Bible verse of the day...Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - - not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse


We are saved because God made it possible. Without His divine grace I don't know what will happen to us all. We should be thankful that through His son, Jesus Christ, we have salvation. We can never be save by our good deeds alone but by accepting Jesus in our lives. It is great to know that there is a loving God who made us.

Bible verse of the day...Genesis 2:7 (NIV)

...the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

We all came from dust and when die we will go back the way we were created. God created us and gave us life on earth. We should be grateful to Him because we were given the chance to experience life. Life here on earth is not perfect but at least we are learning so many things while living. I think this is the best gift God has given me...and that is simply being alive and free.

Bible verse of the day...Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

I've received Jesus Christ as my personal savior long time ago and I'm still learning from His words. It is difficult to live as a Christian because there are many trials that comes along the way. The more I proclaim my faith , the more problems I face. But even things are very tough and sometimes I feel like I want to give up. I talk to Jesus and He reminds me not to fear anything but to hold on to Him. Then, I end up singing with thanksgiving.

Bible verse of the day...Philippians 2:5-6 (NIV)

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped... Philippians 2:5-6 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

We should imitate the ways of Jesus because He being God came on earth to serve us and even die for us on the cross. This verse is about humility again. Many of us failed to be humble before God. We do things our way and tend to forget serving God. I believe that one of our purposes in life is to serve God and become a blessing for others.

Bible verse of the day...Ephesians 2:4-5 (NIV)

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - - it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

I believe that through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we can be saved and have eternal life. He is my personal savior and without Him dying on the cross there can be no salvation for all humanity. Indeed, God is a loving God and cares for us even though we are sinners. I pray that everyone accepts Jesus as their savior because there is no way to have salvation but through Him.

Bible verse of the day...Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

I agree with what scripture is saying that be humble and not to think of yourself greater than others. Many times I've encountered people who thought of others lesser than them because they have finished two degrees or such. These people treat others rudely and cannot accept that someone is richer or more intelligent than them. I pity these kind of people because they didn't know that everything they have are from God. It is merely a privilege and God can take that from them any time He wants to. He gave them that position or status because He wants them to serve their purpose. Unfortunately, there are people who take advantage of it and does not use it for God's glory. Humility is a word that everyone should be learned. This reminds me of one of my favorite bible verses...Matthew 5:5 which says "God gives special blessings to those who are humble and sets Himself against those who are proud." With this verse, I think there is nothing wrong if we humble ourselves before God and man.

Bible verse of the day...Jonah 2: 1-2 (NIV)

From inside the fish Jonah prayed..."In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry." Jonah 2:1-2 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse:

Our God is an awesome God. In times of trouble He always rescues me. There were times in my life that I was at the verge of death and I called upon the Lord to help me. Well, He did and He always does. I'm grateful everyday that He is there to give me hope and courage to face what lies ahead of me. However, I'm no longer afraid to face death as long as Jesus is right beside me and leading me the way.
