You are raising this person above other because of status or wealth, you are suppose to love all the same.
With out the mercy of God, Chist our savior dying for and covering our sins with his blood we would all be judged the same. Condemed to eternity with the love of God to comfort us.
The triumph is because Christ died we will never be sepated from God.
-
Christ said there are two commandmands above all others "Love God with all you heart. Love you neighbor as you love yourself. If you truly Love God with all your heart as he commanded, your heart will not be cold to others.
Christ put it in a more simplistic term or condensed version "Love you neighbor (everyone) as you love yourself, show not favoritism.
You are not loving the rich, with a pure heart, under the surface you want this person to like you in case you need something, they may be able to help you, where as the poor may not.
Your assuming that the poor have nothing to offer.
-
You shun those who do not fit the mold you have in your mind of how things should be. If someone does not act or look like we think they slould we tend to not want to have contact with them, Christ wants us to look at them through the blood and see the saint not the sinner.
It makes you judgemental because you do this with a critical heart, not a compassionate heart, Come unto me all that are heavy laiden and I will give you rest ""ALL"": not some.
-
We tend to discreminate against those who are less fortunate that ourselves, or those who are doing something we feel is unacceptable in our eyes. We often want look at ourselves, because to look at ourselves means we would have to acknowledge sin in our own lives and change.
Churches often shun the downtrodden, for fear they may want something. This is not how our savior wanted thing to be, Love your neighbor as yourself.
-
A person who has control of their tongue and compassion for the poor has GOD in his heart. Through GOD only is the selfcontol possible.
Anyone can sit quietly and talk to GOD, but if you have GOD's desires in your heart, you can't be still.
-
Love each other as I have loved you. Love is not perfection-- we must love each other inspite of our imperfections.
Jesus loved everyone the same there was not degrees to his love, this is how we must be--true unselfish love.
Once we learn to love our hearts are open & pure-- We are a reflection of GOD.
-
It is easy to fall into a trap of getting the feel good religion-- I confess my sins--I am saved that is all I have to do.
We must live GODs word in our actions, speech everyday lest we become a stumbling block.
We can not try and hide our sins with our religion, unconfessed sin will take over our lives.
-
By reading and studying the word of GOD we arer lead into a life that mirrows Jesus.
The word is the foundation upon which er build our faith, with total acceptance of the word our faith or spiritual life is baseless.
-
The promise is wisdom, granted with out question.
The condition is that you must believe, no second thought, doubt, ask in faith-and believe through faith that it will be done.
Trials are the cleansing portion of our life, thur trials and faith all doubt is washed away. You must accept by faith, and believe.
-
It's like Einstein's theroy of insanity. To think you can do the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result. To think that you can out smart or out think sin is the same idea. Trials are allowed to show that this is not true. Faith in God is the only way.
We learn that once we put our faith in God, we learn that nothing is in impossible.
-
It is easier to blame God than to accept resposnsibility for our actions, because if you accept resonsibility, you admit guilt and need to examine yourself for change. Hard to do if you are enjoying the sin.
God can not temp you with any sort of evil, he is wholly good.
He allows us to be tempted by our own sinful heart.
He created us to have the right to choose, because he wanted us to worship him of our own free will, not by force.
He will not force us to worship him, out of love we have a choice, out of love he want our hearts.
-
That no matter what you do or how you try to resolve lifes issues on your own you can't. You must get on your knees, confess, ask for forgivness & guidance, but also be willing to accept Gods decision on all matters.
Yes I have allowed Satan to temp me, and through that temptation and weakness destory a wonderful 7 year marriage.
I am in the mist of the aftermath of this, I don't know the out come, but I am putting things in the hands of out father.
-
I believe that Christ is the only son of God, he would have died for just me. I believe tha the Bible is the undisputed word of God. I believe that I would be faithful to Jesus until death. I know that I am not created prefect, and that I will fall short, but I can take it to my Lord, confess, lay it at his feet and all is forgiven-- this doesn't mean that I can contuniullly sin--but that I must learn from my failures turn from sin, live everymonent as if he will return in the blink of an eye.
I must be always on guard, but if and when I stumble I can turn it over to him & beforgiven.
-
It is hard to realize how just God is. We don't want to believe that anyone will be lost- it is hard to realize tha someone you love & care for may be lost forever.
We were given freedom to choose our own path- why then would God punish us for our choices after all he allowed us to follow that path.
-
He is to be the center of my world at all times, all things I do should glorify him & praise him.
Anything that will not bring glory and honor to Jesus should be eliminated.
This is a place of the trials for Christians, we must pass through in order to make our choice to honor God or to disobey him- the world is temporary do not be of this world.
-
We must keep ourselves pur to be present in the glory of God.
If we keep ourselves true to Christ we will spend eternity with him rejoycing, instead of eternial suffering--Seperation from God.
-
If you read & study Gods word there will be no questions about balance.
Christ walked in the world wveryday but was not of the world.
As a student of Gods word you know right from wrong, when to walk away.
When you know what is going on around you is not Gods will you should walk away- be not of this world.
-
It should be from the heart, praise & honor to God.
Holy of Holies, Yahawe.
-
We want to believe God everforgiving, and would not punish anyone
no matter what they did. The concept of sin not being in Gods presents
is hard to comprhend.
We shut ourselves off from God, he never shuts us out.
We make the choice not to believe, its our decision to
live apart from God.
-
They have a steadfast and unwavering loylty to Christ without
consern of the personal cost.
They speak Gods truth accurately, precicely: they do not
exasserate or understate the truth.
-
They will be men of great power & deception, who are
able to hide their true intentions from people. Thru this deception
they will be able to lead those who are blinded away from God.
They will do this through miracles & trickery to achive thre ultimate
goal of leading people astray.
People will be lost forever because they will not be able to see the
lies, they do not know the word of God.
-
Your witness can overcome satan.
Satan and his followers.
We have eternial life.
Because of Christ spilled blood our sins are forgiven.
We must love Christ first to be saved. if we put ourselves
first we are not true belivers.
-
This battle is of such proprotion that we can not comprhend the
sturggle, but no matter what satan tries God will succed.
We are ultimately safe in Gods arms, we have everlasting life.
-
They are not swayed from their task, no matt
what the cost.
We should stand-up for our beliefs no matter
what people think or say, no mater what the
cost to us on this earth.
We will have eternial life with Christ in heaven.
Q1. Hallowed Be Thy Name
in 1. The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:5-15)

I always try to show everyone how much they mean to me not matter what they do, or how they act. I honor my earthly father with love & respect.
I am not as dedicated to my bible studies or my prayer life as I need to be. I let everyday life stop me and hold me in place, this is not a lack of faith, I know Jesus as my savior, He died for my sins, its a lack of self-contol.
Always honor him in our words first, praise him for his love, and the blessing we have.
