What Shall I Render

Those free from condemnation are also free from the frustration of, and obligation to, the flesh. They live in the peace and freedom given by God's Holy Spirit (Rom 8).

Unto Thee O Lord do I lift up my soul, let me not be ashamed, and let not my enemies triumph over me . . . Ps 25

The hope God offers us in His Son does not disappoint us! It is far greater than any suffering we may face in this world. Our hope is based on nothing less than the bedrock person of Christ Jesus, Himself!

Once slaves to sin, who bore fruit for death,but we have been made new and free by dying to what once bound us (old man/law) We have God's Spirit, in order that we might bear fruit to God and live a life of freedom from sin (Rom 6, 7).

It is imperative that we choose or be willing to be the good soil. We can choose and even train ourselves to have ears that hear.

Careless words spoken against God's King(dom), as a basis for life, will bring judgment on the Day of Judgment. (Matt 12:36-37)

If we listen to the Father and learn from Him, we will find life, in the Son!

The patience and humility of our King should inspire us to depend upon and trust our King! (Matt 11, 12; Isa 42)

We can fall into playing spiritual Whack-A-Mole with sin in our lives. This will rob us of the joy we have in the peace Christ brings us, the peace that guards our hearts and minds in Christ. Without that guard, we can lose our joy!

Just as the apostles were sent to preach the good news to the towns and villages of Israel, we also go out in vulnerability, as sheep among wolves. It is very important for us to know and remember the value of the gospel.
