Peaceful Acoustic Worship! 4 Hours of the BEST HYMNS of all time played on Guitar

Blessed Assurance and 80 other popular hymns played by Christian fingerstyle guitarist Josh Snodgrass. Let the peace of God renew your spirit as you listen to this worship playlist. This music is ideal for rest, relaxation, Bible study, prayer time and meditation on God's Word. My goal for this music is that it would bring some peace into this chaotic world and remind you of the faithfulness of God. These songs are rich in meaning and I hope they are an encouragement to you! If you are new to my channel, my name is Josh Snodgrass and I'm the guy playing the guitar. I present this music as a form of worship with the hope that you will be encouraged to go deeper in your walk with God. Jesus Christ is the Messiah who came to offer the world the hope of forgiveness for our sins and new life in him. He's the Son of God and he came to earth and took on human flesh, living as one of us. He didn't sin at all, and He is completely perfect. Because of His perfection, He was worthy to give His life on the cross as a sacrifice for the rest of us who have fallen short. He rose again in victory over sin and death and came back to life on the 3rd day. When we repent from our sins and turn to follow Jesus as Lord and Savior in faith, we will be completely forgiven by God for all of our sins. He offers us a complete pardon, trading his record for ours. He takes our sin and offers us His righteousness. Place your faith in Jesus and follow Him as He directs you through the Bible and the Holy Spirit. If you would like to learn to play my music on guitar, get a CD or mp3 download or book me to do a concert at your church, please visit my website: https://www.joshsnodgrass.com

When Jesus is your ONLY HOPE

When Jesus is your ONLY HOPE

Things been sooooo crazy lately with moving /shifting things around preparing for

another chapter of my life and wasn’t able to do my lil readings.
So here I am catching up and sharing with you some of my lil daily readings

and hope it will bless you too. You see, this has become my “Soul refreshment” ..

I have developed or still learning more of this habit that instead
of WORRYING OR ANXIOUS or COMPLAINING about many things,
I just choose to sit and read #Bibleverses like these cuz it amazingly lifts me up

and helps me get back up again.
Who says the bible is boring? (well, I used to. But I WAS WRONG!) Can sit and read with me? No matter what’s going on in my life right now I can honestly say “Surely, the battle is the Lords!
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME! Upps almost forgot my coffee.

The Right Definition of Righteousness 8October 2022









 What has a right understanding of your righteousness got to do with expecting good to happen to you today? Everything!


Many believers associate righteousness with a list of things that they have to do, and if they fulfill this list, they feel "righteous." Conversely, when they fail in terms of their behavior, they feel "unrighteous." But this is the wrong definition and understanding of righteousness.


Let's go back to what the Bible has to say. Look at 2 Corinthians 5:21: "For He [God] made Him [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him [Jesus Christ]." We are not righteous because we do right. We became righteous because of what Jesus did for us at the cross. "Righteousness," therefore, is not based on our right doing. It is based entirely on Jesus' right doing. Christianity is not about doing right to become righteous. It is all about believing right in Jesus to become righteous.


Do you realize that we have been conditioned to associate being blessed with doing right? Most belief systems are based on a system of merit whereby you need to fulfill certain requirements—give to the poor, do good to others and care for the underprivileged—to attain a certain state of righteousness. It all sounds very noble, self-sacrificial and appealing to our flesh, which likes to feel that our good works have earned us our righteousness.


But God is not looking at your nobility, sacrifices or good works to justify you. He is only interested in Jesus' humility at the cross. He looks at His Son's perfect sacrifice at Calvary to justify you and make you righteous! Attempting to be justified by your good works and trying your best to keep the Ten Commandments to become righteous is to negate the cross of Jesus Christ. It is as good as saying, "The cross is not enough to justify me. I need to depend on my good works to make myself clean and righteous before God."


The apostle Paul said, "I do not frustrate the grace [unmerited favor] of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." My friend, consider carefully what Paul is saying here. He is effectively saying that if you are depending on your good works, your doing and your ability to keep perfectly the Ten Commandments to become righteous, then Jesus died for nothing! That's what "in vain" means—for nothing! So don't frustrate the grace of God by depending on your good works to make yourself righteous and put God on your side. Jesus' sacrifice is more than enough to justify you! And when you know that you are justified, you can be confident that the unmerited favor of God is on your side and expect good to happen to you today!

When Jesus said “IT IS FINISHED!”




When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, 

He said, “IT IS FINISHED!: and He bowed His head and gave up the ghost. 


John 19:30



19:30. It is finished: His passive (Lat. patior, "suffering") ministry is now completed. 


17:4. I have finished (teleiosas) means "I have made perfect or completed." This verb is in

the active voice, indicating Christ had finished His active ministry (cf. 4:34). He now assumes a He prince passive role. In 19:30 ("It is finished") 

the passive voice suggests that He has by then finished His passive ministry as well.


The words of Jesus on the cross are significant: 

The first words concern the Roman soldiers who were crucifying Him: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). The second statement is made to the penitent thief: "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). The third statement comes while looking at His grief-stricken mother."Woman, behold thy son!" To John He says, "Behold thy mother!" (vv. 26, 27). The fourth cry is addressed to God at the ninth hour and comes from Psalm 22: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:34). The fifth statement is "I thirst" (v. 28), followed by His taking of vinegar from a sponge. The sixth cry is 'It is finished" (v. 30). (See comments on 17:4.) The seventh cry was addressed to His Father: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit"

(Luke 23:46).


The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, ( for that sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. John 19:31


*19:31. The preparation was Friday, the day before the sabbath (cf. vv. 14, 42). (See especially Mark 15:42.) It was a high day because it was the Sabbath during the Passover week. The Jews did not mind putting an innocent man to death, even the Son of God, but they were very careful not to break the Sabbath,
