STEEMCHURCH VENEZUELA - SAVE YOURSELF FOR GOD
To be forgiven and saved by God is the greatest gift in the world. Jesus said:
Mark 8:36
36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his soul?
Today we need a lot of wisdom Love to other things that do not lead us to God impels us all to live an empty life, and tormented, not valuing what God has done so that our soul is not lost, it is for what this verse tells us is that it is worth having everything to value things that will make us lose our soul. many times in our empty walk We do not care about anyone, just us and our family. and even more when we have the way of estra well. However, the Bible says of Jesus: "Being rich, he became poor FOR LOVE to us".
And many will say, and what does this have to do with losing our soul? Well, it has a lot to do with it. As long as we live thinking about how to be happy with material things, we are moving farther and farther away from God.
People have been deceived into thinking that everything that exists is only everything that you see. However, the book of the Bible ECCLESIAS says that all that there is in life is VANITY and a waste of time.
The Bible also says that all the things we see are going to be undone by fire. The world in the end will experience total destruction and EVERYTHING will be burned and destroyed that is why we must cultivate what will be eternal that is our soul when we obtain the forgiveness and salvation of God because it is the only thing that will be eternal.
Today we are dedicated to living a life outside of God and treasuring on earth and discarding God not valuing that death that gives us life today.
I invite you today to discard everything that takes us away from God and those that could make us lose our soul we must go before God and recognize our sins and ask forgiveness and mercy from God. That is the first and most important and he will help us day by day.
And what both precedes and follows are a practical means towards the ongoing salvation of our souls. Salvation is indeed has a threefold aspect: past (justification), present (sanctification) and eventual (glorification).
The New Testament exhorts us to examine ourselves as to whether we are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5; 2 Peter 1:10). It further lays upon us the expectation to persevere in the faith (Philippians 2:12-13; Luke 8:15; 21:19; Romans 2:7; 5:3, 4; 2 Thessalonians 1:4; Hebrews 10:36; 12:1; James 1:3-4; 2 Peter 1:6; Revelation 1:9. 2:2-3, 19; 3:10; 13:10; 14:12).
Paul’s words to Timothy closely parallel Peter’s exhortation to “save yourself.”
Excellent writing to meditate what you have exposed, the Lord was very wise in leaving us that manual for our life @izuchukwu1506 God bless you very much and continue to fill you with knowledge to build others.
It is said that the needs of man are few, but that his desires have no end. Now, it seems that many do not know how to distinguish between needs and desires. What is the difference? The real needs are the essential things for life, such as food, clothing and a roof. On the other hand, desires are the things that one would like to have, but that are not indispensable for life.
In general, what do people want?
The desires of the people can vary enough from one place to another. In developing countries, many may be content to have enough money to buy a cell phone, a motorcycle or a small piece of land. In contrast, in richer countries, people may want to buy fancy clothes, a bigger house or a more expensive car. In any case, there is a real danger: getting caught up in materialism, wanting more and more things, whether we need them or not, whether we have the money to buy them or not.
@sc-v That is the detail that we must know to differentiate, not to have if not to remain trapped, I have seen people who have and desire more and more and sometimes it is not bad as long as it is God who gives us those blessings, but what is always there is that pray and tell God if that will hurt me, do not give it to me because it is preferable to have an eternal life to forget all the wonderful things that God does in our lives that often is not material. God blesses according to his will and who better than him to know that we really need and what we want, we must be aware that the enemy often seizes us and hooks us in things that could separate us from God, God saving our lives and helping us every day
It is said that the requirements of man are few, however that his wants have no end. Presently, it appears that numerous don't know how to recognize needs and wants. What is the distinction? The genuine needs are the basic things forever, for example, sustenance, garments and a rooftop. Then again, wants are the things that one might want to have, however that are not basic forever.
By and large, what do individuals need?
The wants of the general population can differ enough starting with one place then onto the next. In creating nations, numerous might be substance to have enough cash to purchase a PDA, a cruiser or a little real estate parcel. Conversely, in wealthier nations, individuals might need to purchase extravagant garments, a greater house or a more costly auto. Regardless, there is a genuine threat: becoming involved with realism, needing an ever increasing number of things, whether we require them or not, whether we have the cash to get them or not.
