Good morning! How are we faithing? Taking the whole council of God in the Bible is a very important principle to grasp. Many a verse has been used for the benefit of the user and not for the glory of God. We've seen people fall from grace many times. Are they lost for those infractions? If I or you do not adhere 100% of the time do we loose our salvation? These are questions I hear a lot. People walk around on egg shells afraid that if they goof up God will turn his back on us. Nothing is furthest from the truth. We are under grace and that grace is based on genuine love. Genuine love shows its self off by being genuine. We don't hesitate to do for our loved ones and God does the same for us and ever bigger. His love doesn't wane just because we goofed up. You and I are gonna make mistakes. We are gonna sin from time to time. Genuine love looks to the person and not the mistake and realizes and allows the benefit of a doubt. We need to help and not hinder fellow believers who may not be at a level of maturity in Christ that standing strong is difficult. Never are we to be holier than thou or even consider such a position and if you realize at some point you are comparing yourself to others, time to repent and take stock of your walk....
Gal 6:1-2
Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Rom 6:12-17
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
Remember the children...remember our emergency workers...
Heavenly Father,
