The great divide…
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
Rom.10.9-13,17
Reading through the book of Romans, still, (there is sooooo much in this book…)
As I quickly read various headlines this am, this one popped out…”belief in God, devil falls lower”…concluding paragraphs follow…I usually don’t get into politics, but this was interesting…since I fall into some of these categories…as there seems to be an attempt to divide and pit one against another…
We each get to make the decision of where we stand…that freewill that we are given…I so appreciate God’s patience with us…
“Lower income Americans, older Americans, women and those without college degrees were also more likely to say that they believe in such spiritual entities.(God, the devil, heaven, hell, angels)
Republicans (87%)more likely than Democrats(66 %)or Independents(68%).”
“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,a pot among earthen pots!
Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’or ‘Your work has no handles’?
Thus says the Lord,the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:“Ask me of things to come;will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?
I made the earth and created man on it;
it was my hands that stretched out the heavens,and I commanded all their host.
Isa.45.9,Isa.45.11-12
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2Pet.3.9
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
Jude.1.17-19
Thank YOU….
These are the days of Elijah ….
