The Sword of the Spirit (118)

The sword of the Spirit is the word of God.  And today, these powerful passages of scripture touched my heart of hearts:

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."  That is, "the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ".

Jesus said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.  Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

And again Jesus said," I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.  I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread also which I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh."

Jesus came to die on a cross.  And on that cross, He bore our sins and shed His blood for each one of us.  Jesus calls us to repent of our sins and come to Him by faith.  Have you opened your heart to Jesus?  Have you repented of your sins?
