Sorry we missed your original request for help, I second everything Adam has said, I would like to add God is not restricted by time, he see the ending and the beginning like a picture in front of him, we can't surprise God and the good thing about that is we can't disappoint him. He sent his son while we were yet in our sins,
God deal with us as sons, We may not know what God is doing behind the scenes but we Know God is Love and rich in mercy and he always deal with us in his attributes. I pray that it's someone here that can offer comfort and counsel.
I will be praying for you , I pray the Lord will grant you mercy and understanding
Salvation requires more than just believing. There is a misconception that many Christians have - that all they have to do is proclaim that they are a sinner, ask for forgiveness and call on Jesus to save them. Jesus Himself said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Later in Matthew, Jesus follows that up with, "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Let's analyze the first quote, first. Do is an action word and certainly not passive. It requires us "to do" something. But what? The will of My Father. What then, is the will of God? The will of God is not an abstract idea that is so complex we can't know what to do. Rather, the will of God is made known to us by His Spirit, the Holy Ghost, and relayed to us via Jesus through the Bible. So what does Jesus say we must do to obtain salvation? Jesus is asked what must one do to obtain eternal life. He first responses with several commandments. The guy says, "I do those things." Then Jesus replies, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." Sell what thou hast requires great faith that the Lord will provide. Give to the poor is charity, which scores mega-points in getting to heaven. There are several references to charity including: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity; charity covers a multitude of sins, and
though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Giving with a pure heart (doing charity is the will of God) is an action item and is a major key to eternal life. This is a major stumbling block to many complacent Christians. Remember: faith (that God provides for us, charity (is love) and hope (Jesus comes soon).
In the morning O GOD, Thou shalt hear the beat of my heart to the rhythm of Thy Holy Name. Such is my portion at dawn; grace and mercy in abundance according to your own Sovereign pleasure.
Thank you lord for your love you showed in the cross of calvary for my justificatio, thank you my father and my God for your mercy that counted in righteousness!
I sometimes visual Water as a physical comparison to The Holy Trinity. Three forms of one substance! A liquid, a solid or a gas..
Water as a liquid, GOD The Father. Ice, the Solid as Jesus when he was Birthed, Died and Resurrected in Human form! The Holy Spirit as a Gaseous form; clouds, fog, steam etc, but always Present!!
When Ice melts it becomes Water again! When steam, fog etc condenses it also become Water again! So even though Water can exist in three forms it is still One Substance, WATER.. Just as GOD can exist in three forms; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit!!! And just as Water is to Life(we can not live without Water) we are to GOD! We can Not have Eternal Life without GOD! Please remember, I only draw this comparison as a physical reference. Not saying we or anyone should worship or Idolize Water as a Replacement for The True Living Eternal GOD....
May GOD bless each and everyone of you who believe in and Trust in the Holy Trinity.
Im new to the online bible study, but reading the bible and knowing our Father i believe he is always there. We all fall, he picks us back up its rough at times but through Jesus we are forgiven
I am deeply grateful for this website in which I can read and listen to God's word. I often use it to learn the passage for Bible class in school the next day.
I am truly grateful to be able to listen to the Word as I follow due to my current blurred vision. I thank God for its availability, and thank your organization for making this feature free to listeners.
I pray and believe that the Lord will continually bless you for your commitment and service, and provide the resources necessary to sustain the service.
