2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2
Recently I was reminded of the battles our soldiers fought and the battles we Christians fight. Christians are always in battle with the evil one otherwise known as the devil. The evil one would have us come away from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and follow our own sinful desires. The devil says mankind is always evil and to a certain degree he is right. Many people that are not of the Christian faith feel that they know what is good and what is not good and then do evil and say it is good. Crazy right?
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
And
8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
And
19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19
And
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
I know that the Bible contains truths and wisdom and if you commit wrong doings than you are not doing good things as described in the bible. Evil is everywhere in the world and people see it so much that it has been normalized but it is still evil.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:13
Then there is this…
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:8
I find truth in the above scripture because too often I have seen people of arrogance say that they are without sin and when I am excited to meet another Christian they say they are not of the Christian faith and people do not to be Christian to discern between right and wrong. From my numerous readings of the bible I have discovered that the bible does contain the wisdom and the truths giving me the ability to discern right and wrong doings. Besides…
10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; Romans 3:10
And
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23
If anyone believes that they have not sinned then it will be their arrogance that will be their undoing. I often write and speak of the goodness of our Heavenly Father God Almighty and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit and how they love us so much.
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
God loves us all so much He wants everyone to repent their sins and come to know and love our Heavenly Father God Almighty and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit.
Here’s something I read in Face book.
If I die as a Christian and there is no God than I have lived a good life. If I die as a Christian and there is a God than I will have eternal life. Which will you have?
Remember:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
God bless all that read this with His love, light, grace, mercy, and wisdom in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:21
