Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Men and women from every walk of life have devoted their lives to protecting others. Today we take the opportunity to say
Thank You For Your Service!
Jesus, our Lord and Savior gave the ultimate sacrifice, laying aside his deity in order to come to earth and take on himself our sins.
Philippians 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Because of Jesus’ sacrifice and victorious resurrection from the dead, we have been bought with a price, redeemed to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Now we are his very own. He invites anyone who will believe in the son of God to join the war on sin.
Romans 6:11-14 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
