Welcome To Our Page Of Scripture and Musings From The Last 5 Days
John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
++ Jesus prayed that we would come to "know" God. There is a difference between "knowing God" and "knowing of God". (The power of one little word can make an eternal difference.) Rob K.
Most people don't know what they don't know. (Sadly, The majority of people will not go to heaven) Matt 7:13,14
The point is: "Don't follow the crowd".
Acts 17:18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
++ Apostle Paul's famous sermon in Athens, a city full of idols reveals what everyone needs to hear today. Jesus Christ and the resurrection. Rob K.
James 4:17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
++ Where is our "moral compass" pointing? Who causes the compass to always point north? Why is North always referred to as "up"? If you can answer these questions, then you know the "right thing to do"? Rob K.
John 20:30,31 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
++ Back up and read the context of this chapter. We are more blessed because we have gained our faith from reading about Jesus rather than those who actually "seen" the signs and miracles He performed. Rom 10:17 confirms that today faith comes only from God's Word. There are no need for miracles being performed today. Treat the Word of God with due respect. Rob K.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
++ There is only one way to be "in Christ Jesus". Rom 6:3-4 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. 1 Pet 3:21 Submitting to baptism 'saves us" if it's done in the likeness of Jesus's death, burial and resurrection. If your minister doesn't preach this or you haven't done this, you are lost and without hope in this world per Eph 2:12.
The truth because I love your soul. Rob K.
