“Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as your were taught, and over flowing with thankfulness” (Colossians 2:7)
/in Christian Living and Doctrines /by Hiwot MAs a tree strikes its roots deep in the earth, so our faith should strike deep into the doctrine respecting the Savior. “Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as your were taught, and over flowing with thankfulness”, And established in the faith, as ye have been taught;To wit, by the founders of the church, and by those faithful ministers who had succeeded them; Abounding therein with thanksgiving – Expressing overflowing thanks to God that you have been made acquainted with truths so precious and glorious. If there is anything for which we ought to be thankful, it is for the knowledge of the great truths respecting our Lord and Savior.
Let us have lenient heart
/in Christian Living and Doctrines /by Hiwot MOur heart’s desire for Love is its rate of purity and love is lenient. LORD Jesus Christ’s ideal love for children was witnessed upon the cross, his grieving for his leniency and salvation of all man kind. Whereas, Adam’s urged for forgiveness led LORD Jesus in giving his life.
“And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, the will of the Lord be done” (Acts 21:14)
/in Christian Living and Doctrines, Poetry /by Hiwot M“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwell not in temples made with hands” (Acts 17:24)
/in Sermon /by Hiwot MAthenians worshiping assorted witches made Apostle Paul furious and fuming. Qualm the existence in GOD, they curved sculptures and bow in front it by the Title of “The unknown GOD.” Watching them in irate he said, “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwell not in temples made with hands.” He preached for them to have faith in the Alpha and Omega, GOD. Saint Paul’s name signifying his Christ’s gulp of air, his deed wasn’t out of the ordinary; tough theirs was inapt. (Acts 17:22-24)
“But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure without fear of evil” (Proverb 1:33)
/in Christian Living and Doctrines /by Hiwot MAt his reign, the wise king Solomon once thought Israeli people on word of GOD saying “But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure without fear of evil.” Hearing GOD’s, dwelling safely and being secure without fear are the main themes we can find in this quote. (Proverbs 1:33)
