The word for today is - Live !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Live !

 

Let's look at Acts17:28,For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. When Peter repeats the Lord's words in 1 Peter 1:16,Because it is written, Be ye holy: for I am holy. He is talking specifically to believers. As believers, we need to be "set apart" from the world unto the Lord. We need to be living by God's standards, not the world's. God’s holiness pervades His entire being and shapes are all His attributes. His love is a holy love, His mercy is a holy mercy, and even His anger and wrath, they are holy anger and holy wrath. These concepts are difficult for humans to grasp, just as God is difficult for us to understand in His entirety. Let's read Romans1:16-17,For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. We all need a relationship with the living God. The word tells us,in 1 John 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things  that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him..We are to live according to God's Word . Amen !Let's look at Solomon  the wisest man who ever lived,He says that life is all about honoring God with our thoughts and lives and thus keeping His commandments, for one day we will stand before Him in judgment. Part of our purpose in life is to fear God and obey Him.The purpose of man life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Jesus taught that we should, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. That’s a promise that we can surely bank on.The  purpose for our lives is for us to experience the abundant life that He desires for us. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
