Would You Like to Check This Out?

Today is the day that I begin a Ladies Bible Study Group at my home. Please pray that those that chose to participate will be blessed. We will be studying the book "Steps To Christ" and we will be using the Study Guide I thought I would share just in case some of you are interested in studying this awesome little book. It is a small but powerful book. God bless each of you. Lisa :O)

A Love Thing

 

 

The Sabbath and Marriage were both established during the week of creation.

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

 

6 Reasons from "Christ's Way of Reaching People"

This list come from the current book that I am reading~ "Christ's Way of Reaching People" by Philip G. Samaan. Just wanted to share this with you all.
********************************************

Christ- motivated and Christ-centered teaching of the Sabbath day:

 

1. Christ from the very beginning involved Himself with man. He demonstrated His love not only by breathing life into him, but also in choosing to set aside a special day to commune with humanity.
2. Christ's love always searches for man, and seeks togetherness with him. In fact, the entire Bible is saturated with reference to His intense desire to be with His people. For Jesus to establish one special day to spend with us is a concrete sign that He loves us, and that we are special to Him.
3. So because man is so important to Christ, He made the Sabbath for him, a particular day reserved just for us and set apart from the rest of the week. Consequently, since the Sabbath is so important to Christ, it follows that it must be the same way to us too.
4. The Sabbath is God's precious love gift of time to us. How do we receive a loving present from a special friend? By graciously accepting it as it is. We should do the same with Christ's gift of the Sabbath by not substituting something else for it.
5. Jesus Himself customarily worshiped on the seventh-day Sabbath. His prophets and disciples did too. Being committed to following Him, we want to live even as He did. How can we go wrong if we follow His example?
6. The Sabbath symbolizes Christ's creation and redemption of man. He rested on that day after He finished His act of creation in the garden, and He also rested on that same day when He finished His act of redemption at Golgotha.

Sabbath is Not....
