at the beginning of the gospel of Matthew. While it may be boring to read, it shows us that Jesus is truly human. If Jesus is not truly human, then it would have been impossible for him to save mankind. One cannot redeem what one is not.

The Christian life is not about following the rules of the Old Covenant, it is not about having the right doctrines in one's head, it is about a comprehensive change in every aspect of one's life.

In the Gospel of Luke, we read about Jesus healing a woman who had been sick for 18 years, but did so on the Sabbath. The religious leaders tried to chastise him for it but everyone else saw the wonder of what he said and did.
