1 | WHY IS THE BLOOD THE PRICE? | Rom 5:6 | Cynthia | 101530 | ||
God's Answer To The Problem of Sin Romans 5:6-10 God’s provision for human sin is the blood that Jesus Christ shed on Calvary’s Cross. When He was crucified, Christ bore the penalty for all sin of all mankind, and all who look to the Cross and trust Jesus as their Savior will escape the wrath of God. However, God also gave us a provision to deal with the principle of sin that lives within every person because of the fall of Adam and Eve: the Holy Spirit. He lives within each believer to empower us to overcome temptation and the power of sin. "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life" (Romans 5:10). How refreshing and encouraging it is to know that, while Jesus’ death paid for our sin, we are just as powerfully saved day to day through His resurrected life. Colossians 3:1-10 explains how we are new creations set apart by God for holiness. We should always be careful never to lower the standard of holiness to which the Lord calls us. While we should be thankful for Jesus’ sacrifice, we should celebrate His very life living on the inside of us. He condescends to lovingly live His life through believers to enable us to live victoriously in these human bodies. It would be impossible without Him. |

2 | I'm all better now:-) | Deut 5:16 | Cynthia | 48032 | ||
All fellow forum members, we need to stop encouraging this girl who is clearly doing what she wants to do. SHE IS NOT OF AGE TO BE ON THIS FORUM. The more we respond to her, the more she replies. She is not getting it! It is clear that she does not respect authority and God, although she says she loves God. She is probably just "playing" us anyway, claiming to be 13. And teengurl4christ, if you are reading this, and I'm quite sure that are, heed to the excellent and wise advise that you've been given and listen. If you are being this insolent now, no telling how you going to be when you're an adult in a more precarious situation. Scripture clearly states, "If you love me, follow my commandments". End of Story! | ||||||
3 | Is it just I don't wantto know the truth | Deut 5:16 | Cynthia | 47743 | ||
Oh sweetie, you sound so hurt it is breaking my heart. I've been reading all your previous posts and the various answers you've received and they were most encouraging. I see that you are very, very mature in your faith and believe me that pleases God tremendously. If I can, may I offer you so comfort? First and foremost (I know others have said this, but it is the absolute, 100 percent truth) you must obey your mother and father, point-blank, no getting around it! Now as you know, one of the commandments is to honor and obey our parents, so there shouldn't be any confusion there. And you're so wise my little one to know that this is Satan, the enemy, at work here. He wants you to be in this state of unsureness. He wants you to be sad at heart and confused as to whether or not you're sinning against God. He is having a field day, because he knows that he can use this very same scenario on you AGAIN when you're 15, 20, 25, 30 and so forth. He sees the chaos he's putting between you and your parents. Don't fall prey to it sweetie. Listen to that inner voice, it is the Holy Spirit speaking to you, no question about it. Let this eposide pass, because this too shall pass (and it will, my little one). By you loving Our Father as you do, you know what it is the He wants for our lives. He does not want us to be crying up in our bedrooms over some boy that, beleive and trust me, is not beating himself in the head such as you are doing. Trust God, little one, and He will lead you correctly. I know it hurts now, I can only say that time will heal this wound (because really it's not that big of an issue - I mean regarding the boy situation). There will be other trails in your life and once you've perservered through this one, you will definitely know how to conquer the next. STOP being confused about what you already know. STOP crying and feeling broken-hearted about this situation. The bottom line is that you wanted to know if you were sinning against God by not obeying your parents. The answer to your question is YES you were. Because you were not obeying their wishes. Listen, don't feel bad to the point of utter confusion. You know exactly what to do. Ask God for forgiveness and leave it alone. Stop wallowing in this girlfriend. We all feel your pain, so stop giving the enemny fuel for his fire. And don't worry about leading this particular boy to Christ, if it's truly in his heart, God will know it and lead him there. Don't take on too much that you can not possible handle at such a tender age. Store up your knowledge and use it to yours and God's advantage when you've grown stronger in Christ and gain even more knowledge. So my little one, stay firm and steadfast and fullfil all what God has in store for you. I love you and I'll pray for you. Your Sister in Christ, Cynthia |

4 | A Study of John's Gospel. | John 1:1 | Cynthia | 39793 | ||
Hi Ranibow Maker, The Gospel of John is my favorite as well. While reading it, it increased my faith tremendously. I still find great comfort in it as I read it almost daily. I would love to join you in a verse by verse study. Starting with John 1:1, when it says 1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2:He was with God in the beginning. I take these two verses to mean that it's referring to Jesus. 4:The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. What is your take on this? God Bless Sister in Christ |
