God made Everything

 Psa 33:4  For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. 

Psa 33:5  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. 

Psa 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 

The first thing we should all believe is that there is a God and that he created the earth and the heavens, including the angels, and all living things.  He made us special; He created humans in his own image. God is spirit and our spirit was united with his until Adam and Eve sinned. Jesus came to restore us back to fellowship with God. We can talk to him and he guides us until that day we are with him forever.  I had a dream last night that I was sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to an uninterested mob.  

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

God made everything by speaking it into existence. He is truth and science depends on him keeping things in order. He is good and loves righteousness and justice.  He loves us through Jesus who took the punishment for our sins and has overcome death for us.

The Greatest Commandment

1Jn 3:21  Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 

1Jn 3:22  and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 

1Jn 3:23  And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 

1Jn 3:24  Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

First, we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ.  Through Jesus our sins are forgiven and we are become children of God. God answers our prayers. What after this is the most important commandment?

Mat 22:36  “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 

Mat 22:37  And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 

Mat 22:38  This is the great and first commandment. 

Mat 22:39  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

Mat 22:40  On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” 

 

Live Wisely

Eph 5:13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 

Eph 5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 

Eph 5:15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

Eph 5:16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

All the craziness we see going on in our nation has occurred in many nations before ours as a way to gain power under socialism and communism. As we are to vote, do not vote against the foundations of our country which are freedoms we all have. We are a Republic. Under socialism our freedoms will disappear and we will be like Venezuela. Many people are asleep and do not see what is going on. The enemy is spiritual, and evil. 

God gave us light and that light was in his son, Jesus. This is where we find truth.

John 14:6  Jesus answered, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. 

Through Jesus we have the Holy Spirit and he helps us to live wisely and not as fools.  Give your life to God and do good. He will guide you and show you the best purpose for your life. Do not let life make you bitter, Jesus loves you and has made the way for you to have a good life. There is more for you in Jesus and the word of truth, the Bible. I pray that you will see with God's eyes and do good. He has a purpose and his family for you, so be wise, choose wisely and make good use of your time.

Son of God and son of man

 

Mark 12:35  Jesus was teaching in the Temple area. He asked, "Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 

Mar 12:36  With the help of the Holy Spirit, David himself says, 'The Lord God said to my Lord: Sit by me at my right side, and I will put your enemies under your control.' 

Mar 12:37  David himself calls the Messiah 'Lord.' So how can the Messiah be David's son?" Many people listened to Jesus and were very pleased. 

To explain this lets look at how the virgin learned that she was chosen to give birth to the Messiah

Luke 1:30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 

Luk 1:31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 

Luk 1:32  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 

Luk 1:33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 

Luk 1:34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 

Luk 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 

Both Mary and her engaged to be husband, Joseph were of the lineage of King David from the tribe of Judah.  The truth is that Jesus always existed in spirit form with Almighty God who is spirit.  God was the father of Jesus who came as a human through the Virgin Mary.

There were many prophecies of a future Messiah or Christ, meaning the anointed one. There were also prophesies saying that this is the Son of God.  Jesus himself referred to his early existence before his birth. He spoke of being the I AM, the title of God.

John 8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 

Joh 8:57  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 

Joh 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 

God is spirit manifested as the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are one God, in the Hebrew Elohiym. All are the one God who created all there is.

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God (Elohym) created the heaven and the earth.

I am using the Bible to explain the Bible. It is a spiritual book. Let the Holy Spirit teach you;  He is the spirit of truth.

Do Not Love the World

1Jn 2:15  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

1Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 

1Jn 2:17  And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. 

If we love things more than God, then they become idols.  The desires of the worldly  people are focused on things that do not last. The desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes and the pride of life.

Psa 10:3  For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD. 

Psa 10:4  In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” 

We will leave all these things behind. What treasures do we have in heaven? What are things that will last forever?

Joy Comes In The Morning

 

Psalm 30:2  O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 

Psa 30:3  O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 

Psa 30:4  Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 

Psa 30:5  For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 

It is the LORD who heals us.  This China virus will disappear when God stops it.  Many have been healed and we give thanks to our God. Sing unto him and remember that he is holy. As a nation there is much for our holy God to be angry about. We should be angry too at the evil that goes on. Repent and weep, put away your anger before bed time and he will bring you joy in the morning.

Ephesians 4:26  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 

Eph 4:27  Neither give place to the devil. 

Lamentations 3:21  This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 

Lam 3:22  It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 

Lam 3:23  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 

Start your day thanking God and hearing him for directions. Each morning is new with mercies and joy for us. Sing a happy song.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

In the Light

1Jn 1:5  This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 

1Jn 1:6  If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 

1Jn 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 

1Jn 1:8  If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

First we come out of the darkness into the light of God. Then we confess that he exists and has perfect righteousness.

Heb 11:6  And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

Jesus is God's son who came to make a way for us to be forgiven of our sins and bad life. Our sin misses God's best for us. Blood was required for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus gave his perfect life for our sins. His blood was spilled on the cross at Calvary. Jesus is alive now forever more, He overcame sin and death for us.

Those who walk in the light and truth of God have fellowship together in His light. If we sin as believers in Christ Jesus, we just confess our sins and he forgives us.

First we believe that there is an Almighty God. 

Second, By faith we come to Jesus for forgiveness of sins. By doing this God becomes our father and he sees us as without sin as if we were his Son. 

Third, If we sin after being forgiven, we confess our sins and God forgives us as if we were in his Son. We have fellowship with others who are forgiven of their sins. Those who are forgiven are with God forever.
