Abiding In The Vine!


'Abiding In The Vine.'
John 15:5.
a)  Jesus is the Vine.
b)  We are the Branches.
c)  If we abide in Christ.
d)  If we remain joined to Christ.
e)  As we abide and remain in Christ, He also abides and remains in us.

(Through this QT I want to remain Abiding in the Vine)
---------------
'Need Wisdom?'
James 1:5.
a)  If any of us.
b)  Need Wisdom.
c)  We can ask God for Wisdom.
d)  God gives Wisdom:-
1-Freely.
2-Abundantly.
3-Without reproach.
(Through this Second one I can confidently ask myself if I Need Wisdom)
---------------
Chris.
The Lord Jesus Christ is not just a religion but He is a Person - He is God the Son. The deep desire of God for us is that we might abide and remain in Christ. If we do this, we can be sure that He abides and remains in us. Our God is a Living God, He desires to abide in and with His Children.

1 John 5:4-5.
a)  Everyone who is a Child of God has won the battle over the World system.

(Through this QT I proclaim Victory: The Battle Is Won!)
---------------
'We Are Not And We Are.'
Hebrews 1:39.
a)  We are not, or not going to be.
b)  People who pull back and are destroyed.
c)  People who cower back and are lost.
d)  We are people who:-
1-Believe.
2-Are Saved.
3-Maintain our Faith until the Salvation of our souls is complete.
(This Second one Teaches me Who I Am Not And Who I Am)
---------------
Chris.
When our Battles of life are won, it is not a time for proud and discreet silence. It is a time, first of all, to give Thanks and Glory to God. Secondly, it is also because we are members of God's Family, we are children of God. Thirdly, it is because we Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son Of God.

The Blessed Children Speak!


'The Blessed Children Speak.'
Isaiah 49:20.
a)  The children who were born at a time of sorrow.
b)  They are still grieving.
c)  Their lives changed.
d)  They began to prosper.
e)  Their city had become too small.
(This QT tells me that The Blessed Children Speak: Restoration is possible)
--------------
'Keep Going Forward.'
Hebrews 10:38.
a)  Righteous people live by Faith.
b)  If they turn back.
c)  God will not be pleased with them.
(This Second one encourages me to Keep Going Forward)
--------------
Chris.
If our city has become too small that is surely a sign of God's Blessing. The Lord wants us to sincerely pray about our future if we are living in a city that is too small for us. It could be a sign that God has a new move and plan for our lives. May God continue to Bless our cites and send us forth to do His Will.

A Manifestation Of Grace!


'A Manifestation Of Grace.'
1 Corinthians 15:9-10.
a)  Apostle Paul experienced abundant Grace and he was very much aware of that.
b)  Formerly Paul persecuted and tried to destroy God's Church.
c)  He was who he was by the Grace of God.
d)  He claimed that by God's Grace he was who he was.
e)  God's Grace was not wasted on him, it was not ineffective.
f)  Apostle Paul responded to Grace by working harder than all the other Apostles.

(This QT reveals A Manifestation Of Grace)
--------------
'In Just A Very little Time.'
Hebrews 10:37.
a)  In just a very little while.
b)  He will not wait.
c)  The Coming one will come.
d)  He will not delay.
(Through this Second one my anticipation is enhanced: In Just A Very Little Time)
--------------
Chris.
God's Grace was not wasted on Apostle Paul. He really was totally motivated by Grace. He not only understood Grace well but he also ministered the Truth about Grace well in his Teachings. This is a challenge to me, to appreciate Grace more and to impart the Truth about Grace effectively to other people.

A Practical Love For God!


'A Practical Love For God.'
1 John 5:3.
a)  Means that we obey His Commands.
b)  His Commands are not hard to obey.
c)  They are not too hard for us.
(This QT reveals what is A Practical Love For God)
-------------
Receiving The Promise Of God.
Hebrews 10:36.
a)  We need to be Patient.
b)  We need to be Faithful.
c)  Then we can do what God wants.
d)  This is what it means to do His Will.
e)  We can then receive what God has Promised.
(This Second one Teaches me about Receiving The Promise Of God)
-------------
Chris.
We can receive what God has Promised. This is very clear in God's Word. God's Promises are great and true, but they are not always unconditional. In this case, the Word of God tells us that we need to be patient and faithful to be able to receive the Promises of God.

God Tranforms Cities!


'God Transforms Cities.'
Isaiah 49:19.
a)  The city was:-
1-Destroyed.
2-Demolished.
3-Empty.
4-In ruins.
b)  It will become too small to hold all the people.
c)  It will become crowded.
d)  The destroyers and devourers will be far away.
(This QT teaches me that God Can Transform Cities)
-------------
'A Key To Our Reward.'
Hebrews 10:35.
a)  We should not throw away our bold Faith.
b)  We should not lose our confidence.
c)  They will bring us rewards that are rich.
d)  They will bring us rewards that are great.
(This Second one reveals to me A Key To My Reward)
-------------
Chris.
The City was in ruins. It was in real need of a Transformation, the Lord gave it an amazing transformation. I have read of cities being transformed by the Lord and then they became proud about the transformation and it reverted to the bad situation. I have also read of cities that have been transformed and kept the transformation because they were humble and thankful before the Lord for it. Lord, please transform our cities!

I Want To ... But I Can't!


'I Want To ... But I Can't.'
Romans 7:18.
a)  Apostle Paul knew.
b)  That in his flesh.
c)  That in his human nature.
d)  Dwells no good thing.
e)  There is nothing good.
f)  To will was present with him.
g)  He wanted to do what is good.
h)  He found no means to perform that which is good.
(This QT is a story that I have heard many times: I Want To ... But I Can't)
------------
'Encouraged By God.'
Hebrews 10:32-34.
a)  Hebrews 10:32. After receiving the Light.
b)  Hebrews 10:32. They stood firm in great struggles.
c)  Hebrews 10:32. Even in the face of suffering.
d)  Hebrews 10:33. They were:-
1-Mocked.
2-Treated badly.
3-Made to be alongside other people who were also being treated badly.
d)  Hebrews 10:34. They:-
1-Suffered together with people in prison.
2-Had their property taken from them.
3-Joyfully accepted their persecution.
4-Knew that God had given them things that were:-
A-Better.
B-Lasting.
C-Heavenly.
(This Second one Teaches me what it means to be Encouraged By God)
------------
Chris.
Apostle Paul wanted to do what was good. He wrote of it here in a personal way. This was not instruction it was personal. He struggled with this desire because he sometimes ended up with thoughts and actions that were not good. Even though Apostle Paul was by no means an evil man he struggled with the desire that he had to do what was good.

Three Expressions Of Love!


'Three Expressions Of God's Love.'
1 John 5:2.
a)  Love for God's Children.
b)  Love for God Himself.
c)  Love for God's Word.
(In This QT I see Three Expressions Of God's Love)
------------
'A Terrible Thing.'
Hebrews 10:31.
a)  It is a terrible thing.
b)  It is a dreadful thing.
c)  It is a terrifying thing.
d)  To fall.
e)  Into the Hands.
f)  Of the Living God.
(Through this Second one I acknowledge that here is A Terrible Thing)
------------
Chris.
It is a terrible thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God. When we are in His Hands they are totally in control of our life. This is sometimes what happens to us because the Living God loves us. If we wander out of His Will then one way He brings us back into it is by letting us fall into His Hands. He takes control and restores us.

Look Up And Around!


'Look Up And Around.'
Isaiah 49:18.
a)  It was time for God's People to look up.
b)  It was time for God's People to look around.
c)  It was time for God's People to get up and come back into Fellowship with God and the other True Believers.
d)  The Lord wants His People to have confidence that He Lives.
e)  The Lord's People will become like a beautiful ornament.
f)  The Lord's People will wear them as if they were the Bride.
g)  The Lord's People are the Bride of Christ.
(This QT Encourages me to Look Up And Around)
-----------
'Leave It To The Lord.'
Hebrews 10:30.
a)  Deuteronomy 32:35; Romans 12:19. We know the Lord Who says that Vengeance belongs to Him - He will repay.
b)  Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 50:4. The Lord is the One Who judges people.
c)  This is all according to His Word.
(This Second one Reminds me to Leave It To The Lord)
-----------
Chris.
The Lord wants His People to have confidence that He Lives. There is a very popular Christian song in the Korean Church: Because He Lives I Can Face Tomorrow, Because He Lives All Fear Has Gone. This confidence comes to us as we put into practice basic Christian activities that we know are impressed upon us by the Holy Spirit. We read our Bible; We learn to Pray; We come to Church meetings; We tell other people of what the Lord has done in our lives in such a way as they can understand us.

With The Lord There Is Forgiveness!


'With The Lord There Is Forgiveness.'
Psalm 130:3-4.
a)  Psalm 76:7; Revelation 6:17. If the Lord should mark iniquities. Who could stand?
b)  Isaiah 55:7. With the Lord there is forgiveness.
c)  So that we might Fear Him.
(This Joyful QT reminds me that With The Lord There Is Forgiveness)
-----------
'Irreverence.'
Hebrews 10:29.
a)  Irreverent people deserve Eternal punishment.
b)  They deserve it because they have trampled underfoot the Son of God.
c)  They have profaned the Blood of the Covenant by which they are Sanctified.
d)  They have outraged the Spirit of Grace.
(This Second one reveals Irreverence to me. I want to keep free from it!)
-----------
Chris.
Irreverence is something that sometimes creeps into Church almost unnoticed and it is not until it becomes obvious or rampant that we realise it. It means that we do not Fear the Lord anymore. It means that we have lost our Holy Regard and desire for Jesus. It means that we no longer trust the Blood of Jesus for our Sanctification. It also means that we have deeply grieved the Holy Spirit. No more irreverence please!

Believing That Jesus Is The Christ!


'Believing That Jesus Is The Christ.'
1 John 5:1.
a)  The people who Believe.
b)  That Jesus is the Christ.
c)  Are born of God.
d)  Everyone who loves the Heavenly Father.
e)  Also loves His Children.
(This QT shows me that Believing That Jesus Is The Christ is top priority in my life)
----------
'The Severity Of God.'
Hebrews 10:28.
a)  I thank God for His:-
1-Mercy.
2-Love.
3-Grace.
b)  That is revealed for us in the New Testament.
c)  It comes as the result of Jesus Christ paying the price for the punishment of our sins at the Cross.
d)  Under the Old Covenant, in the Law of Moses.
e)  Anyone who refused to obey the Law of Moses.
f)  Dies without Mercy.
g)  The only condition being that there had to be two or three witnesses.
(This Second one reminds me of The Severity Of God)
----------
Chris.
God is a Good God, God is a Loving God, God is a Faithful God. He strongly desires that His People should experience these attributes of His Personality. All these attributes of God we can experience because of the Salvation that is offered us through the Crucifixion of Christ, in our place, on the Cross of Calvary. He experienced the Severity of the Father on our behalf.

The Destroyers Shall Go Away!


'The Destroyers Shall Go Away.'
Isaiah 49:17.
a)  The sons and the builders shall make haste and come.
b)  The destroyers.
c)  The people who make God's People waste.
d)  Shall go away.
(This QT is a wonderful Promise: The Destroyers Shall Go Away)
----------
'Expectation.'
a)  Hebrews 10:27. Of Judgment.
b)  Genesis 49:10. Of The Coming Sent One.
c)  Psalm 39:2. Waiting for the Lord.
d)  Psalm 62:5. From the Lord.
e)  Luke 3:15. About the identity of John the Baptist.
f)  Luke 21:26. Of what shall come upon the Earth.
g)  Acts 12:11. Of The Jewish people.
h)  Romans 8:19. Earnest expectation of the Creation.
i)  Philippians 1:20. And Hope.
(This Second one reveals to me the reality of Expectation)
----------
Chris.
Every True Believer has the Expectation of the Coming Sent One. We know that we are enjoying and treasuring the Presence of the One already sent - the Holy Spirit. There are so many ways in which the Holy Spirit ministers to us now. We also have the Expectation of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's Powerful Goodness!


'God's Powerful Goodness.'
Romans 2:4.
a)  We should not despise.
b)  We should not disregard.
c)  The Riches of God's:-
1-Goodness.
2-Forbearance.
3-Longsuffering.
d)  Not knowing.
e)  That the Goodness of God.
f)  Leads us to Repentance.
(This QT reveals to me God's Powerful Goodness)
---------
'Quit Wilful Sin.'
Hebrews 10:26.
a)  If we sin wilfully.
b)  After we receive the Knowledge of the Truth.
c)  There no longer remains a Sacrifice for sins.
(This Second one reminds me to Quit Wilful Sin)
---------
Chris.
God's Forbearance! The word means refraining from something. It also means patient endurance. Again it means an abstaining from the enforcement of a right. It also has to do with self-control and patience. The Word speaks about the Riches of God's Forbearance. We need to ever be grateful to God for His Forbearance.

Love And Hate Cannot Be In The Same Heart!


'Love And Hate Cannot Be In The Same Heart.'
1 John 4:20-21.
a)  If someone says that they Love God.
b)  But they hate their brother in Christ.
c)  This person is a liar.
d)  These are the words of Father John, writing to the Church he loves.
e)  He who does not Love his brother, whom he has seen.
f)  How can he Love God Whom he has not seen?
g)  This Commandment we have from God.
h)  If we Love God.
i)  We must Love our brother also.
(This QT teaches me that Love And Hate Cannot Be In The Same Heart)
---------
'The Necessity Of Church Attendance.' (For the True Believer)
Hebrews 10:25.
a)  We should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together.
b)  This is the custom of some Believers, yes even some True Believers.
c)  We need to exhort and encourage one another. (Gossip will not achieve this)
d)  We should do this more and more as we see the day of Christ approaching.
(This Second one exhorts me about The Necessity Of Church Attendance)
---------
Chris.
If we do not Love the people around us, especially in the Church Community. Then, something, somewhere, has gone wrong. It would be highly presumptuous of me to give any examples or make any observations. It is God Who gives the Example, He so loved the World. It is God Who observes everything and everyone. The main point is this: if something, somewhere, has gone wrong, we need to make it good and restore it.

The Consistent Love Of God!


'The Consistent Love Of God.'
Isaiah 49:16.
a)  See. God's People need to see. (in every way)
b)  God has inscribed us.
c)  On the palms of His Hands.
d)  God's People.
e)  Are always in His Thoughts.
(This QT amazes me with The Consistent Love Of God)
--------
'Encouraging Each Other.'
Hebrews 10:24.
a)  Let us consider one another.
b)  We should encourage one another.
c)  To:-
1-Stir up Love.
2-Do good works.
3-Be thoughtful.
4-Do helpful things.
(This Second one teaches me about Encouraging Each Other)
--------
Chris.
The Consistent Love of God is simply amazing! There are times when we forget about the Love of God and other things motivate us. When we are motivated by wrong things we either give up, become bitter or sometimes both. When we are motivated by the Love of God then our life will surely be pleasant and we will Glorify Him and have meaningful relationships with others.

A Purifying Hope!


'A Purifying Hope.'
1 John 3:1-3.
a)  1 John 3:1. We can see what manner of Love the Heavenly Father has given to us in that we should be called His Children.
b)  1 John 3:1. The people of the World system do not know us because they also did not know Him.
c)  1 John 3:2. Beloved, now we are God's Children.
d)  1 John 3:2. It has not yet been revealed what we shall be.
e)  1 John 3:2. We know that, when He is revealed we shall be like Him.
f)  1 John 3:2. We shall then see Him as He is.
g)  1 John 3:3. Everyone who has this Hope in them purifies themselves.
h)  ! John 3:3. Just as He is Pure.
(This QT reveals to me A Purifying Hope)
--------
'God Is Faithful And Reliable.'
Hebrews 10:23.
a)  We need to hold fast.
b)  To the Confession of our Hope.
c)  We should not waver.
d)  God, Who made the Promise, is Faithful and Reliable.
(This Second one assures me that God Is Faithful And Reliable)
--------
Chris.
One of the Assurances that the True Believer has is the Assurance of being a Child of God. This is a very wonderful and yet humbling assurance. It is wonderful in that we can truthfully say that we belong to God. It is humbling because we are yet children, however 'mature' we think that we are as True Believers, the fact is that we are still children, God's Children.

We Love The Lord!


'We Love The Lord.'
1 John 4:19.
a)  We Love the Lord.
b)  Because.
c)  He first loved us.
(Through this QT I Proclaim that I Love The Lord)
-------
'We Can Truly Draw Near To God.'
Hebrews 10:22.
a)  God calls us to come forward and draw near to Him.
b)  With a hear that is:-
1-True.
2-Honest.
3-Sincere.
c)  Having full Assurance of Faith.
d)  Having our hearts sprinkled from a guilty conscience.
e)  Having our bodies cleansed with pure water.
(This Second one gives me confidence that I Can Truly Draw Near To God)
-------
Chris.
This is a very assuring Scripture that tells me I can truly draw near to God. It is a part of the Calling of God for our lives. Before we can do anything in Ministry for and to other people we need first to draw near to God. When we draw near to God it is a time of personal edification and maybe even correction. It easy for us to become spiritually decadent if we do not take time to draw near to God.

The Lord Will Not Forget!


'The Lord Will Not Forget.'
Isaiah 49:14-15.
a)  Zion said that the Lord had forsaken her.
b)  Zion said that the Lord had forgotten her.
c)  The Lord exclaimed about the nursing child, can she forget that child?
d)  Will she not have compassion on the son of her womb?
e)  They may forget.
f)  The Lord will not forget His People.
(This QT reminds me that The Lord Will Not Forget)
-------
'Jesus Christ - Our Great High Priest.'
Hebrews 10:21.
a)  We have.
b)  A Great High Priest.
c)  Over the House of God.
d)  His Name is Jesus Christ.
(This Second one affirms to me regarding Jesus Christ - Our Great High Priest)
-------
Chris.
People forget. We are weak and human beings, there is no person on this Earth who is perfect. I discover that as I grow older I forget more. My weakness is often an embarrassment to me. There is no joy in being a forgetful person. Even a mother may sometimes forget her child, yes, it is possible! But God will never forget us.

A Key To This Reality!


'A Key To This Reality.'
2 Corinthians 5:16-17.
a)  Apostle Paul taught his Ministry Team not to regard any person above another, not to consider another's flesh.
b)  Even the Relationship with Christ had become different for many.
c)  It was no more according to the flesh.
d)  If we are in Christ.
e)  Old things pass away.
f)  All things become new.
g)  This inclines my thought another way - that a "New Creation" in Christ is most strongly linked to His Ascension.
(This QT exposes for me A Key To The Reality)
------
'A New And Living Way.'
Hebrews 10:20.
a)  There is a new Way.
b)  There is a living Way.
c)  Jesus Christ has consecrated this Way.
d)  Through "the veil". (That means His Flesh)
(By this Second one I am reminded of A New And Living Way)
------
Chris.
For the Professing True Believer this is a most important part of their life. They are able to positively answer the question that is hinted at here by Apostle Paul: "IF we are in Christ." It is the "if" that changes our lives if we know that we are in Christ. We can answer Paul in a positive way: "Yes, I am in Christ."

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear!


'Perfect Love Casts Out Fear.'
1 John 4:18.
a)  There is no fear in Love.
b)  Perfect Love casts out fear.
c)  Fear involves torment.
d)  The person who fears.
e)  Has not been made perfect in Love.
(This QT reminds me that Perfect Love Casts Out Fear)
------
'The Purpose Of Holy Boldness.'
Hebrews 10:19.
a)  If we have Holy Boldness then we know that we have it.
b)  We can enter the Holiest Place. (Of Worship)
c)  By the Blood of Jesus Christ.
(This Second one reveals to me The Purpose Of Holy Boldness)
------
Chris.
If we are living in fear it proves that we have not been made Perfect in Love. This Message was written by Father John to the Church, the True Believers that he loved so much. This was not written to non-Believers or to nominal "Christians". It is very obvious from the Words of David, Jesus and John that God does not want us to live in fear - it really is not good for us to live in fear.

The Result Of God's Comfort And Compassion!


'The Result Of God's Comfort And Compassion.'
Isaiah 49:13.
a)  The Heavens shout for Joy.
b)  The Earth rejoices.
c)  The Mountains burst into song.
d)  Because the Lord comforts His People.
e)  Because the Lord will have Compassion on His Afflicted Ones.
(Through this QT I can see The Result Of God's Comfort And Compassion)
-----
'One Sacrifice Is Sufficient.'
Hebrews 10:17-18.
a)  The Lord says that our sins He Will remember no more.
b)  The Lord says that our lawless acts He Will remember no more.
c)  When these wrong things have been forgiven.
d)  Sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
(The clear Teaching of this Second one tells me that One Sacrifice Is Sufficient)
-----
Chris.
The Lord will have compassion on His afflicted ones. He has so many afflicted ones that really need His Compassion so I thank the Lord for this Promise of His. Often His Compassion is the major thing that these Afflicted Ones need. We sometimes try to make "Ministry", especially "Personal Ministry" more complicated than we need to. I question when we do this, who are we really doing it for? It is the Lord's Compassion.

The Example That Christ Gave To Husbands!


'The Example That Christ Gave To Husbands.'
Ephesians 5:25-27.
a)  Ephesians 5:25. Love our wives in the same way that He Loves the Church.
b)  Ephesians 5:25. Husband should give himself for her.
c)  Ephesians 5:26. Help her to be holy and pure by sharing the washing of the Word together.
d)  Ephesians 5:27. That she can be a Believing wife who is:-
1-Radiant.
2-Holy.
3-Blameless.
(This QT teaches me about The Example That Christ Gave To Husbands)
----
'The Result Of The Covenant God Makes With Us.'
Hebrews 10:16.
a)  It is very clear, this... is the Covenant.
b)  It stands from a set time in the past.
c)  God puts His Laws into our hearts.
d)  God writes His Laws on our minds.
(This Second on gives me understanding of The Result Of The Covenant God Makes With Me)
----
Chris.
A Believing wife is a very precious treasure for her husband. Through her life and lifestyle she honours her husband. She is a Holy Woman of God who stands firm in the Truth. She does not get involved in the gossip that so easily spreads around the Church. Relationships with other women that are based on sharing gossip are very unhealthy.

a)  God's Love is fulfilled in us.
b)  So that on the Day of Judgment.

(This QT teaches me about: Being Identified With Jesus)
--------------
'Just By One Sacrifice.'
Hebrews 10:14.
a)  By One perfect Sacrifice.
b)  Jesus has perfected forever.
c)  Those people who are being made Holy.
(This Second one amazes me: Just By One Sacrifice)
--------------
Chris.
I really thank God for the fact that I am Being Identified With Jesus. This Identification is a very wonderful and meaningful part of life for the True Believer. This means for the Glory of God, we can have a living testimony day by day. When the Church is filled with people who know that they are identified with Jesus, that will be a spiritually healthy Church.

They Shall Come From Afar!


'They Shall Come From Afar.'
a)  Isaiah 49:12. Those people who had been in prison and darkness.
b)  Isaiah 60:4. The sons of God's People.
c)  Habakkuk 1:8. The Babylonian cavalry.
d)  Isaiah 10:3. A storm on the Day of Punishment.
(This QT reminds me that They Shall Come From Afar)
--------------
'One Single Sacrifice.'
Hebrews 10:10-13.
a)  Hebrews 10:10. It is by the Will of God.
b)  Hebrews 10:10. By the Sacrifice.
c)  Hebrews 10:10. Of the Body of Jesus Christ.
d)  Hebrews 10:10. Once for all time and people.
e)  Hebrews 10:11. Day after day every Old Testament Jewish Priest stood and performed his duties and sacrifices.
f)  Hebrews 10:11. Those sacrifices could never take away sins.
g)  Hebrews 10:!2. Jesus Christ offered for all time one Sacrifice for sins.
h)  Hebrews 10:12. He then sat down at the Right Hand of God.
i)  Hebrews 10:13. Since that time He waits.
j)  Hebrews 10:13. Until His enemies shall be made a stool for His Feet.
(This Second one teaches me the absolute power of One Single Sacrifice)
--------------
Chris.
This is such Amazing Grace. Through one single Sacrifice we are made New Creatures and made free from the power of sin. Through one single Sacrifice we can experience reconciliation between God and ourselves as well as ourselves and others. Through one Single sacrifice we can have a new beginning in Life.

It Is Not Just A Misunderstanding!


'It Is Not Just A Misunderstanding.'

-------------
Chris.
It is after sincere repentance that people can come to the Knowledge of the Truth. This is specifically true in the Fellowship of True Believers. If we need to repent, and especially if we know that we need to repent, we cannot come to the Knowledge of the Truth as God wants us to have it, until we come to the place of repentance first.

We Trust The Love Of God!

d)  They will follow spirits that lie and deceive.

(This Second one reminds me that This Happens Today)
-------------
Chris.
God lives in the people who live in Love. It means that, as True Believers, if we want to have confidence that God lives in us, then we should live in Love. It is not easy for everyone to live in Love. There are so many experiences in Life, including mine, that would cause me to stop living in Love. I need to overcome those experiences speedily with God's Help, so that I can live in Love.

I am sure that God is very pleased when we reveal obedient actions, especially those that are in subjection to Him. Our thoughts, however, are an invisible world that no one else can see, even the people closest to us. I am sure that obedient thoughts are also very pleasing to God. Surely those people who have a healthy fear of the Lord will also have obedient thoughts.
