We Can Learn

Day 25

Giving Thanks for this:

We know, not we hope, not we think, but we know.
We know that ALL things that come in and out of our lives, out of whose lives?
The lives of certain people. What people?
People who LOVE GOD, people who are called according to His Purpose.
What is His Purpose?
I am confident His Purpose is that ALL people come to repentance so they do not perish.

So, who can know, who should know that ALL things work together for good for them?

People who LOVE GOD.
And who are those people who love GOD?

People who have repented and keep on repenting. 

These people (you and I) should know and live as we know that ALL things, all happenings be those happenings bitter or sweet, GOD is working those situations for our good.

Do we know this?
Do we day in and day out live as though we know this?
We can learn. bible-study-feat-1141351566

A sentence settled in this morning and does not appear to be leaving. 

JESUS does not issue fire insurance policies.

Praying the sinner’s prayer as it has been called for ages, because we are afraid of going to hell is not salvation.
We don’t get saved because we are afraid of going to hell. Now it does point us in the right direction toward salvation.  Of that, I am certain and grateful.

We get saved because we have had enough of carrying around the conviction and filth of sin and we have come to know we cannot save ourselves and we have become certain JESUS’ Sacrifice and Resurrection is enough to save even me (and you).   It’s a GIFT.
Faith is a gift! And when it is offered to you by HOLY SPIRIT, accept it immediately!  You have no guarantee He will offer it to you again. Here’s a LINK to some Scripture to help explain. salvation

Father GOD, it seems to me there are people, perhaps a lot of them, who do not want to go to hell; they want a way out of hell — who wouldn’t want to escape that place of heinous torment?  But do they want YOU? Do they want YOU cleaning up the way they think and do? Do they know that their sins are not just bad but deadly? Do they know that being sinners means we deserve hell? Do they know that YOU want to save them not just from hell but death and corruption and evil and practicing evil? Do people know that sin is evil? That their sins are evil?  Oh, Father, I want them so much to KNOW this. Not because I want to condemn them and hurt them and put them down. No. I want them to KNOW YOU. I want them to live. I want them to be free. To learn to practice sin less and less. I want them to not only miss hell but NOT MISS YOU.  And yet this I know JUST me telling them is not enough, YOU, HOLY SPIRIT, must convict them, and then when they agree with You, assure them that YOU have forgiven them and received them as YOUR OWN. Please do this for any Lost One who comes to this page and every Lost One that I have on my mind right now. Thank You, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA HaMASHIACH. Father GOD, thank You for saving me, thank You for keeping me saved, and thank You for helping me every day. Amen and amen.

JESUS does not issue fire insurance policies.

You get JESUS when you come to JESUS, for JESUS.

Not For Everyone

I was a little short on time this morning to get out of the house to make my way to the office so I could not prepare a posting. Perhaps this afternoon it will be just as good.

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
