Being a Christian

Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

1Thessalonians 5:18

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Many people have the idea that if they become a Christian, everything will be perfect. Not so. Jesus, the son of God, obeyed the will of His Father. The Bible makes it plain that the life of Jesus was by anyone's definition, extremely difficult. Jesus was the perfect example. In Luke 22:42, Jesus prayed, Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours be done.

Job 1:21

Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Job 2:10

But Job said to his wife, you speak as one of the foolish women speaks; shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Life is a test. Are we sincere or not? Are we saved or not? God gave us the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us when we were saved. He didn't leave us to figure it all out. Most of the tests we have in life are for us to see where we stand with God. It certainly is no surprise to God what we do.

When we were children, we trusted  our parents for everything. We believed everything they said, and that whatever they did was for our good, even if we didn't like it. How much more do you suppose, that our heavenly father takes care of us?

Matthew 18:2-4

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “assuredly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. God bless you and your family. 

Praise the Lord!

Remember Jesus Loves You

Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise the Lord!

Amen
