Welcome to a study in the book of Ephesians!

I'm so glad you decided to join me! God's Word is life to us! It is our instruction manuel for life. The Bible contains the "ABC's"of Christian living. Many times we struggle and struggle to live a godly life. God doesn't want you to struggle, but He does require us to "work out our salvation with fear and trembling". That just means work out that walk with Him individually. Figure out what to do and then do it! He has given you the answers in His book of books - the Bible! Let's discover what it is saying to you. Let the Holy Spirit teach you! By the way, you must be born again to understand this book.
How do you get "born again"? In John 3, Jesus says you must be born of the Spirit. That means your Spirit needs to be revived, brought to life. Only Jesus can do that!Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life". As a matter of fact, He also said that there was one way to the Father. That way was through Him. He wasn't just a prophet or good man. He is the Son of God. God created you. God loves you. God wants you to have a relationship with Him. How? One way. Believe. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe that He died on the cross to delete your sin and get you to a place where you can know God here on earth and see Him face to face when you die. That's it. Do it today!

Oh yes. Please comment on the posts! I would love to hear what God has revealed to you about Genesis! Let the journey begin!

Unhappy Lawgivers

Have you ever known someone so full of laws (for themselves and others) that they seem kind of miserable? Sometimes it comes from traditions and traditions are hard to break. Jesus broke tradition!!! He set tradition on it's ear and got crucified for it (but He rose again!). Anyone, not just Christians, can put others under a law. Sometimes, laws when used to control behavior, are the ones we want to break! How do we fix this??? More laws? No! Freedom from laws! What? That can't be right. Yes. That's actually God's idea....... and He's always right. The Jews in Galatia struggled with the idea of this freedom. It's hard for our brains to wrap around the idea that my heart, if submitted to God, will guide me. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to actually live inside of us to help us live this life. I never heard much about the Holy Spirit when I was young, but He is the third Person of the Godhead and a must have to successfully live life - the life God has for you. Remember - God's life for you is GOOD! Let His Word richly dwell in you and you will do the right thing. That's freedom!
