Bible Verse of the Day Wednesday June 1st , 2022

 Romans 14:11 It is written: As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.

When we see the term “it is written” starting a New Testament verse, it indicates a verse from the Old Testament. For example, from Isaiah 45:23b, “Before me every knee will bow; by me, every tongue will swear.” What God promises will undoubtedly come to fruition. Consequently, all that place their faith and trust in Christ Jesus have an anchor for their souls (Numbers 23:19; Hebrews 6:13-19).

God does not desire that all people bow down to Him out of some need within his being. On the contrary, God is well aware that all good in this life comes from within Himself. Consequently, our only path to righteousness is surrendering ourselves, heart, mind, body, and soul to God through Christ Jesus. In the same manner that grace comes from God, so does judgment because humanity rejects and despises His grace.

There is only one requirement for salvation, contrary to the message from the works salvation advocates. As a matter of fact, Jesus assures us that He is the only way. He said that He was the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5). Sadly, many people do not accept the free gift of salvation because of unwarranted anger against God. These lost souls say that they cannot believe that God would send someone to Hell. The truth is that God does not send anyone to Hell; a person sends themselves to Hell by refusing to accept Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We must understand that "Lord' and "Savior" are two different terms. Jesus is our Savior when we fully accept His sacrifice on the Cross and place our faith and trust in Him alone. Jesus is our Lord when we turn our backs on the world's ways and surrender our entire bodies and souls to Him. When we say to Jesus: I am giving up any worldly desires and surrendering myself to You to do with me what you want. 

A day is coming that every knee will bow to Christ Jesus. As for us as Christians, our knees are already bent to the one that brought about our salvation. We live in expectation of a day when all people will bow before the King of Kings. Until that time arrives, let us make every effort to ensure that we can influence as many as possible to bow before Christ Jesus, not in fear but in joy and peace.
