DO WE UNDERSTAND THE HOLINESS OF OUR GOD? HIS VERY NATURE IS HOLY.

WE OFTEN SAY, THAT GOD'S VERY NATURE IS LOVE, AND THAT IS TRUE, BUT DON'T LEAVE OUT HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.

 BE CAREFUL TO NOT INVENT A JESUS IN YOUR MIND THAT IS JUST LOVE. 

1 PETER 1:14-16
AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, NOT CONFORMING YOURSELVES TO THE FORMER LUSTS, AS IN YOUR IGNORANCE,  BUT AS HE WHO CALLED YOU IS HOLY, YOU ALSO BE HOLY IN ALL YOUR CONDUCT, BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN, "BE HOLY FOR I AM HOLY"

THERE IS LOVE, BUT THERE ALSO IS DISCIPLINE.
ANY PARENT THAT LOVES THEIR CHILDREN WILL DISCIPLINE THEM AS IT SAYS IN PROVERBS.

PROVERBS 13: 24
HE WHO SPARES HIS ROD HATES HIS SON,  BUT HE WHO LOVES HIM DISCIPLINES HIM PROMPTLY.
WE MUST REMEMBER OUR GOD IS HOLY, AND RIGHTEOUS. YES, HE IS MERCIFUL AND LOVING ALSO, BUT HE IS ALSO JUST.

HEBREWS 12:8-9
BUT IF YOU ARE WITHOUT CHASTENING, OF WHICH ALL HAVE BECOME PARTAKERS, THEN YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE AND NOT SONS.

FURTHERMORE WE HAVE HAD HUMAN FATHERS WHO CORRECTED US, AND WE PAID THEM RESPECT.  SHALL WE NOT MUCH MORE READILY BE IN SUBJECTION TO THE FATHER OF SPIRITS AND LIVE?

DISCIPLINE IS GOOD FOR THOSE THAT BELONG TO THE LORD.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HOLY?

 IT MEANS THAT WE WHO ARE BELIEVERS AND FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST, ARE SEPARATED UNTO GOD, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT WAS IN JESUS.

 IF WE ARE SEPARATED UNTIL GOD, THEN WE DO NOT BELONG TO THIS WORLD.

 WE CHOOSE TO NOT SIN, IT IS NOT IN OUR NEW NATURE.  THE WANT TO SIN, IS  NO LONGER IN CONTROL.  WE HAVE TURNED IT ALL OVER TO JESUS.

 WE WILL SIN (OR MISS THE MARK) WHEN WE MOVE OUTSIDE OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN GOD.

 IF WE ARE SEPARATED UNTIL TO LORD, OUR AIM IS TO BE LIKE JESUS.  
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING THAT IN US DAILY.

 IN GOD'S HOLINESS IS, MERCY, LOVE, FORGIVENESS AND COMPASSION.  ARE THESE QUALITIES IN US AS WELL?  

 CAN THE SINFUL WORLD SEE JESUS IN US?
IF WE ARE CLAIMING TO BE CHRISTIAN, THAT MEANS TO BE LIKE CHRIST OUR LORD.

EPHESIANS 1:4
JUST AS HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE.

BELOVED, WE MUST REMEMBER WHO WE BELONG TO.  HE IS HOLY AND LOVING, BUT HE LOVES US TOO MUCH TO LEAVE US TO OURSELVES.

ISAIAH 6:3
WHO IS LIKE YOU, O LORD, AMONG THE GOD'S?
WHO IS LIKE YOU, GLORIOUS  IN HOLINESS, FEARFUL IN PRAISES DOING WONDERS?

GOD'S HOLINESS IS PERFECT.  
WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED IN THE WORD OF GOD TO BE HOLY, BECAUSE WE ARE BEING PERFECTED DAILY.
ARE WE PERFECT? ONLY IN OUR NEW BORN AGAIN SPIRIT.  
BUT THERE'S MUCH TO BE ACCOMPLISHED IN OUR BODY AND SOUL.

PRAISE GOD THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IT IS WORKING ON AND IN US DAILY.

BELOVED, WE ARE NOT PERFECT YET, BUT WE ARE BEING PERFECTED AND WHEN FATHER LOOKS AT US HE ALREADY SEES US COMPLETE AND HOLY.  PRAISE GOD!

LIVE YOUR LIFE REMEMBERING THE PERFECTING PROCESS IS GOING ON, STAY AWARE OF THE WORK THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS DOING IN YOU.

FAITH IS GROWING IN YOU DAILY AS YOU TRUST THE LORD. READ GOD'S WORD DAILY!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY IN JESUS, AND LOOK FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO BLESS OTHERS.

GOD BLESS YOUR DAY
JESUS LOVES YOU

LOVE IN JESUS
JOY

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He 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." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
