Bible Question:
Actually, I've been praying and the people who told me to tell the truth in love are praying. Sorry, I left out that detail... :( JumpingBum@msn.com How can I walk closer to him? I know you don't mean literally, but I live in Colorado Springs and he lives in Tennessee Using Internet Messaging and emailing and phone calls and regular letters we're in VERY regular communication but I feel like I'm walking on eggshells ALL the time.... Blessings, Tania L. Moore |
Bible Answer: Hi, Tania L. Moore! I think that Doc was referring to God... as we get closer to God He comes closer to us... We must constantly be alert: studying Scripture, living Scripture, living a prayerful life! We cannot convince another person to change his/her mind about God--Jesus Himself when He offered His Body and Blood and nearly all of His followers left Him, He did not scare them into submission nor did He beg them to stay (John 6:50-69)... It is a wonderful labor, bringing others to Christ... but it is also a hard and slow labor... we must pray constantly to the Holy Spirit to enlighten us so that we may exercise all of our abilities to the task at hand... patience, love and lots and lots of understanding is required to aide others, specially when they live a doctrine that is contrary to Christ's... Share the Scriptures with your cousin... demonstrate through your loving care that Christ is the Only Way... show your cousin that only in Him (Christ) are we truly free and complete... do not argue for arguement sake... always drop a Scripture passage or two where you can demonstrate that God Loves all of us and He wishes that all be saved! There are Scriptures that you can text to your cousin that demonstrates that Jesus died for sinners (all sinners) and that there's no sin too great that God would not forgive--with the exception of rejecting God! I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless! Angel |
