LOVE?

 'He Loved us First!

We may have our own ideas or concepts about love and what this emotion is all about, but it may not be real as we think it is?

The world today is full of people loving everything, they say the words in relation to objects and people like water running out of their mouths and yet we know that in reality the words have little or no meaning!

When it comes to helping others, most people will not get involved in a situation, they pass it by hoping to get clear as quick as possible, while others don't want to get involved because of a bad experience?

But God's love is the only real one, since He gave to us His one and only son and Jesus showed compassion to many that He healed and saved like us too and from this is laid a foundation for us to follow!

John 3:3, 16, 14:6, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Ephesians 2:4, 5:2, 1 John 3:4,  4:10-11, 19.

PEACE?

Human ideal and our Constant!

We always hear the world talking about the ideal of peace and yet it seems to be a continued elusive process, yet for us who are born of the Holy Spirit back to God through the blood of Jesus we have peace as our constant companion?

God is kind to us who have come to believe and to strengthen us daily to be able to live in this world we have the peace of Jesus in our hearts, that the world cannot have unless it too repents!

We can offer real this peace of Jesus to others by our words, in sickness, in fear, in trouble, in strife and they can respond to us, if they hear in thanks and maybe to God in confession!

Genesis 26:29,  Job 21:9,  Psalm 4:8,  34:14,  Matthew/Levi 10:13,  Luke 8:48,  John 3:15-18,  14:27,   Acts 10:36,   Romans 3:22-23,   5:1,   Galatians 5:22,   James 3:18.

Conduct?

People always Watching!

We can forget when we are believers that the world is watching us, sometimes they do want to catch us out, but other times they envy secretly in their hearts the freedom that we have!

It is something that is hard to fathom and it is perhaps better to leave that with God! 

But meanwhile our conduct does matter, we can be silly and humorous but it must be clean, our attitude should be different from that of the world?

We should always be honest and do what is good and right and not be involved in past interests or idea of cheating others, but rather be looking out for them! They may not do that for us, but that does not matter, God will in His time deal with them as He too will with us!

Proverbs 14:2,   Ezekiel 23:49,  Romans 13:3,  1 Thessalonians 2:10,  James 3:13,  1 Peter 3:1, 16,   2 Perter 2:7.

Our Heart? One.

Judge not and be not Judged!

Everything in relation to our condition starts with ourselves?

We today are going to look at how others see us, in relation to our conduct and walk with God! They may not see us fully as they think they see themselves and so they may think we are not saved or have come to a fulness in God?

But it is the heart within us that is where God is working, something that cannot be fully seen by others! One has to draw on ones own experience, because I have been judged by others as not being Born-Again?

Romans 10:8-9,   Acts 13:38-39,   Matthew 10:32-33,   2 John 1:7.

Fire People? Two.

Ready to witness Jesus?

Today thousands of believers globally are sharing their faith in Jesus, some because they want to and others because they have too? 

Some will die, some maimed, others rejected or ignored, it is a cost to us personally but in the long run lives near and far to each conversation, each tract sent will be changed!

Never give up doing good, never give up talking about Jesus-God! 

Because many strangers in Heaven will one day than you for your perseverance and kindness to them, if not Jesus love shining through the Fire Peoples!

John 4:14,   10:28,   1 Timothy 4:16,   2 Peter 1:10.

The Chasm? Part-Two/

Many have it in this life?

These many include the many who claim to be Christians, but the reality is that they are imposters!

They are like the greedy evil people of this world who are now enjoying the fruits on the backs of others, but God is not blind and He will not be mocked when all of humanity will have to face the Judgement seat of God!

What many forget is that there is no once saved always saved and it is up to us to work out our own salvation by keeping on the path of truth!

The chasm that is in place between us and God has been filled by Jesus, since He is the only way to salvation! It is he who we must seek and who real followers must press on with daily!

1 Samuel 25:36,  2 Thessalonians 1:4-10,  James 5:1-7,  Revelation 22:11.

SIN. Part-Two.

In and Out.

Food does not effect how we are, except if we make it a problem like gluttony!

What goes into our bodies is not the cause of our failure, it is rather what we say from our hearts that is sinful.

It is of our own choice that we choose to Sin, to fail so we cannot blame another for our own choices?

Matthew 15:10-11,  Mark 7:14-15.

Flee for your Life. Part-One.

Bad Company.

There is always so called friends and mates out there wanting you to be a part of something they want to do or are doing.

But each one of us are our own selves and we don't have to join with others in what they want to do.

God says 'that we should flee Sin, evil and wickedness for our lives.'

Proverbs 6:4-5,  1 Timothy 5:22,  Revelation 18:4.

Valentine. Part-Two.

Saint Valentine.

All twenty men with this same name are remembered for their works and good deeds. 

Doing good is a good thing to do especially for others, but this does not get us points for heaven.

God wants all peoples to call on Him for their Salvation and not think they can do it another way.

Psalm 51:10,  Romans 7:18,  2 Corinthians 13:7.
