When Jesus died on the cross, He was the last offering for sin. We can now be forgiven by the blood of Jesus. After sharing this, he agreed upon this.
Matthew 1 :20,21 (KJV)

In the Bible, you will see that there are no references to the Name, Jesus, Christ or Jesus Christ, until Matthew 1:1.
Galatians 5 :22-26 (KJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have...
The Book of Mormon claims that if we lived before the birth of Jesus, we can be forgiven by the blood of Jesus. This is contrary to the Bible.
David taught that those that love God “go from strength to strength”. They may have been shy in certain areas but God gives them boldness.
Lord, if the hearts of our enemies cannot be softened, I pray that a greater affliction may also come upon them.
Psalm 82 starts off by saying, “God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.” Who are these people that are called gods?
Those that trample on God’s laws will be dealt with harshly. Now is the time to repent or else the wrath of God will be felt.
David explained how we can escape God’s wrath and anger. He said, “Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.”
Blessed is Mary to be the mother of the Son of God. She declared, “he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.”
After talking with Herod, the wise men “departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.”
Mary wondered how she could be pregnant, being kept modest in all things before the Lord. She had waited till marriage for any sexual relations.
Soon after this visitation, the angel also visited Joseph. He told him to not fear his wife’s pregnancy for what she is carrying “is of the Holy Ghost.”
Many centuries passed but this sign of the baby Jesus’s birth was not forgotten. People anxiously awaited the coming of their King.
Jesus is called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the prince of peace. His peace has no end. He is our judge and judges us with justice.
The prophesy of the Lord’s birth, in Isaiah 7 and 8, was fulfilled in Matthew 1. The wait was finally over. The birth of the Messiah had finally come to pass.
Many things we are attached to in life are idols and must be forsaken to be in His will. Look at the second commandment, for instance.
Being led by God is much different than being led by your own self and hoping or thinking you are saved.
John, the apostle, also knew of the glory of God, through Jesus. His eyes were opened and he saw “the Lion of the tribe of Judah.”
David declared, “Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.”
I have met so many people that call themselves Christians, however, their life is not for the Lord. They live apart from His will.
What the Lord can do through us in prayer is more than we will ever know. Until we have given our hearts to God we will never know what this means.
Only Satan desires that you stay in a place where people’s ears are being tickled but the Word of God is being silenced.
There was a time, in days past, that each of us lived apart from God. We did what the lusts of the flesh desired.
My destination was also hell. My old life was so far gone. I had no control over my flesh. When it was weak, I gave into the pleasures it desired.
It is true that each of us have a choice to believe in and follow Jesus. However, one way or another, all will, one day, “bow down before him”.
Shortly after talking with these two gentlemen, my walk led me to another awesome discussion with a wonderful young man.
