璇璇生活的点点滴滴！！

According to His promise in Revelation 3:20, where is Christ right now in relation to you?

Christ said that He would come into your life.

On what authority do you know that God has answered your prayer?

(The trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.)

The Bible promises eternal life"The witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:11-13).

Thank God often that Christ is in your life and that He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5).

You can know on the basis of His promise that Christ lives in you and that you have eternal life from the very moment you invite Him in. He will not deceive you.

An important reminder...

Do not depend on feelings.

The promise of God's Word, the Bible - not our feelings - is our authority.

The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word. This train diagram illustrates the relationship among fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience) (John 14:21).

Fact Faith Feeling The train will run with or without a caboose. However, it would be useless to attempt to pull the train by the caboose. In the same way, as Christians we do not depend on feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and the promises of His Word.

Now that you have received Christ. The moment that you received Christ by faith, as an act of the will, many things happened, including the following:

- Christ came into your life (Revelation 3:20 ; Colossians 1:27).

- Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14).

- You became a child of God (John 1:12).

- You received eternal life (John 5:24).

- You began the great adventure for which God created you (John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:18).

By thanking God, you demonstrate your faith.To enjoy your new life to the fullest...

Suggestions for Christian Growth Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ."The righteous man shall live by faith" (Galatians 3:11). A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life, and to practice the following:

G = Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7).

R = Read God's Word daily (Acts 17:11); begin with the Gospel of John.

O = Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21).

W= Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19; John 15:8).

T = Trust God for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7).

H= Holy Spirit - allow Him to control and empower your daily life and witness (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8).

-----------------------Fellowship in a Good Church-------------------------

God's Word instructs us not to forsake "the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25). Several logs burn brightly together; but put one aside on the cold hearth and the fire goes out. So it is with your relationship with other Christians.If you do not belong to a church, do not wait to be invited. Take the initiative; call the pastor of a nearby church where Christ is honored and His Word is preached. Start this week, and make plans to attend regularly.

-------------------------------Tell somebody--------------------------------

As God's has forgiven your sins and given you eternal life, it is only natural that you'd want to share this with somebody else.God's Word tells us that "whoever confesses Me (Jesus) before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).

This can be as easy as emailing a friend so go ahead and share this with a friend.

1. God Loves You!

The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." The problem is that..............................................................

2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong.

This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.” The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,.....................................

3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me." God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.

4. If you want to accept Christ, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

God has given us His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. God loves us and cares for us. Our response to Him is to love Him and worship Him. Jesus taught us that the greatest command is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength".

We can express our love to God by telling God that we love Him. One way to do this is through worship, through singing and through music. The Bible says "Sing to the Lord". We can praise God for Who He is; we can praise God for what He has done in our lives.

You don't have to have a great voice to sing praises to the Lord. You can focus on God and express your love to Him silently or by singing to God. You can do this in church; you can in addition to church sing or give praises to God when you are by yourself.
