GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS!!!
WE ARE SAVED! We have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb. GOD is our HEAVENLY FATHER, JESUS is our SAVIOR, and the HOLY SPIRIT is our HELPER, COMFORTER, GUIDE and WHATEVER we need HIM to be. We are not alone. God is with us. Praise His name forever. We are to stand before God - HUMBLE. We are to stand before man - BOLD.
REMEMBER, GOD IS A GOOD GOD! Just think we are on our way to HEAVEN. Want it be wonderful there? Free from all attacks of satan. Home at last. Forever more to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
When you get save, you should start experiencing the joyful journey to heaven now! Get your thinking straight now! You are a child of the King now! Not just when you get to heaven. Start now to thinking like a child of the King.
Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6) God is gonna finish just what He started in you. This will be with your co-operation of course. God will not force you to serve Him. This is a decision you will have to make. Either you will serve Him or you will live to serve yourself. If you choose to serve yourself - MISTAKE - BIG MISTAKE.
In the book of John chapter 6, Jesus said, "I can of mine own self do nothing." The same thing is true of you and me. Apart from God we can do nothing. However, Philippians 4 says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." We have no excuse for not doing what God ask us to do. We will not be able to blame someone else. We are responsible for our own selves. Do you read the Bible every day? Do you pray every day? Do you attend church regularly. Do you give offerings to the work of the Lord? Do you pay your tithes? Do you walk in love toward ALL? ARE YOU FAITHFUL TO THE THINGS OF GOD?
Colossians 3:1-17,25
1--- If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2--- Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3--- For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4--- When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5--- Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6--- For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7--- In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8--- But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9--- Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10--- And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11--- Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
12--- Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13--- Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.
14--- And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15--- And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16--- Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17--- And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
25--- But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Colossians 4:5,6
5--- Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6--- Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
