The Word Became Flesh

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father full of grace and truth. John 1:14

 Jesus, was there in the beginning. He who came to earth in the flesh existed before anything else (John 1:1). Christ is eternal God. He not only created life, but He is life. People either love the light or they love the darkness. This love controls their actions. I love the light (Christ) and desire to follow Him in all my ways in all my days.

 John was sent as a witness to Christ. The Jewish nation rejected Christ. No one comes to the Father except through Christ. (John 14:6). Anyone who receives Christ will be born again and enter the family of God. Jesus is the source of all life: physical, spiritual and eternal. I desire to reflect the light of Jesus and be a witness of Him and His work in my life to this dark world.

 Christ took on human form and identified with us in every way, but yet, He revealed God's glory in His person, works and words. We are blessed with Christ's unfailing love and faithfulness. It is available to all who believe. We are saved by grace, live by grace and depend on God's grace in all we do. We cannot understand God apart from knowing His Son. I will seek to know Christ better to better understand God the Father through the study of the Bible.

 We have eternal life, fellowship with the Father and our joy is now complete (1 John 1:1-4). Through Christ, every believer receives absolutely everything we need for fulfillment in life.

 God is eternal. All are created by God and God's Word (Christ) is intended for everyone. I am created by God and can rely on Him for daily living. God has always been and will always be. He is dependable; faithful to His promises. Christ is all we need.
"Much as our words reveal to others our hearts and minds, so Jesus Christ is God's Word to reveal His heart and mind to us." -Warren Wiersbe
How I desire to know His heart and mind better!

5 Benefits of Being a Child of God

Image
In her book "Breaking Free", Beth Moore writes about five benefits God intends "to be the daily experience of every child of God." (p. 23) The first benefit is to know God and believe Him . Beth Moore writes that "one of your chief purposes on this planet is to know God intimately and with reverent familiarity. That intimate relationship begins, but was never intended to end, with what we call the 'salvation experience.' So the first question to ask yourself is, Have you received Christ as your personal Savior?" "One of the most beautiful elements of salvation is its simplicity. Christ has already done all the work on the cross. Your response includes four elements: 1) Acknowledge that you are a sinner and that you cannot save yourself. 2) Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and only He can save you. 3) Believe that His Crucifixion was for your personal sins and that His death was on your behalf. 4) Give Him your life and

Fuel Up with the Holy Spirit

 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” John 14:26 Once we decide to get on the road with Jesus, we discover that the Bible is like a road map for our journey; helping us to live in a way that pleases God. If we spend time in the Word everyday, we will grow to be more like Jesus. A car needs gasoline in order to work. In order for you to keep going, you have to fill the tank up. Well, just like our physical bodies need food for energy, and cars need gasoline in order to go, our spiritual bodies need a kind of fuel too. This "fuel" is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us wisdom and energy for life. We know that God created us. We know that Jesus saved us. But you might wonder who the Holy Spirit is. In John 14:16-17 we see that before Jesus was going to die on the cross, He told the disciples that God would send another Helper to help them. This w

A Clamorous Woman

Image
Photo Credit A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing. For she sits at the door of her house. . . To call to those who pass by. . . "Whoever is simple, let him turn it here"; And as for him who lacks understanding, She says to him, "Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant." But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell. -Proverbs 9:13-18 (NKJV) A foolish woman is clamorous. To be clamorous is to murmur, growl, roar, rage, to be troubled, in an uproar, in a stir, a commotion, boisterous, turbulent, raging. Here is a big clue for us. Every one of these definitions describes anything but a meek and quiet spirit. Usually if we women make an uproar on the outside, it's because there's an uproar on the inside. A clamorous woman lures other people into her whirlpool - or maybe a better word is cesspool. I know that the first level of application of
