I thank the Lord for this🙌 I was angry for some reasons and I wanted to be just angry but He reminded me, along with this verse you shared, that the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Proverbs 21:16: "The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the dead."
Proverbs 14:12: " There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."
Let us not be wanderers, brothers and sisters in Christ. There is only one Way that leads to eternal life—Jesus Christ—not fame, riches, achievements, or earthly pleasures and lusts. The way is straight and narrow, but its end is life and peace.
1Tim 3:16: "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
>>> The word in John 1 is God's word, through ...
You are right☺ "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." (Genesis 1:3). God spoke and everything that was made was made. So, In the beginning was the "Word" (emphasis added) and that Word is God Himself (because He is the one who spoke in the beginning that dawned creation). And right there in John 1:14, the Word was made flesh. That verse is referring to Jesus Christ if you would read the following verses.
I don't have a contention against that. But it is also said in the NT, that Jesus was made flesh. He is God but took on flesh so He could die for our sins. Hebrews 9:22 says, without the shedding of the blood, there is no remission of sins. He is the perfect sacrifice—God Himself.
He is not justa man who gained a special favor from God but He is God. Colossians 1:15 says, Jesus is the image of the invisible God and in verse 17 of the same chapter says, He is before all things. And in John 8:58 Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am."
>>> All this debating when you can just ask a ...
It is not a debate for me though but sharing☺ And, no, all Christians should study the Word of God, not just the priest or a licensed minister.
>>> No, God is immortal so he can't die (1 Tim...
We can just have discussion or sharing about this in pm, if you want☺ But yeah, let's pray may we all come to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ—the only name under heaven givenamong men whereby we must be saved
>>> Ever feel like the holy spirited is just “...
Yeah, I did. But I came to figure out I'm the one ghosting the Holy Ghost. It is not God that creates distance, but I everytime I disobey, everytime I refuse to "listen".
If we do, we'd feel God isn't near. But in James 4:8 it says "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you".
God has never left where He was when we chose to walk away from Him, and the amazing thing is that He will even "draw near" to us—taking that "step" to close the distance faster between us and Him.
There is just no substitute to the presence of God, amen? So, let us also prioritize our relationship with Him. If ever there is anyone here that feels distant from God, let's go back to Jesus while there is time. Tomorrow isn't promised. He is waiting expectantly and with open arms.❤
