A GREAT LESSON

 

 

Acts 5:1: “Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the Apostles feet.”  There was nothing wrong in what they conspired to do except for the fact that all were doing the same thing and sharing all their possessions with everyone. As a result of deceiving the disciples, they died instantly.

 

The lesson to be learned here is when we do or say something, are we considering the fact that we are in His presence? We cannot see God but He is omnipresent, therefore He is everywhere simultaneously and that includes being with us at all times.

 

Personally I find myself, at times, at odds with a proposed action or something to say resulting in my awareness of God’s presence. Please note I am not an angel and am certainly not perfect. I struggle as we all do but it’s nice to be reminded at times of our behavior, (My wife does a terrific job on me in this area).

 

PS Faith + Jesus =’s Salvation.

GOD’S DESIRE

 

1^st Timothy 2:3-6: “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all…”

 

The Bible says God wants all to be saved and to prove His desire He offered His only Son Jesus as a sacrifice to pay for the sin’s of the world. Jesus, the Eternal Son of the Eternal Father obeyed God’s desire for you and me. I can’t wait to be in His presence to thank Him because I know that He is not only my Savior, but He is the only Savior for the world. He said he is the way, the truth and the life and I believe it; I hope you do because there is no other way, according to the Bible. This why it is imperative to:

 

Read the Bible and discover the way, the truth and the life.

THE WORST OF SINNERS

 

1^st Timothy 1:15-16: “…of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.”

 

Can you imagine Paul accusing himself of being the worst of sinners; actually, prior to his conversion, he would have to have been exactly as he admitted. Was he any different than any other sinner? No, in the sense he committed acts contrary to God’s will.

 

This means there is hope for everyone, no matter what they have done as long as they, in faith, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. It is certainly amazing what can be discovered when one reads the Bible. Perhaps you will come to know the reason I end all my messages in the same way:

 

Read the Bible and you will discover hope in Jesus.

HE IS OUR BODY GOD

 

2^nd Thessalonians 3:3: “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”

 

Do you walk through the day knowing you have the ultimate body guard? Indeed as Paul tells us, He is our strength and protector; He will never allow trials or tribulations to enter our lives without Him to protect us. We can rejoice in everything no matter what, if we only remember He is with us at all times.

 

Yes we suffer sickness, injury, financial problems, etc. but we will be victorious in the end. Remember God is our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer and has given us the gift of Jesus. He is our Father and will always be there for us (believers). The Bible is replete with this truth. He’s also there for non-believers who seek Him.

 

If you are not a believer yet I suggest you read the Gospel of John; it will show you the way to Him.

 

To be saved, to be inspired, is to read the Bible.
