Do you read or study your Holy Bible…yes or no?

We are told to study and make ourselves approved…

Study (give diligence) to shew yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (applying) the word of truth...2 Timothy 2:15.


But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt (able) to teach, patient, In meekness (obedience) instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure (perhaps) will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will...2 Timothy 2:23-26.


All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works...2 Timothy 3:16-17.


How many people can tell someone the good news they obeyed to be saved? Most people will call a teacher or a preacher. Can you tell someone what you did to be saved so they to can be translated out of Satan’s kingdom and into the Christ? We must study in order to grow closer in relationship with God and this also includes doctrine…re-proving people in error of beliefs…correcting others behavior…so they can be informed in the right way.


How do you restore someone who was faithful to Christ…you get to the Word of God back in their minds and hearts for it alone produces faith. You cannot make a rebel change…but you can remind them of the promises and teachings of Jesus…for it is written…So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God...Romans 10:17.


Prayer

Father we pray you will meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sinful past wounds that we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Why do we go to church on Sunday…do you know…yes or no?

Do you worship God regularly…yes or no…

 

When did the first Christians meet and worship God…what was their pattern?

It is written… Now concerning the collection for the saints (they were taking up money for the poor saints in Jerusalem at the time) as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come...1 Corinthians 16:1-2.

 

The congregations in the region of Galatia and the church at Corinth were told to meet on the first day of the week…which is Sunday according to the Roman Calendar. There is a first day of the week every week…this is why churches meet on Sunday the first day of the week not Saturday the seventh day of the week. There is one more example or pattern of Christians meeting and having a worship service or what we commonly call church…

 

It is written… And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight...Acts 20:7.

 

This time they had gathered together to break bread or remember the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week…Sunday and Paul was doing the preaching and teaching.

 

So I go to church or worship on Sunday because the first Christians were in a pattern of meeting on Sunday…the first day of the week and it was an order from an inspired Apostle to meet on the first day of the week. So the next time someone asks you why do you worship on Sunday…say because the first Christians were told to do so in multiple congregations so I do too.

 

Prayer

Father we know we may worship You anytime we are reconciled and in the right Spirit and practicing the Truth…please bless our worship of You as we follow the pattern you set forth to the first Christians…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Does God tempt you to sin…yes or no?


It is written…

Blessed is the man that endures temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no man: but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it hath conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death. Be not deceived, my beloved brethren...James 1:12-16.

 

No. God does not want to lose one of His children. God does no evil and to test someone with evil is a bad thing to do. It is not God tempting you to watch porn…or to lie…or to steal…or whatever…in fact Jesus is interceding that you will not fall away from the faith. We wrestle against our own desires we do not need any help.  Are you one that draws people away from God…or are you like Jesus trying to get people to be like God by behaving properly?

 

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with him freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us...Romans 8:31-34.

 

God is for us not to sin…God is for us to love not hate…to be better not bitter…to do our best not our worse…to forgive and not get even. He is interceding we not sin a sin even though circumstances through life and our flesh may cause us to sin we have a promise Jesus will not allow our circumstances to be greater than our flesh.

 

There hath no temptation taken you but such as (any) man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry...1 Corinthians 10:13-14.

 

When we are tempted by the evil one then Jesus has made us a way out. Do you look for His way out?

 

Prayer

Father thank you for not tempting us to be drawn away from You and thank you for Jesus’s promise He will make a way out…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our own stupid mistakes…and help us find Your way out…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
