The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 538

Today’s Kick -Start! Psalm 119  161 Princes persecute me without a cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your word. 162 I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure. 163 I hate and abhor lying, But I love Your law. 164 Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous judgments.

1 John 4:7-11(CJB) There is a Spirit of Truth and a spirit of error.

7 Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. 8 Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. 9 Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. 10 Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah (propitiation) for our sins. 11 Beloved friends, if this is how God loved us, we likewise ought to love one another.

JESUS CHRIST: He IS the same Yesterday, He IS the same Today, for Forever, IS God!

Some bible scholars and teachers today do not like using the word ‘atonement’ a word as it is used in the Old Testament as a temporary covering for sin. A more preferred word ‘propitiation’ used in the New Testament to reveal that the sacrifice of God’s Son for the SIN of the world a is permanent once for all event in God’s Will and Plan for whosoever will TRUST the Gospel of the grace and love of God. Jesus in His humanity covered (atoned, and once for all) your sin and mine with the sacrifice of His life for the sins of ALL people. IN THIS IS LOVE, not love of a human kind, but of the LOVE which is a God kind.

Jesus not only died in His humanity for our sin, but in doing so, He also taught us how to LOVE in accordance with God’s will and plan for us. He replaced our sin with His love which comes from God. God was pleased with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, if He were not, The Power of God the Holy Spirit would not have raised the body of Jesus to life again, You and I would still abide in the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of human life. 1 John 2:17 – the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will and plan of God abides forever.

In this, is the definitions of the LOVE of God and the LUST of the world – God’s love is NOT found in the greed of the eyes, nor is it found in satisfying the flesh, Nor in the desires of the sinful pride of life. God’s love is found in ONE Child of God—Be of Good Cheer (Jesus said) I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. John 16:33 – These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” And 1 John 4: 4 You, children, are from God and have overcome the false prophets, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
