Growing Closer To Jesus Daily
Jesus is our example of being loving and kind to everyone He came across. He even taught this concept to us when he said, “and as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
The best part about Christmas is not about presents, but to think about Jesus and to give to others. Doing this brings the greatest joy of all.
Because the Bible is the source of truth, let us understand together the truth of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.
It is clear that our faith without doing God’s works in our lives is not faith at all. When our desires matter more than others, then God does not really matter in our life also.
Our own works, no matter how good they seem, do more harm than not. This is why a desire to be led by the Spirit of God, and not ourselves, is so important.
Luke 6:46-47 (KJV)
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Now that we have defined what a true Christian is, I would like you to think to yourself if you are living a life of a Christian.
When we love the Lord Jesus, all of these things become a part of our lives. As we give our lives to Christ, He is able to transform is.
We are incapable of loving as Christ does, but with Him in our lives, we gain the true capacity to love one another as He does.
It is better to pray and love on those that are mean to us, then have God’s wrath be upon us also. Jesus said, “bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.”
Luke 6:26-28 (KJV)
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

Make a decision to believe in and learn of the Lord God who saves. It would be very unwise of you to live out your entire life, having lived against the words of God.
Surely, there is much rejoicing for those that die in the Lord. So many people have suffered for such a good cause, though it is hard to bear and witness.
As you watched people go before the Lord, on bended knee, they would begin to proclaim all the good things they had done and why they should out weight the negative things.
Both Jesus and the Bible are called the “Word of God”. You cannot even have one without the other. It would be incomplete.
Being led by God is much different than being led by your own self and hoping or thinking you are saved.
The greatest joy we can have in our lives is through the love of Jesus. His love changes us to become men and women of valor.
Thank the Lord for caring so deeply for your life. Without even thinking about it, God helps us get back on His path of righteousness.
Worshipping idols includes, spending our time and effort into having the luxuries in life through money, spending most of our time on our cell phones or watching or playing games on TV.
Do your favorite things have God in the mix? Is your favorite book, the Bible or other books? This life we are leading can either go two directions.
It is an honor to serve my God, my King. I trust in His goodness to save me from my foes. When I speak through the Holy Spirit nothing can pierce me for God is with me.
How blessed is the person who seeks after the Lord for they shall be filled. They shall be engulfed with the Holy Spirit.
You may have been outside of the flock of Jesus but there still is hope. Repent, this day. Get down on your knees and pray to God with all your heart.
Thank You Lord for showing us such great kindness. It’s your love that awakens us to good towards others. There is no end to your love. You are true to your Word.
