“Our Hope, His Unfailing Love”

 “Our Hope, His Unfailing Love”

 

 

We put our hope in the LORD.  He is our help and our shield.  In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His Holy Name.  Let Your Unfailing Love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in You alone.  Psalm 33:20-22

 

This Psalm was most likely written by King David.  It is a song, a hymn of PRAISE.   It describes God’s UNFAILING LOVE for those who belong to Him, and they are called to PRAISE Him, because His WORD is DEPENDABLE, and His WORK is RIGHTEOUS and HOLY.  More than likely, this Psalm may have been penned because of a national victory.  We really don’t know which VICTORY it might have been. 

 

We are given the REASON for this hymn of praise, which is, that the ALMIGHTY GOD, CREATOR of ALL THINGS, that has been CREATED, is, OUR HOPE, OUR HELP and OUR SHIELD.  And in Him our HEARTS REJOICE, because His WORD is DEPENDABLE, and His WORK is RIGHTEOUS.  Therefore, we can TRUST in His Holy Name.  And that is SOMETHING we can SING ABOUT!!  

 

The Psalmist is earnestly asking our FATHER, GOD, to SURROUND US, those who belong to Him, with His UNFAILING LOVE, because our HOPE is in HIM ALONE.  We DEPEND on His UNFAILING LOVE, His DEPENDABLE WORD and His RIGHTEOUS WORK.  

 

In this world we cannot DEPEND on other PEOPLE’S WORD or in the WORK they do, because it is NOT of a RIGHTEOUS nature.  Only in GOD ALONE can we put OUR HOPE, and DEPEND on His HELP, and MORE than ANYTHING, HIS UNFAILING LOVE.  Have YOU experienced that UNFAILING LOVE?  And WHERE are you PLACING your HOPE and TRUST?

 

If you are putting your HOPE and TRUST in OTHER PEOPLE, you really don’t have MUCH to SING ABOUT. Because they are JUST LIKE YOU!  They too were BORN with a SINFUL NATURE, and because of that, they at some point and TIME, will be UNDEPENDABLE, and NOT TRUSTWORTHY.  Their LOVE is NOT LIKE GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE.  So, it useless, to put your HOPE in MANKIND.  

 

But you NOW have the OPPORTUNITY to be able to PUT your HOPE and TRUST in the ALMIGHTY GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE.  This is what you MUST DO, if you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to GOD.  FIRST, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who is the ONLY SON of GOD, and who Gave HIS LIFE to SAVE your SINFUL SOUL.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to HIM and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and put YOUR HOPE in HIS UNFAILING LOVE.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!! 

“The Holy Spirit Praying for Us”

 “The Holy Spirit Praying for Us”

 

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.  For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for.  But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.  And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s Own Will.     Romans 8:26-27

 

When our Lord Jesus was coming to the end of His life on earth, He met with His Disciples, twelve men who had been with Him for about three years of His Ministry on earth.  And at least eleven of them had grown to LOVE and TRUST Him with their well-being.  They had grown close to Him.  And when He told them that He would be leaving them.  They became saddened by the news.  

 

In John 14:16, Jesus told His disciples that He would PRAY to the Father, and He will give you another HELPER, that He may abide with them FOREVER——the Spirit of Truth, who the world cannot receive, because it neither SEES Him nor KNOWS HIM; but you will KNOW Him for He dwells with you and will be in you.  So, it is with the TRUE BELIEVERS of today.  We have the SAME HOLY SPIRIT abiding in US.  And He will be with US until we are taken into our ETERNAL HOME, and our SALVATION is COMPLETED.

 

In the meantime, one of His things that He will do is to HELP US in our WEAKNESS.  And this includes PRAYING, which is TALKING to our HEAVENLY FATHER.  When we DON’T KNOW what GOD wants us to PRAY for, then the HOLY SPIRIT PRAYS for US with GROANINGS that cannot be expressed in mere words.  And Father God, KNOWS ALL HEARTS, and He KNOWS what the SPIRIT is SAYING.  The HOLY SPIRIT is our INTERCESSOR, and He PLEADS for US BELIEVERS, in HARMONY with GOD’S OWN WILL.   And that is just one of the MANY things that the HOLY SPIRIT does for the TRUE BELIEVER.  

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, then you do NOT HAVE the HOLY SPIRIT of the ALMIGHTY GOD indwelling you.  But you do have the Devil directing your life.  And he will try to STOP you from having ANY KIND of RELATIONSHIP with God through His Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED for YOUR and MY SINS.  He did that so we might be ABLE to HAVE a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD.   Now, if you want a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, and be able to have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, this is what you MUST DO.  First ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR JESUS.  And you MUST BELIEVE that He SUFFERED, BLED and DIED for YOUR SINS, but He didn’t stay DEAD nor in the GRAVE, which made Him VICTORIOUS over DEATH and the GRAVE.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and let God’s HOLY SPIRIT PRAY for YOU, and be able to spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.   And ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

 

“This Man, JESUS”

“This Man, JESUS”

 

“Brothers, listen!  We are here to proclaim that through this Man Jesus there is forgiveness of your sins. Everyone who believes in Him is made right in God’s Sight—something the Law of Moses could never do.”    Acts 13:38-39

 

This Man, JESUS was/is the ANSWER to ALL of MANKIND’S PROBLEMS, their TRANSGRESSIONS, (sins) and their RELATIONSHIPS.  The one MAJOR PROBLEM is SIN, when SIN entered the world, through the TRANSGRESSION of Adam and Eve, the world took on a whole DIFFERENT image.  One that was NOTHING to BRAG about.  EVIL and WICKEDNESS has crept into the HEARTS and MINDS of SOME PEOPLE and from THEN to NOW, it has PROGRESSED to a DEPRAVITY of the MIND and HEART so much so that some of mankind is practicing some pretty HORRID WICKEDNESS.   

 

And it is CONTAGIOUS to the HUMAN RACE.  It is very INVASIVE and CAN be DEADLY both PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY.  And SOME are SEARCHING diligently for a PERMANENT CURE!

There is ONLY ONE CURE for this EPIDEMIC, and His Name is JESUS CHRIST. The ONE who WILLINGLY gave His LIFE to SAVE the SPIRITUALLY SICK.  Those who have FALLEN and can’t get up without a RELATIONSHIP with the MAN, JESUS, and to have a TRUE RELATIONSHIP, they MUST CRY OUT to Him for the FORGIVENESS of their WRETCHED SOUL.   

 

This Man, JESUS is the ONLY WAY for mankind to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD.  Unless, you have come to JESUS for your FORGIVENESS, then you cannot have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD.  This is the way to obtain a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the MAN, JESUS. First, ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His Life to SAVE mankind from their sins.  And to provide ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to BE ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS. You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to HIM and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and TRUST, with ALL your HEART, this Man JESUS!!! HE is your ONLY CURE!! So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

  

“A Song of Praise”

 “A Song of Praise”

 

“Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!   Each day proclaim the Good News that HE SAVES.  Publish His Glorious Deeds among the nations.  Tell everyone about the AMAZING things He does.  Great is the LORD!  He is MOST WORTHY of PRAISE!  He is to be feared above ALL gods.”

1 Chronicles 16: 23-25

 

Our Scripture today, is PART of a “Song of PRAISE, written by King David.  And he did this when the Ark of God was placed inside the SPECIAL tent David had prepared for it.  If you have NOT read 1 Chronicles 16, you are MISSING a REAL BLESSING.  Even though it was written for the Israelites. It is MOST DEFINITELY applicable for the TRUE BELIEVER of today.  

 

Notice that David gives instructions on the PROPER way to PRAISE the HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, GOD, Who is MIGHTY in POWER and STRENGTH.  In verse eleven David says:  “SEARCH for the LORD and for His STRENGTH; CONTINUALLY SEEK Him.” In other words, BE DILIGENT in SEARCHING for the LORD, (remember when the word LORD is all caps, it’s referring to GOD.)  So, we are to SEARCH for the LORD GOD, ALMIGHTY and to CONTINUALLY SEEK Him.  And to offer up our PRAISE with the ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE. 

 

The King goes on to say: “Let the WHOLE EARTH sing to the LORD!  And EACH DAY proclaim the GOOD NEWS that He SAVES.”  God LOVES mankind SOOO MUCH, that HE has a PLAN to SAVE ALL of mankind. The PROBLEM is NOT ALL of mankind LOVES GOD, and therefore they have NOTHING to PROCLAIM, in their PRESENT, SINFUL LIFE.   They REBEL AGAINST God, and REFUSE to ACCEPT His GIFT of SALVATION.  And they are then DOOMED to SPEND their ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there.  

 

Once you have WILLINGLY RECEIVED God’s Gift of SALVATION, you are to TELL EVERYONE of the AMAZING THINGS He does.  And ALL that He has done for YOU.  David says we are to: “Publish His GLORIOUS DEEDS among the nations.”  That means to ISSUE PUBLICLY the WORKS of the ALMIGHTY GOD.  GET the WORD OUT to a LOST and DYING WORLD!”

 

In order for you to be ABLE to do that, You MUST HAVE a RELATIONSHIP with God and His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who is the GIFT and PLAN that GOD has for the SALVATION of mankind.  First, You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ, the ONLY WAY to OBTAIN SALVATION, is through the SHED BLOOD, of JESUS, who SUFFERED, BLED, and DIED for You and Me, but He did NOT stay in the GRAVE.  He was CRUCIFIED, DIED, and BURIED in a TOMB.  Then on the THIRD DAY God RAISED HIM from DEATH, and the GRAVE.  HE now has VICTORY over DEATH and the GRAVE.  In order for YOU to become a part of GOD’S FAMILY.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU and that HE is NOW ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.    You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him  for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL lifestyle and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT GOD’S GIFT of SALVATION and SHOUT IT OUT:  JESUS SAVES.  TELL the GOOD NEWS, there is HOPE for an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS!!!  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

“One Thing in Common”

 “One Thing in Common”

 

So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid.  For when they die, they take nothing with them.  Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.  Psalm 49:16-17

 

In this LIFE, we are really classified as being WEALTHY or POOR.  And the WEALTHY seems to PROSPER, in their MATERIAL things, those THINGS that are TEMPORARY.  They sometimes, put a LOT of MONEY in the STOCK MARKET, which, sometimes may DROP to an ALL TIME LOW, or it may even BOTTOM OUT, and they LOSE a LOT of their WEALTH.  

 

Some WEALTHY will want to try to outdo some of the others in their groups.  If one has something done to their big, elaborate home, then someone else will want to outdo the other and they just keep UPDATING their homes, which becomes quite EXPENSIVE. But don’t be too concerned, they will find a way to get what they want, even if they have to do something UNDERHANDED.  Now, don’t get me             WRONG, I think if PEOPLE become WEALTHY, they should be able to LIVE COMFORTABLY and have NICE things.  BUT when it gets, really out of hand, and their GREED, and ENVY takes over, to the POINT of DOING THINGS ILLEGALLY, or MORALLY WRONG, then I guess you might say they are going OVERBOARD!

 

Some may even resort to GAMBLING and LOSING ALL they had.  Then the whole family is HURT by such CARELESS ACTIONS.  The outcome is DISASTROUS.  They DO DESPERATE things and end up with a DISASTROUS LIFE, one that is FILLED with HEARTACHE, INSECURITY, HATRED, and DESPAIR.  And a lot of families BREAK-UP.  And Satan has WON!  

 

There is nothing wrong with having MONEY.  The problem is how that MONEY is USED, and the FRAME of MIND a PERSON has when they have the MONEY.  One thing that is important to REMEMBER is: that the LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL kinds of EVIL.  And some people, craving money, have WANDERED from the TRUE FAITH and PIERCED themselves with MANY SORROWS.  1 Timothy 6:10

 

The WEALTHY may ENJOY their riches here on earth, but what happens when they die? Our Scripture tells us that: When they die, they take NOTHING with them.  Their wealth will NOT follow them into the grave. The ONE THING that the WEALTHY and the POOR, and ALL those in-between have in COMMON, is this, WHATEVER YOU ACCUMULATE on EARTH, STAYS on EARTH. You will LEAVE IT ALL.  You can take NOTHING with YOU into your ETERNAL HOME.  

 

The BEST you can do is to ACCUMULATE SPIRITUAL things, like GODLY RIGHTEOUSNESS, which you MUST HAVE to get into HEAVEN.  And that you get when YOU come to JESUS CHRIST, as HUMBLY as you can, for the SALVATION of your SOUL.  This is what you MUST DO to obtain it, YOU MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE in order to SAVE your SOUL.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for you, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and REMEMBER: The ONE thing we ALL have in COMMON:  We CAME into this world with NOTHING, and we will LEAVE it with NOTHING, unless you have given your HEART to JESUS, then you will have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and be able to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

“God’s Mighty Power Within the Church!”

 “God’s Mighty Power Within the Church!”

 

“Now all glory to God who is able, through His Mighty Power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Glory to Him in the Church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!  Amen.”  Ephesians 3:20-21

 

As Children of the LIVING GOD, the CHURCH, the BODY of CHRIST, we fail to REALIZE the POWER we have within us.  The Apostle Paul wanted to leave this KNOWLEDGE for the TRUE BELIEVERS in EPHESUS.  We seem to forget the AWESOME POWER that God has and that He uses in the TRUE BELIEVERS to ACCOMPLISH MORE than we might ASK or think.

 

When we STOP and THINK of ALL that GOD is ABLE to do, such as:  SPEAKING this WORLD into existence, the CREATION of MAN from the DUST of the ground, and WOMAN from ONE of the man’s ribs.  PLUS the CREATION of EVERYTHING else.  He was ABLE to SPLIT the RED SEA and to SAVE the Hebrew Children from the FIERY FURNACE.  He was ABLE to SAVE Daniel from the LION’S Den.  And MANY MORE MIRACLES, the BEST of ALL though, is the SALVATION of MANKIND.  

 

He is ABLE to SAVE MANKIND from an ETERNITY of the HORRORS of HELL, and to GIVE us the BLESSING of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Something that MANKIND CANNOT do for themselves.  Yet we, who have given our HEARTS and LIVES to Him, has His MIGHTY POWER at work within US, in order to ACCOMPLISH MORE than we might ASK or THINK.  

 

Through the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST, we have been made RIGHT with the ALMIGHTY GOD, and we have His POWER working in US through His HOLY SPIRIT, Who indwells us and gives us the POWER we NEED to ACCOMPLISH MORE than what we might ASK or THINK.  It is His POWER that enables the TRUE BELIEVER to DO the WILL of GOD in their LIVES.  To allow the HOLY SPIRIT full access to their WHOLE BEING will ACCOMPLISH the PLAN of God in that BELIEVER.  

 

How about YOU?  Do YOU have the HOLY SPIRIT of God indwelling YOU?  You DO NOT have His SPIRIT or HIS POWER within you, if you have NOT come to Him through the SHED BLOOD OF HIS ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SINFUL SOUL.  And to make you RIGHT with HOLY GOD.  Now, in order to HAVE His SPIRIT and POWER you MUST DO THIS: ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ, who DIED for YOU and is NOW ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU, before God.  You MUST BELIEVE this with ALL your HEART, and then CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and ALLOW HIS HOLY SPIRIT to FULLY WORK IN and THROUGH YOU, with the MIGHTY POWER of the LIVING GOD. Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!   Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

 

“Something You Must Not Forget!”

“Something You Must Not Forget!”

 

But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends:  A Day is like a thousand years to the lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about His Promise as some people think.  No, He is being patient for your sake.  He does not want anyone to be destroyed but wants everyone to repent.    2Peter 3:8-9

 

The Apostle Peter wanted his friends to UNDERSTAND that MANKIND’S way of counting time and God’s Way are DIFFERENT.  To some God is being very SLOW or LAXED in KEEPING His PROMISE of the RETURN of CHRIST.  What seems like a LONG TIME to MANKIND is really a SHORT time to the ALMIGHTY GOD. In God’s way of counting time, the Church Age has lasted only TWO DAYS!

 

Another reason for, what WE believe to be a LONG TIME, is that God wants as MANY people as POSSIBLE to be SAVED.  What some people believe to be SLOWNESS or DELAY in God’s PROMISE, is ACTUALLY caused by an ATTRIBUTE of the LIVING GOD, and that attribute is PATIENCE.  He is WAITING for EVERYONE who will COME to Him and be SAVED from His JUDGMENT and His WRATH.   There will come a time when He STOPS dealing with mankind and will say: “SON, GO GET MY CHILDREN!”  Then, if you do not COME to HIM, NOW, while you STILL CAN, it will be TOO LATE!! 

 

It is NOT the DESIRE of God that ANY SHOULD PERISH and be DESTROYED, So, He, is WAITING on YOU! Could YOU be the LAST ONE to receive God’s GRACIOUS GIFT of SALVATION?  MAYBE, but it could be that for someone else who will ACCEPT God’s INVITATION to become a part of His FAMILY.   He is WAITING on YOU!!  Please DON’T DELAY!!!  You may NOT have the TIME to PUT HIM OFF AGAIN.  In order to become a part of GOD’S FAMILY, you MUST FIRST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  The One, who GAVE HIS LIFE to SAVE YOUR SOUL!  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His SALVATION!  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be ABLE to ESCAPE HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  And RECEIVE HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS as your ETERNAL HOME.  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

  

“The Humble Servant”

 “The Humble Servant”

 

Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God, as something to cling to.  Instead, He gave up His divine privileges, He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.  When He appeared in human form, He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.   Philippians 2:6-8

 

Jesus Christ, the Son of the LIVING GOD, knew, even at an EARLY AGE, who He was, and this KNOWLEDGE, astounded the MOST LEARNED people.  We are told that when He was twelve years old, He and His Family did their annual trek to Jerusalem for the Passover festival.  When Joseph and Mary started home, Jesus was NOT with them, but this did NOT worry them, they thought that He might be with some of the other people who were traveling with them.  However, when Jesus didn’t show up that evening Mary and Joseph started looking for Him. And when they found Him, He was in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions.  ALL who heard Him were AMAZED at His UNDERSTANDING and His ANSWERS.  While He was there, He displayed some of His Heavenly Father’s Attributes, such as, being OMNISCIENT (All KNOWING).  In verse 49, Jesus asked His Parent a question; “But why did you need to search? Didn’t you know that I must be in My Father’s House?” Luke 3:41-51

 

So, at an EARLY AGE, Jesus knew that He was to be TOTALLY OBEDIENT to HIS HEAVENLY FATHER.  As He grew into a MAN, He, KNEW what it TRULY MEANT to take on the role of a HUMBLE SERVANT, one who was COMPASSIONATE, LOVING, STRONG, COURAGEOUS, and ONE who was and had been, TOTALLY OBEDIENT to HIS HEAVENLY FATHER, so much so, that He HUMBLED HIMSELF in OBEDIENCE to God and DIED a CRIMINAL’S DEATH on a CROSS.  

 

A Christian, who DESIRES to have a CHRISTLIKE ATTITUDE like JESUS CHRIST, needs to possess two important attributes:  They NEED to HUMBLE themselves and to be OBEDIENT to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.  And when you TRULY KNOW who you are, a SAINT of GOD or a WRETCHED SINNER. To the One, who is the SAINT of GOD, a TRUE CHILD of the LIVING GOD, then SERVANTHOOD won’t be a problem, but COULD be a BLESSING.

 

If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are putting your ETERNAL EXISTENCE at GREAT RISK. Those who ARE NOT a CHILD of GOD, will face JUDGMENT and CONDEMNATION, because they think that CHRISTIANITY is a FARCE, and they have NOT COME to GOD through TOTAL BELIEF and FAITHFULNESS in His Son JESUS CHRIST.  In order to do that you MUST FIRST, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, The ONE who FREELY GAVE HIS LIFE, to provide for YOU and ME, ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to be able to ESCAPE HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN from your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN to GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and take on the MINDSET of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and be an OBEDIENT, HUMBLE SERVANT of the LIVING GOD.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
