Corruption spread like Flu, infectious diseases

 God is Holy, lives in Holy place, not in corrupt body - live a holy live to get God’s help

Corruption spread like Flu, spread in air. It is also like infectious diseases. If one work in a corrupt practice place, he may also be infected, he may be made involve. It is as dangerous as contagious diseases. If the big boss is corrupt his lower worker may get involve as the bribe givers are very expert. They set such a trap that inexperience person will never know it was bribery. They will offer you saying “This is for your cup of tea”. The second time bigger. Third time you are trapped.

In Christian life, it is the most condemnable. Not only in corruption of money and power, corruption in character is the most dreaded, which spread like wave. It kills character, body and soul. It damaged image, prestige, unworthy to be called Christian.

SALVATION IS ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Salvation, as understood in the Old Testament, is only through Yahweh. Other religions do not save. The gods are powerless. In the Old Testament terms, the question whether there is salvation in other religion is, according to Goldingway and Wright, a non-question: “There is salvation in no religion because religions don’t save”. Israel was saved by Yahweh, not by religion. Religions may offer many good starting points, but they are not adequate as finishing points. “There is no salvation in them, not because they are somehow inferior as religions to the religion of Christianity, but because they are not witnesses to the deeds of the God who saves”. Insights alone are not enough. “We need redemption, not merely revelation”. { Stated by Roger E. Hedlund in ‘The Biblical approach to Other Religion’.}

Love Verses in the Bible

Read these verses from the Bible about love in relation to God, Jesus Christ, and the Christian and be blessed -

 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:10)

 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)

  Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. (Romans 12:9)

 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.( Proverbs 17:17)

Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31)

God Never Changes :

One of the most important things about God is that He never changes. God is a perfect example of dependability.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (Psalms 90:2)

People Change—God Does Not

GOD’S FAITHFULNESS GIVES US CONFIDENCE

 “My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!” ( Psalm 108:1)
Faithfulness is defined as: “constant; true to one’s word or promise”. This defines Our God! “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my saviour; My God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” (Psalm 18:2)

A Firm Foundation :
“Who but our God is a solid rock?” (Psalm 18:31).
God has not changed. In a world where everything is rapidly and constantly changing, God is like a solid, unchanging rock that we can stand on. God’s word is true and we can count on it because it is based in His faithful character.
 “The grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8)
 God does not make mistakes or change his mind. He is not swayed by public opinion. God is a firm foundation.

Have assurance of salvation

 “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:11-13)
All who believed in the Son of God (Jesus Christ),received and accepted Him (John 1:12) as Lord and Saviour become the children of God. If you have Jesus, you have life. Not temporary life, but eternal.
God wants us to have assurance of our salvation. We cannot live our Christian lives wondering and worrying each day whether or not we are truly saved. That is why the Bible makes the plan of salvation so clear. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved (John 3:16; Acts 16:31).
If you believe that Jesus is the Saviour, that He died to pay the penalty for your sins, you are saved (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)?

BELIEVERS ARE JESUS BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Jesus lived on earth 2,000 years ago and He was fully God and fully man. 

Colossians 2:9 says: “  For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.”

 Jesus was God so He was sinless.  He was the only man who could die for us, because the rest of humanity--including Mary--has sinned.  Romans 3:23 reads: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

 Mary was a good woman, but only a human being.  You are equal with Mary if you hear God's word and put it into practice.  Luke 8:19-21 reads:

 “ Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd.  Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”  He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”

Therefore, thank Jesus Christ, who, being the Son of God love you as His brother or sister. Love Him by obeying Him in every way.

YOU CAN BE HEALED ETERNALLY

                                                         

One day, while Jesus was preaching in a house, some men brought one paralytic man. “Seeing their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” (Read Mark 2:1-12)

In not healing the man first, effectively Jesus is saying sin is a greater problem than this man’s paralysis. Why? To understand the answer, we need to understand why sin is such a bad problem according to Jesus. The word sin in this passage literally means to miss the mark—the mark of God’s perfect standards. Imagine an arrow moving in the air and falling short of a target. That’s what sin is like, and all of us fall short of God’s perfect standards all the time. The consequence of sin is eternal separation from God, and this is what the Bible calls Hell.

THE BIBLE IS A POWERFUL BOOK

 "For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
 "For the Word of God is living and active .  .":

DOING GOOD TO ALL :

 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
