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.

God loves us the same as He loves Jesus. A true revelation of this will quicken our faith and allow us to walk in the fullness of God. God's love is the key that opens the door to everything that God is. "God is love" (1 Jn. 4:8).
God's love is not one dimensional. There is width, length, depth and height to it, which can only be comprehended through the revelation and knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Those who only have a superficial knowledge of God's love are like a person who looks at a one dimensional picture of the real thing.
In Ephesians 3:19, Paul prays for us to know the love of God which passes knowledge. How can we know the love of God if it passes knowledge? This sounds like a...
I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE ABOUT HOW YOU CAN STAND AND AGREE ON SOMETHING YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR. I AM SORRY THAT SOME WERE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT I MEANT. WHEN I SAY "STAND", I MEANT THE DEFINITION OF "to remain firm or steadfast, as in a cause". I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN IN THE BIBLE. PAUL TELLS US IN EPHESIANS 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." THIS IS WHAT I MEANT. IF YOU HAVE PRAYED, BELIEVED YOU HAVE RECEIVED, THEN STAND.
Jesus is praying for all believers to be one as He and the Father are one.
This goes far beyond what many promote as unity today. Paul besought the Corinthians to "all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" (1 Cor. 1:10). This is God's standard of unity.
This oneness among believers is what Jesus said would cause the world to know that Jesus is the Son of God. This is the greatest tool for evangelism that the church has. The only way that Christ's body will be one as the Father and Jesus are One is through God's kind of love. No wonder Satan tries to get believers to go at each others' throats. We...
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE UP FOR JESUS? WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR HOME? WHAT ABOUT YOUR JOB? IF HE ASKED YOU TO MOVE TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY TO PREACH HIS WORD, WOULD YOU DO IT? THESE ARE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ANSWER ONE DAY. I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT OF WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER IF HE ASK ME TO GO. I WILL HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE. I DIDN'T KNOW THEN WHAT I DO NOW AND I CAN SAY, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THAT, EVEN AT AGE 79, IF HE TOLD ME TO GO, I WOULD. LOOK AT MOSES.
We are not from the world. Through the new birth, we come from God and should constantly remind ourselves of this. It is not good to be too "at home" in the world. We are in the world but are not of the world. Great men and women of God have always had this attitude.
The primary reason that God chooses to use those who are nothing by the world's standards, is so no one else can take credit for the great things that are accomplished.
If the Lord used those who had it "all together" in the natural, then they would share the glory that rightfully belongs to God alone. But when the Lord works miraculously through someone who obviously has no talent or ability, then everyone says, "This must be God."
Not only does this keep others from misdirecting the glory that belongs to...
In this prayer, Jesus prayed twice that the Father would keep His disciples from evil. Then He reveals the way that God will accomplish this - through His Word, the holy scriptures. Anyone who desires to live for God, reject the devil, and reject the world's system, must know God's Word.
We must study the scriptures, for they reveal the will of God for our actions and attitudes. To be filled with the knowledge of God's will, we must be filled with God's Word. God's Word is His will! Those who are ignorant of God's Word will be ignorant of God's will.
Knowledge of God's will is foundational in developing Christian conduct and character. There is no way we can fulfill God's will if we don't know what it is. The starting point for any Christian is understanding God's will for his life. How can a person obtain...
HAVE YOU TOLD ANYONE THIS MORNING THAT YOU LOVE THEM? HAS ANYONE TOLD YOU THAT THEY LOVE YOU? WELL, I LOVE YOU. LOVE IS A POWERFUL THING AND IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO HEAR. I CAN TELL YOU THIS, IF YOU ARE FEELING UNLOVED THIS MORNING, IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT. THAT REMARK DIDN'T SOUND VERY LOVING DID IT? I AM JUST PUTTING IT THIS WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE SO LOVED AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN YOUR BIBLE TO HAVE ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN HANDLE. JUST REMEMBER THAT THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD AND GOD IS LOVE. THAT IS WHAT 1ST JOHN 4:8 TELLS US "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." THE BIBLE WILL SHOW YOU GOD'S LOVE BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHOW GOD'S LOVE IN OUR LIVES. IF YOU CAN SHOW AND EXPLAIN TO A NON-BELIEVER JUST HOW MUCH GOD...
In order to fully understand what eternal life is, it is helpful to understand what it is not. Eternal life is not living forever. Everyone lives forever in either heaven or hell. Also, eternal life is not living forever in the blessings of heaven as opposed to being tormented in hell.
John 3:36 and 5:24 show that eternal life is a present tense possession of the believer.
Here, Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ.
As we have already discussed, the word "know" is speaking of intimacy instead of mere intellectual knowledge. Therefore, eternal life is having an intimate, personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Son.
According to John 3:16, this intimacy with God is what salvation is all...
