One of the greatest problems that faces a new christian over nd over a gain:How can I be certain that i am saved? *

The greatest of all of the problems in becoming a christian is coming to understand nd believe God's strange kind of lov *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:20pm
His love is vasty different than any other kind of love we know in human circles.God's lov is in a class all by itself. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:24pm
it is completely unique.But God demonstrates his own lov toward us,in that while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:25pm
that was in romans 5:8 *

Matt5,43,48]you have heard that it was said,You shall love your neighbor and hate your ememy.' *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:31pm
But I say to you,love your enemies,and pray for those who persecute you;in order that yu may be sons of your father *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:36pm
Your Father who is in heaven;for causes His sun to rise on the evil nd the good,nd sends rain on the righteous *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:39pm
and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.For if yu love those who love yu,what reward have you? *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:42pm
Do not even the tax gatherers do the same?And if you greet your brother only,what do you do more than others? *

Here Jesus speaks of the usual way in which we love.If someone is good to us than we love him. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:52pm
If someone treats us badly than we hate him.Now,God's love is entirely different for HE love us in spite of what we do. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:55pm
The real problem that we have in understanding the love of God is the fact that in human relationships we are taught *
celestan 11.01.14 - 02:58pm
we are taught that we must earn a person's love for us.we must make somebody love us by being attractive,or nice,or *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:02pm
Or pretty,or noble,obedient,nd we are fully conviced that if we aren't nice,noble,or obedient,nd we no one wil love us *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:05pm
Unfortunately even some of our parents have taught us this.if we naughty when we were children thy would tell us *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:08pm
Thy could no longer love us.if we were good than we would earn their love.we must come to understand that God doesn't *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:13pm
God doesn't operate that way.He loves us in spite of what we are.He doesn't love us merely if we are nice looking,noble *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:16pm
or kind,or if we go to church.He loves us apart from what we do nd apart from how we look. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:19pm
It is this tremendous fact which is so difficult to accept nd believe.But it is also this tremendous fact that gives us *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:22pm
But it is this tremendous fact that gives us peace and joy once we have accepted it and believe it. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:25pm
For God so loved the world,that he gave his only begotten Son,that whoever believe in him should not perish *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:27pm
Should not perish but have eternal life.John3:16 *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:29pm
There is nothing that God wants more than to have you accept Jesus Christ,who paid for your sin. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:31pm
Believe in Him as your Savior and accept the love which He offers You. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:34pm
And there is no sin greater in all the world than the sin of rejecting God's love and not believing in Jesus Christ. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:37pm
Just remember this little argument,when you pay everything you have for an object you must want it very much. *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:40pm
God gave the life of his only Son.if he has done that much,how can yu ever doubt that he will receive yu if yu com 2 him *
celestan 11.01.14 - 03:42pm
How can you ever doubt that He will receive you if you come to Him and ask for forgiveness. *
