WORLD'S MATERIAL COMFORTS OR GOD'S MATERIAL COMFORTS

WORLD'S MATERIAL COMFORTS OR GOD'S MATERIAL COMFORTS

"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' " [Luke 16:22-26]

In these passages we all see here the consequences of all selfishness. Insulated by all of those material comforts of life, this rich man had never ever taken inventory of his very deepests needs and sins. Because he was hardhearted and so very selfish, refusing to feed the beggar Lazarus, he was so consigned to hell. Lazarus, on the other hand, lacked the very basic needs and he had suffered very physcial pain in his lifetime, but he was prepard for eternity. Death proved to be the greated equalizer, effecting s reversal of fortune for these two people. THE ANSWER: God wants us to have the proper attitude toward money and possessions and to have us use them undelfishly to help others. Final Thought here: Jesus Christ has exposed a very wealthy young man's dependencies on all of his possessions. Jesus Christ brought him face to face with all human problems - misplaced Devotion. We don't know whether or not that this man ever repented of his own heavy attachments to his belonging's, but each of us is alway's faced with the same choice. Ony by renouncing our unhealhy, fulfilling relationships with first of all w ith God, then ourselves, then all other's. God will hold us all accountable for our sins (Eze.18:30); We should hold each other accountable (Luke.17:3,4);We are Accountable in what we believe(John. 3:17,18,19,God will examine our actions (2Cor.5:10); Armor for physical battles (1Sam. 17:38); Weapons cannot stop God's power ( Eze. 38:4); Spiritual armor prepares us for life (Ro.13:12);Righteousness is a spiritual weapon (2Cor.6:7);God's weapons conquerors Satan's strongholds (2Cor.10:4); Put on the Armor (Eph.6:11-18) Jesus Is the Highest Authority (Matt.28:18) ;Choose a postive attitude (Hab.3:17-19) Bad attitudes hurts our relationship with God (Gen.4:6,7); Bad attitudes leads to poor decisions (Num.14:1-4) ;God gives christian a new attitude (Hab.3:17-19) More Than Conquerors (Ro.8:37)Christians should always rejoice (Phil.4:4) i_amgodschild@yahoo.com.

Welcome To Jesus Brides Maid

These are those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as their personal savior and have received eternal life. In the New Testament, Christ, the Bridegroom, has sacrificially and lovingly chosen the church to be His bride (Ephesians 5:25-27). Just as there was a betrothal period in biblical times during which the bride and groom were separated until the wedding, so is the bride of Christ separate from her Bridegroom during the church age. Her responsibility during the betrothal period is to be faithful to Him (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:24). At the Second Coming of Christ, the church will be united with the Bridegroom, the official "wedding ceremony" will take place and, with it, the eternal union of Christ and His bride will be actualized (Revelation 19:7-9; 21:1-2).

At that time, all believers will inhabit the heavenly city known as New Jerusalem, also called “the holy city” in Revelation 21:2 and 10. The New Jerusalem is not the church, but it takes on the church’s characteristics. In his vision of the end of the age, the Apostle John sees the city coming down from heaven adorned “as a bride,” meaning that the inhabitants of the city, the redeemed of the Lord, will be holy and pure, wearing white garments of holiness and righteousness. Some have misinterpreted verse 9 to mean the holy city is the bride of Christ, but that cannot be because Christ died for His people, not for a city. The city is called the bride because it encompasses all who are the bride, just as all the students of a school are sometimes called “the school.”

As believers in Jesus Christ, we who are the bride of Christ wait with great anticipation for the day when we will be united with our Bridegroom. Until then, we remain faithful to Him and say with all the redeemed of the Lord, “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20). If Any Of You are likeminded whom fully trust In Jesus Christ as YOUR Savior and have Obedience unto His True Biblical THE LIVING WORD Because of Jesus Christ of His sacrifice and resurrection, and Reconciliation to whom believes and trust, faith in Obedience and has Witness and proclaimed in One's own life that had deeply been injured whom knows His power and authority that has been revived in the Lord Jesus Christ that has Obedience unto Him and respected Him and lives by the Lord Jesus Christ and is alway's deeply devoted unto Him until He comes for all of children whom is the Bride of Jesus Christ. For He is everyones ultimate Judge.
