Because of Jesus,

Seven good reasons to praise Jesus...

Because of Jesus, I am forgiven.
Whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate. His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:25-26

Because of Jesus, I have peace with God.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1

Because of Jesus, I don't have to live with guilt or condemnation.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1

Because of Jesus, I have a great inheritance.
If children, then heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:17

Because of Jesus, I always have someone interceding for me.
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Romans 8:34

Because of Jesus, I have entered life with Him.
If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:10-11

Because of Jesus, I can have more life in this life.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Hi Dennis,

God bless you! It is really a blessing to have Jesus in our lives.

The third reason that you mentioned is my FAVORTITE because I strongly feel that we sometimes feel defeated because we think we don't have God's love. This topic is my SPECIALTY because I often bring up different things that are related to this to my husband and my daugther. My dream is to teach this topic to encourage others become VICTORIOUS, not VICTIMS! Not only that, there are other factors to be MATURE CHRISTIANS!

Dennis, thanks so much for bringing up all of the seven EXCELLENT reasons that we PRAISE JESUS! I can't imagine for not having him in my life.

YOUR SIS,
You know who! HA!
