I want it, I need it, just have to have it !



1 Timothy 6:6 (Authorized King James):  "But godliness with contentment is great gain."   Supporting scriptures:  1 Timothy 6:7-8; Matthew 6:33; Romans 13:14; Philippians 4:10-20; Hebrews 13:5 [written to Hebrews].   Strong's #841, i.e. "contentment"  word used only once and that by Paul to us Gentiles our Apostle to give to us what was revealed to him.  

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want but is the realization of what you already have in the LORD Jesus Christ.  [unknown author]]

Sidebar:  The word "Christ"  Strong's  #5547 which has a long and varied definition.  In short defined as Messiah, redeemer; "an epithet of Jesus:--   Christ".   

Continuing then, I do not desire to be without, I'd prefer not to be tested in this manner but if God should allow whatever to come "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."  2 Timothy 1:12.  "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."  Romans 8:18.  "But my God shall supply all your [my] need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:19.  Then I can say with conviction "If I don't have it I don't need it, right?"

What do I have being in Christ Jesus?  I have life:  "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."  Colossians 3:4.  "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."  1 John 5:20.  I am blessed:  
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:"  Ephesians 1:3,  "Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)  and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:"  Ephesians 2:5-6.  I am forgiven:  "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;" Ephesians 1:7.  I'm accepted by God:  "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."  Ephesians 1:6.  Beloved of the Lord:  "But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:"  2 Thessalonians 2:13.  There are I'm sure thousands more supporting verses that would, could be applied, that's why we who are in Christ need all eternity to learn of them.

Todays gospel that saves

Psalms 119:105 (KJV):   “Thy word  is  a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” What I would direct your attention too is “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,”   Most people I speak within the recent past concerning the King James Version (KJV). are anti-KJV.   Reasons given for disliking the KJV are varied but most comments pertain to being hard to understand due to antiquated language.   Also, questionable resources used to translate and wording which lacks flow as is common in today's language.   In that same way, I find few who still use the KJV are of such a mind to those opponents of the KJV.   I personally haven’t any issue with those who refuse to consider the KJV, but do ask them to give credible reasons for denying the legitimacy of KJV; when pressured haven’t heard a reasonable excuse as not to even try the KJV but will go on the defensive and most often become agitated at the questions. When one ...

Which Body?

  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things  done  in  his  body, according to that he hath done, whether  it be  good or bad. Ephesians 4:4 There is  one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; The word “body” has many definitions.   In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Strong’s #4983 defines body as “used in a very wide application”. First look at 2 Corinthians 5:10, and remove the italics.   Italics are not scripture but an addition made by the King James translators to make the flow of or the reading of easier.   So, without the italics;   “ For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things in body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad.   My question was how do I define this word “body”.   Is it the physical body or as per Ephesians 4:4a; “...

Sin; what sin?

Romans 6:14a [Authorized King James Version]:   "For sin shall not have dominion over you:"   So then if sin "shall not" it has to be a conscious decision to do or not to do.   The more knowledge one has of God's Word the less apt one is to sin, exercise unbelief: " And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:   Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;   Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." John 16:8-11.   Verse 9 states that the sin, the worlds sin [from verse 8] is unbelief in Him and of His death, burial and resurrection (DBR) for the payment of ones sin.   That is the gospel that is presented for salvation now!   " If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:" Ephesians 3:2.   "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye...
