Welcome To The Word of God For July 30th 2009
Scripture Verse of the Day
2nd Corinthians 6:2
For God Say, “Your cry cameĀ to me at a favorable time, when the doors of welcome were wide open. I helped you on a day when salvation was being offered.” At this moment God is ready to welcome you. TODAY he is ready to save you.
Scripture Reading of The Day From The Living Bible
1 John 1
Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of Life. This one who is Life from God has been shown to us and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us. Again I say, we are telling you about what we ourselves have actually seen and heard, so that you may share the fellowship and the joys we have with the Father and with Jesus Christ his son. And if you do as I say in this letter, then you, too, will be ful of joy and so will we.
This is the message God has given to us to pass on to you: that God is Light and in him is no darkness at all. So if we say we are his friends, but go on living in spiritual darkness and sin, we are lying. But if we are living in the light of God’s presence, just as Christ does, then we have wonderful fellowship and joy with each other, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves, and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he can be depended on to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. And it is perfectly proper for God to do this for us because Christ dies to wash away our sins. If we claim we have not sinned, we are lying and calling God a liar, for he says we have sinned.
Sam’s Response….
Is this a favorable time for God to hear your cry?
Will the doors of welcome be open to YOU?
Yes…Yes…Yes…
If the posture of your heart is yearning for a better way…if you truely repent and ask For Jesus Christ to Be YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR…then you too can have salvation and freedom.
This is wonderful news.
I love that fact that NO DARKNESS can reside in or near GOD. It just can’t happen. I sit hear tonight typing this up and I am sitting in darkness. The only light is the glow of my laptop, darkness is all around me. Yet, one day I will be close enough to God where darkness will never exist.
Today, there is much spiritual darkness in this world. The Evil one continues to prowl and devour. Many lives are sadly being hauled away to a future that is filled with pain and darkness. Darkness can creep in so quickly that sometimes you don’t even realize it is now enveloping you.
The way to Joy and Freedom is through Christ Our Lord…There is no 2nd place here. There is Christ and then there is Darkness. You believe, or you don’t. You sin and ask for forgiveness, or you choose to just keep on sinning and keep on lying to yourself and to God.
All of us will make an account and NONE of us is free from SIN…ALL have sinned…ALL have fallen short of the Glory of God. It is NOT the sin that is holding you from opening the doors to salvation and freedom, it is simply the Posture of your heart.
Cry out to God and seek him…He will be there waiting and smiling down upon you when you move from a life of sin, to a life of repentance…
Light or Darkness…its Your Choice. Time to go turn on the light!
