God in the Center
God in the Center
"Not by our views or opinions but by
God's grace and love are what leads the sinner to God's eternal goodness!"
Pastor Jean Marie
By putting God in the center
of our lives, we look at the world in a different light. We look to the love of
God and His goodness to save those who are still sinners and don’t know Him.
Through God's forever gracious love we are to leave our opinions and judgments
behind.
Romans 8:1-4 There is
therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk
according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For
what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by
sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He
condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be
fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the
Spirit.
We are therefore persecuted
with Christ, and our views are forever challenged by those who don’t believe or
who don’t understand the love of God. As I have stated before that we are easy
to judge the world however we hardly will forgive their shortcomings. We worry too much about the things that are of
non-importance than that which is important for the salvation of our
spirits.
Luke 6:37 “Judge not,
and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Jesus came into the world to
fulfill the law, in order, for God's forgiveness to rein. This brought forth
the grace and forgiveness, so God could look upon us as the children He loves
and not be so harsh with His punishments.
The love of God extends to
all of us like the love you have for your children or spouse. Would it be an
easy task for you to cast your children forever in a lake of fire with no way
to reach you? Could you condemn your spouse to eternal damnation? Then think of
what our Father must go through when one of His own creations won’t turn
towards Him and He must bring forth the ultimate punishment upon them. It is
our job as Christians to make sure that those who will are not lost, not to
judge what you believe their sins are but to encourage the love of God. It
doesn't matter what sin you have committed. Jesus helps to clean that out when
you ask Him to walk with you throughout your life! Knowing that Jesus is the
Son of God and believing in Him is what matters. God sent His comforter the Holy Spirit to
help us clean out that sin and straighten out that which is bad, teaching us
right from wrong. Therefore, we must do
as Jesus has commanded, as in,
John 13:34 &35 "A
new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love
one another. By this, all men will know that you are my disciples if you love
one another."
When you put God in the
center of your life, you can overlook all the sins that others do and witness
to those who need it the most, as Christ did. Christ didn’t see the sin but the
person that was hurting on the inside, by looking into the center of their
souls through their eyes. This is, why, the disciples followed Him and loved
Him so much that they gave up their lives to go with Him. No one man in history
showed such love as Jesus did and that is why 2000 years later we can't stop
loving him. For according to...
John 14:6 Jesus said
to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through Me."
Teach them about Jesus, putting
God in the center, in order, to see through the faults of those who need Him.
God is calling us all for the harvest is ready and the workers are few. Praise
God for the internet, because I can spread the word of the Lord in a way that
could not have been done just a few years ago.
