What is it? #55- can't see the wood for the trees

You know the first few second I didn't see anything and I was already starting to get worried because this is something that usually comes naturally to me...and then I suddenly saw it- it is a dragon. Chinese kind of dragon, with a beautiful head and a long lizard body. I can see it so clearly now. Isn't that funny?
ReplyDeleteACCESS TO GRACE BY STEVE FINNELL

What is God's grace and how do men access that grace? Grace is not earned, it is obtained.
Grace is an unmerited favor granted by God to all who meet His requirements.
Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ 2 through whom we have gained access by faith unto this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (NIV 1973)
A. Justified through faith, which is obtained by hearing and believing the gospel. (Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.) NIV 1973
B. Grace is accessed by faith. Faith is not accessed by grace.
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--(NIV 1973)
What is the gift of God? Answer: Salvation through faith.
Grace is the reason salvation is available through faith. Grace in and of itself cannot save anyone. Grace must be obtained.
Grace is available only because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. (NIV 1973)
Salvation is available to all men that meet God's terms for accessing His grace.
Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. (NIV 1973)
The truth is, many are waiting for Jesus to return who have not accessed God's grace.
HOW TO ACCESS GOD'S GRACE
1. Faith--John 3:16
2. Repentance--Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19
3. Confession--Romans 10:9-10
4. Water Immersion--Mark 16:16, Acts 22:16
YOU ARE INVITED TO FOLLOW MY BLOG>> steve-finnell.blogspot.comI like the clouds and anything you show for us to guess! After you said now that you saw violins on the curtains, I agreed - I wasn't full of imagination on the day you showed it :) This time I see a rose and leaves, it's such a wonderful picture and tree, I never saw something like that! Hope you have a very nice day, dear Kezzie!

DenisesPlanet.comThere's definitely an owl in that tree and he's looking a bit incredulous (really!) and a bit fed up.

The curtains remind me of a bunch of the dancers, lined up in Busby Berkley style, but out of Disney's Fantasia, were they candlesticks? On the left panel they've got their right shoulder up (the left one as we look at it) and in the middle it's the other shoulder and the right panel they're back to the first shoulder - they're obviously shimmying to some fantastic dance tune lol
