]Jesus has equipped us with the most powerful tool. His word (the gospel). (Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes………). God so loved us that he demonstrates this by sending his only Son Jesus to die for us. whoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life. (romans 5:7-8 , John 3:16,romans 10).
Jesus wants us to preach the gospel but in peace…let there be no offense, judgement or division between his Christian brothers and sisters, we must come together as one. The devil is our enemy, and if we come together in Love we will defeat him. If we are for Jesus we are not against Him. The message given to me by the power of the gospel is: Love (above all things), Faith, forgiveness, unity, Grace ,Holy Spirit and being Christ like.
Love
Did you know we were made to Love, and to give Glorify to God. God is love and he who abides in love abides in God; and God in him. To know the Father you must first know the son.
(John 14:6 Jesus answered “ I am the way and the truth and life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well.)(1 John 4:16, Romans 5:5 God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.)
His greatest commandment is that we love one another, and walk in love. (2 John 5, Math 21:37-40)
Forgiveness
(Mark 11:25-26) And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. He awaits for us to go to Him in prayer and ask for forgiveness.
Let us lift that heavy load, and pray to Christ and ask for forgiveness. He will give you freedom. For sin is bondage.
When we forgive others, its not that we accept the sin or all the bad that has happened. Its giving the sin to Christ. Remember He is the Judge, and he will deal with it. Sin will be destroyed.
Faith
We only need as little faith as a mustard seed. Your faith will grow as your read the power of the gospel. Your faith will grow when you surrender to Jesus, and his presence and Gods glory will touch you in your walk. Let us believe with our mind and hearts and invite the Holy Spirit to guide us in all we do.
(Romans 1:17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The Just shall live by faith”.
(Heb 11) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
How about the criminal who entered paradise by just believing. This really shows a big picture here. One turning to God at the last moment of his life, all He did was believe. No laying of hands, no water emerging, all he did was believe. All things are possible with God. Never give up on any soul. (Luke 23:42-43) Then he said to Jesus “Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom”. And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise”.
In the last days, God says I will pour out my spirit on all peoples. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be save
]Grace
Our loving Father is gracious and rich in mercy. No matter what you think you have done, His grace is sufficient for you.
(2 corinth 12:9) My grace is sufficient for you. For my strength is made perfect in weakness.
(Ephesians 4-5) But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions , it is by grace you have been saved[/size][/size][/u][/u][/u][/size
Unity
We and our sins are the property of Christ. Jesus is also our Judge so let no man judge you. Every time we are forcing our beliefs on others (this occurs among other Christians), and taking offense do we not judge?, let us respect the path that Jesus has given each and every one of us, we all have a purpose to fulfill, and we just need to pray that our purpose will be not our will but Gods will, and that we will be used to give God Glory in all we do. The gospel is preached in peace, and Christ forced no one to believe, for we all have free will. Let us not blasphemy the Holy Spirit, let us not say who is going to heaven and who isn’t, and let us respect those Christians who walk in a different path to our ours.
These scriptures have opened my eyes to what I have just written and I hope that it brings unity among his children.
(John 5:22-23) For the Father Judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the son, that all should honour the Son just as they honour the Father…………..
(Romans 15:20) and so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation.
(romans 10:6-7) ……..Do not say in your heart, who will ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down from above. Or who will descend into the abyss that is to bring Christ up from the dead……….
(Matt 12:31-32) Therefore I say to you, evey sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
(Romans 16:17) Now I urge you, brethren note those who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things.
Holy Spirit
Jesus is the way, the truth and life. The Spirit of truth will teach us all things.
(john 14:26)But the councelor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
(john 14:12) I tell you the truth anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father (john 16:7) but I tell you the truth; it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the councelor will not come to you.
(John 14:17) and I will ask the Father and he will give you another counselor to be with you forever- The Spirit of Truth.
Christ like/living in Spirit [/size]
To be more like Christ we need to LOVE. When we love others, Jesus and God dwells in us. We show Jesus how much we love him by how we love others. When we serve our husbands and children we are serving Jesus. When we give to the needy or poor , we give to Jesus. In all our words and works we represent Jesus so as Christians we must strive in such acts.
So let us wear Gods armour and let us become his fruits[/size].
Galatians (5:22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control………
Armour of God (ephes 6:10-20) Belt = truth, breastplate = righteousness, shod feet = gospel of peace, Shield = faith , Helmet = salvation, Sword = word of God.[
Praise and Glory to God always
