@Marvelloustime Following on from this theme, I was just remarking to @Heart2Soul how much of a keyword 'patience' seems to be in the NT... :)

Imagine an event so FAST , that paul even calls it a twinkling of the eye .
IF we are not HIS , THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE . And if one dies and is not HIS , there is no second chance .
THUS , arise and let all that has breath , POINT TO JESUS . And when i say JESUS , I mean the biblical one .
Cause any other version of said JESUS , is not JESUS , its the devil in disguise .

[Mama Etna]

For when we were yet without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:
yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 5:6-8​

 

[Mama Etna]

Paul who was one of the most strict, religious people of his day said this:

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief.
1 Timothy 1:15​

[Mama Etna]

But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12-13​

Psalms 119:9​

Such a lot in Psalm 119...

 

[Mama Etna]

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden,
when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding,
sit not down in the highest room;
lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee,
Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
But when thou art bidden,
go and sit down in the lowest room;
that when he that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher:
then shalt thou have worship in the presence
of them that sit at meat with thee.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 14:7-11​

 

[Mama Etna]

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king,
and stand not in the place of great men:
For better it is that it be said unto thee,
Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower
in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
Proverbs 25:6-7​

 

[Mama Etna]

Such a lot in Psalm 119...

God's Word is like that, such a lot can be packed in so few words. There is no other book like that.

Indeed so...

 

[Mama Etna]

But all their works they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries,
and enlarge the borders of their garments,
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts,
and the chief seats in the synagogues,
And greetings in the markets,
and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
But be not ye called Rabbi:
for one is your Master,
even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Matthew 23:5-8​
