babble bible my beloved!
Love and truth go hand in hand in all walks of life. If you love someone you give! Not get but give. You want to give the truth who is Jesus! If you love your children you will give them Jesus! If you love your relatives you give them Jesus. If you love your friends you give them Jesus. If you love people in general you give them Jesus.
Now, is your pastor or minister in love with you and the congregation? You will know by what he gives!
201. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE GIFT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN UNTO YOU? Each person who is a Christian has been given a gift or gifts of the Holy Spirit for his or her ministry. In one of the parables of Jesus in Luke 12:16-53 verse 48 says,
"BUT HE THAT KNEW NOT, AND DID COMMIT THINGS WORTHY OF STRIPES, SHALL BE BEATEN WITH FEW STRIPES. BUT UNTO WHOMSOEVER MUCH IS GIVEN, OF HIM SHALL BE MUCH REQUIRED: AND TO WHOM MEN HAVE COMMITTED MUCH, OF HIM THEY WILL ASK THE MORE."
Now in this beautiful portion of Holy Scripture we see that if you have been given much then much shall be required of you. If you have been given a great gift then of that great gift you will be required greatly to use it to help others and to use it for your ministry. Not to use it would be a great tradegy and you will lose great rewards in doing so. So we should all use our gifts to the fullest of our ability and thereby glorifying God by winning the lost to the Lord Jesus Christ in the process!
202. DID YOU KNOW THAT BEING A CHRISTIAN IS A "KNOW SO" SITUATION? Yes that is so true indeed my beloved! The Holy Bible states in 1 John 5:11-13,
"AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.
HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; AND HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE.
THESE THINGS HAVE I WRITTEN UNTO YOU THAT BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, AND THAT YE MAY BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD."
Yes, the Holy Bible states here directly that we may know that we have eternal life, not maybe or hope so or probably but "KNOW SO"! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise precious soul!
203. IS THERE ANYWHERE IN THE HOLY BIBLE THAT STATES WHAT GOD'S NAME IS? Yes the Holy Bible surely does. It is found in 1 John 5:20 which states,
"AND WE KNOW THAT THE SON OF GOD IS COME, AND HATH GIVEN US AN UNDERSTANDING, THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM THAT IS TRUE, AND WE ARE IN HIM THAT IS TRUE, EVEN IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS THE TRUE GOD, AND ETERNAL LIFE."
Also in Titus 2:11-14 in the Holy Bible,
"FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION HATH APPEARED TO ALL MEN,
TEACHING US THAT, DENYING UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, WE SHOULD LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GODLY, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD;
LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST;
WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR US, THAT HE MIGHT REDEEM US FROM ALL INIQUITY, AND PURIFY UNTO HIMSELF A PECULIAR PEOPLE, ZEALOUS OF GOOD WORKS."
Here in these five verses of Holy Scripture we see that God has a name and His name is Jesus Christ. Not Allah or Buddha or Jim, Bill, or Robert. The name of God is Jesus Christ!
