hellow brothers and sisters may God bless you and guide you all and myselfe
Speaking of a love relation with God is a spiritual idea which nourish the soul and brings upon serenity and peace to troubled minds.
But is love enogh???????????
God has created me -granted me life-enabled me to live in peace with a family.
he has given me senses -He knows me -He love me-He subjected everything in this Universe to serve me -Nothing passes his absolute knowledge and mightiness.
He is great and just and generous
Dosent he deserve to be worshipped???
He made himself clear in a merciful way by sending messengers who have one theme ((Worship God And None but him)) ((obye his rules and commands)) ((listen to his Words))
But why dont we listen?? why dont we worship him HE DESERVE IT??
Why do we just talk about his love and ignore his right to be worshippped??
Does love or a relation with God allows us to Sin and not repent?
Does it allow us to ignore him when it comes to adultry and booze ?
is it a teaching of God to steal-kill-lie-or sleep around??
We dont just need talk!!!! we need good deeds!!!!! and a set of rules which tells us right from wrong!
Where can we find such rules-
in which Holy book????
if you have a Bible (not a Jehovah's Witness New World translation or Book of Mormon), open it to the 4th Gospel, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN.
that book presents Jesus as God.
before you begin to read, be quiet for a while, ask The Lord to help you understand, to open your eyes to His Truth, to Guide you through it, to give you a heart to know Him.
then calmly and slowly read the Book.
if there's something you don't understand, make a simple note about it and move on.
don't be afraid of things said to people in the narrative (since much of that is not said to you personally). you are just going to get to know ABOUT Jesus first.
God is Good, and He desires to save you, and He will honour any sincere seeker. He will not leave you.
try to do this several times a day, every day.
when (not if), you find that you actually
BELIEVE what you are reading, you willl know you have been granted faith. it is a gift.
stay with it until you believe what the bible says about you (you are a sinner), and what it says about Jesus (He lived a Righteous Life in your place since you can not), and He died in your place, taking your punishment for sin (though He had none).
when you BELIEVE this....(you can't make yourself believe it, God will give you the faith (belief) if you stay with it, you will already have read about what a Christian does (repent - have a change of heart about sin and yourself; be baptised; be thankful in everything; find others who also know the Lord....we love you).
pm me if you like.
i'll pray for you.
