Psalm 16:11
King James Version
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Is life with GOD fun?
Is it really filled with promises?
Is it really all it's cut out to be?
Yes, and more.
Believers are promised eternal life.
Believers will be part of the Rapture.
Believers will experience true happiness.
We are called to believe in JESUS.
We are called to obey GOD's laws.
We are called to be born again.
We are called to know Scripture.
We are called to share the gospel.
We are called to live by the Bible.
We are called to love GOD.
With everything we've got.
JESUS spoke of this love:
Mark 12:29-30
King James Version
29 And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
JESUS also called us to love each other.
Mark 12:31
King James Version
31 And the second is like, namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
There is none other commandment greater than these.
And yes, living with GOD means we live in all simplicity.
King James Version
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow me.
It doesn't mean we don't get happy.
The curious thing is that when GOD makes you born again, you embrace simplicity.
It becomes second nature to you.
You'd rather focus on GOD, than on things of the world.
Worldly things hold no appeal at all.
SPIRIT teaches you to focus on JESUS.
You begin to know how to really live.
In a way that pleases GOD.
In a way that saves your soul.
In a way that cares for others.
What is life if it is lived for self alone?
Life with GOD will be a life of service.
You don't live for self alone.
There's GOD, and others.
JESUS was clear about things:
love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength
love thy neighbour as thyself
deny himself
take up his cross
follow me
Who better to teach us, than JESUS?
He lived all that He taught.
Nothing is theory.
It's all practice.
That's why GOD sent his Son.
That JESUS may show us how to live.
And how to worship GOD.
Once you're born again, it will be a delight following JESUS.
Everything becomes automatic.
Voluntary.
Magnificent.
There's even no question about it, for SPIRIT will guide you.
You will not even want to sin anymore.
You just can't.
You won't be able to bear displeasing the LORD.
You'd be so shamefaced to do so.
Especially now that you know His laws.
Hebrews 10:26
King James Version
26 For if we sin wilfully
after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Like a dutiful child, you will only want to please the LORD.
Knowing He set the rules for us to live in this sin-filled world.
Joy comes from knowing how to live each moment.
Or in knowing how to love.
And getting things right.
There will be no fear.
Only TRUST in the LORD JESUS.
And living a life of faith.
Where the world tells you to turn this way, SPIRIT teaches you better.
Isaiah 30:21
King James Version
21 And thine ears
shall hear a word behind thee,
saying,
This is the way,
walk ye in it,
when ye turn to the right hand,
and when ye turn to the left.
Scripture -- GOD's WORD -- will fill your heart.
For every question, for every hurt, the Bible has an answer.
Most importantly, it presents what is acceptable to GOD.
All these come from having a life with GOD.
Pray to be born again.
That you may know all these things.
That your own life would be a shining example.
Of how GOD's GLORY can live in you, and through you.
Through His Son, JESUS.
And by the ministrations of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Just so you know, I had great delight in writing this article.
If having 89 blogs and tons of articles are any indication at all.
I just can't stop writing about GOD.
His SPIRIT knew I waited for this a long time.
To finally share ABSOLUTE truth with you.
There is no life more real, more fun, than a LIFE with GOD.
I speak of what I've come to know, in the nearly 47 months GOD made me born again.
Being BORN AGAIN rocks!
Our life is never "on the rocks".
Your marriage will never be "on the rocks" if JESUS rules your life.
Instead, a born again's life is founded upon the "ROCK":
Deuteronomy 32:4
King James Version
4 He is the Rock,
his work is perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is he.
1 Corinthians 10:4
King James Version
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
Never again shall we stray.
Never again shall we be confused.
Never again shall we sin.
We live for JESUS now.
