It is not for us !

It's Not for Us! 
 
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” (John 8:11)

This passage has been quoted over and over again whenever people are in the mood to judge or be judged by others !. If you have never sin, you can cast the first stone.

The person of interest is of course someone that society knows is there but will not want to be associated with. She was a prostitute...someone who sells her soul to earn a living. To a certain extend all of the have go so far in our own interest or with the need to make ends meet, we neglect all other parts of our lives...from our marriages, to our children, to our parents, and most important of all God !

The Bible tells us in Zechariah 3, and in Revelation 12, the Devil is the master of lies and the accuser of people. He stands before God every minute telling God how we have failed Him and maybe just like Jonah, satan tells God, we are all deserving of nothing but God's judgment and condemnation.

In John 8, who could judge this prostitute, in life, who could judge and condemn us ? The answer is NO ONE ! not even the devil because by the Blood of Christ, the devil is a condemned being and destined for eternity in hell. Your friends and family, cannot condemn you eventhough they try...but they can't.

Only one could - His name is Jesus Christ. He is supreme..He is God ! He is the banner the standard of all life ! He could have judged that person...but did He ?..HE DID NOT ! Instead the rule of love conquers...He forgave her and gave her ONE more chance this time with His acceptance to go forward !

What a powerful revelation ! God could and by His Holy right to judge and condemn us for eternity. But He did not. He chose to forgive you, give you His Son as His assuarance and His Spirit as the Power to overcome !

Accept His gift of love and forgiveness today. He is giving you the opportunity now to believe in His gift of Salvation...ie..to accept Jesus Christ into Your life. Now how can you do that ?

1. Ask Him into your life.

2. Pray this prayer out loud.

Dear Heavenly Father. I come to You just as I am. Forgive me and take away all my sins. I ask for Jesus Christ to come into my life and help me to live this life. Live this life for You and your purpose in me. I surrender to you and receive Your love for me. You are my Lord and my God forever more. In Jesus' name I pray....Amen

3. If you prayed this prayer, would you like to leave a comment or e-mail me edkoh1976@gmail.com as a witness to say you did this.

4. Next step, is to find a good Church to be part of.

Why Hate what God Loves ?

WHY HATE WHAT GOD'S LOVES?


For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

When I first turn my life to Jesus, I grew up together with others in a Church and the teachings from the Bible. Sometimes, when people preach out of the Word and not from the Word, they tend to use scriptures to justify their conservatism or hang-ups even. This has produced Christians that are not like Christ...no longer accepting of people but judgmental, critical, arrogant believers that often thing by just telling people alot of words, would convince someone of their own faith.

In my on experience of being well meaning soul-winner, I've done all that. Talk as long as possible hoping to break into the toughness of the hearer's stubborness. I've even laid hands on people, and commanded heaven to act as I speak...Instead of winning people to Christ, it drives people away. Sometimes, God moves powerfully...but its never for my sake but its because God loves the hearer and wants to meet the needs. So humbling.

Unbelievers don't want to come to Christ because they think, it will be a restriction of their lifestyle as they think Christians are always against this or that. or they think they cannot honor their parents and the list goes on and on. Go figure ! Misrepresentation of the true nature of Christ !

How to win a soul then ? Stop hating the world...as there's nothing terribly wrong or evil that could cos God to fall off His throne in fits of anxiety !. If God would act like us, He would have placed a legion of angels to protect the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...heck ! He would have created eden, but placed man outside of it..because it was possible for man to do wrong ! But He did not. Even after sinned, God threw man out of Eden, but God never gave up on mankind. He was still in contact with Adam...but only not in person.

Christians must do life ! Love covers a multitude of sins right...So learn to listen more than talk. Who knows when you finally listen...the unbeliever may present to you the keys to unlock their hearts. Best of all, he gained your trust because you cared enough to give him your time to listen.

Hate sin yes...hate evil yes...but Love the World enough to want to redeem that which is precious...LIVES ! but don't you think, there's so much in the World, or what we called Common Grace of General Grace that the influence of God is in it ?...

Love the World..without being shaken !

YEAH ! lets Love God More, Love People More and Love Life More !

In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of Man

  What does it mean that Jesus was the light of man? I asked God yesterday (21/1/21).  There is only 2 points to interpret Scripture as fou...
