The Law

In the past, I've posted many blogs concerning the law of God. Although, the Law is important, and we should follow it, we cannot obtain our salvation through the law. No matter how good we are, we will never be sinless and because we always sin, we can never fulfill the law.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Romans 3:23

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Galatians 5:4

Knowing that all men are sinners, God sent his son to die for our sins. And in accepting his amazing grace, we are saved. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have salvation. All you have to do is accept.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Greed

Our lives in this world can revolve around worldly things. Money, food, clothes, or power, these things can all make us greedy. We as humans only want more and more. We put materials first in our lives, only wanting more. We don't put God first in our lives, but we put money and power instead. Greed and desires should not rule our lives, or be first in our lives. The first place and most important place in our lives is reserved for God. We should not try and replace God's rightful place with something else.


A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who
hates bribes will live.

Proverbs 15:27

A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in
the LORD will prosper.

Proverbs 28:25

The Lord has giving us many blessings. Let us accept them and do not be greedy. Praise him and thank him for all the blessings and the salvation he has given us. It is very hard to resist greed. Everyday we dream of a new phone or new car. Let us be grateful for the things we have now. We have what we have because God gave them to us. There is a reason He gave these things to us. Use them for his glory.

And when we accept Jesus's amazing grace, all the things and all the power we need is given to us.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well.

Jeremiah 17:33

Wow guys!
Good job!!
We all did so well in the name of the Lord!

If it wasn't because of Jesus, we wont get to express our talents
to the world.
If it wasn't because of Jesus, we wont even get to practice our dances
together!

May God Bless You All

Merry Christmas!

Forgiveness

We are often wronged by strangers and even those who are close to us. We ourselves harm others as well. We often get angry at those who offend us and hold grudges against them, but we should not do this. Forgiving those who wrong us is not easy but we have to try our best because it is the right thing to do and pleases the Lord.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:14-15

We should forgive others just as God forgives us everyday. We should also forgive ourselves for mistakes we've made. Be kind and compassionate to one another and forgive because you want to and not because you have to.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32
