♥Love of God♥Charity♥

Dec. 31st, I preached for the first time. For those of you keeping up with my blog, I am going to show what I preached on. :D

♣God's Love♣

I preached out of I Cor. 13:1-4. There through out the passages,
The word Charity is mentioned. For those of you who don't know
what Charity means; It means "to love".

*thought- (1) The most quoted verse on love is-
"For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him, should not
perish but have everlasting life."

-most preachers use this verse to try to win lost souls to the Lord.

(2) The most misquoted verse in the Bible on love states-
"God is love"

-Now you hear this stated alot when people are trying to justify for
the wrong lifestyle their living.

*But the Bible says " God hates the workers of iniquity." It also says "God hates sin"


•Number (1) and Number (2) are the same thing, with two different view points•


[♣] When I think of God's Love, 3 things come to mind[♣]

1.)It Is The Reason Jesus Died John 3:16

God loved us enough to send his Son to die for us. Just so we would have the choice
to get saved. He did it for a CHANCE that we might get saved. That's what blows my
mind. If you ask most men today to send their son to die, so that someone might be
saved one day...what do you think they would say?? No. But that's why I serve the
God I serve and not any other.☺

2.)It Is The Remedy For Sin Romans 6:23

Here; I turned to Romans 6: 23.

*Romans 6:23- "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Sin owes a payment-: The only hope a sinner has is in the Death of Christ.

*Romans 5:8- " But God commendeth His love torward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Everyone is going to hell unless you turn to God in earnest prayer, and ask him to come into your heart and forgive you for your many sins, and if you are sincere and turn from your old life, You can be saved.!


3.)It Rebuilds Saints-

May I ask, what makes: Drunks want to turn away from drinking
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Drug Addicts turn from drugs & not want to see them again
•••••••••••••what rebuilds a broken family? ...I could go on and on. There's one simple answer-----------God's Love!!

God's Love can over come anything. God used my Nanny to show me that<< She used to wake up every morning at 4 or 5 and start praying for every member in our church and family. I honestly think she is the one thing besides God that has held my whole family together. She is a great Christian lady and testimony of how Christians should live.


[♠] It's a shame God loved us enough to die for us and we don't love him enough to live for him[♠]


-We should all be thankful for God's love...if it wasn't for His love we wouldn't be here today-♥
