Taking Seven Steps
of Imagination and Faith.
Philippians 4.8. Finally,brethren,whatsoever is true,
whatsoever things are honest,whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely
,whatsoever things are of good report;if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things.
So I give you seven step.
Before I do this,
the matter of New Birth must be addressed.
I must first admit to God
that I am lost without him
and needing forgiveness.
Romans 3.23 tells us All have sinned
and come short of the glory of God.
Again Romans 6.23 tells us The wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God
is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So great is God's love
that we not only are forgiven
He sets us free to live as His sons
with all the inheritance rights
legally given us....
John 3.16
For God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten Son that
whosoever believer in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Ephesians 2.1
And you he hath quickened
who were dead in trespasses and sins
In doing this, we become brand new creatures
John 3.3 Jesus tells Nicodemus,
Verily verily I say unto thee,
ye must be born again.
Note: in regard to "thee" and "thou"...
It is there for the reason that he
is saying you
and you yourself
must be born again.
You was not just you.
"you" referred to anyone.
"Ye" indicated this was individually done.
Just as we are born physically
and celebrate our birth day
we need a spiritual birth that happens
only when by God's undeserving love
He grants us the gift of life.
And even when we do open that heart
to believe we cannot get any credit.
God is the one who keeps gently knocking
and the Spirit of God from within
helps us take that step
from death
to life,
from darkness to light,
from fear to faith.
He comes
in at that moment
and changes us.
Each of us as one at a time
we find His spirit living in us,
and He gives us the assurance
that I am his child ...no longer lost
and alone
but sure
of peace with God .
Romans 5.1
tells us being justified by faith
we have peace with God
through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
THIS IS WHERE WE CAN BEGIN,
TAKING THE SEVEN STEPS
OF IMAGINATION
AND FATIH...
We may start looking (1) The True.
(2) The Beautiful. (3) The Good.
(4) The Right.
(6) The ways and means
of putting these into our lives
and (7) The Methods to do it
then as we use these in doing them
day by day
step by step
our life character
is shaped and molded
which God wants in us.
God is not only the starter of our faith,
He will guide us to be like Jesus
and will stay with us
till one Day we see Him face to face.
The Bible is our source
of all we need for this.
