Ladies and Gentlemen, how do we share GOOD NEWS?

I urged you to stay there in Ephesus (Congress) and stop those whose teaching is contrary to The Truth (of the Word of God).

Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of Faith in God. The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with Love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine Faith.

But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.  They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don’t know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.

We know that the law is good when used correctly.

For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is Holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders (like abortions).

The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching that comes from the Glorious Good News entrusted to me by our Blessed God-Jehovah. 

LINK = 1Timothy 1:3-11

.

Dear ones, it is a known fact that it takes NO INTELLIGENCE to CRITICIZE! 

The Apostle Paul, who use to be Saul of Tarsus was dramatically converted to Faith in God as we read in Acts 9:3-31 . He changed his ‘mind’ and changed his circumstances.

We as Believers do not need to engage in “meaningless speculations which don’t help people to live a life of Faith in God!”  The same Constitution – Bill of Rights – Declaration of Independence that protects citizens to express themselves with all manner of hateful evil and angry speech, false accusations and idiotic actions ALSO protects the Believers’ rights to declare the words of Divine Wisdom and encouragement to share the LOVE of Christ Jesus as LORD of our lives.  

Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in 1Timothy 1:12

I Thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do His Work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve Him, even though I used to blaspheme the Name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted His People.

But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief.

Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the Faith and Love that comes from Christ Jesus.

This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it:

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all.

But God had Mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of His great Patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in Him and receive Eternal Life.

All Honor and Glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen One who never dies; He alone is God-Jehovah. Amen!

Amen & Amen!
