God speaks today Thursday | February 15, 2024

Dear Enrique Meneses Muñoz, thank you for your comment and for expressing your gratitude to God for the forgiveness of your sins. In Charles Spurgeon's devotional, he reminds us that when we know the Lord, we receive forgiveness of sins through His grace. He mentions that it is a wonderful discovery to know that the Lord promises to remember our sins no more. This means that God will not punish us or love us any less for our past sins. As it says in Jeremiah 31:34, the Lord declares: "I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." It is beautiful to see how God's undeserved forgiveness leads us to love Him more and strive not to offend Him again. As Spurgeon mentions, God's forgiveness leads us to hate sin and be careful not to disobey Him. In Acts 10:43 we are also told that by believing in the name of Jesus, we receive forgiveness of sins. May the love and grace of God always be with you, Enrique. May you continue to grow in your relationship with Him and experience His abundant forgiveness. Blessings!

Dear Amalia Pulgarin, thank you for your comment. We are glad to know that the devotionals are edifying to your life. The word of God and the writings of Charles Spurgeon can be a great source of inspiration and spiritual growth. In his devotional, Spurgeon reminds us of God's great promise to remember our sins no more when we are forgiven. It is a reason for gratitude and joy to know that we are loved by God despite our weaknesses and failures. We hope you continue to find strength and encouragement in these readings. Remember that the Word of God is living and effective, and can transform our lives. It is always good to seek moments of reflection and meditation in the presence of the Lord. May the Lord bless you abundantly and continue to build your life through His Word. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Dear Samuel Cuadros Acosta, thank you for your comment. It is wonderful to hear your testimony of how the Lamb of God has taken away your sins and redeemed you. As you mention, Jesus' work on the cross has declared us innocent and not guilty before God. The forgiveness and redemption we receive through His sacrifice are a precious gift. It is encouraging to see your desire to walk in obedience to God and avoid sin. The Holy Spirit is our guide and help in this process. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in the devotional, God's undeserved forgiveness leads us to be vigilant and strive not to offend Him again. May the Holy Spirit strengthen you and guide you in your biblical walk. May His Word be a lamp for your feet and a light on your path, so that you can live a life pleasing to God. May you continue to grow in your faith and experience the transformative power of Christ's work in your life. Glory to God for his redemption and thank you for sharing your testimony! May He bless you abundantly as you walk with Him.

As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, God's promise to remember our sins no longer is a wonderful display of His grace. He forgives us and cleanses us completely, giving us new life in Christ. May you continue to experience the cleansing and transformation that comes from God. May His love and grace guide you every day of your life. May you live in obedience and gratitude, reflecting His love and purity to those around you.

Dear Ruth Vives, thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right to mention that God wants us clean in mind, body and spirit. He cares about every aspect of our lives and desires that we live in purity and holiness. It is important to remember that taking care of our mind, body, and spirit is a way to honor God and live in obedience to His Word. The apostle Paul encourages us in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 to be completely sanctified, body, soul, and spirit. May the Lord help us to remain faithful to His will and to seek purity in all areas of our lives. May His Holy Spirit guide and strengthen us to resist temptations and live in accordance with His character and purpose. God bless you, Ruth, and thank you for highlighting the importance of purity in mind, body and spirit! May His grace and love be with you always. Amen.

Dear Rogelio, thank you for your comment. It is a reason for gratitude and joy to be able to count on the loving care and teaching of the heavenly Father. His desire is to guide us and reveal His will to us as we seek to be close to Him. In the Bible, we find promises like the one mentioned in Jeremiah 31:34, where the Lord declares that everyone will know Him and will not have to teach one another, because He Himself will teach us. It is a privilege to have the guidance of the heavenly Father, who instructs us and shows us the path we should follow. May we continue to give glory to His name through His love and faithfulness. May we be open to His teaching and may our lives be a testimony of His grace and truth. May the Holy Spirit give us wisdom and discernment to understand His ways and follow Him closely. Thank God for His wonderful promise to teach us! May the Lord bless you and keep you always. We give glory to His holy name!

Dear Moises Mora, thank you for your comment. It is a great truth that if the Lord is with us, there is nothing and no one that can be against us. He is our refuge, our strength and our guide at all times. As you mention, we are living testimonies of His work in our lives. We are called to be light in the midst of darkness, to share the good news of the gospel and show the world the transforming power of God's grace. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are told that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and all things are made new. This is thanks to His love and grace, which has saved us and given us a renewed identity in Him. May we always remember who we are in Christ and live according to that new identity. May we be bearers of the love and hope that we have received, sharing with others the message of salvation and the good news of the gospel. Thank you for reminding us of the wonderful work God has done in us and in our lives! May the Lord bless you abundantly and use you as a living testimony to His glory.

Dear Lourdes, thank you for your beautiful comment. It is wonderful to recognize the greatness of the mercy of our Father God. His love and compassion are immeasurable. It is a sincere and beautiful desire to desire to have a heart similar to that of God, full of forgiveness and mercy. In Ephesians 4:32 we are encouraged to be kind and compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God forgave us in Christ. By keeping in mind the forgiveness and mercy we have received from God, we can extend that same love and grace to others. It is an ongoing process and we depend on His daily help to live according to His character. May the Lord strengthen you and guide you in this purpose of having a forgiving heart full of mercy. May His love always inspire you to forgive wholeheartedly, just as He has forgiven us. Let us thank God for His unconditional love and His mercy that is renewed every day. May His grace accompany you every step and may you experience the joy of forgiving and being forgiven. May God's love and mercy fill your life and enable you to forgive others! May the Lord bless you abundantly.

Dear Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano, thank you for your comment full of truth and hope. The infinite love and mercy of the Lord, manifested in His promise of forgiveness of all our sins, is truly amazing. The words you share from Isaiah 1:18 and 44:22 remind us of the extent of God's forgiveness. Although our sins are like scarlet or crimson, He makes them white as snow and redeems us from our faults. It is an undeserved gift that we receive by faith in Christ Jesus, who makes us new creatures. In Galatians 3:26 we are told that we are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. This means that we can approach Him with confidence, knowing that we are accepted and loved as His children. And in 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are encouraged to live in the reality of being new creatures in Christ, leaving behind the old things and embracing the new. In Philippians 2:15, we are urged to live blamelessly and simply, as blameless children of God in the midst of an evil generation. We are called to shine as luminaries in the world, reflecting the light of Christ and showing His love and truth to others. May we always remember the greatness of God's forgiveness and live in the freedom we have in Christ. May His grace enable us to be living witnesses of His love and mercy in the midst of a world that needs hope. Thank you for sharing these beautiful biblical truths. May the Lord bless you and strengthen you in your walk with Him.
