Sin and Grace

-

What is Sin?
The quality of sin is an act against the grace of God. It emphsizes that sin is never an individual act, but it is also and always a soical matter.

Grace is the expression of God's will to be with and for humankind in a community in which human is both for God and for his neighbor. 

He who love God cannot hate his neighbor; and he who hates his neighbor cannot love God 1John 2,3. 

Sin is the rejection of this gracious divine will to the community, therefore, it is not an individualistic act.

Do we love God? Do we Love our neighbors who are different from you?  The  answers should always be Yes!  1John 4:16 God is Love

I pray that you will be prepare for the 2nd coming of Jesus?     16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV) God is Love 1John 4:16 and Jesus Christ is Lord of Heaven and on Earth.

Prayers for Around The World Jesus Christ Prayed for His Disciples

1 WHEN JESUS had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honor and magnify You. 2 [Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify Me along with Yourself and restore Me to such majesty and honor in Your presence as I had with You before the world existed. 6 I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people whom You have gi...

Forgive All Our Sins Against You God

Prayer: God Forgive us for all our Sins Against You. In Jesus name! Revelation 6  (NIV)The Seals  The Angel of Death 1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. 3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword. 5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and s...

Use Me As An Instrument of Peace

-
Image
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury , pardon ; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy . O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console ; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned ; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen God is Love 1John 4:16

Encouragement For The Followers of Jesus the Christ

Sending blessings and encouragement for Christ followers in : United States, Ukraine, Germany, India, Panama, Romania, Austria, Canada, China, Turkey,Ukraine, France, Philippines, Germany, India, Romania, South Africa, Brussels and Switzerland   In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. (2 Timothy 4:1-8 NIV)

LOOK UP TO GOD!

Jesus Foretells the Future Luke 21:5-38 5 Some of his disciples began talking about the majestic stonework of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said, 6 “The time is coming when all these things will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” 8 He replied, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and saying, ‘The time has come!’ But don’t believe them. 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won’t follow immediately.” 10 Then he added, “Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. 12 “But b...

Losing Your Freedom But With Christ Jesus There is Freedom

Acts 13:38-39(#2 of 12 Bible Verses about Freedom) 38 “Therefore, my brothers and sisters, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. God’s Will be Done in Heaven and on Earth. Jesus is Lord of Heaven and on Earth. The new documentary “Shadows of Liberty” had its U.S. premiere last night at the National Conference for Media Reform in Denver. Using individual cases of journalists whose attempts to tell their stories have been muzzled by corporations and the government, the film shows how a corporate-controlled media can silence the truth about issues ranging from war to labor practices. In one instance, CBS refused to re-air an investigation by the prize-winning journalist Roberta Baskin on Nike’s use of sweatshop labor in Vietnam. To watch the entire weekday independent news hour, read the transcript, d...

Big Mistake to Come Against The Children of God

David and Goliath  Never pick a flight with the Children of God,  this is what the Lord Almighty says: After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye —   I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Zechariah 2:8-9    David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.( 1 Samuel 17:45) Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.      He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.      No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s see...
