Behold What Manner of Love is This?

…That We Should Be Called His Children?

If you search for true love, you find Jesus! No greater love!

How to be saved:

How do you become a child of God?

By rejecting the sinful nature and by faith trusting in Jesus for the forgiveness of sin and accepting His righteousness!

After becoming a child of God, the next step is growing in the relationship you have with Jesus!

1 John 3:1-3

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

We become God’s children by faith. You become children by believing in the name of Jesus!

Transformation Starts:

After you become a child of God, things start happening!

You become alive! You have awakened! Processes start up and start working!

When you cry out and ask God to change you and fix you! You know what that is?

That’s God’s work in you, it’s working, you are changing. You are in the process of transformation!

Yes we are all sick and messed up, but isn’t it nice to know that we are recovering?

I don’t mean it like we are recovering Christians, but yeah, we are Christians and we are recovering! You are getting better! You are being transformed day by day and HE is faithful to complete it until that day!

1 Peter 4:1-4 Are you done with sin?

Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

Rolling Ball Sculptures!

In my younger days I made Rolling Ball Sculptures and sold them on eBay!

For the most part it was just extra money but I’ve sold thousands of dollars worth of them!

At one point I was between jobs and wondered how we’d make it and somehow God dropped a $5000 job in my lap! At first I thought it was just a prank and told them to pay half and I’d start on it and then the next day $2500 was in my PayPal account! Wow! So I made the order and there was the other $2500. It was a museum in South Korea and to this day still has some of my sculptures displayed there (as far as I know)! Neato!

An RBS is a potential energy device! What does that mean? It doesn’t do anything until you release a marble on top. At that point it becomes kinetic energy! The marble will then roll down the track and do whatever tricks until it reaches the bottom!

You’re Different!:

Sinful people find it odd that you don’t join in with their debauchery anymore!

Hey, you want to go out drinking and carousing with us? No? You’re different!

Something’s different! You’ve changed!

Story of the butterfly or the frog?

From a seed to a flower. You don’t stare at it but you don’t see it.

Timelapse photography is great to see that wonderful transformation!

Let the Lord do His work!

If someone hasn’t seen you in a while, they may notice, hey something is different about you!

2 Cor 3:17-18 … being transformed!

16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
