As A Little Child

-

 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Expect ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:1-2). This is how Jesus characterized conversion. Like the Beatitudesc, it pictures faith as the simple, helpless, trusting dependence of those who have no resources of their own. Like children, they have no achievements and accomplishments to offer or commend themselves with. We likewise must be willing to become just as the Word of God states here. 

As little children who're in need of the blessed provisions of our loving heavenly Father. But, how does one do so? Jesus Christ make this very clear within the pages of the Word of God so there's no excuse we can give. As a little child. This is the position we each must take when coming to the Lord Jesus Christ as lost sinners in need of salvation. 

The Words of Jesus Christ spoken to those asking the question; Who will be the greatest in the Kingdom? His reply was; And Jesus said .... Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many (Matthew 18:3-4; 20:25-28). 


There are many here within this present dark world system who'll seek to mislead those who're faithfully living a disciplined Kingdom Lifestyle in Jesus Christ. As a little child. These individuals will have to answer to the, Lord Jesus Christ, before, as well as, upon His soon return. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (Matthew 18:5-7). 

As a little child we should ensure we're leading a humble lifestyle of faithful commitment in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. This short blog post is meant to encourage each of us to daily seek after the Lord's will for our life. But, first of all, we've got to be as a little child to receive the Lord God's very best.

Passion & Praise God's Way

-

  I learned over the many years of my life God's ways of doing things are the total opposite of the way we as humans like to do things. The Word of God says; do this and instead, we insist on doing it our way which only leads us into problems in our life. We each can rediscover true passion and praise once again simply by seeking the Lord God's way of serving Him. We cannot come into the presence of the Lord God any kind of way. No, there's a sure way for us to enter into fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ each time we go to present ourselves before Him.  It's wonderful how the Lord Jesus Christ, followed his Father's instructions to the letter. He experienced many hardships. Many let downs by others who didn't mean him any good whatsoever as he walked faithfully to the cross which would take his life. Yes, this was his passion and praise done God's way. Yet in the very midst of everything taking place in his life. The Lord Jesus Christ remained faithfull

Separated From God

-
 Until this moment you may not have been aware that you were born under a sentence of death. You may think of yourself as a 'good person,' and you feel that God would never condemned you, and only Christ can save you. In Christ's own words the Gospel message is: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."  Our marred nature separates us from God. There are no 'good' people by God's standards. No one can be 'good enough' by his own desire or works to remove this barrier that separates man from God. Imperfect man is on one side of the barrier and perfect God is on the other.  What does it take to get it right with the Father? It's simple; accept the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. His finished works on the cross is all you need. Here's what the manifest Word of God says:  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith,

The Barrier Removed

-
 In order to free us from the slave market of sin, God designed a means by which His perfect standards can be met. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to remove the barrier between God and man. Jesus Christ is unique because He is both perfect God and perfect man. Not only is Jesus Christ human, but He is also just as much God as the Father who sent Him: "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).  When Jesus Christ came to earth to become the God-man, He was born outside the slave market: His humanity was perfect. Because of His unique birth, He alone had no sinful nature. He never committed a sin Himself, and no divine punishment was due Him.  Only Christ was qualified on His own merit to meet the perfect standards of God. Only Christ could purchase our freedom because He was free from sin and outside the slave market. God the Father as the Supreme Judge accepted Him as your substitute. As the only perfect man in history, Jesus Christ chose to judged on the cross for ma
