accepting God's gift of love

The bible tells us of God's love. God the Father created our souls in love. God the Son redeemed us from our sins. God the Holy Spirit provides us with grace to live with  "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control". (Galations 5: 22,23) 

Living the good news is not always easy for some of us. I have a particular problem with impatience. sometimes I think that my impatience and failures in dealing with adversity stem from my lack of a strong faith. I must believe that with God's love that I have all that I need to live as a faithful Christian.

I happened upon this article: Fruit of the Spirit: Patience - Blessing of Heaven  
I call your attention not only to the article itself, but also: 
"How to Be Saved, God's Plan of Salvation:
Hear: Romans 10:17
Believe: Mark 16:16
Repent: Acts 2:38
Confess Matthew 10:32
Be Baptized: Acts 22:16; 1 Peter 3:17-22
Remain Faithful: Revelation 2:10"

I hope that this helps you as it helps me. God bless you.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell satan and all of the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

is death like waking up from a nightmare?

Image
Have you ever had nightmares? so vivid that they seemed real? where it takes a while to convince yourself that the nightmare wasn't real? I have.  Recently it occurred to me that nightmares may be a precursor to death.  Many of us wonder what will happen to us when we die. We get bogged down by our sins. We're fearful that we may be justifiably sentenced to hell. Then, morning comes. The darkness disappears and we see the Light!  Jesus God redeemed us from our sins!  God i s Light and Love. God is merciful. Seek the light, love and mercy of God. 13 He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians, Chapter 1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/16918182@N03/6866667448/ attribution: Sally and flickr https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/
