Good morning. It is a
trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. Jesus was born to
die. He was our Passover lamb. God turned Paul completely around – if He did
that for Paul, He will do it for us. The "best of us" without God is
not as good as the "worst of us" with God. And yet for this reason I
found mercy, in order that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might
demonstrate His perfect patience, as an example for those who would believe in
Him for eternal life. So if you know someone who is really doing things not
favorable to God, there is always the good possibility that person will someday
come to God and even bring many people to God. Of course it may be really hard
to put up with that person until that person does come to God. Now to the King
eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and
ever. Amen. That is the way we should all feel because of what God has done for
us. This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the
prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may fight the good
fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and
suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Sometimes fights are not good
fights – but this one is. If you don't listen to your conscience, it will no
longer be "good". It will no longer let you know when you are doing
wrong because you don't listen. The end result will be a shipwreck with no
survivors. Father thank You that the reader stands firm in his/her faith. He/she
fulfills all You have planned for him/her.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
