God talk

  9/20/2020 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Matthew 12:32 As I said many times; the Holy Spirit is God and we should watch what we say to Him. Let us walk in humility and understand that the Holy Spirit is there for our salvation.   We ought to respect the Holy Spirit and the honour of his name and who he is.   How this blasphemy exactly works I am not sure but blasphemy to any aspect of God in his person should never happen. Why blaspheme someone who has only ever showed loved to us!   Concerning the futrue of my blogs; I will be doing them a little less often because of study and work comitments.  I also want to say that I just got Bavinck's Reformed Ethics and I really want to read this book slowly and will share interesting insights.  The thing about any dogmatic teaching; it usually fol...

  9/19/2020 7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. John 16:7 Yes, Jesus was taken up to heaven and one day He will come back. Who will take care of us while he is gone? The Third Person of the Trinity takes care of us and looks after us while Jesus is gone.   He teaches us, comforts and keeps us safe.   Even in the face of death, the second death has no control over us. No one wants to die an unnatural death, but it happens. When Nero’s gardens were lit up at night time with those burning martyrs, in no way were they helpless victims. The Holy Spirit was with the believers on those gruesome nights.   The second death has no power overs these believers, the same cannot be said for bloodthirsty Nero as they will face the eternal fire and ever conscious torment of total separation from their Creator.   Even though Jesus has gone to...

  9/18/2020 17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. Revelation 22:17 God loves us so much that he knows that we are in need of before we even ask anything.    He wants us to live our lives to the full. Being a follower of Christ means that we are not orphans. We have all lost loved ones, but this is not the end.   There is hope of a future eternal life that has started now. The Holy Spirit invites us and he knocks on the door of our lives.   He does not force his way into our life.
