Titus2-1-15
"And to be subject to their husbands."
Ladies, does that seem like a hard thing to do? If you do, try this one on for size.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the WORD, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without spot or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. (Ephesians 5:25-33)
Let's face it, none of us are very lovable at times. It's easy to love somebody that is giving us everything we want and need physically, sexually, and is beautiful or handsome, because they're so young and radiant. But when we get older and aren't quite so attractive anymore, and are disagreeable. It's not that easy anymore, unless of course, you were really in love with your mate in the first place and not just in lust with them. However if we look at one another as we are, in God's eyes, because brothers and sisters, God has made us perfect in his sight. We should also see one another as perfect and holy.
With God all things are possible, even the impossible. Is that good news or what?
Check out verse 9, teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything. Does it say to stage a revolt, go on strike, refuse to work, fight for your freedom or run away? No it does not. Over half the world's population were slaves to somebody at that time in history. In fact, all of Israel were slaves of Rome, many other countries were as well.
It's all part of world history. Many Black people in America, don't seem to be able to get over the fact that when their forefathers came to America, they were slaves. Guess what, they were slaves in Africa before they got here. But they never mention that fact. They were actually slaves to other black Africans, but many of them hate white people because some of them were bought from black people and sent to America. White Christian people in America fought for them, and freed them at the risk and in many cases at the cost of their own lives, to set them free. Hundreds of white people died for their freedom, and they blow that off? How have they chosen to thank white people for setting them free? They want to punish the children and grandchildren that fought and died to set them free, how weird it that? Many Irish, the Chinese, as well as Italians and others were slaves when they arrived in America. But blacks are the only ones making a big deal out of it. They don't seem to be able to get past it. Not all, but the majority and politicians are taking advantage of it and are using it to create division. These things shouldn't be, we are all children of the same God, even Jesus who created us spiritually alive through our faith in HIM. All born in the image of Adam. Spiritually dead an in need of life. We've all been given spiritual life through FAITH IN JESUS, making us ALL ONE in Christ!
Notice if you will, God isn't telling those people to fight for their freedom, but rather submit yourselves to your masters. Because you maybe able to bring your master to Faith in God as well. If you aren't honest, and trust worthy how could that make your masters want to become as you are, a child of the living God?
We have one job, and I know it doesn't seem that important when you're young and the things of this world are clamoring for your attention. But it is the most important thing in anybodies life, with eternal consequences.
We who have Faith in Jesus are called to be ambassadors for Christ, not to see how much money and power we can attain while we're here. But to help others find Salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ.
God hasn't called anybody to become religious. Religion is man's attempt to reach up to God, to earn favor with God.
But we who are in Christ realize, Salvation is all about what Jesus has done for us, and NOTHING to do with what WE are doing for God. Because being God, there is absolutely NOTHING we can do for God, he can not do for himself far better than anything we can even dream or imagine. God needs NOTHING from us, but has in fact given us all things, everything we need for Life and Godliness, has already been given us through our knowledge of HIM.
Does anybody remember, Jesus telling Peter, go to the Sea of Galilee, throw out your line and from the first fish you catch, open his mouth and you will find a gold coin, use that to pay the temple tax. (Matthew 17:27)
Yet people go to a pretend church which is really just a club, and pay tithes and offerings to man, thinking they are doing God a service, because they don't understand. God has given us the money we have, and it wasn't a loan you need to feel obligated to repay with a crumb you're willing to part with, and that will square your debt.
We were dead in trespasses and sins and without God in this world, but God made us alive in Christ, he forgave us ALL our sins, and made us his very own children. We owe Jesus our very lives. Not just 40 minutes of our time on any given day of the week, and the big bonus of dropping a dollar in the offering plate when it's passed every ten minutes while you're there.
We belong to Jesus, he doesn't want us engaged in some kind of religious activities, that makes us feel good about ourselves. He wants a RELATIONSHIP with his children. He lives in us if we actually belong to him. He wants us 24/7/365. Real Christianity isn't an activity that takes place in some building. Whether it's on a Sunday or a Saturday once a week for 40 to 45 minutes, or only on Resurrection Day or Christmas, or if it happens every time the door open. While we sing feel good songs to edify ourselves on some kind of an emotional high. That isn't worship.
God hasn't called us to club membership. He has called us to himself. We are his children. He doesn't want your money, MAN does. He hasn't called you to church, if we are in him and he in us, WE ARE THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST IN THIS WORLD. We as his children were told to go to people, because we are Christ's ambassadors to a lost world. We have the information that the world needs to obtain LIFE.
Study your Bible at HOME, so you may learn what God wants you to know, by renewing your mind with TRUTH, so you will be thoroughly furnished with truth so you can feed the hungry and starving people in this world. Not with hamburgers but with the WORD of LIFE. People are starving to death because of a lack of knowledge about the Love of God. Any godless Hollywood type that belongs to satan can buy somebody a hamburger, God's not called us to be Hamburger Helpers? NO, but Christ Ambassadors as though God we're making his appeal through us, because he is! And if you know God and his word, you'll have something worth sharing with others? Hopefully you're not starving for truth yourselves?
Come out of man's church, and be who you are, the Body of Christ. It's the Holy Spirit of God that leads us into ALL truth, by reading his WORD which is TRUTH. If you want to feed the hungry, maybe you should take a bite occasionally yourself? But people want to sit in a building someplace and be lied to by professional liars, instead of having a real Relationship with the Living God.
No, I'm not scolding you, I'm merely trying to get you to open your eyes to TRUTH, JESUS IS TRUTH.
People seem to be real confused about what real worship is, this is what worship looks like:
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your BODIES as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your TRUE AND PROPER ACT OF WORSHIP. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, PLEASING and PERFECT WILL.
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12)
------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES -------------------------
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ, FOREVER! Through Faith in Jesus!
10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so they might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
