"undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;" Romans 1:31 NKJV When we refused to indulge into the righteousness of God engross in our own foolishness, the Lord will abandon us into self thinking and things into our own purgatory. (Rom 1:28) We will walk through the path of unrighteousness without his presence! This is definitely suicidal and heading condemnation aimlessly! The point of unrighteous word I am stretching is "undiscerning". In other explanation, this is a mark of disobedience by a refusal to understand, with senseless, stupid without knowing and judging what the different between right or wrong into the godliness of His grace. It is through the discernment of the God's words and knowledge He keep us safe and protected from the storm of this world. (Ecc 8:5) Thereafter if we lost our sense of understanding and direction of his laws and decrees we will fallen short into the glory of His abundance grace and goodness. …show more content…
(Heb 5:14) Therefore we must be vigilant and sensitive in God's presence and worldly application. Bring into submission what is righteous and correcting error in the profound Lord's knowledge and wisdom. 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for [His] good pleasure. 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in
If Christ lives in us, controlling our personalities, we will leave glorious marks on the lives we touch. Not because of our lovely characters, but because of his. –Eugenia Price.
It is written, NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING-Jude 24. So we ask ho does God keep us from falling? We stand BY FAITH-Ro 11:20. However, SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH-1 Tim 4:1. HAVING DAMNATION, BECAUSE THEY HAVE CAST OFF THEIR FIRST FAITH-1 Tim 5:!2. We are warned that, IF ANY MAN DRAW BACK, MY SOUL SHALL HAVE NO PLEASURE IN HIM-Heb. 10:38. God keeps you from falling through your faith. If you cast off your faith or draw back, God will have no pleasure in you. The Bible urges us to not DRAW BACK(from faith)…*UNTO PERDITION*-Heb 10:38,39.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
...is seems to line up well with the serenity prayer: “Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Our task as humans is to discern these wills in our lives and separate them. We must not become embittered, but rather empowered, clinging to the knowledge that there is an ever-benevolent God constantly working for our good, and that he always has a plan for us amidst trial presented by life on earth. In order to discern this will though, we have to be on the lookout for it with an awareness of its separateness from our own fears and desires. This discernment is also difficult because of our limited perspectives as humans, and thus we need humility in our search. The most important thing, however, is the search itself: we must all continue to search for the will.
We have been counseled heretofore by prophets of old, "to seek learning, even by study, and by faith". We have an obligation to search the scriptures and to learn what the Lord is teaching us and warning us of. We must go forward with faith, and not backward. We must come unto the Lord, and not expect the Lord to come unto us.
The next item up for discussion is salvation and how it can be achieved. Mr. Williams believes that Christ died for all sinners. He believes salvation is achieved by believing in and following Christ. He writes in his letter to the town of Providence, “All are equal in Christ.” (Williams) We are all God’s children and stand equal in the eyes of Christ. On the other hand...
...ct that they have got to sing with them in heaven or scorch with them in hell some day in the most familiar and sociable way and on a footing of most perfect equality (p. 4).
For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed."
No judgment coming from our own needs. Combine the world in all her glory, In loving all, to tell this story. Participates in acts of kindness, And see others freedom through
To make haste to be kind to all others, understanding that life is too short to be vengeful or malicious, too soon ended to be petty or unkind. For the rest of my life, this very special day, God help me. To keep reminding myself that in order to harvest more ears of corn in the fall, I must plant more kernels in the spring. To understand that life always rewards me on the terms that I establish, and if I never perform or deliver more than that for which I am paid, never will I have reason to demand or expect and additional gold. To always deliver more than is expected of me, whether at work, at play, or at home. To labor with enthusiasm and l9ove, no matter what the task at hand may be, realizing that if I cannot secure happiness out of my work I will never know what real happiness is.
...so holds all things in his power, so rules by his authority and will, so governs by his wisdom, that nothing can befall except he determine it. Moreover, it comforts him to know that he has been received into God's safekeeping and entrusted to the care of his angels, and that neither water, nor fire, nor iron can harm him, except so far as it pleases God as governor to give them occasion. Thus indeed the psalm sings: "For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. Under his wings will he protect you, and in his pinions you will have assurance; his truth will be your shield. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the flying arrow by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at midday" (Calvin 224).
Deeds just done or now aborning Are Thy favorites; prized the clever Warrior of the bold endeavor! Dear to Thee the Sun that's rising, Thou reward for enterprising Souls, Thou prize of tasks completed, Thou in rivalry entreated To bestow Thy grace, advising,
To determine the kismet of Christians who commit suicide, first, one must understand how a Christian reaches heaven. Without Jesus' sacrifice, it is impossible to enter heaven; however, Christ died once and for all, for all sins, and for all people (Carmichael, 2011). Jesus paved the way so that everyone has the opportunity to accept His gift of salvation. No matter who a person is or what they have done, Jesus offers salvation to everyone. To put it simply, a person becomes a Christian when they believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior (Romans 10:9, ESV).
Oh, senseless teenagers of society- to believe that you maintain reason and competence is the very idiocy that blinds you. Whilst you folly in totality to those around, stupidity stabs the hearts of the earth and infects it with your venomous ora. You are consumed and suffocated by temptuous evil. Its savaging claws are forever impelled into souls as yours, and they forebode the innocent of impending corruption. All so subtle but familiar, as temptation replaces obedience with rebellion, modesty with prostitution, innocent games with fatal encounters, and a once genuine love with cold, callous hearts.
... of justice and kindness and devotion; pray and fast without fainting, and spend all of our time in some form of religious worship; if the things that we do were such to get us a name throughout the world, and make us famous to all future generations, it would all be in vain without sincere love to God in the heart. Furthermore, we understand that it is not the external work done, or the suffering endured, that is worth anything but yet it is the extent of love that is displayed that means something in the sight of God.
