Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.” John 3:6-7 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Something was missing”   Nicodemus was intrigued and confused. He was a trained religious professional, a Pharisee who has spent his life studying the Old Testament Scriptures and he knew his stuff. Or so he thought. Then along came Jesus and Nicodemus realized there was an important element in his relationship with God that he had somehow missed. He knew that somehow, in some way, Jesus was the answer.   So, Nicodemus came to Jesus secretly, at night so nobody would see him, and he asked Jesus to help him discover what was missing in his relationship with God. John 3:7 was the answer, “You must be born again.” (I can relate to Nicodemus. That’s how I came to faith in Christ. I had a good life but deep down in my heart I knew something was missing. There was still a hole in my heart that needed to be filled and which could only be filled by God. So, I came to Jesus and He filled that hole in my heart.)   All of us are born once, physically. But to be alive spiritually we must be born again. At the time He created us God breathed a living spirit into us and gave us the breath of life (Genesis 2:7; Job 33:4). But in the spiritual sense that Jesus was speaking about in John 3:6-7, that spirit is not alive in a relationship with God. Paul taught about that in Ephesians 2:1 when he told us that before salvation “…you were dead in your trespasses and sins …”   Without Jesus, the spirit within you is a dead thing that could never be allowed into heaven. It is contaminated with sin and it is dead to God. Thus – the new birth Jesus spoke of is needed. The dead spirit must be born again with a new life. Jesus then went on in John 3:16-18 to explain that the new birth occurs in a moment of time when a decision is made to place your faith in Him for the forgiveness of your sins. The Apostle Paul expanded on this teaching about the new birth when he wrote in Romans 10:9, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Also, in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come.”   Perhaps right now, as you are reading this, you like Nicodemus and like me have come to the point where you realize something is missing. Despite the life you have and all the good things it is filled with something is still not right, something is missing. Could it be that you need to be born again? It is the new life in Christ that will fill the hole in your heart with the love of God.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift – not from works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “No extra charge”   Sometimes when someone thanks me for doing something for them I will jokingly respond, “You’re welcome. No extra charge.” When I say that I’m being a wise guy, of course, but the point is that I am happy to serve them in that way and to do it for free.   Salvation is like that too. It’s a gift from God, it is free, and He is happy to give it to you. But you do have to accept it as the gift that it is.   Martin Luther was a Catholic priest and monk in the 1500s in Germany. He was terrified by the thought of a God who is holy and righteous and who requires holiness and righteousness from us, but who at the same time is impossible to please (or so Luther thought). Trying to satisfy that God, Luther prayed eight times a day. He sometimes spent six hours or more confessing his sins to another priest. He fasted multiple times each week. He often slept without blankets – even in the winter, because he considered himself too sinful to deserve the pleasure of blankets. He once ascended a staircase on his knees, pausing at each step to pray a prayer of confession and to beg God’s forgiveness. And yet, Luther was miserable. No matter how much he repented he still felt guilty and unforgiven.   Finally, one day in Bible study and prayer Luther had an epiphany. The Holy Spirit helped him to understand two critical Biblical truths. The first was in Romans 1:17 that the righteous shall live by faith. The second was Ephesians 2:8-9 (above), which teaches that our salvation is a result of the grace of God by means of faith in His Son for the forgiveness of our sins, and not from any works that we perform. It is a gift, it is free, and it can only be received by faith (it cannot be earned, not even by extreme acts of penance).   That was the most revealing and liberating truth Luther had ever experienced – and it changed everything for him. In that moment he realized that he did not need to earn his salvation. In fact, he couldn’t earn it – he had already learned that sad truth through his many years of extreme and fruitless acts of penance.   The truth is that you cannot earn your salvation, you cannot purchase it, and you will never be good enough to deserve it. It is a gift from God, simply as a matter of His amazing grace, and it comes only through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.   Please stop trying to pay God for your salvation. It has already been paid for – and there is no extra charge.   God bless, Pastor Jim     (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “There is no one righteous, not even one. There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away; all alike are worthless. There is no one who does what is good, not even one.” Romans 3:10-12 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “As sinful as ever”   Before we go any further in this series, I want to be sure we are all clear on just how bad sin is and how much it continues to impact our world today. In Romans 3:10-12 The Apostle Paul made it clear that there isn’t a single individual on earth who can stand righteous before God apart from Christ. That was true then and it continues to be true today. Paul went on in verses 13-18 to say, “Their throat is an open grave; they deceive with their tongues. Vipers’ venom is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and wretchedness are in their paths, and the path of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.”   Things are no better today than when Paul wrote those words. In fact, they are probably worse. In his book, “The Doctrine of Salvation” Dr. Darrell Robinson cites s study conducted by the Norwegian Academy of Sciences in cooperation with historians from Egypt, England, Germany, and India. The study was intended to determine if perhaps the character of the human race has improved as civilization has advanced. They discovered that it really hasn’t. They wrote,   “Since 3600 B.C. the world has known only 292 years of peace. There have been 14,531 wars, large and small, in which 3,640,000,000 people have been killed.” That’s 3.6 billion killed just in wars. And that’s just deaths in wars. That statistic makes no mention of all the pain and suffering inflicted by murder, rape, domestic violence, burglary, fraud, sex trafficking, child abuse, or any of a host of other crimes that continue to plague mankind daily.   As much as the world has advanced in terms of science, technology, and standard-of-living, people are as evil and as lost in their sins today as they have ever been, and everyone still needs Jesus.   Tomorrow we will consider the one and only thing that any person can do to receive the gift of salvation and to begin a process of spiritual transformation.   God bless, Pastor Jim     (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “This is how it happened”   This month we are spending our devotional time to review the basic truths about the most important Biblical doctrine there is – salvation. We need to know this. We need to have embraced it, internalized it, and know it so well that we can quickly, easily, and clearly explain it to others when the Holy Spirit gives us the opportunity to do so.   With respect to understanding salvation, 2 Corinthians 5:21 is one of the most illuminating verses in the Bible. More than twenty-five years ago, I was at a Bible conference in Los Angeles when I heard Pastor John MacArthur explain this verse in a sermon. It was the best and clearest teaching on salvation that I have ever heard and so I will simply paraphrase it here for us this morning:   On the cross God treated Jesus as if He had committed every sin by every person who would ever be saved, when in fact He committed none of them. This is the doctrine of substitution – the innocent dies for the guilty. “He made him who did not know sin to be sin for us …” On the cross God poured out upon Jesus all the wrath and punishment for all the sins that have ever been committed. All those sins had to be punished and now they were – Jesus was punished for them. In short, God punished Jesus as if He had lived your sinful life and mine.   Then God treats us as if we had lived Jesus’ perfect life. This is why Jesus had to live thirty-three years on earth. During those years He was fully human and he was subjected to ever temptation that you and I are subjected to, but He never sinned. He lived the holy, pure, and perfect life that you and I are not capable of living and He did it so that “… we might become the righteousness of God.”   That’s the doctrine of substitution. Both sides of it. One the one side Jesus gets all your sin. On the other side you get all His righteousness. The sins had to be paid for and they were – Jesus paid the price so you and I would not have to.   In life we often see shades of this kind of sacrifice – the solider who jumps on the live grenade, giving his life so his comrades can live; the hero who jumps into a raging river to save a child being washed away but who then loses his own life in the process; the husband who takes a bullet to save his wife and children. On the cross Jesus took the bullet for us so that we can live for eternity in heaven with the Father.   So, the penalty for your sins has been paid. Jesus took it for you. His sacrifice is a great gift. But like all gifts, you must choose to accept it. The gift is not forced upon you. You must make a conscious decision to open your heart and accept the gift of salvation. There is nothing you can do to earn it and you can’t pay Him for it. It is a gift and you must simply accept it. I pray you will accept the gift of salvation today.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Why was salvation even needed?”   So, why did we need to be saved anyway? Why couldn’t God simply bring us to heaven in the condition we were in? The answer is found in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We have all sinned. Many times. All of us. None of us is without sin and our sin causes us to fall short of God’s glorious standard.   God is pure and perfect and holy. Heaven is also pure and perfect and holy, and if God ever allowed an impure, imperfect, or unholy thing to enter heaven, heaven would no longer be pure and perfect and holy because it would contain something that isn’t. Since you and I have sinned, repeatedly, that makes us impure, imperfect, and unholy – and therefore unfit for heaven.   However, God loves each of us so much, and He wants us to be in heaven with Him so badly despite the sins we have committed, that He was determined to make a way for it to happen. In Matthew 18:14 Jesus said, “In the same way, it is not the will of the Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” Likewise, in 1 Timothy 2:3-4 the Apostle Paul wrote, “This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”   Those are just two of the many verses which show us the heart of the Father with respect to salvation. We have all sinned and thereby separated ourselves from Him. But it is His desire that none should be lost. Instead, He wants everyone to understand how it is that their sin has separated them from Him, and how those sins can be forgiven and wiped away. (Please note that this does not mean everyone will be saved. Many will not be. But it does mean that God decreed that there would be an answer to the sin problem and He then created a pathway to heaven for whoever would choose that path.)   Sin is our problem. It separates us from our heavenly Father. Jesus is our answer to the sin problem. Tomorrow we will see how it is that Jesus solved the sin problem for us and opened the way for each of us to have our sins forgiven so that we can one day join the Father in His pure, perfect, and holy heaven.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 (NIV)   Our thought for today: “Jesus sets you free; your habits keep you free”   There was a notorious prison in 17th century Italy that was a genuine horror for anyone sentenced to it. No prisoner ever escaped from that prison and none was ever released. The prison was for those with life sentences. If you were sent there, you would die there. The prisoners were brought into the prison by boat through an opening in the dark, massive stone wall. Above the opening in the wall, carved into the stone were the words “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!”   Imagine a prisoner chained to the wall in a small cell in the belly of that miserable place. Suddenly the door to the cell opens, the warden walks in and says, “Congratulations! You have been forgiven and you are being released.”  Imagine the sense of relief that washes over the condemned man as he is being escorted out of that prison. Imagine the new lease on life, the hope, the eager anticipation. And then imagine him going right back to his life of crime that put him in that place to begin with.   Say what??!! He’s going back to the very life that put him in that miserable prison to begin with? Why would he do that? He then lives the rest of his life still suffering all the consequences of a debauched, crime-ridden, sin-filled life. And now consider this: Is he really free or is he still a prisoner living in bondage?   As a Christian you have been set free by Jesus from an eternity in hell – but that’s not all He set you free from. He also set you free from a life of sin and the bad consequences a life of sin produces. That’s the full meaning of John 8:36. He has set you free from the eternal penalty for your sin, but He has also set you free from a life of sin now.   Sadly however, many professing Christians have, just like that prisoner, gone right back to the life they have been freed from. Many Christians have had their sins forgiven, but they are still living in bondage to Satan. It is possible to have been set free from the eternal penalty of sin but to still be living in bondage to sin and to spend the rest of your life suffering the consequences of sin.   An encounter with Jesus will set you free but your it’s your habits with Jesus that will keep you free. Since you have been set free from the eternal consequences of your sins, you should now live like you are free from the bondage of sin.   Again, Jesus sets you free but your habits keep you free.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “Like newborn infants, desire the pure milk of the word, so that you may grow up into your salvation.” 1 Peter 2:2 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “It’s more than just having your sins forgiven”   Usually when Christians think of salvation we think of a one-time event when a person prays and asks Jesus to forgive their sins. In that moment their sins are forgiven and the person has the assurance of going to heaven instead of hell.   Although that one-time event is part of the plan of salvation, it is just a part of it. The Biblical doctrine of salvation involves more than that. Salvation is a one-time event, that’s true, but it’s also an ongoing reality and a future promise. Salvation provides for the forgiveness of our sins; and it provides us an ongoing sense of security in this lifetime; and it offers us the promise of eternity in heaven.   There are several paradoxes associated with the truth of salvation. A paradox is a situation where two seemingly contradictory things are both true at the same time. Salvation is both free and costly; also, it is a gift and yet it requires something of us; and it is permanent and therefore cannot be lost, but it must also be safeguarded and treated as the precious thing it is. The full doctrine of salvation is complex and involves actions by the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and by us. We will think about all these aspects of salvation this month.   In 1 Peter 2:2 Peter urges us to “grow up into our salvation.” This clues us into the fact that salvation is something that has already occurred if you have placed your faith in Christ (that one-time event), and yet, according to Peter, there is more to it (not something more required to be saved but something more to do because you have been saved).   In that verse Peter refers to a newborn infant. For a newborn infant who has already experienced birth there is now a growing and maturing process that must take place so the life that comes after birth can be fully realized. So too, just as the birth experience is only the beginning for the newborn infant, the moment of having your sins forgiven is just the beginning for the new Christian. Salvation is a one-time event, but it is also an ongoing reality that should bring with it growth and maturity – just like for that infant. And then, salvation carries on into eternity.   Salvation is so much more than just having your sins forgiven. It is the start of a new and wonderful life with Jesus that continues for all the days of your life and then on into eternity.   God bless, Pastor Jim     (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” Philippians 2:12-13 (NIV)   Our thought for today: “Similar but different”   Salvation and sanctification are both theological terms which are similar but different. Therefore, Christians are sometimes confused about the difference between them because they both have past, present, and future features.   Salvation is a one-time event that happens in a moment in time when a person places his or her faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. In that moment the person is saved. That is salvation in the past tense. However, salvation is also an ongoing reality in that once you are saved you remain saved. You cannot lose your salvation. In the world of theology this is referred to as “the security of the believer.” That is salvation in the present tense. Once saved, always saved. And then, salvation guarantees us eternity in heaven. That is the future of salvation.   Sanctification means that something or someone has been set-aside for holy purposes. The person or thing has been sanctified to and for God. That was true of the implements used for worship in the Temple in the Old Testament, and it is true of all who place their faith in Christ. In that moment you are set aside as holy for God. That is the past tense of sanctification in the life of the believer. You have been sanctified.   But sanctification is also an ongoing process as the Holy Spirit works in the life of the believer to transform him or her into the likeness of Jesus. This is sanctification in the present tense and it is an ongoing lifelong process. Not only have you been sanctified but you are also in the process of being sanctified, you are changing and transforming more and more into the image of Jesus. And then in heaven you will be fully sanctified, you will be the person God has always intended for you to be and who you will be for all eternity.   Salvation and sanctification are similar but different. The distinction between the two is important but sometimes confusing. Your salvation was a one-time past event that is also a present reality and a future hope. And the time of salvation, you were sanctified (set-aside for God). You now continue in the process of being sanctified as the Holy Spirit slowly transforms you more and more into the image of Jesus, and one day in heaven you will be fully sanctified.   You are a saved, redeemed, work in progress! You are not yet who you will be but you can thank God you are no longer who you used to be!   God bless, Pastor Jim     (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Salvation: past, present, and future”   Our Bible verse for today: “In him you also were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed.” Ephesians 1:13 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Don’t doubt it”   We humans can be fickle, double-minded, doubtful, and easily sidetracked. We often forget things we once knew, doubt things we once believed to be true, and become untethered from the secure anchor of our faith. That can even be true of something so important and so foundational as salvation. Am I saved? Was I ever really saved? Am I still saved? Those are questions and doubts wrestled with by many Christians.   I can’t count the number of times over my decades of ministry that a professing Christian suddenly began to wonder if his or her profession of faith had been real and therefore whether or not he or she was ever really saved. Or, if perhaps they have lost their salvation because of some new (and what they consider to be grievous) sin.   I find it interesting that in Ephesians 1:13 the Apostle Paul thought it necessary to remind the Ephesians Christians about their salvation. He was writing to professing Christians – a whole church full of them (perhaps even an entire faith community spread over an entire region and encompassing multiple churches). He just threw this blanket statement out there reminding all of us about the reality of our salvation if we have placed our faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.   The fact is that we need to be reminded frequently about the basic truths of the Christian faith. We need to circle back often to the basic foundational truths of our faith and relearn them from time-to-time, because we tend to forget them or we begin to doubt them. That’s why God repeats those truths in so many different places in the Bible. It’s also why we preachers and teachers of God’s Word have to keep reteaching things we know our people have already been taught and which they do already know. That’s especially true regarding the basics of salvation. We need to keep relearning these truths so we don’t forget; so we will not doubt; and so we will be able to explain it to others.   Therefore, for the month of February we will prayerfully and devotionally relearn what we already know to be true – that we have been saved, we are saved, and we will continue to be saved. It is salvation past, present, and future.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “There is profit in all hard work, but endless talk leads only to poverty.” Proverbs 14:23 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “What are you going to do about it?”   So, we have just spent more than a month-and-a-half thinking about, talking about, and praying about New Years resolutions. We have asked the Holy Spirit to show us areas of our lives that we need to change or improve upon. By now each of us should have a short, tight list of Holy Spirit inspired resolutions to guide us on our path of improvement. We should also have goals to serve as markers along the way and a plan to carry it out.   So, the question now is, “What are you going to do about it?” Talk is cheap. Good intentions are nothing more than good intentions – they don’t add up to anything if you don’t actually do something about it. As Solomon wrote in Proverbs 14:23, endless talk accomplishes nothing.   I have told you before about one of my favorite self-help books, “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews. It’s a fictional story but it is also based upon solid truth about human nature and about achieving success in life. It leads the reader to make seven key decisions that will change the course of your life. The third of those seven decisions pertains to being a person of action – someone who acts instead of just talks. My personal rendering of that third decision reads like this, “I am a man of action. I will take the action necessary to make my life better.”   And since I do want that to be true of me, this will be the last daily devotional in this series, and the last for this month, because one of my resolutions for 2025 is to take four short personal retreats – one each in the winter, spring, summer, and fall. My purpose is to get alone with God and my journal so I can better assess what God has been doing in my life over the past year, what I have learned from that and how it has changed me, where I’m at now, and what God may have planned for the immediate and long-term future for me. I will also consider what changes or adjustments I should be in the process of making.   My retreat in the winter will be this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I will be going up to the Smoky Mountains for some cold-weather hiking and lots of quiet time alone with the Lord. This is how I will fulfill this portion of that resolution. Therefore, the next devotional you will receive from me will be on Monday February 3rd. At that time, we will begin a new study on a new theme.   In the meantime, with respect to your own resolutions, I encourage you to be a person of action. Challenge yourself with the question, “What am I going to do about it?”   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville
