You Called God a What?

 
 
        1 John 5:10-13New International Version (NIV)
10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.                                 
                                            1 John 5:10-13
 
 
     4 times in this passage a word pops out.  The word is "Whoever."  Whoever believes in God's Son accepts a testimony that John is sharing with everyone.  Whoever does NOT believe    this testimony calls God a liar.  Say what?  You called God what?  This is pretty strong stuff.  Believe God, and you accept His testimony.  Don't believe and you call God a name that I will not repeat.  So there are two "Whoevers" with opposite meanings One demonstrates a trust for God, but the other ... well you know.
    
     What about the other 2 "Whoevers?"  I am glad you asked: The first one is related to the other first "Whoever."  If you "have the Son, you have life." The second "Whoever' is related to its counter part "Whoever" who calls God a liar. "Whoever" does not believe the testimony does NOT have life.
 
   You may say, "So What?" John would answer you that he is trying to get people to the most important guarantee of their life time; therefore, after comparing and contrasting the "Whoevers," he brings it all down to God's guarantee policy for life.  He says, I have written all this so that you  will "believe in the Son of God," and I have written all this so you can know for sure that you have eternal life... share in God's life forever.
 
    So many people don't know they have eternal life.  They hope so, and they "maybe so," but they do not definitely know for sure they have eternal life.  John wants to put those doubts to an end. He wants you and me to know for sure we indeed do have eternal life as a result of holding on tight, in faith, to Jesus the Son of God.
 
Go On Out And Be Blessed Today... Especially Today.
Settle Your Life On God's Promise
You CAN Know Your Have
Eternal life.
 
There are no maybes about it.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
