Please don't turn away just because you see bible vs below.
This is important and it relates to what is currently going on. I will also post this in the prayers thread. But I want to make sure you all see this because I care very deeply about what it going on. You are all in my prayers daily!
Everytime I hear people talking about the bible they are always either talking about:
Old Testament
Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)
Revalations
Is that true for you as well? Most of the time, say about 90% of the time this is the reference made when speaking about God or anything in the Bible, the Word of God.
But did you know that there are books in the Word of God that are addressed DIRECTLY to US BELIEVERS today and now and since the day of Pentecost?
Check it out for yourself. Each book from Romans through II Thessalonians is addressed in the first chapter opening or salutation verses. Look for yourself. It totally blew my mind when I first saw that and wondered why in all my life of going to different churches I was never taught that. God speaking directly to me?? I want to know what He is saying! Right? Well go at it if you're interested - it will be the biggest RED PILL you will have ever swallowed!
They follow a certain pattern as well - doctrine, reproof & corection (II Timothy 3:16). Romans is doctrinal - instruction in Righteousness. The first book addressed to the Church of Christ. It is basically the "Magna Carta" for believers - mans indictment and what his judgment should be, but instead we receive God's Grace, Mercy and Love!
Below is part of the first chapter - just tell me this is not exactly what we are seeing right now with the people under indictment!! This is Paul speaking to the Church in Christ (read the first 15 vs if you need to blueletterbible.com)
Romans 1:16-32 KJV -
(16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
(17) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
(19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
(20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
(29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
(30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
(32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
