He that overcometh

We live in a world today that tells us we are accountable to no one.  That there isn't a Heaven and that we when we die, we are dead and that is it.  However, for those of us who believe in Jesus Christ and God we can obtain an eternal life.  There is a little more to just believing that the exist and we are saved.  We need to make sure our actions back up our thoughts. We can strengthen ourselves by staying close to the lord through scripture study, daily prayer, and going to church.

Pollutions of the world

2nd Peter 20-22 teaches us that it better for us to not have known righteousness than to have known it and choose the world. Heavenly Father has given us a way to be forgiven for our sins.  The atonement is a wonderful gift that we must make sure we take advantage of. so that we can return to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  What we must remember is that when we are forgiven for that sin it is as if nothing happened.  However, if we choose to commit the sin again then we didn't really learn to not repeat the sin again and so we are then held accountable for the original sin and it is a harder path to forgiveness.  We learn to seek out activities that will lead us to living a righteous life and not one that will take us away from having and eternal life.

Three Truths about Jesus Christ

Hebrews 1
There of the truths that we are taught about the Savior Jesus Christ are:
The Throne O' God, is for ever and ever
The lord laid the Foundation of the earth and the Heavens are the works of thine hands
Christ sits at the right hand of God

Timothy 6:7-11

Paul teaches us that we come into this world with nothing and we will leave this world taking nothing with us.  Unfortunately. we need money to live and to survive in this world.  However, we should be careful with how we chose to spend our moneys.  We need to make sure that we seek righteous ways to help others who may be in need, rather than use it for evil. 

Romans 4:19-22

In this set of scriptures Paul is teaching us that we need to follow the example of Abraham and have faith in the lord.  One of the things I think we get caught up on is wanting answers to our prayers immediately.  We live in a world of immediate satisfaction and forget that its not our timing but the lords. Heavenly Father knows our hearts and minds and we have to remember that he loves us.

Romans 1:25-20

In Romans Paul teaches us that we need to show our love for the gospel.  Paul was not ashamed to preach the gospel and to teach the power of that it holds.  Paul goes on to tell us that one of the ways we can preach the gospel is to live by faith.  With the world turning more and more to wickedness, we need to stand up and say Jesus Christ is our Savior and he was sent here to save us, so that we can live with Heavenly Father.  We need to teach love, hope, charity and compassion.
