Are You Living Blessed?

"We read barely into the second chapter of the Scripture record before we see God selecting a day, a 24-hour period very like the other six -common, ordinary- and placing on it a part of Himself. It is now blessed, holy. It is now unlike the other six. It is unique, distinct, and carries eternal significance. His blessing changed a piece of time."




2By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Genesis 2:2-3 NIV

I know that I started this blog because I wanted to share the basics of what Seventh Day Adventist believe, but today I want to share a post about something that I think is important.

I was taking my Mother in Law to a Dr appointment and on the way she was sharing with me that until she was 30 years old she had never heard that Jesus loved her. Oh I guess I need to share here that my MIL is not a Seventh Day Adventist and was not raised one either - I am not going to share the denomination that she grew up in and was in until she was about 30 year old - because I don't want to do any bashing of the church. Anyway so never had she heard that Jesus loved her until she was 30 years old. How very sad is that?

We get our true value from Jesus Christ - our Creator and our Savior! And when we fully understand how very much God loves us - that is when we can more understand our worth. All we need to do is go to a very well known Bible verse to get the answer of how much God loves us!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
