Weekly Scripture 6-21-2026

Answer:

This comes from 2 Corinthians

__:__For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

*What an amazing blessing this is when you think about it. Jesus came down here from Heaven to extend grace to us, and we all need that grace. He left a place where there is no suffering, pain and sorrow just so He could provide us a free gift of salvation. When we turn to Jesus we receive eternal life and become rich in Christ! Jesus prepares a place just for us in Heaven, so we can be with Him forever when we leave this earth! A good brother of mine that recently lost his dad (who was a Christian) told me that he misses his dad, but would not want him to have to come back here for anything in the world. He knows that his dad is in Heaven and has no more pain of which his dad was suffering with before he passed. That is the right attitude we as Christians should have all of the time.

Answer: Ruth 1:16

This comes from Ruth

___:___And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

*When a person makes a decision for Christ as their Lord and Savior, it follows that they will identify themselves with God's people. A clear indicator that Ruth believed what she had learned about God is found in the above verse: “thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God”. Ruth believed God and it was accredited to her, and her belief in God also lead to action. She forsook the land and the idolatry that she came from to live in a foreign land and God included her in the lineage of Jesus! God took that little girl from Moab and used her for His good and perfect will; and He will do the same for you if you trust and obey.
