My Latest Testimony: To Hope In God Is Priority

My Latest TestimonyAug 15, 2008 9:00 PMCategory: Faith
In Christ we want to know more of the Father through revelation of the Son in the Holy Spirit. Scripture reveals Christ within as we read of the Gentle Savior and make the heart connection to commit and abandon all to follow this Risen Christ Jesus. Having confessed we are sinners and having been saved by grace thereafter we worship God giving all the glory to Him. Kingdom of God principles Jesus taught in the Parables give us cause to reflect and apply to our lives. By a new and living way we draw near to God through the Blood of Christ in the New Covenant. His Body was Riven for us that we might be made whole.
Have you met this Friend in person? There is a song called, "I am the Friend of God,... He calls me Friend!!!!" ...It goes, "Who am I that You are thinking of Me, that you love me..." I'm sorry excuse me folks, but I get emotionally stirred when I think in awe how God can be my friend. And He is, for I'm born from above. In heaven I will never think a wrong thought and I'll be able to walk through walls and be completely free of this body's limits. Scientists say we will use less than 10% of our minds in this earthly life but think how it will be then when God gives us minds that will work/function 100%! Light travels at 186,000 miles/hour and we might move then at the speed of thought instead that fast from one end of the universe to the other in the service of God! If distances that great are measured in years, light travels at its speed, God made quite a wonder for us in this planet's preservation considering how neglected we are from the violent forces of stars forming and destroying themselves in other galaxies and the countless uninhabitable environments foreign to us. God gave us life and counts on us to be reborn to an Abundant Life in His Son, the King of Kings, Christ Jesus. "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, a bulwark never failing, He our helper amidst..."
