God’s Word is Eternal

The Bible was, is, and always will be the most important, precious, and valuable book in history no matter how far away our country steers away from it. By valuable, I mean spiritually of course, not materially. It is beautiful and has the words of life. Jesus said in Matthew 24:35 that his words would never pass away and here it is, the year 2023 and guess what? His words have not passed away and they won’t. This piece of history below shows where our country was less than a century ago.  It was written to our armed forces by one of the greatest presidents in our country’s history. Can you just imagine if our leaders had stayed true to God and His Word all down through history? I wonder…..what would our country look like today? But I can’t sit and fret about all that is wrong in the world. Like Solomon said, there is nothing new under the sun. I can only control what I do. And you can only control what you do. And personally, I will always stand for God’s Word above any other words written by any other person. Why? Because His Word holds the answer to the ultimate question, “how do I get to Heaven?” And no matter what happens in this country, no matter what laws pass that are against God’s word, no matter how bad things get, I’m following what my Creator says because He is the one in control, no matter what happens this side of eternity. Now that statement has nothing to do with my love for humankind. I write these things because of my love for humankind. My life is in His hands and no one else’s. So is yours. He decides when everything on this earth is over. I want to be ready when that happens and I want everyone else to be ready also. God is love. Love is truth. Truth is God’s Word. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man (woman) of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

The verse above is my “why” for believing every word of the Bible with all my heart and soul. To me, it is the hub of the entire Bible. 

Thank you for reading!! Dig into your Bible this week!! You will be glad that you do!! I actually had something else written for this week, but this historical document sparked something inside of me. Thanks to the people who posted this document. Several people have posted it, and it made words just pour out of me. 

God’s Plan of Salvation

If anyone ever needs help in learning the truth of the gospel, please reach out and I can help you or put you in contact with someone who can. Below is the plan that God has set forth in His word, for mankind to receive His grace that leads to salvation and an eternity with God in heaven. 

We have to hear His word. (Romans 10:17) 

Upon hearing the message of Jesus, we believe it. (Mark 16:16) 

Then, we confess Jesus’ name before men. (Matthew 10:32) 

Next, we repent of our sins. (Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19) 

Finally, we are baptized into Christ for the remission of our sins. (Acts 2:38, Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:16, Romans 6:3-4, Acts 22:16, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:26-27) After baptism, God adds us to His church. (Acts 2:47)

Then, we remain faithful in our commitment to Christ until death. (Revelation 2:10, 2 Peter 2:20-22)
