Faith in God as Our Creator Matters

Faith in God as Our Creator Matters...

As a Christian and Spiritual Believer, 

You Must Trust Father GOD! 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Christianity is Based on Faith and Father GOD is Our Faith.  Father God Loves You! The Proof is Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit! Please Don't Let the Negativity of Others Affect Your Outlook on Life! A Relationship with Father God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is the Best Thing that Will Ever Happen to You So Embrace it with Meditation and Prayer... Remember that your victorious life is via GOD, and not through anything or anyone else. Your successes are made via Father God’s abilities within you.   We are nothing without Him but dust.  Sure, it seems like we are in control, but we will never be in control.  At the drop of a dime, death come, and we can never stop it.  It is not up to us. According to the word of GOD in the Book of Acts, we have life and motion and existence in Him. Look at this verse: “Certainly, we live, move, and exist because of him. As some of your poets have said, 'We are God's children'” Acts 17:28.

Father God is Spirit and

 His worshipers must worship 

Him in Spirit and in Truth – 

Again, in the Holy Bible it says, “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24. – Read More @ http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+4%3A23-24  Plus Read More Commentary @ http://www.godvine.com/bible/john/4-24

The Belief of Father God’s 

and Jesus Christ’s Existence 

is a Faith Based Choice of Believers – 

Please read this commentary from Got Questions.org: “Does God exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God?” “Question: "Does God exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God?" Answer: The existence of God cannot be proved or disproved. The Bible says that we must accept by faith the fact that God exists: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). If

God so desired, He could simply appear and prove to the whole world that He exists. But if He did that, there would be no need for faith. “Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed’” (John 20:29).” – Read More @

A Belief in Jesus Christ is a 

Faith Based Choice of Believers – 

The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit. What comes first is the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later. Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven” 15:45-47 - 1 Corinthians NLT. – Read More @ http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/15-47.htm  And Read More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/nlt/1_corinthians/15.htm

Living as Spiritual Sojourner, Believer, and a Christian

Living as Spiritual Sojourner, Believer, and a Christian

Seven Factors of a Spiritual Sojourner, Believer, and a Christian…

1.  Knows Jesus is Lord, the High Priest, the Son of God, Savior, and Mediator between Almighty God and mankind… Read Ephesians 3:11- 12 “according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.  In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence." – More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/niv/ephesians/3.htm

2. Believes in Oneness with Jesus Christ as the sole gift for granting salvation after the confession of sins as a spiritual sojourner and Christian who receives the gift of the Holy Spirit of God who readily comes and resides within their physical earthly body which is called the human temple of the Highest God. Read Righteousness through Faith - Romans 3:21-31 – More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/niv/romans/3.htm  And Also @ http://biblehub.com/romans/3-21.htm

3. Prays for the forgiveness of any transgressions while attempting to follow our Father God’s commandments for All His children especially the commandment for love that says, [See “… “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, Love you neighbor as yourself.’” Luke 10:27 NLT – More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/luke/10-27.htm Also Read The Lord’s Prayer @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A9-13]

 4.  Acknowledges their spirituality and faith in Almighty God reads their Bible, prays consistently, gives daily thanks for all things no matter the circumstance, and works daily to make their lifestyle resemble the teachings of the Holy Word of God. [See “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? ...The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours…and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 

Plus, More @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_corinthians/3.htm Also Read Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/3-16.htm]

5.  Holds fast against temptation, never conforms, and consistently makes sacrifices under daily life cultural differences and religious pressure to be intolerant of others' personal choices. [See Romans 12 @ http://biblehub.com/niv/romans/12.htm Especially Note Romans12:2 “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” 

@ http://biblehub.com/romans/12-2.htm 

Plus, the New Living Translation @ http://biblehub.com/nlt/romans/12.htm]

6.  Share their faith regardless of the scenario, or circumstance fully expecting the Holy Spirit of God to work out the differences as He draws Father God’s Child into the body of Christ knowing that this family and community is the paradigm to their faith. [See Deuteronomy 30:19 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses.  Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life so that you and your descendants might live!” NLT - Read More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/30-19.htm 

And also read “How does God's sovereignty and Mankind's Free Will Work Together in Salvation? 

More Commentary @ http://www.gotquestions.org/sovereign-free-will.html 

Note - We all have free will and it’s our personal choice to live as we choose personally and professionally as long as we are not physically harming others. We must be tolerant of others' choices and this includes their religious and sexuality choices as well because We All Matter to God!!]

7.  Makes faith in God sacrifices for love of God and His principles for self, others, and remain hopeful and tolerant no matter the potential financial outcome, and no matter the risk to their livelihood. [See Proverbs 21:2-3 “A person may think their own ways are right, but

the Lord weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” 

More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/proverbs/21-3.htm 

And Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end, it leads to death.” 

More Commentary at Matthew Henry Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/proverbs/16-25.htm Finally, read “What the Bible Says about Free Will – Choices” @ http://bibleresources.org/free-will-choices/] 

God is Spirit and His Worshipers must 
Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

(Translated from John 4:24 NIV)

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 NIV

To Our Father God Belongs All Glory, Majesty, Power and Authority!

To Our Father God Belongs All Glory, Majesty, Power and Authority!
  
~ Power ~ For Apostle Peter said, “Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.” - 1 Peter 5:11 - ISV

“To him is the glory, the dominion and the honor to the eternity of eternities. Amen.” 1 Peter 5:11 - Aramaic Bible in Plain English ~ http://biblehub.com/1_peter/5-11.htm
 
All Glory, Majesty, Power and Authority!
“Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.” Jude 1:24-25 NLT ~ http://biblehub.com/nlt/jude/1.htm

 *Believers have to accept JESUS CHRIST before we are given the knowledge and wisdom to fully, fully understand the deep things of GOD. 

Apostle Paul told

the Corinthians this:  “When I first came to

you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words

and impressive wisdom to tell you GOD’S secret plan.

For I decided that while I was with you I would forget

 everything except JESUS CHRIST, the one who was

crucified. came to you in weakness—timid and

trembling. And my message and my preaching were

very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive

speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I

did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but

in the power of GOD.”

“Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak

with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that

belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who

are soon forgotten. No, the wisdom we speak of is the

mystery of GOD—His plan that was previously hidden,

even though He made it for our ultimate glory before

the world began. But the rulers of this world have not

understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified

our glorious LORD. That is what the Scriptures mean

when they say,

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,

and no mind has imagined

what GOD has prepared

for those who love Him.”

“But it was to us that GOD revealed these things by

His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and

shows us GOD’S deep secrets. No one can know a

person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and

no one can know GOD’S thoughts except GOD’S own

Spirit. And we have received GOD’S Spirit (not the

world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things

God has freely given us.”

“When we tell you these things, we do not use

words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we

speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s

words to explain spiritual truths But people who aren’t

spiritual can’t receive these truths from GOD’S Spirit. It

all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it,

for only those who are spiritual can understand what

the Spirit means. Those who are spiritual can evaluate

all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by

others.  For,

“Who can know the LORD’S thoughts?

Who knows enough to teach Him?”

But we understand these things, for we have the mind

of CHRIST.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 NLT   ~

 Apostle Paul explains it in a manner that is easy for

anyone to understand. The truth is always revealed via

GOD’S Holy Spirit. Again, it is a spiritual thing and in order to understand spiritual things that pertain to GOD and JESUS CHRIST, you will have to accept JESUS CHRIST and the Holy Spirit of GOD. Otherwise as Apostle Paul told the believers at Corinth, “GOD does not reveal them to you.

GOD reveals His truths via His Spirit.  

“But to us, GOD revealed them through the Spirit. For the

Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of GOD.”

1 Corinthians 2:10 ¹⁴ASV  ~

GOD reveals His truths via His Spirit.

Again, GOD reveals His truths via His Spirit, the Word of

GOD was inspired and written via GOD’S Holy Spirit.
