My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Understanding Jesus Love

Romans 5:8, but God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

If you are wondering about how to find or understand about Jesus’ love for you, or why you should love Him, it is not that difficult. Most Bibles have a concordance in the back of the Bible.

A concordance lists the subject and tells you where all the verses are in the Bible connected with that subject. The best thing to do is to take a word in concordance and make up your mind to look up at least one verse every day. When you look up that verse write it down, say it out loud, then meditate on it for 15 or 20 minutes.

When you put in words like Jesus, love, you will have quite a list of verses to look at. If you make it a regular habit, and meditate on it at least one verse a day, you will soon find yourself remembering verses, and a picture will start to form in your mind.

Then start to read the Bible, one chapter at a time, and highlight the verses that kind of strike you. When you finish the chapter start meditating on the verses that popped out at you. They don’t all have to be in one day, just take one or two a day like you did before.

As you are reading the word, and doing your meditations, you’ll find yourself slowly developing a relationship with Jesus. Your faith will increase as you read His words and understand what they mean. It seems when you make an honest effort to understand the word, the Holy Spirit comes into the picture and speaks to your heart.

As you accept Jesus as your savior, you will find yourself doing and saying things that you have never done before. As time goes on you will find your faith has reached the point where you are so excited that you want to tell everybody.

This whole approach may seem awful simplistic, but it works if you are sincere. Just get it out of your head that the Bible is hard to understand. Get a good study Bible, and the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you, and you will understand. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

TiTus 3:4-5, but when the kindness and the love of God our savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his Mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and by your blood my sins were washed away. By your death and resurrection, you made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen! 

Praise The Lord!

God's Promises Sunday

Reprobate

According to the Bible, a reprobate mind is a result of continual disobedience, arrogance, rebellion, and a refusal to acknowledge God’s will, it is a heart condition marked by a rejection of divine grace, Mercy, forgiveness, and Redemption. A reprobate is someone who persistently rejects God and ignores His commandments leading to God withdrawing His grace and giving them over to their sinful desires.

To help explain what this means, here are a couple of examples from the Bible. Keep in mind that it is what Almighty God thinks, not what we think, or what society says is acceptable.

Romans 1:26-28, For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves to penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things which are not fitting.

Exodus 20: 13, you shall not murder.

Genesis 9:6, whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

Matthew 18:14, here even so it is not the will of your Father who is in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

These verses clearly apply to the world’s obsession with abortion. Moving on we look at a few more verses that cover our society and our world.

Genesis 1:27, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female he created them.

Matthew 19:4, He answered and said to them, have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female?

We live in a world where abortion has become an obsession. Homosexuality and so-called gender reassignment have almost become a religion.

Breaking God’s laws has reached a point that sinning against God has no limits. Just because someone does not believe in God, He still exists. Another thing that God takes a dim view of to put it mildly is leading children to sin.

With our politicians, society, and our schools brainwashing our children with ideas that are against God’s law, we are committing one of the greatest sins of all. We are accountable to our creator.

Mark 9: 42 whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

Matthew 18:6, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he was drowned in the depth of the sea.

Just in case you think the Bible is filled with hate speech, I would like to remind you about the following.

John 3: 16-17, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the World, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Heed the warnings of the Bible. If you are deeply committed to rejecting Almighty God, or our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, you may end up with a reprobate mind and spend eternity where you will not be happy. God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

 Remember Jesus loves you.
