The Voice That Reminds: Living by the Spirit of Christ

“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” — John 14:26

In one of His most tender and reassuring moments, Jesus speaks to His disciples about what will happen after His departure. Sensing their fear and uncertainty, He offers a profound promise—the gift of the Holy Spirit. In John 14:26, Jesus introduces the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who would come not just as a presence, but as a divine teacher and faithful companion. This verse reminds believers that though Jesus ascended, we are never left alone—God Himself continues to dwell within and among us, guiding, teaching, and reminding us of truth.

Saved by Mercy: Not Earned, But Transformed

“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” -Titus 3:5

Today, we speak about a truth so central to our faith that if we truly grasp it, it will transform how we see God, ourselves, and each other. That truth is the mercy of God, and it is the very foundation of our salvation.

A powerful verse from Paul’s letter to Titus, where Paul reminds him of the heart of the Gospel.

There’s a fundamental question that many of us ponder at some point in our lives:

 “How can I be right with God?”

In a world that often evaluates worth based on performance—our work ethic, achievements, and overall goodness—it’s natural to carry that thinking into our spiritual journey. We might envision God keeping score, weighing our good actions against our mistakes, and hoping for a favourable outcome.

However, what if you knew that God’s love and salvation aren’t contingent upon our spiritual accomplishments? He doesn’t save us based on our goodness; rather, He offers salvation because of His unparalleled goodness.

This concept is powerfully expressed in Titus 3:5, a verse that encapsulates the essence of the Gospel. It serves as a reminder of God’s incredible mercy, the limitations of self-righteousness, and the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit. Embracing this truth can lead to a deeper understanding of our relationship with God and enhance our spiritual journey.

The Eternal Chorus: Every Voice for the Worthy Lamb

“Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.

In a loud voice, they were saying: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,

to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:  "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!"

The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.” - Revelation 5:11-14

Amid the thundering silence of eternity, the heavens erupt in worship. In Revelation 5:11-14, we are given a rare glimpse beyond the veil—a breathtaking vision where angels, elders, and every creature in existence lift their voices in perfect harmony. At the center of it all stands the Lamb, once slain, now exalted. This scene isn't just about celestial glory—it’s a powerful reminder of Christ’s victory, the unity of creation, and the ultimate purpose of worship. These verses pull back the curtain on the worship of heaven and invite us to join the chorus, recognizing that true power, glory, and honor belong to the Lamb who gave everything.
