God promises redemption for mankind in Genesis 3:15: “He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel”, meaning that Jesus will eventually crush Satan, but Jesus will suffer in the process.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom. 12:2)

“We MUST worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. Psalms 103:12

He lost the battle but won the victory! A.W. Tozer said, “The Lord cannot fully bless a man until He has first conquered him.” God conquered Jacob by weakening him. the only way to victory was through surrender.

Addition by subtraction = He lost the battle but won the victory! A.W. Tozer said, “The Lord cannot fully bless a man until He has first conquered him.” God conquered Jacob by weakening him. the only way to victory was through surrender.

Jacob was left alone, and when we’re alone and at the end of our resources, then God can come to us and do something in us and for us.

The lives of Jacob and Esau teaches us the importance of valuing our God-given blessings and not squandering them for short-term gratification. We should strive to live lives that are pleasing to God, and make sure that nothing is more important than Jesus in our lives.

The blessings of God do not necessarily remove us from the difficulties of life. In fact, at times, the blessings of God can actually call us into places of hardship or struggle. Yet while God’s blessings over us do not take us away from difficulty, they declare the presence of God in the midst of the difficulty. God’s blessing testifies that something deeper is always at play in our lives. As Jacob discovered in Bethel, we are called to discover that “the Lord is in this place” (Genesis 30:17).

“Is anything too hard for the LORD?” NO! Matt. 19:26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Lot had said, “I will take.” God said to Abraham, “I will give.” What a difference! “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you” (John 15:16)

Salvation comes because by God’s grace He calls and sinners respond by faith. Abraham did not know the true God, and had done nothing to deserve knowing Him, but God graciously called him. “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you” (John 15:16).

“Obedience and humility will ALWAYS triumph over disobedience and arrogance!” Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22

Noah walked with God.

Let's not just go through this whole walk of Christianity just for show; don't think God's going to just give us a free ticket into heaven just because we showed up and we joined the church or we gave a few bucks.

God ALWAYS shows up! Genesis 3:8 - 15 (NASB) 8 They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

“God said it. I believe it. And that settles it!”

Jesus always was, Jesus always is and Jesus always will be.
