IF GOD PERMIT

If God Permit, we will go onto greater understanding, and where there is greater understanding there is rest for your soul. Be anxious for nothing. Everything is about staying in love with God. How can we grow into more extraordinary things if we do not do the first part? The foundation is love. God so loved the world that He sent His beloved Son into this world to save us from judgment and give us life, true life. Life is in the Son. This is your savior, your best friend, the Prince of Peace, the Son of God, our joy, and the reason the Father has mercy for us. Jesus is our salvation. Staying in his love is so important right now because we are so easily moved by our situation and the situations and circumstances of this life. We are manipulated by TVs and cell phones; we need to silence everything around us and put the Lord in the place of our idols. We cannot leave the principles of the teaching of Christ, we cannot go on to perfection, and we do not have a foundation of turning away from dead works nor repentance of them. Where is the faith toward God? Where is the confidence we have in him? We believe that he is, well so do the demons. Will Jesus find faith in us, the faith toward God when he comes? Scripture for thought Hebrews 6:1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. BSB Hebrews 6:3 And this we will do, if God permits. BSB And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding. NLT And we will do this [that is, proceed to maturity], if God permits. Amplified Bible Psalm 91:1-16 THE FOUNDATION IS LOVE – THE AGAPE – UNCONDITIONAL BECAUSE OF CHRIST'S LOVE. THE FOUNDATION IS CHRIST. KEEP YOURSELVES IN A WALKING TALKING RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. LEAN ON HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART, MIND, AND STRENGTH. HE IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART SAYING LET ME IN ____________ I AM LIFE, I AM YOUR SAVIOR.
