AND BEHOLD A LAWYER ASKED ""TEACHER WHAT SHALL i DON TO ENHERIT ETERNEL LIFE?
He said to him, What is written in the law?"
So he answered and said, "you shall love the LORD your GOD with allyour heart, strength, all your soul,and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself."
I think this especially important as we come upon Christmas. While we tend to worry about whether or not somebody will like our gift, remember that its important we give it in Jesus name. Remember if someone gives us something we are not crazy about, that they gave it to us with love, and we need to love them back. And most of all, lets remember those that have no money for christmas, and get nothing at all. May they recive our prayers, and we love them in Christ name.
i agree, great points! i like the scripture too. I was just meditating earlier about that scripture, also pslam 15- correlates with that scripture somewhat, loving God will all your heart, soul, mind, loving your neighbor as you love yourself was right up there with that commandment. When we direct that towards Christmas then presents do not seem all that important, so many of us give gifts when all that most people want from us is our time
May God Bless you today,

Thank you for that reading. It is something to think about just before Christmas. This year I have told people the only gift I want from them is the gift of themselves. Just to sit have a cup of tea, go out to lunch, just be together. We tend to have so much material stuff that I just want to have a part of them.

WHAT IS SALVATION? HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
MATTHEW 1:20 & 21 20.)
But while he thought on these things behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived of her
is of the Holy Ghost. 21.) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

THIS BOOK IS CALLED THE HOLY BIBLE! This
book tells you about God and Jesus! About creation and Salvation! This
book tells you how to live, what the rules in life are, and how much
God loves you! Start with the New Testament because the Old Testament
is for old timers who have the New Testament memorized in their hearts!
27.) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28.) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

HEBREW 8:1&2 1.)
NOW of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an
high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty
in the heavens; 2.) A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

1 JOHN 3:1-3 1.) BEHOLD what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be
called the sons of God: Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it
knew him not. 2.) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth
not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that , when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3.) And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

I
have been thinking about how important it is for all of us to know the
New Testament really well, and then later the Old Testament. So I
believe it would be useful if we did homework through out the summer,
and next winter also. I will from time to time give you suggestions on how to do this!

1st
suggestion: Buy index cards and a index container such as a recipe box
or shoe box. Write one bible verse on each index card. Perhaps one
bible verse a week, and than memorize the verse you choose for that
week. Index cards are handy to help you memorize and easy to organize.
When you have memorized one bible verse, start on the next one.
