"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
It has come to my attention that I have about 30 folks who visit my blog several times a week, who never respond in a message to me, but apparently come,, I do not know why... is there something here that draws them, or are they simply voyeurs who enjoy peeping into the lives of others. I would prefer that any who visited here would leave a message, even as brief as it may be, because I lived through a few years of having a peeping tom come around our home as a teen and it was very uncomfortable. He was finally found out and reported to the authorities and that was the end of it... But in this case, I realize even as you may think you are hiding there is one who follows you around everywhere you go... One who knows everything about you,who knows every thought you ever had, every word you've ever spoken, every deed you ever done In public and behind closed doors.. and He loves you any way.. For
Psalm 139:13-16 David, a king of Israel and a great sinner, said of God
"For you, God, created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
And that same God has followed you all the days of your life because he is seeking you.. His Holy Spirit is drawing you out of the dark and into His marvelous light!
Because 2000 years ago, Paul, a missionary to Rome wrote, as inspired by the Spirit Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Thus begins a daily writing on the topic of How to Be Saved and come into a love relationship with the One True God!
Why would I take my time to do this, you ask?
Because in this world I do not know how anyone can live without God, His protection, His oversight, His invitation to come into His throne room at any time day or night through prayer and fellowship... the news blasts out such obscenities, such hatred and lies, such threat of war and unrest, a life without God must be dismal, indeed... hopeless in the face of oblivion! With a simple confession of faith, the lost are automatically found, rescued from the darkness into His glorious light! Instead of being set adrift, they become anchored to the giver of life and the Creator of the Universe. I cannot imagine not taking that simple step.. what is that step
so simple
Paul wrote, as inspired by the Spirit
that if you confess with your mouth "Jesus [is] Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.
I used to teach this to 4 year olds in my Sunday school classes and they got it.. even with their young minds.. you do not try to explain it... because things of the Spirit are not naturally understood.. we believe by faith, because it is the Word of God.. and Jesus is the Word...!!!!
You might try to outwit me and say how do we know the Bible is true...
Scholars smarter and wiser than you or I have proven it every which way .. science has proven much of what nay sayers said for years couldn't be true... Creation,... the age of the world, explained how man and dinosaurs walked the earth together. If you continue to be a naysayer then you are out of touch with the scholars of today. and chances are you a re choosing to believe the lies of the enemy who is perfectly satisfied if you never come to know God ..
I hope I have given you something to think about.. and if you come back I choose to beleive the Holy Spirit is drawing you back... and you might like to know the Holy Spirit is irresistible.. I am praying for you.. Prayers are powerful and do not return to me void.. so God bless you who ever you are. But if you decide to come back, be a good neighbor and say hi at least.
