Welcome To The Plan Of Salvation
(Jesus is Lord † He is God!) God the Father - God the Son - God the Holy Spirit
The word of God says in Hebrews
13:5-6, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will
not fear. What can man do to me?". John 14:18, "I will not leave you orphans or comfortless; I will
come to you". Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through Me". John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do
I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". John 17:1-26, Jesus
spoke these words-(before the hour of His crucifixion), lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour
has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. And this is eternal life, that they may know You,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the
work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had
with You before the world was. But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy
fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them
from the evil one. They-(Christians) are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your
truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me-(Jesus) into the world, I also have sent them-(Christians, disciples
to preach the true gospel) into the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known
You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love
with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them".
John 3:16-18, "For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not
send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in
Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God".
Faith in God is trust and trust can be a challenge
when you can't see God with your physical eyes, but you can feel Him in your heart which is better than a physical hug.
Hugs are great!, but God's embrace is much greater to feel Him deep within your heart and know He does exist
and cares! Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
I Corinthians 14:33, "For God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints".
Matthew 5:8-9, "Blessed are the pure-(humble) in heart, for they shall see-(connect with) God. Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God". A pure/humble heart doesn't happen over night, for it is a
process to learn and mature; and the more you learn by trusting God and His word, your heart begins to clean as you adopt
to a new beginning. Romans 6:14, "For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law-(sacrificial
atonement) but under grace-(shed blood of Jesus)". Sin-(is imperfection of the flesh or imperfection of the human
race) which can bring about temptation to create a bondage-(an addiction, wrongful habits, great fear to torment
the heart, intimidation, an insecure heart or lack of confidence, phobias which come in great fear, etc. . .)
Eversince Adam and Eve sinned, the human flesh became an imperfect body--but the heart can mend to become strong
and help the human flesh. Centuries ago, sin was dealt with a sacrificial offering to God; and Christians
who backslid into temptation saw consequences of their bondage to scar or stamp their lives, but today
we have God's atonement of Grace through the shed blood of His only Son. When Jesus was crucified, He bore the sins
of the world; and we have a 2nd chance to no longer suffer the consequences of a sinful nature. In Christ we have eternal
life, and through the shed blood of Jesus we can move on in life to break away from bondage. If you are of
a confident spirit, then temptation will not come to you easy being of a strong spirit or strong heart. Hebrews
10:35, "Do not cast away your confidence which brings great reward". If you encountered injustice as
a child to have affected or scarred your emotion, it becomes an emotional injury to prevent your
confidence from ever developing. Then unnecessary sufferings come with it, but Philippians 4:13 says "I can
do all things through Christ who strengthens me!". You can survive and surpass the emotional pain to no longer
afflict your life. Psalm 34:19, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them
all". Invite
Him into your heart by simply speaking to Him whether in private, out loud, in your quiet thought or any way you're
most comfortable praying, and He will hear you; and trust Him to better understand who God is. Get to know God in
trust and you will know who He really is! The next advise is to stay in the word of God. Hebrews 4:12, "For
the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,
and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart". Stay in God's word, and
learn as many scriptures as you can by meditating on a list of your favorite scriptures to personally help you;
and speak each scripture out loud privately to help the mind captivate the power, and this will help establish a
sound mind (because the human mind receives and records a strong positive input coming from God's word).
