Jesus is calling for a first century heart in Him to find the true worth of self and others !

 To get to this heart believers need to led the way for the rest of the world so in God's power and strength we can lift the world out of the failed, me first spending that the Humanist religion's ego spending that was to bring the new world order to utopia .

Proverbs 28

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Jesus tells us that we must not place our faith in any thing other that Him and any property already belongs to the Father who spoke it all into existence !

Matthew 6

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Mark 12

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Jesus also told us that if we have a little we should share with our neighbor and how we do so is the fruit of our lives that separates the sheep of His from the goats that are not !

 Matthew 6

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

How far from this have even the true sheep have stray ? In Him repent from the things that own you and use His resources to reach the ignorant world that needs the touch of Jesus from our hands !

 In a Islamic review of " Jesus will Return by Harun Yahya "  I came to the following view of their spin on Jesus(pbuh) .

 They claim that Jesus(pbuh) repented to Allah and this Jewish born Jesus is one of the Muslins . So their Jesus sinned and repented of that Sin . That is not my Jesus the Lord of my life He is God ! For a summery, Islam's (Jesus/Pbuh) is not God or part of the godhead and he did not die on the cross nor was raised from the dead on Easter morning and he is not the son of God . They also claim he will be sent down from Heaven where he is now waiting since the time Allah (not God ) took ( risen ) him up . Part of his mission in his return " when fully grown " is to led Islam in a war to Kill God's chosen children of Abram the Jews and the Children of God, those given to Jesus . The killing will continue until every person not a Muslim is removed from the face of the Earth . When their Jesus (pbuh) returns , Allah will let him ( pbuh) die then raise him up . This is a religion that is at total odds with the Christ of the Bible and when looked at with understanding given to those who trust the Word of God see it as antichrist . They are influenced by Satan and his lies and they are required to lie to Christians and Jews who are known as disbelievers in order to honor the will of Allah . They use killing to reach the goals set for them by this religion .  This is my understanding from the material I read and if my friends want to read this material message me and I will return a short but detailed look at it . With your own eyes you can decide for your self . I will not publish their writing on this blog with out permission and if they do not agree with what I understand to be true I will listen to them .

 By the title on this post " Why Choice Makes us Created in God's Image? " it all boils down to the thought  If God forced us to love Him it would make Him a fraud and a lie since that love under His control would not be a genuine Love as he loves us and He would not have created us in His image including Free Will. He claimed  in His Holy Word that we were created in their Image this covers mind, body and spirit - Father , Son and Holy Spirit . By His free will His true and loving character is shown in His creating and growing us into the Spiritual image of His unique son Jesus the Christ who came to pay our Sin debt completely . This free gift can only be received by free choice !

 You may say how can a loving God create people who could make the wrong choice and go to a hell when He could have made people unable to sin ?  Why have a tree that if people ate of they could fall away from God and lose the tree of life ? He gives us the privilege of choice to reject Him and His everlasting love ! He offers the cure for your illness ( Sin) and if you will receive it your dead spirit is raised first and later your dead body will be raised form physical death .

Romans 5

Here is a good exchange that shares my understanding . Please read and tell me your understanding on this .

 Why did the Bible spend so much time speaking of our modern atheist way back some thousands of years ago ? His Holy Word is telling us they ( unbelievers ) willingly are ignorant of the things of God shared in the Word of God ! I can not get so many passages out of my head like these shown below or in "the Evolution of a fool" that I shared a little time back . At the end of these words from Romans 1 is my link . Wise up by trusting God and His Word that leads you to His son Christ Jesus !

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts and they willingly are ignorant !

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

May God bless the use of 2 Peter 3 from His inspired Holy Word !

A farmer and his farmhand went duck hunting. The farmer said to his friend, “You’re always talking about fighting with the devil. I’m not a Christian, and I never have to fight with the devil.” The farmhand answered, “Boss, if you and I shot two ducks, one was wounded and one was dead, which one would you go after first?” He said, “Well, I guess the wounded duck.” He said, “That’s right. The devil knows you’re a dead duck.” If the devil doesn’t bother you, it’s because he doesn’t have to bother you since you and he are traveling in the same direction. If you turned around, you’d have a collision with him. Right now, you are in collusion with him.

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Romans 8:16

Are you a child of God? Then, praise Him that He has given you the power over Satan and placed you on the pathway to see Him face to face!
If you think all of the people God created are God's children your wrong ! As Pastor Rogers tells us spiders and snakes and fleas are part of His creation but He is not their father but their creator . You nust be born by the new birth to become His children !

Have a great week !
