Are you called…one of the chosen…

Are you called…one of the chosen…


And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His (God’s) purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom He foreordained, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them he also glorified...Romans 8:28-30. even as He (God) chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love: having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of His will...Ephesians 1:4-5. And if ye call on Him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear: knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain (empty) manner of life handed down from your fathers; but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ: who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake, who through Him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave Him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God...1 Peter 1:17-21.


Do you have a plan and purpose in Christ…

Are you feeling alone and isolated or are you feeling connected to Jesus because you have an obedient faith? Jesus is calling you to His side to learn of Him and to follow and practice the truth He reveals. Do you want a perfect Father named Jesus whom you can call on…then repent and be baptized listen to what is written… And Peter said unto them, Repent you, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto Him...Acts 2:38-39.


If you are called by God then you must enter the same way the first Christians entered the kingdom of God by repented or forsaking all evil and being baptized for the remission of your sins. The word remission is like when cancer goes into remission. Sin although present does not harm you and Jesus your eternal savior teaches and coaches you through life leading you with the truth as you learn and grow to His likeness. Have you repented and been baptized…yes or no? If you are called of God then this is the way you must enter the kingdom of God…Jesus said… He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned...Mark 16:16.


Prayer

Father, we renounce anything in the way of our salvation including satan and sin please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our mistakes called sin…grant unto us the grace, mercy, joy, peace, and love needed to sustain our soul’s salvation in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

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

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.
