1 | John 8:24- What does this mean to you? | 1 John 4:2 | deep input | 157163 | ||
Hello Brother Glenn, What does Joh 8:24 mean to me? I know that I am a sinner. I know that the world is lost. I understand that through Adam and Eve God could not have the type of relationship that He wanted. I know the only way He could have this was by the shedding of blood. There was nothing that man could do to make this relationship right. I understand that it is not by works but by grace through faith that saves us from His wrath. I know Jesus is that Lamb that shed His blood making it possible for God to have the relationship with the world that He desires. I know Jesus is the only way. Now we both know that there is still His wrath to come. Joh 3:16 says God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son and who so ever believes in him will not parish but have everlasting life. There is also a world that God hates. 1joh 2:15 do not love the world, jas 4:4 friendship with the world is enmity with God. There is world that God loves and a world that God hates. I have been asking God for several years which is which. He has been giving answers has I have been able to understanding. I know I am a child, but I want to grow up. I am seeing very little difference between one of these worlds and modern christianity. Both believe in Christmas, both believe in patriotism, and so on. The Jehovah Witnesses are different from the world and modern day Christianity. The question then becomes, Is the world that modern day christianity is attached to the one that God loves or hates? Is it right to pledge our allegenece to anyone or anything but God? | ||||||

Deep Input, God had a relationship with Adam, but then Adam sinned and became afraid of God, didn't he? When one can see that someone is so much better than they are, its hard to have a close, intimate relationship. So God sent Jesus to bring us His righteousness. Then, Jesus died the most awful death. How could we now not believe that He loved us? He gave us so much. And He was raised from the dead to life again, and so are we if we believe and accept Him as Lord. It makes us able to relate to Holy God knowing and receiving the new spirit He has sent. Now this is personal, as all relationships are. ITs not one group or another, and you will stand or fall on your own faith in Him. Gal 2:16 says we are justified by the faith OF Christ, and not by the works of the law. So I wouldn't worry too much about who is doing wrong out there, but I would seek Him with my whole heart, so that you might find yourself in Him. Be blessed! CBS |
