Remember, the Bible is God's words. Like. God, the creator of the entire universe and beyond, wrote a book for you. God himself is faithful. You know how he wrote in His book, "Do not worry"? Do you think God had the right idea when he wrote that? God knew that worrying doesn't cause anything except... worry. God said Do not Worry because God is the most faithful trust worthy friend you could ever have. Prayer is not a method, prayer is thanking God. Jesus was the blueprints of Christianity, he modeled the Christian life. And notice Jesus always thanked God for everything even though Jesus didn't have much. Jesus was totally selfless too, he faced people rebuking him to his face and Jesus never fought back in anger. He knew that each person has intense value and he knew that evil does not come from man, evil comes from the evil one. Jesus conquered the evil one, because he forgave the people "for they know not what they do," Jesus meant every word he said. Jesus knew that his war was not against flesh and blood, but against the evil powers. (not more powerful than good)
It means a lot to give your life to Christ, because Christ gave his entire life to the world and didn't hold anything back.
But Jesus said, I am the life.
You know how you've heard people say, "Wow we're in vegas, this is the life!" or something like that?
Jesus saw living in complete selflessness and walking in complete Love as "the life".
We are to Love God, but what is Love? 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails.
Thats what it means to love God.
I hope you read this message in a positive manner instead of me judging you.
