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 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

Is It a Blue Christmas?

  Just to Let everyone know that I usually post on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays .  I will try to keep posting during Christmas as well on those days.   Is It a Blue Christmas? For those people who are fortunate to not grieve right now please bear with us.  My mother passed away last May.  I am living now in her house with my wife.  If my wife was not with me, I would find this very difficult.  Being in this house is so emotional and everything reminds me of what it used to be when I was with my parents.  Sunday morning the pastor preached on one of the attributes of the son that was to be born to Mary and Joseph about 700 years after the prophecy in the book of Isaiah 9:6. This one name that Jesus bears is “Wonderful Counsellor” which means that he is too wonderful for words. It was explained that a counsellor is only effective when people come to him for counselling.   Have you gone to a counsellor?   Has it helped you?   God is a wonderful counsellor, and I was encour

The Holy Spirit: My Guarantee

  Holy Spirit is a Guarantee   Being a Christian is not based on emotions or on an opinion, but it must be based on assurance of the Comforter in me . The Holy Spirit is the seal of guarantee of the Eternal life God has promised to every Christian. We know we are a Christian not by our feelings but by the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.   The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of god’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:14 Amplified )    It is a personal reason   For this very reason we ought to praise him. It is a personal reason for our well-being as Christian. We are going to make it because of the Holy Spirit being active in our lives.   We must allow him to be involved in our daily lives intimately, not holding on to any of our self-ambitions. By then we are dead anyway in Christ but alive unto God by his Holy Spirit.   Getting to know hi
