Do Things for God Because You Love Him: Do Not Do Things to Please Men

-

1 Pedro 4:1-5 Cómo quiere Dios que vivamos

 Por tanto, puesto que Cristo ha padecido en la carne, armaos también vosotros con el mismo propósito, pues quien ha padecido en la carne ha terminado con el pecado, para vivir el tiempo que le queda en la carne, no ya para las pasiones humanas, sino para la voluntad de Dios.  Porque el tiempo ya pasado os es suficiente para haber hecho lo que agrada a los gentiles, habiendo andado en  sensualidad, lujurias, borracheras, orgías, embriagueces y abominables idolatrías.

Y en todo esto, se sorprenden de que no corráis con ellos en el mismo desenfreno de disolución, y os ultrajan;   pero ellos darán cuenta a aquel que está preparado para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.  Porque con este fin fue predicado el evangelio aun a los muertos, para que aunque sean juzgados en la carne como hombres, vivan en el espíritu conforme a la voluntad de Dios.


Living for God
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. 1Peter 4:1-5 KJV

God is Love 1John 4:16

David and Goliath In the Mist

1 Samuel 17 Goliath’s Challenge Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle and were assembled at Socoh, which belongs to Judah; and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim. Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together and they camped in the Valley of Elah, and assembled in battle formation to meet the Philistines. The Philistines were standing on the mountain on one side and Israel was standing on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them. Then a champion came out from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head, and wore a coat of scale-armor (overlapping metal plates) which weighed 5,000 shekels of bronze. He had bronze shin protectors on his legs and a bronze javelin hung between his shoulders. The [wooden] shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; the blade-head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iro

The Love of God in Jesus Christ

God’s Love Shown Through Jesus Christ John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. who loved me and gave himself for me. Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, evenwhen we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— 1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so lov

Destilad, oh cielos, desde lo alto, y derramen justicia las nubes;  ábrase la tierra y dé fruto la salvación,  y brote la justicia con ella.  Yo, el SEÑOR, todo lo he creado.  ¡Ay del que contiende con su Hacedor, el tiesto entre los tiestos de tierra!  ¿Dirá el barro al alfarero: "Qué haces"?  ¿O tu obra dirá: "El no tiene manos"? Isaías 45:8-9 (LBLA) “ You heavens above, rain down my righteousness;   let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide,  let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the LORD, have created it.   “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,  those who are nothing but potsherds  among the potsherds on the ground.   Does the clay say to the potter,  What are you making?’  Does your work say,  ‘The potter has no hands’? Isaiah 45:8-9 NIV God is Love 1John 4:16

BE BLESS BY YOUR CREATOR GOD "I AM"

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,  what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?  You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings  and crowned him with glory and honor.  You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:  all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,  the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.  O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalms 8:1-9 NIV MAY THE LORD JESUS' BE WITH YOU TODAY FOR EVER IN YOUR HEART! "GOD IS LOVE   1 JOHN 4:16"

2012 - NO ONE KNOWS THE END OF TIME

-
Dear Beloved: Children of God (Please view the video at the end) Jesus Christ said "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father (Mark 13:31-32 NIV)". These are the promise words of God for us: "I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever th
