The Family in Heaven...

I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in Heaven and Earth is named. Ephesians 3:14-15?

Jesus Christ, who is gone to Heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to Him. 1 Peter 3:21-22

Who Knows the Hour ?

But of the day and hour (of Jesus' second coming) no one knows, no, not even the heavenly angels, but My Father only.
Watch! For you don't know what hour your Lord will come. Matthew 24:36, 42

We will be like Him

Friends, now are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we will be; but we know that when Jesus Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

Grace and Peace

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18

Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2

This is Life Eternal, that they might know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. John 17:3

Without Sin

So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of all. And unto them that look for Him will He come the second time without sin for salvation. Hebrews 9:28

The Trinity

Regarding the new site of signsoftheend I agree with many things they state, except the Trinity. I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! All 3 were present at Jesus' baptism! The voice from Heaven was from God the Father, the Holy Spirit was present in the form of a dove, and Jesus Himself was present. Matthew 3:16-17. Also!, Jesus, before His ascension, commanded His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19. Acts 5:3-4: Ananias lied to the Holy. spirit, v 4 states that Ananias lied to God! Enough said!

Conviction

Do not feel you have committed the unpardonable sin. If you had committed it, you wouldn't even care.

"Every desire for truth and purity, every conviction of our own sinfulness, is an evidence that (God's) Spirit is moving upon our hearts.". Steps to Christ, 26, Ellen G White


Crash Landing, Robert Lee Osmunson, Pacific Press Publ. Assoc., 1963

Satan cannot force

Christ will give strength to all who seek it. No man, without his own consent, can be overcome by Satan. The tempter has no power to control the will or to force the soul to sin. He may distress, but he cannot contaminate. He can cause agony, but not Defilement.

The fact that Christ has conquered should inspire His followers with courage to fight manfully the battle against sin and satan.

The Great Controversy, 510, Ellen G White

Intervention

Everywhere people fear an explosion that will sink our civilzation. Our world is in an undone state, and unless Jesus Christ intervenes, and soon, there will be universal ruin. Thank God for the promise of Jesus' coming!

Why be Afraid of God?

Why be afraid of a God who is Love !?
"God is love". 1 John 4:8

How I was Raised

I was raised to believe that God the Father is vengeful, and would immediately punish for any infraction of His law. I was raised to be scared of the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I was told that if I did not attend church and Sunday school and then died that same week that I would go to hell.

It was not until my 20s that I was convinced God meant me no harm; that God would help and encourage me in my walk to Him. That God actually loved me and that His Son Jesus would return to take His faithful people to Heaven. That was so mind-blowing!

In Holy Scripture it says to fear God. This simply means to greatly respect and reverence Him.

Don't be afraid of God, He is not like a pagan god. God Himself loves you!

Whether You Love Him or Not

God and His Son Jesus Christ love you totally and completely, whether you love Him or not.

Happy!

If Christ lives in your heart, you will be happy and full of praise and joy. The crises of life are as nothing compared to the bright future God has in store for you! Stand true to Him, and soon Heaven will be yours!

We Have Been Purchased

We have been purchased by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God! What a price has been paid for us! Now Christ invites you to come and accept His salvation. He can strengthen you to obey all He asks of you.
