NASB | 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins [the atoning sacrifice that holds back the wrath of God that would otherwise be directed at us because of our sinful nature--our worldliness, our lifestyle]; and not for ours alone, but also for [the sins of all believers throughout] the whole world. |
Subject: How do we preach the Gospel? |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, In some was I agree with you to. But the churches of today are different. There are many people that are saved outside of church. But if you look at churches today, what brings them in is not fellowship or the love of God ,its, meals and entertainment and big screen T.Vs.The Bible states that no man comes to the Father except throu the son, no man comes to the son except he be drawn by the spirit, no man is drawn by the spirit unless hes preached to and no man preaches unless hes called.I know what your talking about, its a good thought but we hafe to face reality, in todays world we are sourounded by aposticy inside and outside the church. So we hafe to do the best we can. And sometimes it takes a strainger to get a family member into church, what brings me to this thought is Revelations 3:14I wished that everything would be easy but it isnt. Whats it going to take? Ministers to start takeing stock of themselves and start running the church like the Bible tells us to. Just my thoughts after a long hard battle over the years and am still fighting. DL5 |
