Bible study 2

Under Christ's Law, choose to be a warrior. Choose to be happy. God wants us to be happy and free and pure. He says, "Seek me and live" (Amos 5:5). He also says "Seek me and love"...it's God's Word to me today. He says He speaks to us in more ways than just the pen and ink that wrote the Holy Bible. The prophets that wrote the Holy Bible still write. I am a heaven prophet.

God says, "Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord Almighty will be with you, just as you say He is. Hate evil, love good" (Amos 5:14-15a). We need fellowship with the Lord - not just with people. Yahweh, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is our friend and our Father and our brother. We are adopted as sons and daughters of God. In Amos, it says that God punishes evil people, until they repent and become good. There is always hope.

In the New Testament, John says, "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life." (John 6:27a). Of course we need physical food. God can just put it in our bodies if we can't afford it. If you eat bad food sometimes, you can pray it doesn't go down. However, true nourishment comes from the Word of God: Jesus. The Samaritan woman found true water at the well when she met Jesus. He gives us inspiring "Water" that lasts forever. We need more than just physical food and water.

Some people think you need to do good works to go to Heaven. The Bible says, "The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent." (John 6:29). All you have to do is repent and turn to Jesus and ask Him to come into your heart so you can believe.

God writes, "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your heart on things above, where Christ is." (Colossians 3:1a).  Focus on good things, like love and compassion and purity and goodness. Reject bad things, like lust and rage and witchcraft and idolatry and violence. Try to hate sin as much as God does, and choose to do good things. Choose to love. Fear God with loving awe and solemn respect and passion and trust. Trust Yahweh. Seek Christ. Go to church so you can make christian friends and grow in faith. When you can't go to church, worship on your own: read the Bible, study it, listen to christian music and sing along, and find sermons on youtube to listen to. Take out bread and grapejuice, and pray that it becomes communion.

Thats all for now,
