Bible Devotions with UW

Free from condemnation!



Dear Friends,

Do you feel that the reason why you don't come to God in prayer is because you feel condemned? Condemned because you've acted wrong, done wrong, have not live up to standard that's pleasing to God? Whatever is the reason, you just feel condemn.

I would like you to ignore that voice of accusation. Father God have specifically told me that the reason why people are not coming to Him is because they've accepted that voice of condemnation.
I'll have you know that, THAT voice did not come from the Father.

THIS is the voice is the voice of the Father:

Romans 8:1-2 (NIV) - Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

John 6:37 (NIV) - All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

God will never stop you from coming to Him no matter what you've done. And that is the truth.

The words in the Bible, in the light of the new testament, they are his official voice.

We need to come to God in prayer everyday so that we can receive help and grace from our Father in Heaven.

He is your Father who He sent his son to die in your place to bring you back to relationship with Him.
It defeats the purpose of sending Jesus if truly the reason for your standing before Him depends on what you've done in justification for your life.

Now that you know this truth. Don't let anyone rob you of this truth, not yourself not the devil nor any preachers.

Come to God as you are! Your heavenly Father waits you!

God Bless!

its that time of the year again, I'm curious, how many of u here celebrate christmas as christians?

Ahh don't get caught in the spirit of legalism.

I'm of the opinion all Christians should celebrate Christmas.

just asking. my church is againts christmas celebration.

What church are you from? Jehovah witness?

Have you read the book of Colossians?

Freedom From Human Rules

16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

the church im attending is true jesus church

I don't understand

ok, based on what i read i believe this true jesus church is a cult church,

why is that so because their statement of faith stated Jesus as the only true God, they does not believe in the apostle creed either

God is is a Triune God, God the father, The Son and the Holy Spirit............

my suggestion is find a small church first maybe those traditional type of church

a cell group shouldn't be too big i think the number they wanted is right maybe the way they implemented it is wrong, if you are not comfortable with DUMC there is always other church open for you

If you afraid of them backstab you, just ignore them if you know you are right why bother about other comments about you, just start all over again

then it's obvious you are lacking of public relation skills ... why fahmi ? why don't you wear mask / being pretender with another church member

you need a church for your special friend right ?

Why your church against christmas celebration?

It means, don't let yourself get caught in the spirit of legality in things pertaining to eating, drinking or celebrating festivals, don't let people judge you by what you do or don't do. (Colossians 2:20-21)
It can apply to any practical matters in our daily lives. (dos and don'ts). I'm talking about our general human pursuit in life and not on what is sinful like lust, etc.

We are saved by the work done by Christ not by our do's and don'ts.

Whether we celebrate Christmas or not, it doesn't affect our salvation, does not save us, neither does it disqualify us.
We can celebrate Christmas if we want to, and the Bible even says in support of that; don't let the words of man or the traditions of man, condemn you. (Colossians 2:16)

Even though people say say it's related to winter solstice a pagan celebration, or the date is not 100% accurate, it's alright.

Why?

Because on Christmas day, Christians celebrate in remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ and not any pagan gods. There are no elements of paganism in the activities of Christmas.
If somebody wants to say anything about it, refer to chapter 2 in the book of Colossians.

Whether the date is accurate or not, is immaterial because nobody knows for sure what is the exact date. What is important is that the world needs to know there's a messiah born in a manger 2000 years ago and he came to save all of us. This is the message of Christmas.
