What good is Bible study if it makes you more knowledgeable in Hell?
Repentance is the life of a Christian, casting down our own foolish speculations and lofty opinions(theological statements) and strongholds built against the knowledge of God in your life!
So, i'll confess that I have absolutely hated myself for many years, never good enough, pitied myself, wished I was gone, never born, hard on myself to the point where a friend had to say to me "would you stop dogging my friend so much" to my reply is who am I dogging, his reply "you"
So, God revealed this to me while watching James Macdonalds "Thinc Diphruntly" series I watched every week and journal-ed and prayed about. Some may have seen some of my posts about it here actually. IT's cool I am almost done/completely full on my journal started back in 2/18/13
Man! I thank God, even as I write this, He's been so faithful, Joy just in writing these things
I bought a book "God Sings" by Sam Storms
On the premise of Zephaniah 3:16-17 That God sings over you - that He rejoices in you, what He's doing in your life, not who you are now but who you will be by the grace of God's s to sanctifying work through the Holy Spirit bought by the Cross of Jesus Christ
Talk about something that will fire up your faith!
Learning and believing this - acting upon it
I will say this, some may not like this but it makes me lean towards election even more, yes it does! It may not you, but I do not judge you for that
I'll quote this from the book:
I didn't want Jesus, but He didn't wait till I wanted Him
He didn't wait until I had promised to reform
He didn't wait till I got good
He died for me when I hated Him
He never even told me off, when He was on the cross
He just said He loved me and forgave me
It's all of the Grace of God, and it is marvelous in my eyes!
