About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WE ALL NEED TO STUDY GOD'S WORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
IN STUDYING THE NEW TESTAMENT AND READING ABOUT PAUL, I FIND IT AMAZING WHAT ALL HE ACCOMPLISHED IN HIS LIFETIME AND HOW GOD USED HIM. IN HIS EARLY LIFE HE WAS SO AGAINST THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS THAT HE WENT AROUND THE COUNTRY FINDING ANYONE LISTENING TO JESUS' TEACHINGS AND EITHER HAD THEM KILLED OR PUT IN PRISON. IT ONLY TOOK ONE ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS TO CHANGE ALL OF THAT. PRAISE GOD THAT IT DID CHANGE AND GOD SENT HIM TO US GENTILES TO PREACH THE GOSPEL THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM. HE DOES THIS IN THE 13 BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT WHICH HE WROTE.
YOU SEE, THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS TAUGHT ONLY TO THE JEWS. EVERYTHING YOU READ IN MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN, UP UNTIL THE DEATH OF JESUS, WAS WRITTEN ONLY FOR THE JEWS. IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THIS WHEN YOU ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE BUT I USE A LOT OF THEIR TEACHINGS. I DO THIS BECAUSE OF 2ND TIMOTHY 3:16 WHERE IT SAYS "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." THE DISCIPLES AND PAUL HAD A "GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT" THAT IT WOULD BE THAT WAY. LET'S READ WHERE PAUL TELLS OF THEIR AGREEMENT IN GALATIANS 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen (GENTILES), and they unto the circumcision (JEWS). (BRACKETS ARE MINE) SO, WHEN YOU ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE, DON'T SKIP OVER ANY OF THE BOOKS THAT PAUL WROTE BECAUSE THEY WERE WRITTEN FOR US. IN FACT THE GOSPEL, THE DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS, WAS GIVEN TO PAUL.
JUST A SIDE NOTE ABOUT THE 12 DISCIPLES. I HAVE WRITTEN THIS BEFORE BUT I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING SO I WILL WRITE IT AGAIN. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY THE DISCIPLES WERE NOT AT THE TOMB ON THAT THIRD DAY WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD? THE REASON IS THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT JESUS WAS GOING TO BE CRUCIFIED. IT WAS EVEN TOLD TO THEM BUT GOD HID IF FROM THEM FOR SOME REASON. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN LUKE 18:31-34 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
GET INTO GOD'S WORD SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT BE ASK BY SOME LOST PERSON. DON'T LET SOMEONE GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF YOU. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO LEAD SOMEONE TO JESUS, FIND OUT AND STUDY HOW TO DO IT. PAUL WROTE 13 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE PERTAINING TO THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER TO LEAD SOMEONE TO JESUS AND WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM GO TO WASTE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
