Jesus comes to us where we live, He loves us as we are.

Our hearts are God's birth place and our lives are His home.

Have you ever wondered why God takes us just as we are?
It is because, He wants to place His nature in us.  He has already made us in His image, but through sin, our character and nature was marred.

The very character of Jesus is being formed in us.

God formed us (Genesis 1:26) "Let us make man in our image"

Sin deformed us ( Romans 3:23) "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Human knowledge reforms us ( Proverbs 14 :12) There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of it leads to death."

Christ transforms us (Romans 5:1) Being justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

The Word of God conforms us. (2Timothy 3:16) All scripture is God breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness."

The trouble with human knowledge is that it will change and not be stable, it is fickle and new ideas from the world creep in.

Let God's word conform you into His very nature. It is a choice we make, wanting to spend time in God's word. We can use the word reprogram us, to thinking as believers our Father's thoughts of love for all humanity.

To be trained in the righteousness of God will take some time, but so worth the training process.  It seems difficult at first to concentrate and meditate on God's word, but if we ask the Holy Spirit, who is our Teacher, He will reveal to us what we do not understand.

God knows everything about us, nothing is ever hid from Him.  Yet He loves us enough to leave heaven and die in our place in order to redeem us back from the sin nature.
Now through the Holy Spirit He has placed the very nature of God in us, when we first received and believed in Him.

Colossians 2:6-9
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. 
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Like the song says, "just as I am without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me."

Beloved, realize the gift of all God has done for us, Love Jesus, serve Jesus with a heart of thanksgiving.

Colossians 2: 13-15
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the un-circumcision of your flesh.  He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all your trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us.  And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over  them in it.

Yes, Beloved, He takes us just as we are and He does a work in us to transform our lives in order for us to live a righteous life of love and forgiveness that reflects our Lord's nature.

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
