Good Evening Beloved,
Is this blog just for me? That is what is looks like... No one ever comments on here.. So I guess I am writing to myself, again. ( sigh ) Well, I finished the book of Philippians today... but before I go on to Colossians I want to write about Chapter 3 in Philippians.
Paul says he never gets tired of telling you to "be glad in the Lord ". ( KJV says to " rejoice in the Lord") He also says to watch our for wicked men ( evil workers) Also says , what makes us children of God is worshiping Him with our spirits. That is the true " circumcision" IN KJV Deuteronomy 30:6 " And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul , that thou mayest live."
Paul then goes on to tell you about himself and how he was a Jews Jew. From the tribe of Benjamin and a Pharisee. How he obeyed all the laws down to the last point... How he persecuted the church. How all of that was worthless compared to the priceless gain of following Christ Jesus our Lord. How he counts following Christ worth it all. He says whatever it takes to follow the one who is alive from the dead. He tells you he is not perfect but that Christ Jesus is... He tells us to forget the past and look forward to what is ahead. To get to the end of the race and receive the prize.
Your future is at stake here...... ETERNITY is at stake........ Not everyone who walks along the Christian road is friend of the cross. They too have their eternity at stake.... Tell everyone you know that our Savior , the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back soon and when He does those that are believers in Him will receive a new body... a glorious body, just like Christ..
I don't know about you but I sure am looking forward to the soon return of Jesus Christ.. I just wanna go home.... Just remember: Smile: when you do you are the most beautiful you can be... With all the love of Christ Jesus . vickie
