Marvelous Grace

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do good works." Titus 2:11-14

6 Things Everyone Needs To Know

#1 If you are a Christian the Spirit of God lives in you.
#2 If the Spirit of God lives in you, your desire will be to please God.
#3 If you desire to please God, you will not continually use His name in a vulgar or thoughtless way.
#4 If you continually use the name of God in a vulgar or thoughtless way, then #1 does not apply to you.
#5 If #1 does not apply to you, call out to God in repentance.
#6 If you call out to God in repentance and trust in Him alone, he will rescue you from your sin.

WHEN He rescues you from your sin, read Psalm 119 and make it your prayer.

Great Commandments

I heard a pastor say that if you love God and love others you would not continually lie, steal, cheat, covet, commit adultery, take the Lord's name in vain, dishonor your parents, and fail to remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. If that is true then I guess these really ARE the two greatest commandments.

Matthew 22:37-40
37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
