"IS GOD YOUR FRIEND 2"

You are probably saying:
I’ll never go to be able to be God’s friend!
What do I need to do to be his friend?
Wow! Very good question! Jesus said:
“You are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you.”
John 15-14..
We have to do his will and not ours!
And you know He is Righteous and He will never ask you
to do something that violates God’s Commandments!
So, what does He want us to obey? Listen:
“A new Commandment I give you, that you love one another;
as I have loved you, ye also love one another.”
John 13-34
“Greater love had no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends,”
John 15- 13.
“But as it is written, I had not seen nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man the things which God
had prepared for them that love Him.” I Corinthians 2-9.
And the scripture was fulfilled that which saith:
Abraham believed God and it was counted for justice
and he was called: friend of God.
James 2-23.
God’s friends not only believe in God, but also believe Him!
“Believe that He loves us so much that sent his only
begotten Son to the world to save us!” John 3-16.

Do you believe God?
Just ask Him to save you!
He will be you Lord, your Savior, and…
Your friend!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"IS GOD YOUR FRIEND?"

Yes! He is!
He is my friend, why are you making me that question?
Well, because many people say that God is their friend
but, they are not telling the truth, because friends like
to share things in common, good friends practically,
do the same things, and if you like to lie, hate, hurt
people, steal, kill, commit adultery, you’re doing the
things God hates, how can He be your friend?
If you are doing the things the devil loves to do…
he is your friend, not God!
We humans are very weak against the enticements of
the powerful force of sin, and we alone cannot reject it!
That’s why God sent his Son to help us fight together
against sin, and when we ask Him for his help,
He reinforces our will power when we really want to
remove sin from our lives.
He will teach us how dangerous sin is for our souls
and how we could overcome sin, and become
God’s sons when we obey Christ teachings.
The only thing we could be proud of, is in the cross
of Christ where He paid for our sins to save us!
Christ is very happy when we decide to follow Him,
and when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior…
He becomes our Friend! The next time they ask you:
Is God your friend? You will happy answer them:
Yes! He is! He forgave me and changed me!
He is my Lord, my Savior, and of course…
My Friend!

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!

"KNOCKOUT"

How good would it be that in a boxing match, we win all
rounds and the last one, giving to our opponent a good hit
on his jaw, we throw him on the canvas and at the count of
ten, we win by knockout!
Fabulous!
But if instead of us winning, the hits are coming like a cascade,
I think it would be better if we fall at the beginning, and then,
recovering our strength, raising our arms, stretching our legs,
and listening to our manager, we attack our opponent with all
we got, and become victorious, instead of start winning all
rounds and at the end getting tired of throwing so many hits
we stop and loose the fight.
If for any reason, we are laying on the canvas because our
enemy threw us down, we should not worry, we still have
a chance to stand up and fight on our road to God, because
it is not until we are counted until ten, that we are eliminated.
We are not defeated, we’re still alive!
Gain back your strength, raise your fallen arms, strengthen
your legs, and listen to our Trainer Jesus.
He defeated death on the cross to give us life!
He said:
“In the world ye may have tribulation, but be of good cheer
I have overcome the world”
John 16- 33.

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us.”
Romans 8-37.

“Listening and obeying his wise advises, we will surely win”

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES US!

"NEW LIFE 2"

God gives us the present of a new life when we receive
Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature;
old things are passed away, behold, all things are
become new.” II Corinthians 5-17.
The old already passed and in front of us a new horizon
opens up to serve God and people.
We cannot stop our journey to continue wrestling all our
life against the desires of the flesh that do the impossible
to maintain us with them! But No!
We have to continue forward with our faces toward God
making good use of our new life obeying Him!
Rejoice says Saint Paul in Philippians 4-4.
Rejoice in the Lord he repeats. He wants us to be happy!
If we turn our heads looking back remembering about the
past, we would make a complete stop, unable to serve God.
Inside of us has been born a new life, clean, pure and true,
we have to begin living! Giving thanks to our Lord!
We are a new creation! Go ahead! Keep going!
We cannot go back!
With the help of the Holy Spirit Christ put inside of us
when we accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, we will
be able to defeat our old nature denying it obedience.
We can triumph against it by not listening to all those
lies with which it wants to make us return!
No! Not a chance! With Christ’s help, we cannot fail!
When we accepted Jesus as our Lord, God adopted us
as his sons, and now we could call Him : “Abba” Father
when we need his help!
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
have peace: In the world ye shall have tribulation,
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
John 16-33.
With Christ, we are more than conquerors!
Romans 8-37.

PRAISE HIM
HE LOVES YOU!

"NEW LIFE"

The new life consists in abandon our former manner
of living full of sin, doubts, insecurities, insults,
hates, bitterness, anxieties, sadness etc. without any
enthusiasm at all, in doing something good,
living a selfish life, without caring about others.
We forget that love is not to receive, but to give.
When we give love, our heart rejoices, and it is happy,
because our happiness is founded in the love of others.
If you believe in God, and you know He sent his only
Son to pay for your sins on the cross…
Rejoice!
Grace is the unmerited forgiveness of our sins, when
we confess that Jesus is the Holy Son of the Almighty!
And when we believe He resurrected among the death
to give us eternal life… we obtain it!
Because Christ is Life!
Life Eternal!

“And this is the record that God has given us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son.”
“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not
the Son of God, hath not life.”
I John 5-11.

And when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior…
Our life begins!

PRAISE HIM…
HE LOVES YOU!
