namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:19, 20 NASB). Reconciliation with God is so necessary.....so we can walk, work and live the life God has planned for us. Jesus is showing us through God's Holy word how we can be reconciled with God. We are being lead towards God and away from the "high placees" that keep us apart from God. This helps us focus on a Jesus inspired life.....that finally helps us come into the presence of God.

Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. (Isaiah 53:10 NIV) Jesus Christ did this to set an example for us. He showed us mere mortals, how we can walk through our insignificant hardships just because Jesus Christ, according to the will of Our Father, walked through the worst, just for us. He, Jesus Christ, has borne all and even worse.for us. "Asking three times".....for me this means if we pray hard enough, we will be able to overcome anything through Our Lord...since nothing is possible for us......in our own strength......but everything is possible through God.

The purpose of the law.....intensifies our humanness.....the gift of hope comes from Our Lord Jesus Christ and the spirit of Truth Leads us to take responsibility for our sin, yet giving us the strength to know we cannot do any of this.....resist sin.... on our own ....it is through Our Lord that we can live.

We have our faith.....Christ is our savior.....Grace is given to us....a free gift....the Holy Spirit guides us.....lives with us.....the most important life giving gift is handed to us......salvation......by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins......we are promised our due.....according to what we are....what we do.....but God also outlines for us.....what will lose us His Grace and love. He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." (Revelation 21:6-8 NIV)

We have to realize the"Kingdom of God "is here, now and present among us. We have to focus on our relationship with Jesus Christ now at this moment.....this will help us prepare for what is to come. God's promises. Just concentrate on living as God our Father wants us to live. Try and reach that state of being like Christ Jesus in our daily life. The Kingdom of God is not something for the future it is here and now. Live our life according to the Holy word so we, our actions can be a simple explanation to an average person who wants to know God. Now that at the end of the day is is according to God's Will and we just keep on the tract chosen for us.

I was wondering how to answer this question. Then I read another Bible study of mine....the reading was from Proverbs: 30:-24-33. From this reading I realized I can use my mouth to praise God and honor His name by using my mouth to share how Our lord has worked in my life to shape me into the person God wants me to be and not use my mouth to stir up trouble.....make assumptions or jump to conclusions. When we hear the Gospel or the good news we must share it. We must not partake in the evil and wrong practices around us. A valuable lesson learnt again when I read Rev: 9:13-10: 11. This sounds like our world at this very moment with the wars and need to be politically or to use religion as a tool to ensure power...... every time I let someone in my immediately world or in my life influence me.......the media....the entertainment.....the reading material that is culturally popular or i let someone or trend lead me in the wrong direction I am dishonoring God and God's name. My relationship with God...my Father and Jesus my Savior is not "hallowed".
