🕆 1 Timothy 6:11-12 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.🕆 Let the Holy Spirit guide you this week according to these 2 verses from the bible, Let God’s Peace and Grace be with you (To The Reader). Praise God always. Amen.,. 🕆🙏🙌

Jesus was born incarnate to a young Jewish virgin, lived a sin free life, was illegally persecuted and then crucified on a cross on Calvary. He arose three days later defeating death and descended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God.. He was raised in a family who didn't believe in His divinity. He had six half-brothers and two or three sisters who didn't believe in His divinity until after His resurrection. What gets me is demons knew His divinity but men and women of His time didn't. Strange. I presume Mary and Joseph knew His divinity. But in Luke 2:49-50 [NKJV] “He said to them, [His earthly parents] “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” Did they not understand Jesus' divinity? This makes me wonder. Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry. Jesus preformed 14-15 miracles (they were called signs) in the three years or so of His ministry on earth. Jesus' miracles were followed by Jesus forgiving the individuals of their sins and commanded they sin no more. Many of Jesus' miracles were not identified. No other religious leader forgave mankind of their sins. Our sins separate us from God, and there’s nothing we can do to make things right. So, we need someone to save us from our sins and make us acceptable to God. That someone is Jesus Christ. 'Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given no other Name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 GNV) That’s why God sent Jesus to earth. Jesus’ death on the cross paid for every wrong we’ve ever commented or will do. Jesus made it possible for us to have a relationship with God the Father. Therefore by the deeds of the law [Ten Commandments) no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law our sins are recognized not saved. I have confessed my sins and iniquities before Jesus Christ, at the foot of the cross, daily. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, to His disciples that: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” I will not have to stand before the Great White Throne of God, my sins have been cleansed by Jesus Christ. As I said earlier: I am a Christ-follower and live in the Kingdom of God on earth in Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, and Leader and by the grace and mercy of God. I Love Jesus Christ despite the fact that I'm human and I fail Him daily; I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He was crucified on the cross where He died for my sins, and that He rose again on the 3rd day to give me a way through salvation and sanctification. He loves me dearly and forgives my sins. His Word says that if I deny Him before men, He will deny me before His Father. I am a Christ-follower and live in the Kingdom of God on earth in Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, and Leader and the grace and mercy of God. God bless.
