The Family of GOD

The Family of GOD
See ^[a]how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. ² Beloved, now we are children of God, 1 John 3:1-2 NAS

The bible teaches you have to be spiritually birth into the family of GOD. Many say we are all children of GOD, but the truth is we may ALL be creatures of GOD but we are not ALL children of GOD, until first we are saved and born again.  Jesus said marvel not or wonder not, that you must be born again. The famous missionary once asked by a worldly scoffer, why do you preach you must be born again, and the wise missionary said, sir, it's because you must be born again !!


But once we are saved and born-again, we become part of the Family of GOD.


So first as a being part of the Family of GOD, we have an identification, we are identified as being children of GOD in this world.  It speaks of our relationship to Him, as He is our spiritual Father. Even our Heavenly Father, and we should look to him, listen to Him and love Him. It should be  spiritual a natural thing to you. Then  identication speaks of our resemblances to Him. We should walk in his ways, we should speak of His word and learn of His wisdom.


Then secondly, being a part of the family of GOD, means we have an occupation. We will want to serve, shout, sing and share the gospel to others seeking Him. Jesus was in the temple as a young lad of a boy, and he told all there that he was there being about His father's business.  After salvation, the next thing in your life is the "want" to tell others what GOD has done for you. Sharing your testimony of salvation with others, how He saved you.


Then thirdly, being a part of the family of GOD means you have a great reservation in heaven.  Heaven is your goal, Jesus said Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. ² In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14


I'm so glad that I am a part of the family of GOD, and you can too, today!!


But what does the bible say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, ^9 [e]that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for with the heart a person believes, ^[f]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ^[g]resulting in salvation.


Call on His name today and become part of the Family of GOD.


May God bless you,
Rev. Dan

Learning about HELL

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; ²³ and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, Luke 16:22


May I say, to be a complete bible preacher and teacher, you must teach / talk about that dreadful place called "HELL".  Hell was not intended for humans for the bible says it was prepare for the devil and his demons.see Matt. 25:41 ( a place of torment for the unbelieving souls)

The bible, God's word, teaches us about the under world. It talks about Sheol, the grave in the Old Testament in the Hebrew, Psalms 31-16-17. It teaches about paradise, the place for the believing Old Testament saints, Luke 16:19-31, also the Lake of fire,  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev.20:14-15

And the bible teaches on HELL (Hades) of which Jesus spoke of and taught.

First, Jesus teaches it is a PLACE, in Luke 16, this parable was more than a parable, an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.  An actual place with real names used. Not a state of mind, but an actual place.

Secondly,  Jesus PICTURED it,  a type of Hell when he saw the waste land Gehenna, near Jerusalem . where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.Mark 9:44-45

Thirdly, Hell is called a PRISON, 1 Peter 3:19  in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, ²⁰ who once were disobedient, The Apostle of Peter spoke of this place.

Fourthly, Hell is PIT, see Rev. 20:1-3
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,  The apostle John wrote this. Not a great nor glorious place. Many false teachers discard hell's teaching, but it's definitely in His book, in the bible. The natural man / lost man will not understand, but GOD will give him enough grace to believe!!

Friend, if you study Jesus's words, in the New testament, he spoke of HELL more times than he taught about Heaven, because He did not want anyone to go there. God is not willing that any should perish, but that ALL would come to Him.

OH friend, please Heed the warning !!  Please call in the LORD to save you from this dreadful place, There is a Heaven to gain but this a HELL to flee, Hell is hot but Heaven is sweet, please call on the LORD today.

The Apostle Paul

The Apostle Paul

1 Tim. 1:1-2

 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; ² unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

The bible is full of sermons, especially sermons on salvation and how to be saved.

 Here in 1 Timothy in the beginning verses we can see a message of salvation as seen in three ways, Paul’s title, Paul’s task and Paul’s trust

First Paul’s title, “Paul “  It’s his name but yet it reveals His conversion. He was a Jew and was name Saul after famous King Saul. He was name this in hopes he would do great things to come.

circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; ⁶ concerning zeal, persecuting the church;  touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Phil. 3:5-6

As Saul He moved up high in the religion, But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 

For he met Jesus on the Damascus road, he became blind and could not see. Jesus called him and saved him and He changed his name from the great Saul to the little and humble Paul.

So his name  reveals his conversion, and He titles this book of Timothy as Paul.

My friend have you been converted to Christ??

Secondly, we see Paul’s Task, an apostle of Jesus Christ.  The word apostle means one sent, and one sent with a message.  Just as Jesus had gloriously saved Paul, his message was to ALL that Jesus could save them. It has been said Paul became a reporter, telling the Good news, the gospel. Then Paul was also a representative of Jesus Christ, Telling of His work, ways and wisdom.   

And friend have you heard of the message of salvation of Jesus Christ??

Thirdly, we see Paul’s trust, The Lord Jesus Christ, which is his hope.  Paul’s hope was in the one who called him, cleanse him and cared for him.  Jesus saved Paul and then used him in a great way to promote the great gospel of Jesus Christ.  The song writer said” My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and his righteousness.”

So we see Paul’s title, task and trust, ALL speak of why he turned to Jesus, and if he did, you could too, today.  Just call on the name of the Jesus, believe He’s GOD’s son and accept Him as your LORD and Savior.

Jesus the way maker

Jesus the Way Maker

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me John 14:6

Three ways that Jesus is the Way Maker.

First, Jesus is the way maker in the way of Salvation.  
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10
It was His mission.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John3:17
It was His mandate.

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved John 10:9
It was His meaning.

Secondly, Jesus is the way maker in the way of our sanctification.
To be sanctified means to be set apart, so to be set apart for Him.
As [n]obedient children, do not [o]be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but [p]like the Holy One who called you, [q]be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:14-15

 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. Rom 13:13

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Col.2:6


Thirdly, Jesus is the way maker in our service for Him.

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; Mark 16:15

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. John 20:21

A work of faith and a labor of love.

He provided a way, He preformed the way and He purpose the way.

Are you lost?? Jesus can provide you a way.

Seek the LORD while He may be found, draw near to the LORD and He will draw near to you, for whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.

The truth that you need today

The truth that you need today


Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; ³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:31-32




First you need that repenting truth. You need to be in that place in your mind and heart that you want to repent, meaning to change your spiritual direction, to change your path 180 degrees, a turn around. Are you ready for that change?? Do you believed and rely on Jesus??

Secondly, you need a regenerating truth. Where you believed and confess that you need to be born again and  saved.  For Jesus and the Holy Spirit to make a live that dead soul and spirit. Believing on Jesus, GOD's son, and receiving the power of the Holy Spirit to make your soul and spirit alive!! 


The seed is the word of GOD, and it's planted and received in your heart and mind. then when the Holy Spirit moves, it makes a the seed alive in you and those who believe.


Thirdly, you need redeeming truth. who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity Titus 2:15
 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:1 Peter 1:18-19


Jesus paid the redeeming price with love, life and labor on the cross.   He did it ALL for me and you.  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD. REDEEM how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the shed blood of the Holy lamb of GOD, Jesus Christ, GOD's son!!


His child I am and forever I am!!


There are many false prophets and religious teachers, and they are ALL false without Jesus!!


That bread the came down from Heaven.  How GOD became flesh, came to this earth and dwelled among  us, then died for us. WHAT a great sacrifice !!


What truth are you looking for?? Are you searching for Him?? Draw near to the LORD and He will draw near to you, for whosoever shall call on the name for LORD shall be saved!!


Dear friend, today is the day of salvation, call on Him now and He will saved you, well PTL

Jesus command to love

Jesus commanding His Love

John 13:34-35

 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

I. His love is an unshaking Love

(The disciples and all His followers)

1. For He loved them despite their boasting, unlearned boasting

2. He loved them despite their blunders, unlisten blunders 

3. He loved them despite the blindness, unseen blunders

(he loved them He knew them)

II. He Love is an unselfish love

And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 and he is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 Jn 2:2

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:  1 JN 3:16

III. His Love is an unsurpassed love

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For one will hardly die for a righteous man; ^[d]though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us Rom5:6-8

IV. His Love is an unsolved Love

There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. ¹² They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Rom 3:10-12

 Soul seeker take / read these thoughts learn of Him.

Bible student use these thoughts as seed thoughts, plant and grow them,

Bible teacher take these thoughts and use them fro the honor and glory of God.

May God bless you,

RevDan
