By both creation and redemption we are the Lords property.  We are required to obey His laws;
But we are never asked to do it in our own strength.  Christ helps us in all that we do.

Standard of Truth

The Bible gives us a way by which we can evaluate the validity of a message or messenger:

"To the Law and to the Testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no Light in them!" Isaiah 8:20.

In a world filled with religious confusion, the standard of truth is the Word of God.

I Know My Own

Jesus says, "I know My own, and Mine own know Me, even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father.". John 10:14-15. Revised Version. What a statement is this!  ..the communion between  Him (Jesus) and the eternal God is taken to represent the communion between Christ and His children on earth!

Desire of Ages, 483, Ellen g white

You Are Not Forsaken

Think not that you are desolate and forsaken.  Though your pain touch no responsive chord in any heart on earth, look unto (Jesus) and live!

Desire of Ages, 483, ellen g white

We are Not Left Alone

Through all our trials we have a never-failing Helper.  He does not leave us alone to struggle with temptation, to battle with evil, and be finally crushed with burdens and sorrow.

 Though now He is hidden from mortal sight, the ear of faith can hear His voice saying, Fear not; I am with you.

Desire of Ages, 483, ellen g white

Temptation

When you give in to temptation, you let go of God.

Selfishness Leads to Death

By indulging ourselves we become more selfish.
We ignore God's leading in our lives and follow our own way.
 In doing this, we prime ourselves to follow Satan and later receive the mark of the beast.

Indulgence

By indulgence, selfishness will strengthen.
Desire of Ages, 519, e g white

They Know Nothing !!!

Because "the dead know nothing" (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10),  it is certain that God does not speak through
those who claim to communicate with the dead!

No Light in Them

To the Law and to the Testimony!  If they speak not according to this word (Holy Scripture) it is because there is no Light in them!  Isaiah 8:20

Prophecy

Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe His prophets and you will prosper.
2 Chronicles 20:20

Do not despise prophecy.  Test all things; hold fast what is good.  1 Thessalonians 5:20, 21

God Loves the Human race

God must truly love the human race, seeing that He gave His Son to die for us and His Holy Spirit to teach us!

No Civil Reforms

"The Savior attempted no civil reforms, attacked no national abuses, condemned no national enemies. Nor did He interfere with the authority or administration of those in power.  He was not indifferent to the woes of men, but He knew that the remedy lay not merely in human and external measures.  To be effective, the cure had to reach men individually and regenerate the heart (see The Desire of Ages, p 509, Ellen G White).  This He strove incessantly to do."

Faith and Feelings

Faith and feelings should not be confused.  Faith is ours to exercise in the Word of God, regardless of our feelings, and often in opposition to our feelings.

Many fail to accept the pardon and assurance of the acceptance of Heaven, because they do not take God at His word, but instead turn their attention to changing moods and feelings.

Faith always precedes the joyful feelings which naturally result from the assurance of forgiveness and acceptance. The order is never reversed.

Inhabitants of the Universe

For this reason 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

God...has in these last days spoken to us by His Son...through whom also He made the worlds.  Hebrews 1:1-2

True Story

Long ago, God made the heavens and the earth, and placed the first parents of humanity in the Garden of Eden. This couple disobeyed God, and later their children became more and more wicked until finally God had to punish them.

But God still loved them all, and sent messengers to tell them of His love and forgiveness. But the people would not listen.  After a long time Jesus came down from Heaven Himself to make plain how real His love was for humanity.

So, leaving behind all the glorious things of
Heaven, Jesus changed Himself into a baby, and grew up as all boys do. When He became a man Jesus went about telling people of His love for them, all the time healing and helping them in every way He could.

Jesus told them, that if only they would believe in Him, He would freely forgive them of all the wicked things they had done, and save them from the punishment that was theirs. He also promised to give them eternal life - to return for them, raise them from their graves, and take them to live with Him forever in the beautiful, peaceful Heaven!

This was wonderful!

But instead, they nailed Jesus to a big wooden cross, hanging Him up until He died. It was an awful thing to do to Jesus the King of Heaven.  Jesus was buried, and came to life on the third day. He met with His followers, then after forty days returned to Heaven, promising to return for all those who believe in Him.

 God does not punish the wicked now, instead He wants to give them another chance.
That is why Jesus delays His coming!

 But His coming must be soon now!, all the signs listed in the Holy Bible point to Jesus' soon return!

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved!

God's Promise of Protection

Those who live in the secret place of God will live under the shadow of the Almighty.
...You will not be afraid of the terror of night; nor for the arrow that flies by day.
...Because you have made the Lord Almighty, who is my refuge, even the Most High,
your own refuge; no evil will happen to you, neither will any plague come near your home.

Psalm 91:1-10
Old Testament of Holy Scripture - God's Book, the Bible

Good Thought

The Lord is not willing that anyone should suffer eternal death, but that all should come to repentance! (and have eternal life!)

2 Peter 3:9, The Holy Scriptures, New Testament

You shall Not Murder

They cherished the most bitter hatred against other peoples, and even hated their own countrymen who did not conform to their ideas.  In all this they were violating the law, "you shall not murder."

The spirit of hatred and revenge originated with Satan.  Whoever cherishes malice or unkindness is cherishing the same spirit, and it's fruit is death!

God has shown how high a value He places upon every person, and He gives no liberty to speak contempt of another.  We shall see faults and weaknesses in those about us, but God claims every person as His own.  Even the most degraded are to be treated with respect and tenderness.

 God will hold us accountable for even one word spoken in contempt of one person for whom Christ has died.

Pre-Requisite for Eternal Life

Faith in Jesus Christ is the pre-requisite for receiving the gift of eternal life.  It is a GIFT !
God gives salvation to those who seek it.  Eternal life cannot be bought or sold.  It is given by
God as a gift.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. Ephesians 2:8.

Salvation is received by faith - the decision to believe that God can be trusted, based on the
Promises of Holy Scripture.

Transformed

Being confident of this very thing: that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it to the Day of Jesus Christ.  Philippians 1:6

Transformation!  That's what God will do for you!

When you surrender your will to Him, God will create in you a clean mind and renew a right spirit within you. (Psalm 51:10).  And you can be confident that having surrendered to God, you will live with Him throughout eternity!

Only One Sacrifice Needed

But this Man Jesus, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.  Hebrews 10:12

By that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.  Hebrews 10:10

For by one offering Jesus has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
Hebrews 10:14

The book of Hebrews is found in the New Testament of Holy Scripture. Some scholars believe that the book of Hebrews was written by the Apostle Paul.
