This verse is good advice for very Christian. Stop and really listen to someone who is speaking to you.
Do not be in a hurry to give your opinion or advice.
Do not get angry if they say something you do not agree with. Think about what they are saying and try to understand where they are coming from. Anger does not show God’s love and righteousness.
Have you ever had a flashlight that shines brightly because it has new batteries?
Then after a while it gets dimmer because the batteries are running out of power. Soon, no light shines at all. The batteries are totally out of power.
Is your Christian life like that? When you first got saved you told everyone about Jesus and your new life. Then things started to distract you and your light got dimmer.
After a while you no longer tell people about Jesus. You fear rejection or you are to busy. You have lost your power and your light is no longer shining brightly.
Confess your sin and ask forgiveness. Jesus wants to give you power of the Holy Spirit to shine for Him.
Intimacy with God requires a repentant heart. In His love, God says when we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to cleanse us. That cleansing restores our fellowship with Him.
God hates sin because He is Holy and Righteous. Sin is anything we have done that God has commanded us not to do.
All have sinned and come short. You can watch a small child only months old and already they are sinners. Selfishness and disobedience. They will be playing and grab a toy from another child, hit or bite.
Jesus paid the penalty for all our sins if we by faith ask His forgiveness, repent of our sin and put our trust in Him.
Every time I see a beautiful sky with clouds, I think “I wonder if today will be the day Jesus will comeback.”
He is coming in the clouds to call all who have accepted Him as Savior and we will meet Him in the air. We do not know when, but we should be looking for that wonderful day.
What about the people who have not called on Him to save them. They will be left behind. Times will be extremely hard. They will realize that they missed the opportunity to invite Jesus to be their Savior.
What about you? Looking for Jesus with excitement or rejecting Him?
Are you facing something that seems impossible? The Bible tells us that with God all things are possible.
Do you lack faith to believe it? Faith comes when we read the Bible. It is the Word of God. The more we read and study the scripture, the closer we get to God and our faith gets stronger.
All things are possible with God!
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
We are all sinners, not seeking God. But, He has great love for us, He sent Jesus to die on the cross, be buried and 3 days later Jesus arose from the dead, to pay the penalty for our sin.
If we accept Jesus as our Savior, then GOD shows His mercy toward us and we are born again.
SOS Events had the privilege of setting up a booth at the Jeep Show at Turkey Creek Baptist Church in Plant City, FL on Saturday.
God blessed the volunteers as they presented the “3 Things God Can Not Do”. People stopped by to listen and 2 attendees received Jesus as their Savior.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
