Accepting

Lord, please help us to confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from death, so that we will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)  For anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17)  Since we have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, help us to live in union with Him. To keep our roots deep in Him, build our lives on Him, and become stronger in our faith, as we were taught. And help us to be filled with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6-7)  For Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says, ‘The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all.’ Salvation is to be found through Him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us. (Acts 4:11-12)  It is through faith that all of us are God’s children in union with Christ Jesus. We were baptized into union with Christ, and now we are clothed, so to speak, with the life of Christ himself. (Galatians 3:26-27)  For we were God’s enemies, but He made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now that we are God’s friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ’s life! But that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has now made us God’s friends. (Romans 5:10-11)  For as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the desert, in the same way the Son of Man was lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. For God loved the world so much that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior. (John 3:14-17)  Please remember us, Jesus, when You come as King!” (Luke 23:39-43)  For You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16)  Our Lord and our God!  Help us to believe without seeing You! (John 20:28-29)  Please help us always to be accept Your plans for our lives.  We ask you this in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
