GOD TOLD US

 

1 John 5:7,8

"For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three are in agreement." NIV

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." KJV

If there is ever any question that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the promised Redeemer, the Word records the testimony of God the Father Almighty that He is. The Father spoke when Jesus was transfigured on the mountain and again when Jesus was baptized. At that time He sent the Holy Spirit to rest on Jesus. Jesus Christ's blood was shed at Calvary and the Father tore the temple curtain from top to bottom, caused an earthquake, and opened the tombs of hundreds of saints who came alive and gave witness to the Son of God. Our salvation is not a timely event we can recount. It is faith in Christ because of the testimony of the Father saying that Jesus is the divine Son, Savior, and keeper of our souls.

Heavenly Father, how we praise You for loving us so much that You sent Your Son to die for our sins. We thank You for giving Your testimony that He is the Christ, the anointed Messiah that was promised ages ago. Help us to be living testimonies of the reality of Jesus Christ crucified for our sin and for His living to make intercession for us. In His precious name we pray, Amen.

GOT GOD?

 

2 John 1:9

 

"Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son." NIV

 

"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." KJV

 

How many of us get so caught up in the things that are happening in our daily lives that we fail to let the Word of God rule our hearts? Instead, we try to help God out or just take matters into our own hands. When we do that we show that we do not trust God, nor are we walking in the Spirit of God. If we get involved wholeheartedly in the Word of God and walk according to it's ways, we will find our lives much more peaceful and encouraged. Knowing God is in control and His timing and ways of working things out are the only way to true communion and peace with Him.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us when we try to take care of our issues and problems in our own inadequate ways. We long to continue in Your Word and walk in the ways It teaches. Help us to stay in communion with You so that we will stand on Your Word, strong and ready to let You complete Your work in us and for us. In Christ's name we pray, Amen.

WE ARE STRANGERS HERE

God judges impartially, so we are judged with the same set of criteria
that all men are judged. As Christians, we live our lives totally different
than people of this world, because we are strangers and aliens here.
Therefore we live our lives as Godly people, not taken in by the cares
and ways of this world.

Heavenly Father, help us to live by faith in you and not by the influence
of this world. We ask for strength to live our lives reverently, knowing
we are strangers and aliens in this world and that you are our Judge.
In Jesus' name.

Read 1 Peter 1:17

"Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially,
live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear." (NIV)

"And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth
according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear." (KJV)
