I agree and even some times I think that I don't have as much faith as Peter. For Peter got out of the boat and did walk towards Jesus. And though he denied that he knew Jesus, he did fallow, where the others fled. Some days my faith is like Peter's and then some times its like Thomas's. Thanks Pule Radase for sharing!
When he had to walk Peter sight showed him the impossible of the journey, same to us today We are like Peter with little faith.
How little is our faith when we are suppressed by poverty and inequality and we have to walk through pain and injustice?
We see the situation it's walking in the waters, We see it like Peter and we sink in deeper into poverty we Sink deeper into that inquality because we are afraid to walk afraid to stand because little is our faith that I can, God is the way, God is the life and God is the truth, even though I shall walk in the valley of death I don't fear no evil at all for I walk by faith not by sight, I see it all but I know like Daniel my God is alive by faith not by sight. How little is your faith Peter? How little is your faith?
My comment is this, if one dies in sin, there are no more chances.
Today is the day of salvation.Without faith it is impossible to please God. We walk by faith, not by sight. You get close to God by having faith. Without faith, you will not make it.
I will say this, if you are not saved after you die, there are no more chances.
Many people are living in error in reading the bible.
Paul is talking to the saved people/churches that came from the book of Acts.
Starbux....i disagree with you..1 st Cor.15:19...If in this life only we have hope in Christ we are of all men most miserable.....And Rev. 20:12....Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire....Which is that baptism of the H.G. and fire....The gift of God...And God is no respector of persons....As our God is a consuming fire....That is gonna consume all and everything not of him....ya gotta remember what Jesus said i come not to destroy mens lives but to save mens lives....If i be lifted up I will draw all men unto me....All Men...In Adam we all died but in Christ we will all live....I was found of them that sought me not and made manifest unto them that asked not after me...Roman 10 :20...kjv....I'm talking about under this New Covenant Jeremiah 33:34.....I know that this is a hard pill to swollow...But we have to remember that While we were yet sinners Christ died for us....This is why I see the blood being applied to every sinner in the end...
....It wd make God a hypocrite if he applied the curse and stain of 1st ADAM TO ALL MEN NO EXCEPTIONS...But not apply the blessings and blood of Christ That 2 nd ADAM to every sinner....Ya see what i am saying....And thats what Jesus was saying when he said i come not to destroy mens lives but to save mens lives....Remember he rebuked James and John when they wanted to call down a literal fire on the Samaritans saying you know not what manner of spirit you are of.... Luke 9 :55....He does not want to put us in a literal fire but in a spritual fire....As our God is a consuming fire but God is spirit...Thus a cleansing fire...AS malachi 3 :2...Tells us..Whos shall abide the day of his coming, who shall stand when he shall appear for he shall be as be as a refiners fire and fullers soap when he appears....Which is baptism of the H.G and fire...A consuming fire ..That is gonna consume mans evil nature ...Bible cd not mention Christ a 2nd adam if his stain was not applied to all men.
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your salvation given to all who will believe and trust in You.
Bless our nation and especially those who have the authority to make great changes in our economy, society, and general way of life in Christ name.
Shine Your Face on us and bless us with strength and spiritual fortitude to go forth and "bringing in the sheaves..." for Your Praise and Honor. Help us to be on our knees like Daniel and pray diligently for Your will. To be like Paul and declare the "unknown" God to the lost and confused.
May we be as the "Berean's" and search the Scriptures to make sure it was so.
Love to the brethren and all who are on this platform.
He was led to slaughter but didn't speak a word I love you lord thank you for laying down your life for me and others you're a true God and a great God
Hi Jerimiah. Yes, Jesus was sacrificed to pay the price of our sin that we couldn't pay - and that payment was God's requirement as His pure Lamb was killed as our substitute, so we wouldn't have to take the awful penalty of God's Judgement against us. So the Sacrifice was for all mankind - but not all mankind want that Sacrifice. Jesus' Coming & Death was God's Gift to us so we can have our sins forgiven & enjoy eternal life with Him - but not all want to receive that Gift. In fact, not only do they refuse Him, but also shame & mock Him with their talk & way of living, just as those Romans & Jews did at Jesus' crucifixion.
So, the way is indeed narrow - the narrow path to eternity that only a few can traverse on, as God's children looking to the day when they will be with their God & Father & Jesus Christ. But the other way is wide, for there are so many more that have refused the Gift, & so blinded by their own lusts & passions, that they don't even recognize that hell is at the end of it ( Matthew 7:13,14; Luke 13:23,24). Every man, woman & child has the Blood of Christ available for them - it's now up to them what they do with that great expression of God's Love - God doesn't force that Gift upon them. That is why John 3:16 is so precious: "For God so loved the world (all people), that He gave His only begotten Son (as His Sacrifice for them), that whosoever believeth in Him (they must come - they must place their trust in Jesus), should not perish, but have everlasting life (life forever in God's Presence & not a life forever in hell's torment).
I stand at the door, and knock - Even at this instant; while he is speaking this word. If any man open - Willingly receive me. I will sup with him - Refreshing him with my graces and gifts, and delighting myself in what I have given. And he with me - In life everlasting.
People's Bible Notes for Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock. The language implies that Christ is near. If they will open the door by repentance he is ready to enter and bless. If any man shall hear my voice, and open the door. Hear and obey. Then the Lord will enter, and they shall partake together of the richness of the feast.
Comment: Jesus isn't going to knock on the door and when you open to Him, he's going to start listing all the unconfessed sins.
He's been knocking all along. Most of us know that dark closet in our soul where we hide the sins.
We have to open the door, and let the Lord begin His work. He's gentle and direct. We are healed. The closet is emptied and we are Free; healed.
If Jesus was given as the sacrifice for all men's sin (which I believe he was), then why does he say that few will find Salvation? Didn't his sacrifice cover all sin for all men?
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
(I love what Jesus says, it's so easy to understand) There is only one hope (Jesus) he said be ready.
Hello Mishael . I just wanted to say that I enjoy your posts very much . Your heart shines through your words and we all know that our hearts are what the Lord sees .
Amen brother Carleton. Isaiah 53:6b: "and the LORD hath laid on him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all". And by faith in the crucified One, our "iniquities" are presented to the Father in His Son, Who mercifully forgives us & fully justifies us ('just if I'd' never sinned). The wonder of His Salvation - that all the praise must only go to Him. Romans 3:24; Romans 5:1.
Hello, A few meditations by thinking in part on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 .
Man lacks Righteousness and yet seems to know that it is a quality that is desired. A quality that if found would be purchased if possible. Man seems to also know that Righteousness is peace and peace is rest. Man wants this rest. Man's works are works that cannot be satisfied no matter how much man tries to be good. This unrestful state is a burden, a weight that cannot be justified. This absence of justification for this burden is sin. God in His mercy knew this condition of man would be unbearable and gave us His son as a treasure that would be paid for by God himself.
Because all things are of God, God reconciled us to himself by his son Jesus Christ. To lift the burden from man by not imputing the trespasses of man on man but on His son Jesus Christ. He made Jesus to be sin for us, who had no sin nor burden of works before the space of time of the Cross at Calvary. This mercy offering by God of His son was granted by God's Righteousness and Holiness in the Work of the son who knew no sin except our sin and our works at Calvary that we (might) be made the righteousness of God in him. God justified all sin in His son by the death of sin in the Righteousness and Holiness of God. Man looking up to Christ by faith leaves that burden of unrighteous works which is sin upon Jesus and is healed in the Righteousness of God and gains peace which is rest from his own works. The born again believer is made the righteousness of God and is Holy in Him. The born again believer as a new creature in Christ Jesus knew once the sin in Christ, but now forgiveness. Because of God's righteousness the child of God, now also knows no man after the flesh but knows the ministry of reconciliation by the word, in their new life in the flesh as a living testimony.
He made him a sin offering, who knew no sin - A commendation peculiar to Christ. For us - Who knew no righteousness, who were inwardly and outwardly nothing but sin; who must have been consumed by the divine justice, had not this atonement been made for our sins. That we might be made the righteousness of God through him - Might through him be invested with that righteousness, first imputed to us, then implanted in us, which is in every sense the righteousness of God.
People's Bible Notes for 2 Corinthians 5:21
Hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin. As a sinless substitute he suffered for our sins, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. That our sins might thus be atoned for, the law satisfied, and we be forgiven and accounted righteous. Since we die with Christ, in him we pay the penalty, and are justified.
Brother John. In the normal reading of that Scripture, Paul is stating that since Jesus' death was on behalf of all mankind, then that act of Love is proof that all mankind were spiritually dead in sin and in need of redemption - not one of us has escaped sin's shackles & bondage. Do you have further thoughts on this?
This then would be the final judgment of the world! Those from the holocaust, many holocausts, since!
Those have been judged to be murders are already in Hell. The last judgment of the world. the last time, the end of time as we know it, will be the consummation of all the prophecy! Them the judgment! No more sin, death, only everlasting life!
Today, many hate the Jew. The contempt for God as God, in the Christ has brought this same hate upon those who trust and believe His words. (The Christian). We who bare these things are witnessing the sorrows spoken of in scripture . "These are the beginning of sorrows".
Not withstanding, besides these things , the Jewish nation still denies the Christ! Be not deceived, If you love the Christ you will know the sign of the times. Watch, be sober ,be vigilant, Satan continues his prey for those who stray!
Pilate said it well when he said what is truth!
Confusion, derision, division, are everywhere you look! These are indeed the beginning of sorrows!
How little is your faith Peter?

Jesus Christ was ministering when he went into His Home town of nazareth of galilee Mathew 13:53-58 he
could not due many mighty works because of their unbelief! All thing of God are given upon man first
believing to receive i.e. confess Romans 10:9+10 and believe in thine Heart action mouth then inner most part
and then God can work.
So, the way is indeed narrow - the narrow path to eternity that only a few can traverse on, as God's children looking to the day when they will be with their God & Father & Jesus Christ.

Then the real Jesus comes to Jerusalem on the last day , God only knows that day . There will be signs said Jesus in Mathew 24 and Luke 21 .
When he returns to earth, his feet will touch down on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. There will be an earthquake.
