"Dear friends,
let us love one another,
for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God
and knows God."
- 1 John 4:7

"Whoever loves his brother lives in the light,
and there is nothing in him to make him stumble."
- 1 John 2:10

"There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has nothing to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
- 1 John 4:18

"If you really keep the royal lay found in Scripture,
'Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right."
- James 2:8

"We love because He first loved us."
- 1 John 4:19

"As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with
compassion,
kindness,
humility,
gentelness, and
patience.
Bear with each other and forgive
whatever grievances you may have for one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love,
which binds them all together in perfect unity"
- Colossians 3:12-14

SOVEREIGN GOD,
Thy cause, not my own, engages my heart,
and I appeal to thee with greatest freedom
to set up they kingdom in every place where Satan reigns;
Glorify thyself and I shall rejoice,
for to bring honour to thy name is my sole desire.
I adore thee that thou art God,
and long that others should know it, feel it, and rejoice in it.
O that all men might love and praise thee,
that thou mightest have all glory from the intelligent world!
Let sinners be brought to thee for they dear name!
To the eye of reason everything respecting the conversion of others
is as dark as midnight,
But thou canst accomplish great things;
the cause is thine,
and it is to thy glory that men should be saved.
Lord, use me as thou wilt,
do with me what thou wilt;
but, O, promote thy cause,
let thy kingdom come,
let thy blessed interest be advanced in this world!
O do thou bring in great numbers to Jesus!
let me see that glorious day,
and give me to grasp for multitudes of souls;
let me be willing to die to that end;
and while I live let me labour for thee
to the utmost of my strength,
spending time profitably in this work,
both in health and in weakness.
It is thy cause and kingdo I long for, not my own.

O, answer thou my request!

- Puritan Prayer

"The Lord...is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward us,
not desiring that any should perish,
but that all should turn to repentance."
- 2 Peter 3:9

"But if our Gospel be hidden,
it is hidden to those who are perishing
and obscured to those who are spiritually dying
and veiled to those who are lost."
- 2 Corinthains 4:3

"For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed ,
Whom they have no faith.
And how are they to believe in Him of Whom they have never heard?..."

it is much more than a belief...

"where then does wisdom come from? where does understanding dwell?
it is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds of the air.
destruction and death say, 'only a rumor of it has reached our ears.'
God understands the way to it and He alone knows where it dwells, for He views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
when He established the force of the wind and measured out the waters, when He made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
then He looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.
and He said to man,
'The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.'"
- job 28:20-28

God doesn't believe in atheists:
Chapter 1

Someone with dry wit once made me laugh when he mumbled, "Come in, boat number nine. Please come in, boat number nine. Boat number nine, can you hear me? Wait a minute--we don't have a boat number nine! Boat number six - are you in trouble?"

It amazes me that people can have a belief in the existence of God, and yet not think for a minute that something is radically wrong in our world. They can smile while boat number six sits upside-down in the water, slowly sinking. Let's look at an average day on God's fair earth. The day dawns to find that (according to UNICEF), 20,000 children have starved to death during the night. Another 20,000 children and many thousands of adults will die today of severe malnutrition. Nothing new there. Thousands of people will die from snake bites, poisonous spiders, attacks by sharks (an average of twenty-eight per year), scorpion bites, being eaten by lions, tigers, and devoured by other man-eating killers, not to mention blood-sucking mosquitoes and leeches.

Perhaps today we will have a surprise volcanic eruption, or an earthquake to crush families to death beneath the debris of their homes. Cancerous diseases will continue to take their toll and cause thousands to die in agony. Multitudes will perish from fatal ailments that have always plagued mankind, from asthma to typhoid to leprosy to heart disease. Today, human beings will be struck by lightning, drowned in floods, stung to death by killer bees, killed by hurricanes and tornadoes, tormented by blights, pestilence and infestations. They will be afflicted, devastated and brought to ruin.

The fact is, there are only three alternatives to explain all this suffering:
1. There is no God, as evidenced by the chaos.
2. God is totally incompetent and can't control His creation (or won't, which makes Him a tyrant).
3. Another explanation exists, one which the Bible gives for the state of the world.
Let's take a rational, logical look at the first of these three possibilities. It is the basis of a philosophy commonly called "atheism."

Faith Is for Wimps
From my own experience and from listening to many objections to Christianity, I have found that the subject of faith is often offensive to the nonbeliever. My own thinking was that faith was for the weak-minded, for little old ladies, and for those near death. Yet every belief you and I have about history, other countries, science, biology, etc., exists because of faith. You only believe what you believe because you believed the person who told you the information you believe. You don't know who discovered America. You simply have faith that what was told to you is indeed true. Neither do you know if General Custer died at the hands of Indians, or if Napoleon really existed.

We can't live without faith. Try it. Say to yourself, "Today, I refuse to exercise any faith at all." Then before you eat your corn flakes, go through every flake, scientifically testing it before you eat it. Refuse to trust that the manufacturers have obeyed health regulations and mixed the ingredients correctly. Do the same tests on the milk before you pour it on the corn flakes, in faith. You don't know that the milk processors have done their job and given you pure milk. They may have mixed in something that could be harmful to your health. Don't trust the sugar producers either. God only knows what they did while they were processing the sugar. Check the microscope and other tools used for your analysis. How can you really trust that the information you gather from them is reliable? Don't trust your weight to the chair at the breakfast table. Don't believe today's weather report or any news item until you actually go to the proper location and see for yourself if what they would have you believe is true. Even then you will have to trust your natural senses (which can't always be trusted).

Before you drink your coffee, don't trust that the cup is perfectly clean. Wash it out yourself. Don't use untested water, in faith. We really don't know what's in it nowadays. It may be contaminated. Analyze the coffee. If you decide to take a taxi to work, you will have to trust your life to the vehicle and the taxi driver, and trust the other drivers to stay on their side of the road. You will have to trust elevators, stairways, airplanes, the post office, and banks. Believe me -- we either live with faith or fall victim to paranoia.

If, then, faith so evidently surrounds us, why should it be so offensive? It is simply because faith is as essential to the spir... ]]> ~llatrejull http://llatrejull.deviantart.com/journal/1160213/ http://llatrejull.deviantart.com/journal/1160213/ Sun, 09 Nov 2003 09:22:30 PST 1 - man is sinful and separated from God:
. . . . . . "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
. . . . . . "For the wages of sin is death"
. . . . . . "But your sins have made a seperation between you and your God"
. . . . . . ( Romans 3:23 ; Romans 6:23 ; Isaiah 59:2 )

2 - God loves us and doesn't want us to perish:
. . . . . . "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"
. . . . . . "The Lord . . . is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"
. . . . . . ( John 3:16 ; 2 Peter 3:9 )

3 - Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin:
. . . . . . "I [Jesus] am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father [God], but through Me"
. . . . . . "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Jesus Christ died for us"
. . . . . . ( John 14:6 ; Romans 5:8 )

4 - We must individually receive Jesus as Savior and Lord:
. . . . . . "But as many as received Him [Jesus], to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name"
. . . . . . "If you confess with your mouth Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession results in salvation"
. . . . . . ( John 1:12 ; Romans 10:9-10 ) ]]> ~llatrejull http://llatrejull.deviantart.com/journal/931700/ http://llatrejull.deviantart.com/journal/931700/ Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:17:47 PDT we cannot be saved by our own works for we all have sinned:
"As it is written, ' There is none righteous, not even one...'" - Rom 3:10
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Rom 3:23

our sin is what seperates us from God:
"But your sin has made a seperation from you and your God" - Isaiah 59:2

there are consequences for sin:
"For the wages of sin is death" - Rom 6:23

God's love has provided us a way to cleanse our sin:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" - John 3:16

so repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved, it is by grace, not "good" works:
"But not God has shown us a different way to heaven - not by 'being good enough' and trying to keep His laws, but by a new way (though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago), Now God says He will accept and aquit us - declare us 'not guilty' - if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we can be saved in this same way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like" - Rom 3:21-22

yes, there is only ONE way to God:
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father (God), but by me'" - John 14:6

we must individually receive Jesus as Savior and Lord
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name" - John 1:12
