Beauty in Faith

 

 

Law vs. Faith

 

Many in the world are motivated by the Law.  Continually pushed and shoved around by what they should and should not do.  The voice of legalism ruling in their churches and religions.  There are a lot of false religions in this world.  We must be aware that there is only one possible path to God.  It is narrowed not by rules and obligations but by the commandments of Jesus.  To love others as we make this path the narrowest there is.  Living by faith fulfills the command of love and faith is the only way you are going to please God (Hebrews 11:6).  Without faith it is impossible to please God.  The obedience to the Law does not fulfill.  It is belief in him that cause one to live by faith. 

 

The Beauty of Faith

 

The beauty of faith is the freedom you will find in God after you start loving him and obeying his voice. Jesus should be the Only One to be worshipped by you.  It is no longer God or Jesus and something else to be worshipped.  Jesus Christ is ENOUGH on his own.

Therefore, why would anyone be wanting to be slave to any rules if they can be free of all these by simply obeying him.

 

The Cross of Jesus (Matthew 27:45-56)

 

There is a true beauty in the Cross of Jesus Christ.  Through it, you can be saved in believing in the sacrifice Jesus made for you.  If you look for one minute at the Crucifixion you will find that the trial was one of an innocent man claiming to be the Son of God and being called a liar (Matthew 26:63-67). They could not accuse him of a serious crime and released a true criminal in his place (Matthew 27:15-18).  The confirmation of his identity was evident when thunders roared, and rocks split after his death.  Dead bodies of believers rose from their grave and visited the city after his resurrection.  The curtain of the Temple was ripped in two from top to bottom (A miracle in itself). You will have lost everything if you don’t believe in Jesus as the Son of God.  He is your Only Hope now.

 

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  (Romans 10:9)

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
