Does God Count YOU Personally Important? Acts 17:26+27 And he made out of one man every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of where men would dwell, so that they would seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us What was God doing before Genesis 1:1? He was thinking. He was planning. He is the God of order. He said -Let us make man in our own image. He planned for us! That makes us a unique creation. Everything God does is applied with physical laws. They are indispensable to life on earth. We are applied and supplied with moral laws. They are indispensable to happiness on earth. Has God lost interest in people since Adam and Eve sinned? No. But violation of Gods laws brings destruction. To each one of us! Thankfully we have the resurrection hope. Thankfully Jesus tasted death for us. He paid the ransom sacrifice so that we can taste the everlasting life that was originally intended for us. He purchased each one of us. Hebrews 2:9 But we do see Jesus, who was made a little lower than angels, now crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, so that by God’s undeserved kindness he might taste death for everyone. We need therefore to grab and hold onto that resurrection hope. We can be acceptable in the sight of God if we apply His commands to our lives. Is 1:18 Come, now, and let us set matters straight between us, says Jehovah. Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be made as white as snow. Though they are as red as crimson cloth, they will become like wool. 1Timothy 1:15 This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance - Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these, I am foremost Paul called himself the foremost case which means that even someone who persecutes Gods own people can be acceptable to Jah. We ARE important to Him but repentance is our own choice. He does not want anyone to die. He takes no pleasure in the death of a sinner. We need to ask Jehovah God for help. He needs to know the real me. So I can be resurrected as me. I need to ask for His spirit to help me. So Jah can know the full details of me. I can be imprinted in the spirit and the spirit goes back to God when I die. Remain in the Truth. John 8:31+32 31 Then Jesus went on to say to the Jews who had believed him -If you remain in my word, you are really my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. We need to be very persistent in prayer. The Bible IS perfection. It is the indispensible record of how we can understand Gods principles. The disciples new the truth through the Hebrew Scriptures but Jesus explained the Scriptures to the disciples so that they understood how it all came together. If the peoples of Israel had not diverted from the Truth Jesus would not have needed to explain the Scriptures. Nor would he have needed to make a new covenant as the Hebrews would have carried it on through to the new age for him. The Bible is ample for faith leading to salvation. Everything is in a logical pattern. For God is logical in His thinking. The one theme flows through Gods entire Word. That theme is the sanctification of Jehovahs sovereignty. What Jah wants is our hearts. We want to be important to God so we need to make Jah important to us! We need to ask for things that are in harmony with His out-workings. Hebrews 2:1-4 That is why it is necessary for us to pay more than the usual attention to the things we have heard, so that we never drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved to be sure, and every transgression and disobedient act received a punishment in harmony with justice, how will we escape if we have neglected so great a salvation? For it began to be spoken through our Lord and was verified for us by those who heard him, while God joined in bearing witness with signs and wonders and various powerful works and with the holy spirit distributed according to his will. Hebrews 3:12 Beware, brothers, for fear there should ever develop in any one of you a wicked heart lacking faith by drawing away from the living God Hebrews 5:11-14 We have much to say about him, and it is difficult to explain, because you have become dull in your hearing. For although by now you should be teachers, you again need someone to teach you from the beginning the elementary things of the sacred pronouncements of God, and you have gone back to needing milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a young , but solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their powers of discernment trained to distinguish both right and wrong. Hebrews 6:1+2 Therefore, now that we have moved beyond the primary doctrine about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying a foundation again, namely, repentance from dead works and faith in God, the teaching on baptisms and the laying on of the hands, the resurrection of the dead and everlasting judgment. Hebrews 6:10-12 For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones but we desire each one of you to show the same industriousness so as to have the full assurance of the hope down to the end, so that you may not become sluggish, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. Our Congregation is a foretaste of the world to come. We need knowledge of the principles of Gods Kingdom. A demonstration of Jahs Qualities through His Word. With the undeniable identity of the saviour. From a physical nation to a spiritual nation. Hebrews 8:9-13 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their forefathers on the day I took hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not remain in my covenant, so I stopped caring for them, says Jehovah. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of (spiritual)Israel after those days, says Jehovah. I will put my laws in their mind, and in their hearts I will write them. And I will become their God, and they will become my people and they will no longer teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying -Know Jehovah! For they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful toward their unrighteous deeds, and I will no longer call their sins to mind. In this we can all be individually important to Jehovah God. Our eyes of faith can see the Kingdom NOW Our faith in God and His promises puts a Responsibility on us. The responsibility to teach others about the Good News of His Kingdom. Faith is not the possession of all peoples He has gathered the type of people he loves. Those who love Him. He draws us. We have been gathered into a great net of love. A net woven by God that we continually weave around each other. We need to be spiritual people to be happy. It is how we were made. Yours sincerely Katidid. |
