Choose Life

Choose Life

I have set before you life and death; ...Therefore choose life.

Deuteronomy 30:19

"If God were to remove all evil from our world, it would mean that the essence of "humanness" would be destroyed. We would become robots. " - Billy Graham

What does he mean by this?

If God eliminated evil by programming us to perform only good acts, we would lose this distinguishing mark--the ability to make choices. We would not longer be free moral agents. We would be reduced to the status of robots.

Let's take this a step further. Robot do not love. God created us with the capacity to love. Love is based upon one's right to choose to love. We cannot force others to love us. We can make them serve us or obey us. But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.

Give the choice, we would rather be responsible for our actions than be a robot without responsibility! Are you using your ability to make decisions wisely--and using it for God?

The Greatest is Love

" But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us. " Ephesians 2:4 What makes love so amazing? For starters, it is what motivated the Father to send His only Son to die for us. Without love, there would have been no redemption. Not only would we be without love, but without the redemption that was precipitated by love, there would also be no faith, and no hope. You see, nothing else matters, without love. It is foundational for every other good thing in our lives. PRAYER FOR THE DAY Our Father in Heaven, Today many people forgot how to love another and today it is easy to criticize those close to me; but Lord, give me your unreserved love so that they may know how deeply I appreciate them through God's love. We grateful that our Father show His love toward world. In Jesus Christ's name amen! Thank you for your time to read this message and hope to open your heart and mind to understand what is the greatest is love. Have a blessing day!

Transformation

What does the Bible say about Transformation?  I found a good verse that defined of Transformation. "Change or renewal from a life that no longer conforms to the ways of the world to one that pleases God" (Romans 12:2). How do we know that a person who is transformed from Darkness to Light? The evidence of transformation within us is seen in the way we increasingly contemplate the identicalness and glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). if your body is controlled by the Spirit of God lives in you, then you are controlled NOT by the sinful nature. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). How can we be considered as children of God? We must be led by the Spirit of God. And it is through the power of God's Spirit that Jesus Christ lives within us. For instance of Transformed life mirrors the attitude of the apostle Paul: " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live , but Christ lives in me. The life I...

Children of Light

"You, brethren, are not in darkness...You are all sons of light." 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 The Born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful. His eyes have been opened to spiritual truth. Jesus said that one of the reason He had come to earth was to preach "recovery of sight to the blind" (Luke 4:18). By nature we are all spiritually blind because of sin. But the Spirit of God helps us see our sin and our helplessness and show us God's redeeming grace in Christ. The Spirit reveals the truth of Jesus declaration: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life" (John 8:12). We are no longer in the dark-we know where we came from, we know why we are here, and we know where we are going. In the midst of a world living in spiritual darkness, walk as a child of the light!
