Happy Christmas to all my friends!

Genesis 11:9 God Has Different Plans.

The Lord sent the people everywhere over the whole earth.

We are not at clever as God.
God knows best.

Genesis 9:2-3,6 God loves the whole earth

Every animal of the earth, every bird of the sky, everything that moves on the ground, and all the fish of the sea will be afraid of you. They are given into your hand. Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. I give all (animals) to you as I gave you the green plants.
Whoever takes the life of a man will have his life taken. For God made man to be like Him.

We must look after the earth.
I may not kill anyone.

Genesis 4:7 The Nature of Sin

Well sin is waiting to destroy you. It’s desire is to rule over you but you must rule over it

I must fight against temptation.

Genesis 3 : 17 Because man sinned suffering (pain and sadness) came into the world.

Then he said to Adam because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I told you, “Do not eat from it” the ground is cursed (is going to suffer) because of you.

Psalm 34 : 1,7 Those Who Trust In God Are Happy And Safe

I will honor the Lord at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
Let us praise His name together.
The angel of the Lord stays close around those who fear Him, and He takes
them out of trouble.

Creation

Genesis 1 : 1 Creation
In the beginning God made from nothing the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1: 26 We must Protect Nature
Then God said, Let Us make man like us and let him be head over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every thing that moves on the ground.

Revelation 21 :3-4 The Future Looks Good

God wants to save everyone so that everyone can go to heaven and have this:

See God’s home is with men. He will live with them…. God will take away all their tears. There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All the old things have passed away.

1 Timothy 1:15 Jesus came to save everyone

What I say is true and all the world should receive it. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners from sin.

Jesus is coming, again. Be ready!

Matthew 24:44 2nd Coming of Jesus
You must be ready also. The Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not think He will come.

Matthew 25 : 10,13 The 5 wise and 5 foolish girls
Those who were ready went in with him (Jesus) to the marriage ( heaven). The door was shut . So watch! You do not know what day or what hour the Son of Man is coming.
I must be ready now and all the time.

Acts 27: 23-25 Children of God have hope
Paul said,” I belong to God and I work for Him. An angel of God said to me, “ Do not be afraid Paul. You must stand in front of Caesar (the king of Rome). So take hope men. I believe my God will do what He has told me”
If God has a purpose for me, He will keep me alive

How to become children of God

1. I must believe in Jesus
He loves me.
He is the Son of God and has no sin.
He died on the cross so that I do not have to be punished (that means: go to hell).
2. I must be sorry about my sins
Jesus forgives me and makes my heart clean so that I can go to heaven
3. I must be born again through the Holy Spirit.
Then I’ll be a new person: I will turn away from sin.
