To Irene123: How quick you are to judge and condemn. I hope you are not speaking from the abundance of your heart. I raised one daughter and two sons as Christians, and I would not dare to be a stumbling block to anyone: not even you. I really wanted to see what Anne might have to say. Perhaps, her mom or dad was in it too?
I'm sorry Irene, but you got it all wrong. Hope to hear from you, bro. dfc
I saw on the comments 'backlog' from 2013 a comment from a 12 yr. old girl, quote - "I understand this verse more clearly than adults and I'm 12." unquote. Then a 'dart' tossed at her from an (adult?) quote - " ... can you explain how you understand (this verse?). I am sure we can all learn ... from a 12 yr. old ...", unquote.
I thought of Matt. 12:14 and all the 'Pharisee' verses. cont.
A wretch, 6-27-16 - a person looking for salvation/deliverance can find it in God's word - Acts 2:37-38. God is LOVE, this is HIS plan of salvation, it's in HIS Word, the Bible. Because He loves us so much more than even our parents can, He has provided ALL things we need to overcome. Without FAITH it is impossible to please Him. Faith is simply - believing and then following thru with Acts 2:38.
V. 13 - " ..... only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh; ..... "; the 'flesh' also includes our minds and mouths - "set a watch before my mouth and a door on my lips" - Proverbs. Sorry, I don't know the number reference, but it's easy to look up.
Vs. 19-21 Let us not be fooled. Jehovah God plainly states what practices of sin will not allow us to inherit his Kingdom. There is no such thing as "sinning saints". Some religious leaders may make these practices seem okay. At the end of the day God is our Judge, and he is very clear on what he expects from his servants.
A wretch: not sure what you meant by living in the law? That will bring spiritual death!Reading HIS WORD,Being in church that preaches heaven and hell,the joy of salvation,called of the FATHER John 6:44,forgiveness Acts2:38, things NEW! -- ll Corinthians 5:17. You will be changed! If you slip, l John 1:9- l John 2:1. Best thing that ever happened to me! The next day I woke up to a different world!
Jesus died on the cross for our sins.... Now our part is to live like He lived...Sacrifice our lives by living our life like Jesus !! Give our all by living like Jesus !!
Thank you JESUS for dying on the cross for my sins. Thank you for saving a wretch like me. I can do nothing without you. I work with the public and it is hard to treat everyone the same but , I do.... I know I am working for the Lord and no one else. I have to remind myself of this. My husband Scott is a great encouragement in my life. He tells me to pray and give this to the Lord. I love him.
To the wretch looking for salvation, I myself an an recovering addict. I relasped a lot of times before one day I ask GOD to take the erges away from me. Glory be to GOD He did. It wasn't easy and this christian walk isn't either. When we are weak call on Him , HE will give us the strength to make it through and a way out! Proud of you continue leaning on GOD!
Chapter 5 verse 1 , Just happened to be the verse of the day after my last relapse into drug addiction and gave me a feeling that the Lord was speaking to me . It gave me a renewed hope that this time I will finally walk the straight path that I long for . I hope that all who suffer addiction will see this and find a way to live in God's law and have peace in their lives.
Jesus Christ has made me free ! I am set free from the yoke of bondage to serve my fleshly desires : That is what I believe this scripture is speaking . I am free to serve my Lord God , Jesus Christ : This can only be done through prayer and Trusting God . I will always have to contend with the flesh : The flesh and Spirit are always in battle against each other. Daily Walk : Daily Walk : Daily Walk !!
Jesus already took our sins, pain, worries, our unrighteousness and curse by his blood HE ALREADY MADE EVERYTHING NEW WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS. Our Job now is to believe Jesus that He is the Son of God, Follow Jesus and Live like Jesus . Avoid the Old SIN AND MUST DO REPENTANCE. PRAISE HIM AND THANK HIM EVERYDAY for HE IS WORTHY. JESUS THE ONLY JEHOVAH THE PROVIDER, OUR PEACE AMEN
Food for taught my soul is richly bless just by reading the book of Galatians. God as been so good to all of us, for those of us that choose to follow him Paul line out it clear as to how our Christian walk is. if we just remains faithful to God word our life will never be the same.
This Galatians 5:4 is a comparison between the two remedies for sin. One is under the old dispensation law and the other under the new dispensation grace . The falling away from grace means that a returning to the keeping of the law for justification before God is in fact a moving away from Grace, which is the only acceptable method for righteousness before God. Please not that I submitted this comment earlier, but inadvertently cited Romans 5:4 instead of Galatians 5:4. Kindly excuse the error.
Lord Have Mercy On Me In Jesus Name: My Liberty Doesn't Give Me The Do Occasionally Allow My Flesh To Do Nor Say What I Want That Isn't Godly I Has Allowed Us To Forgive Others Who Has Harm or Wrong Us Forgiveness Is One Of The Best Gifts GOD Has Given Us We Have To FORGIVE OTHER NOT JUST FOR THEM BUT FOR US So That Our Flesh Won't Be Able To Control Our Minds We Are Free GOD Has Prepared Away Out Of No Way For and We Has Godly People Has To Appreciate Life That Has Been Given and Live Has Christians Every Day and Love One Another As GOD So Love Each One Of Us Continue Mercy and Grace Is My Prayer and Leaving My Fleshly Desires Behind Me or Completely Under My Feet Amen and Amen Again
We have been freed from spiritual bondages,sin,curses, destruction and from the hands of the enemy, therefore it is good for us to stay away from sin and to worldly desires but rather we should pray that God will fill us with his love so that we will be like him.
I'm sorry Irene, but you got it all wrong. Hope to hear from you, bro. dfc
