God’s Words – For His Lost Children (4)
January 15, 2012
God said to me:
“I want to share a teaching with you. The path to heaven is walked by faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Only through faith in Him can you reach it. The ultimate message of the Book of Romans is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, trust every word He speaks, and follow His teachings, for His teachings come from the Father. As children of God, you must obey the Father’s instructions.
How can you follow the teachings of Jesus? Jesus said that you must love God with all your heart, love others as yourself, and keep His commandments. Though these principles are simple, few are able to truly live them out. The Lord Jesus understands this well, for He knows the weaknesses of humanity and the struggles of the flesh. That is why He looks at your actions after baptism and your transformation after repentance, rather than dwelling on your past mistakes before you came to Him. Likewise, do not fixate on the faults of others, but instead, strive to help yourself and those around you rise above past failures and live a more meaningful and radiant life.
‘All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.’ This sin refers to a way of life—a failure to live with the attitude that God deems right. The attitude that pleases God is one of integrity, righteousness, and uprightness. If you do not live with this attitude, you are in sin and fall short of God’s glory. I understand that the ups and downs of life do not always allow people to remain in their best state. Therefore, through Jesus Christ, I have redefined sin and its requirements. I know that humans will never be able to live up to My standards at all times. The more I understand you, the more I cannot bear to see you live in sin. That is why I sent Jesus Christ to save you—so that through faith in Him, you may be freed from the bondage of sin. Perhaps when I created humankind, I did not anticipate that you would struggle to meet My standards, but the gospel of Jesus Christ is My will and the ultimate proof of My love for the world.
You must understand My heart. These words were written by the Spirit of God to reveal My thoughts to the world. Elena Yaling is My scribe; you must respect her work in recording these messages, for this is what I have allowed to happen. Blessed are those who receive these messages, and blessed are those who hear My words. Strengthen your faith, do good deeds, and take action. Do not be afraid of difficulties and tribulations.
I love you, and Jesus Christ loves you!!”
Amen!
