Galatians 5:13-16 - "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love sesrve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
Underline in your Bible, "by love serve one another." what should we do with out blessing of salvation? We were given the opportunity to live by His grace should there be any more to the story when you get saved. Are you going to hold that joy in? Are you ashamed of His grace? When God's son came off the throne, He never expected us to be saved by His blood and not share it with anyone else. God allows us to share our gift of salvation with other people.
That's the best news so many will hear. There are many who will mock you but they're not turning away from you but turning away from God. I've said this before: write your testimony down on paper because nobody can say that it didn't happen because that's your story." We should be seeking God's righteousness. And we should be telling so many people about it. There's nothing in T.V.land other than christian channels that will preach to our children. It's up to us to tell others and or kids about the Lord and Savior.
Matthew 6:33 - "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
What's going to happen when we seek the word of God and His righteousness. We'll be put back on the right hand of God. You want blessings? Seek first the kingdom of God.
This is reality. If the believer doesn't share salvation message, nobody else will. The pure love comes from God. The love that took Jesus off His throne only comes from God himself. We love our spouses and children but the pur love God has for us only can be obtained through salvation.
To be loved by God is a blessing that we should want to share with others. It's hard to love me, it's hard to love you, but God does it anyways. We fail Him many times but other and over again. He forgives us. That's pure love.
1 John4:7-8 - "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." That's where love comes from. You can't know God without loving somebody.
If you don't have the love of Jesus in your heart, you may as well stay home. It takes the love of God to tear those barriers down. We're all unlovable but He still loves us. We were born to die. Nothing we do can interfere with that, only the love of Jesus. That's what Jesus did for us. He loves the unloveable. he died for the one who nailed Him to the cross because He loved us all. I think He loves us more today, the more we talk with Him and walk with Him.
The more mature as Christians, we share the love of Jesus. When Jesus saved me and tears are coming down my face, I realized then that God loved me more than I've ever been loved or will be loved before.
I don't believe God gives blessings to hold onto. He wants us to share the blessings with others. The greatest manual for life is right here: The BIBLE. Do we share this blessing? The Bible is a blessing. We've got the complete word of God and we should be sharing this blessing always. Answers to any question is in the scriptures. Reading your bible with your kids and grandkids is a blessing. That's what my grandma taught me. id read one day and she'd read the next.
We can pray and pray and pray for folks but if we don't share the word of God, then we aren't sharing the blessing of God.
Matthew 24:14 - "And this gospel of the kindom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
The word of God will be around till He calls us home. We need to be thankful for the word of God. The word of God can be shared by writing messages, handing out pamphlets but sharing the word of God is how you feed your soul. It's our responsibility when people get saved to open the word and teach them the word of God.
Matthew 28:19-20 - "God ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Jesus said, "Go teach them the word, tell them about me, tell them where they're headed if they don't follow the word of God." Jesus first, Jesus first is the foundation we need to lay in others. If we really believed that heaven is as real as it is and hell is as hot as it is, we would be going from door to door to teach the word of God. God said if we ask, He'll forgive us.
