John 3:16 †

HOW DOES GOD FIT IN MY MESS ?

Ask Him.He will tell,but first there is a condition Jesus Christ taught in John 14:6

I am the way and the truth and the life.No man can come unto the Father but by the Son.
So the first step to God revealing answers to your problems is to receive   Jesus Christ into your heart by inviting Him in and telling Him you believe in Him.

In the Gospel of St John the writer teaches (John 1:12)

But as many as received Him to them gave He power to become Sons of God even to them who believe on His name..
Note a key word in this phrase....POWER....

Believers can find this a stumbling block in their walk of faith because the power must be used every minute of life after receiving Jesus Christ and confessing known sins and repenting from them and receiving His forgiveness

1 John 1;9 promises and teaches

If we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness

Worldly problems like finances,work,health continue to lead us away turning hearts from Spiritual power to using worldly powers to solve our problems.To continue using the power He gave us when we received Jesus Christ as Lord of our life we must do the works of God.

WHAT WORKS ?

When asked in John 6:28

What must we do to do the works God requires ?
Jesus answered in the next verse
The works of God is this,to believe in the one He has sent

To have faith in Jesus Christ study the Bible so you'll know what He wants us to do about problems.

Jesus prayed in John 17:17

Father sanctify them with thy truth,thy word is truth
To do this we should study the Bible.When we receive Jesus Christ we become His disciples.

Jesus commanded and taught in John 8:31-32

If you continue in my words then are you my disciples indeed and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free
Free from what?

Free from the wages of sin the worlds pressure,wrongs,through Jesus,who promised and taught in John 16:33

I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace.In the world you shall have tribulation:but be of good cheer ;I have overcome the world
Now...many Bibles have bible study sin the back and many churches have bible study groups and one of these may be Gods ways of opening the door to His Kingdom for you.

God or Father and Jesus Christ our Savior are waiting right now to tell you how they fit in your mess.Col 3:17

KEEPING CHRISTMAS
By Henry Van Dyke

Romans 14:6-A He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord.

It s a good thing to observe Christmas Day.The mere marking of times and seasons when men agree to stop work and make merry together,is a wise and wholesome custom.It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds a man to set his own watch,now and then, by the great clock of humanity ,which runs on sun time.

But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day,and that is , keeping Christmas.

Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people , and to remember what other people have done for you ; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background,and your duties in the middle distance .and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground; to see that your fellow-men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts,hungry for joy;to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness-- are you willing to do these things even for a day ?

Then you can keep Christmas.

Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you, and ask yourself whether you love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear on their hearts;to try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really want;without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so it will give more light and less smoke,and carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts, and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate open-- are you willing to do these things even for a day?

Then you can keep Christmas.

Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world--- stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death-- and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of Eternal Love ?

Then you can keep Christmas.

And if you keep it for a day, why not always?
But you can never keep it alone.
