John 11:25

************************************************** 

How important of a question is this to you? To mean it means a lot, it means that their is life after death. I know that there are several people that do not believe in an afterlife. When you accept Jesus as your savior and Lord of all you are forgiven of your sins and you are reborn pure and true. There are several people who feel this way and do so in the moment then live their following days as if nothing has changed. I have been guilty of this but I am now trying to change and get to know the Lord and his scripture. I believe in a heaven and a hell and I fear for my soul. A soul is the whole being of an individual and the body is just our temple. We have to be soul saved in order to live on with the Lord. If our souls are not saved then we are already dead and we linger on in the afterlife in a trapped world. 

John 10:14-15

************************************************ 

As we walk with Jesus we learn not only of him but he has done for us all. He knows all about us because he only gives us what he thinks we can handle. There are some who have even harder times than us. We just need to remember that everyone is different. But knowing the Lord is the one that unites us all. Jesus laid down his own life for us so that we may be forgiven just like Moses dedicated every thing he had to making the Ark due to the floods even thou other doubted him. God already has a plan for our lives we just have to TRUST that he only has our best interest in sight. No one is perfect we all falter at some point of another. Walking with Jesus and getting to know about him and teaching others is our purpose.   

John 10:7,9-10

Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. ... whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it the full." 

*************************************************

This verse reminds me of the thief being that of a wolf. Wolfs are always terrorizing the sheep and killing them. The sheep are us as disciples of the the Lord.  We go to him for protection and guidance in what we are doing as well as we trust that he will provide with us. The only way for us to have a full life as sheep is to be protected from the wolf (Evil) in a pasture. Which then brings me to another scripture Psalm 23 " The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me lay down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters...." These two verses go hand in hand when it comes to having eternal life with the Lord.

John 8:12

  ************************************************** 

When we give our hearts and spirits to God we become pure of heart. Those who are pure of heart light up the darkness. If there were more true believers than there would less darkness. We each have our weakness but we need to stand strong not only to resist but also strong in the Lord. Once you accept Him as your Savior he forgives you of all the your sins. There are individuals that claim that they know the Lord but do not act in a righteous way. I am guilty of this but I am hoping to improve my relationship and have a better knowledge of His word. There are so many things in this world that are dark and unfaithful. There are also several people that try to deter our relationships I have come to call these people mayhem's. There are often times that some mayhem's have silent actions. We are often unaware of their actions until they are revealed unto us.

John 6:35

*****************************************************

We as humans need food and water to survive. We eat when we are hungry, drink when we are thirsty. We treat Jesus the same way we only think of him when we need him. We need to think of him everyday not just during our low points but also during our high points. The only time that we really stress or celebrate God and Jesus is around Easter and at Christmas time. Just like with food Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is the time that we focus more on what to make. We need to be as passionate about Jesus as we are about food.  

Hebrews 1:1-2

*****************************************************

This verse is so true, God used Moses, John the Baptist and other prophets to get his message across but he saw that this was not as influencing as placing Jesus on earth via Virgin Mary. We as Christians can look at Jesus and his life and see how he lived everyday and see that this is how God wants us to live our lives. In today's world it is very hard to stay true to what one believes due to having a whole bunch of different distractions that can deter our faith. We need to be steadfast and teach others of God's righteous word. Often times you have to ask yourself What Would Jesus Do? I know this is a forever old saying but it is still true today. We need to think about what we are doing and learn to stay true to our beliefs.   

 

John 1:1-2 and 14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. ... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

           Great Verse! I myself have not been a good example of God's word or work but I am trying to make that change. I need to be an example not only for my FRAN's (Friends, Relatives, Acquaintances and Neighbor's) but also unto myself. My spiritual walk has not been the strongest and to me some things in the bible are too confusing but I am trying to understand it a little better and be a testament to those around me. It is like this saying I saw on my friends church "To some people your life may be their only example of the bible." This is so true because there are those who speak God's word but do not abide by it. I am not saying that I am not guilty of this but some are worse than others. Most people do not realize that our actions often speak louder than our words. So we have to be aware of what we are doing and do unto others as we would want done unto us.
