Growing Closer To Jesus Daily
We are taught in the Bible to not worship angels. Even angels have told people to not worship them but God alone.
False prophets speak by way of evil spirits, not by way of God. You can know this by way of the Holy Spirit in us.
Our tongue can get us in a lot of trouble. Only God can help tame it, that we may speak kind words and not curse words.
Colossians 4:5,6 (KJV)
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
We are capable of walking in wisdom, but only when God is near to our hearts. Seek His hand and you will speak His words also.
Colossians 3:1-4 (KJV)
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
We are capable of living a life pleasing to God, but only if we allow the Holy Spirit to move in each of our lives.
Colossians 2:8-11 (KJV)
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Remember to stand strong in the Lord Jesus daily. Only by doing this, will you be not led astray by the doctrines of men.
Colossians 1:15-17 (KJV)
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
We give thanks to the Father, for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. We owe all for what has been done for us.
Because of the subtle craftiness of men, people have perverted the true gospel message and led millions of people astray.
Colossians 2:11,12 (KJV)
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 3:16 (KJV)
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Voting for our president of choice doesn’t always work out in our favor. But we keep the peace and trust in Jesus, our King.
Jesus was crucified that we might be saved. Every person who believes in Him can be forgiven and find mercy from the Lord.
Colossians 3:18-21 (KJV)
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
As wives submit to their husbands as unto the Lord, we love them the same way we love God. And we don’t let anger jeopardize this.
God desires that we are made clean. That our sins are washed away. This way our desires are changed to do his will instead.
Colossians 3:23,24 (KJV)
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
It is time to exam ourselves to see if we are in the faith or not. This is under God’s standards and not our own.
Colossians 2:13,14 (KJV)
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
If you want to know exactly what Jesus did for us on the cross, know that it is spelled out for us all throughout the Bible, even in the Old and New testaments.
Though repentance is always a possibility for every person before him or her dies, most people will put this off until it is too late.
Paul is a great teacher in the Bible and not only taught the people in Ephesus about repenting of our evil speaking, but also when he wrote a letter to the Colossians.
One thing that was spoken by Paul to the Colossians above is “filthy communication out of your mouth”. Of which also James taught.
Colossians 2:16-18 (KJV)
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
There is nothing wrong with doing good on a day that is evil for the world. Why is this? It is because doing this brings the light of Jesus into the world.
Colossians 2:8 (KJV)
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
As a believer in Christ, we should never let the traditions of this world, including holidays, warp how we feel about God and the things of this world.
Colossians 3:12,13 (KJV)
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
