Hey everyone, I decided that I'm going to start a series of devotionals. Whenever I write one, I'll post it to the forums and number it. So if you want to look up other devotionals, you can just search by number. :) So without further ado, here is devotional 1:
"He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will" Ephesians 1:4-5
God chose us to be believers before time even began. He called us to Himself. There is nothing we could have done or could do to come to know Christ. It is only by the grace and the power of God that we are saved. Isn't that amazing? If God hadn't chosen you, you would be going to hell and there would be NOTHING you could do to change that. By the grace of God, you have been chosen to be a servant of God. I pray that this is scary to you. I hope that you see how much we need God. I hope you see just how powerful God is. I hope that you have a new fear of God. This generation has dumbed down God so much. There is no fear of God anymore. WAKE UP. Yes, God is love, but that means that he must hate! If you love someone, don't you hate anyone or anything that tries to harm them? So does God! He HATES sin! He HATES the wicked ways of the world! He tells us not to conform to the world and its ways! So don't act like everyone else, don't talk like everyone else, don't watch the same things as everyone else, ACT LIKE YOU FOLLOW CHRIST, NOT THE WORLD! This life is not about you, it's about God! Repent of your sins and your selfish ways! Live for Jesus! He died for you! Don't just sit there and keep that gift for yourself, SHARE IT!
In Christ, zaqw78 |

| Really good, well explained, this is a text many people choose to ignore due to the nature of it. You've explained it with clarity and fullness, providing an applicational and evangelistic note at the end. Keep up the great work, and God bless. |

| I do not mean to hate. I do not mean to annoy people. But how do we know if this "God" is real?? Or maybe a myth? I do believe in god. it is scary, What if we don't go to the after life? or hell when we die? What if We go somewhere else? God is a mystery to human kind. It remains a mystery. And if god was not there Who or what made earth and the solar system? Again, I do not wish to annoy people, And I do in fact believe in him. But why? |
