If you are headed in the wrong direction…then God allows U-turns…called repentance...

From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand...Matthew 4:17. For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death...2 Corinthians 7:10. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (die)...Luke 13:5.


Repentance is a change of heart…feeling sorry for our poor behavior…change in mind…deciding to do better and make better decisions…and a change in direction…fulfilling the change heart and mind with changed deeds. It is a U-turn if you will away from selfish desires and actions to a God oriented direction. Have you ever made a commitment to God I did when I was baptized… And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure (perhaps) God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26. It says God may grant us repentance…we need God to change according to His truth.


Prayer

Father please grant us repentance where needed and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Love of God...what is it...

What is love of God…

And this is love, that we should walk after His (God’s) commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it (love). For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist...2 John 1:6-7. And he (Jesus) said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men...Mark 7:6-8. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God (died and resurrected from the dead) : and every spirit that confess not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already...1 John 4:1-3.

 

It is a Who not a what as to the source of love…

God is the source of Love for He created all things. How do we reciprocate or respond properly to love by keeping His commandments we show our love for God. We tell the truth…we do not steal…we do not commit adultery…we do not want what God has not given us…we do not murder…we respect our dads and moms…we keep ourselves Holy so we can approach God and worship Him in Spirit and Truth…we do not worship the created…we do not use God’s name except in prayer and teaching…and we have no other God but our Creator and His only Fathered Son Jesus…this is how we show love for God by keeping His commandments. For it is written… In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made...John 1:1-3. Jesus is the Creator of all things made and became a man born of a virgin named Mary. Jesus never violated or broke one of the Ten Commandments and remained sinless His whole life…then offered His life as a ransom or sacrifice for all those who have broken any or all the Ten Commandments. So that if you obey Jesus teaching you can be forgiven…of any sin.

 

Jesus said…He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned...Mark 16:16.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us for not loving You with all our heart, mind, soul, spirit, and strength and meet our soul’s deepest needs for obedience to Your commandments by imparting the ability to keep them as a light unto our feet so we can walk in Your commandment as pure gold loving You more than ourselves…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do you want to go to heaven when you die?

Do you want to go to heaven when you die?

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life...Romans 6:1-4. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth...Colossians 3:1-2. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God...Romans 8:10-14.


What is the grace…Gifts…Received…Although…Christians…Err…

We receive the gifts we need although we are learning how to be fit for Heaven and make mistakes. Grace is the forgiveness needed to be made righteous because we have been obedient to Jesus by being baptized and are learning a better way to live our lives. Do you have to practice perfect doctrine to go to heaven? Do you have to have the New Testament memorized to go to heaven…no. However you have to trust in Christ and remain faithful to Him and the truth revealed unto you. Jesus said the truth sets us free and Jesus is the truth…He reveals the truth and then we must learn to practice the truth He reveals to us. Blessed are those whom God does not impute sin to but righteousness. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ....Galatians 3:27. Putting on Christ through baptism is like God seeing Jesus not ourselves when He looks upon us. He sees Jesus sinless life and our willingness to learn to be righteous because we are clothed in the righteousness of Jesus not that of ourselves.


Prayer

Father please reveal the truth to us so we can learn to become righteous as You are righteous please remember we are but children in diapers before You trying to remain faithful…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
