About GOD'S Rules & Regulations!

[Jonah2005bt]

These words I share with you, are only to help you see that GOD'S Rules & Regulations were made with HIS Love for us all, to protect us from all the evil & wickedness of this world.

For I have seen the HELL side of the this world & even experienced it! I also had the pleasure to experience GOD'S Rules & Regulations, And can honestly say, that living according to the way of the world - is choosing to live life the hard way, with much unhappiness, unloving & unkind ways.
I have learned that TRULY any kind of worldly way is on the dark side of life. People are unhappy, they feel the kneed put others down, hoping & thinking that by doing so they will benefit in some way. Some people will even stoop as low as to sell drugs to others including children. All for reasons like theses; selfishness, greed, hate & jealousy!

For some people there is so much hate in their lives that they don't even want to live anymore, thinking there is no other solution to end their suffering! But they're wrong! There is a solution! I know because I have found the solution! I too, use to be such a person who didn't want to live anymore. That is, until I found GOD still cared about me & was and still is watching over me! I also did some solo Bible Studying {as well as Bible studying with others}. And I come to learn that GOD'S Rules & Regulations are rules about LOVE, HAPPINESS, KINDNESS & also gentle kind of dicipline.
YES! GOD'S discipline is gentle to those who love HIM & long to live by HIS Rules & Regulations!
Now one may say; "I do not know GOD'S Rules & Regulations, but I do love GOD & Jesus Christ."

Then my answer to that person would be; "pray to The Almighty GOD {Jehovah} & ask HIM {in the name of HIS Son Christ Jesus} to teach you about HIS Rules & Regulations.

James 1:5
5. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
I too, speak, what I have eye witnessed with GOD. John 8:38

Satan is a trouble maker, liar & a murderer! Just as the Bible states it!

*John 8:44 - He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

And now, how I long to be there for The Almighty GOD & HIS Son Jesus Christ, {our Beloved Savior} as I know now, they would be there for me {in any kind of trouble I could be in}!

I also know now that it is The Almighty GOD that we to serve & Worship, not because we love HIM, but, because HE IS GOD our Creator & first Father! But the most amazing thing about our Creator is, HE'S all about 'LOVE'

For Satan is trying to say, that as long as life remains hard on us, then we will quit this love that we have for the Almighty GOD & HIS Son Christ Jesus & will have no desire to worship HIM no longer. We wouldn't want to give up on our family if hard times came our way, right?

So, why should we give up on GOD? Satan is trying his hardest to tear apart our loving relationship with our GOD, The Almighty Father & HIS Son Jesus Christ!
But, as long as we 'stick to GOD'S Rules & Regulations', we will remain safe from Satan's evil temptations & provoking ways! And Satan knows this, too!
And what should we do, when hard times enter into our life & family?

Above all, we should draw closer to GOD & showing love at all times!

For The Almighty GOD is stronger than all & love is stronger than hate! And truth is stronger than a lie!
For GOD is Love, Truth & The Most Powerful of All!!

Amen! Jonah

Great Jonah. I too have lived on both sides of the coin. And God's way is of course the best and is all about love for us. It keeps us from harm. And like you said when difficult times come, we need to draw closer to Him we stick together because we are family. Satan is always lurking around and wants to drive a division between us. Staying in the Word of God and prayer in the name of Jesus helps us to know how to live.

[Amen!]

Yesterday I heard a powerful message from a man preaching on Hillsong TV. I can't remember his name. It was the first time I'd ever watched the program. He said "Our tests give us our testimonies". I can appreciate that statement. I am grateful for both God's negative and positive treasures.

Amen!

 

[Jonah2005bt]

Yes, this is so true. And yet still, so many people over look HIS Rules & Regulations. And go on in life doing things that don't go along with them. Like for example; gambling for money, taking the chance to loose it all - just to hope that they will win it big time! Remember, money {mammon} is the route to all evil, {1 Timothy 6:10} . Jesus said: "You cannot serve God and mammon, no one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other." {Matthew 6:24-34}
True we need money to pay our bills, rent & food & also clothing & other important things in life. But that is where a job, the help of family & friends comes in, (& if need be) even the Church. Jesus, said: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to GOD the things that are GOD'S.'' {Matthew 22:21} "Caesar" today meaning the government, the President all politics & Democrats. When we pay our rent or bills we are "giving to Caesar the things that are Caesar's" And when we live by GOD'S Rules Regulations & Worship HIM morning, day & night, we are giving to GOD the things that are GOD'S, for we are giving ourselves to GOD, we are HIS children.
And the most beautiful thing is; HIS Rules & Regulation teaches us & surrounds us all with love - HIS Love.

God HAS rules, but ALSO promises!!

I've also lived life on both sides of the track and, while I face serious trials that have popped up since I came to Christ, life on this side of the cross is much, much easier than life on the other side.

It is easier on this side because God is with me. "No temptation (trial) has seized you that is not common to man. And God is faithfull; He will not let you be tested beyond what you can bear. And when you are tested, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Cor 10:13).

And 1 John 5:3-4 says, "This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God (Born Again) overcomes the world."

Awesomely said, SpiritLedEdd! And an awesome Scripture you quoted, too!

New King James
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
