Hi Mommapbs, I appreciated your post here. I have had a good time this morning in God's word, I feel, because of your Scripture references of Romans,1 Peter and Colossians. Colossians 1:22, "yet He has now reconciled you in *His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before (Him) holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- 1 Peter 2:1, "Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hyposcrisy and envy and all slander, 2 like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, 3 if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. 4 And coming to *Him as to a living stone, rejected by men, but choice and precious in the sight of (God), 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood,..." Romans 10:12, "for 'Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved,' 14 How then shall they call upon *Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in (Him) whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" Colossians 1:28, "And we proclaim *Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in (Christ)." The parentheses and stars are mine for comparison and the verses are as I see them. From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray - I realize that this is very subjective but . . . from these Scriptures, what does God want you to focus on here about what He says about Himself and what He says about who you are? Are there any action steps that you believe God is calling you to do as a result of these verses? I'd be interested to read your responses to these questions. Blessings, mommapbs |

Hi Mommapbs, I don't know if I will answer your questions per se, but I offer these further thoughts by way of Scripture comparisons. 1) I believe that God should be glorified. Romans 15:7, "to the glory of God" 1 Peter 4:11, "...so that in all things God may be glorified." Romans 15:9, "... to glorify God/." 1 Peter 4:13, "revelation of His/ glory." Romans 15:11, "Praise the **Lord... praise *Him." 1 Peter 4:14, NKJ, "If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of (God) rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part **He is glorified... but let him glorify *God..." 2) I believe that we are fellow workers and should walk in (Him). Colossians 4:2, "Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God may open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of (Christ) for which I have also been imprisoned; in order that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak." I believe that we should "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may continually fulfill it." Colossians 4:17. 3) Fellow workers: Colossians 4:11, "fellow workers for the kingdom of **God." Romans 16:9, "our fellow workers in **Christ..." Romans 8:17, "fellow heirs with **Christ..." Ephesians 3:9, "and to make all know what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in **God who created all things; 10 in order that the manifold wisdom of *God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places." That is how I see verse 9; manuscripts differ in number of nouns. Romans 1:25, "For they exchanged the truth of **God for a lie, and worshiped the creature rather than the *Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:2, "if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of **God's grace which was given to me for you; 3 that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. 4 And by referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of *Christ,..." John 3:11, NKJ, "Most assuredly, I say to you, **We speak what *We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" The **,*, ( ), and slash are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

"The **,*,() and slash are mine for comparisons?" ..... Comparisons to what, Ray? How is anyone on this Forum supposed to be able to interpret your private squiggles? Is it simply impossible for you to reproduce a copyrighted Bible text exactly as it is printed in the copyrighted source? If the Lockman Foundation has hired you to edit their text of the NASB, it's certainly news to me. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I take it you saw no similarity of words or spiritual thoughts in my comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
