1 timothy 3rd chapter

Apostle Paul says that the church is the dwelling place of the Living God. So whoever enters inside should be pure in heart and fearful of God’s mighty presence. If that is so then if someone wants to be leader or deacon of the church he should definitely fulfill some basic criteria. First of all he should be blameless and above reproach so that no one can find fault with him. He should be devoted to his wife and children. He should manage the affairs of his own house in a God-fearing way. If he has no control over his children how will he manage the whole church congregation? He should not be proud or aggressive. He should neither be a drunkard nor a coveter. He should be patient, generous and have the ability to teach the gospel. He should hold on to his faith dearly. Even their wife’s should exhibit similar qualities.
But in most of the contemporary churches these qualities are missing. Sometimes church becomes a political platform. People who could not shine in local politics aspire for recognition and posts in churches. Sometimes elections in churches are more violent than the local politics. Misuse of church funds for personal gains and sexual immorality are part of the game.
 Apostle Paul says that there is a reward waiting for all the people who work for the Lord. As each organ in our body has particular function , God has assigned everyone a particular job in the church .One may preach and the other one may just ring the bell or collect the offetory. But all are considered equal in gods eyes and will be rewarded. so we all should do our work assigned to us in utter humility and unity.
We also should know the true mystery of our faith. That is, our Lord Jesus came into this world taking human form, died for our sins, rose on the third day and is a reigning Omnipotent God. He is going to come soon and judge each one of us according to our deeds. This has been preached and believed all over the world. We should have this in mind when we enter the church and worship him with fear and reverence. We should not consider church as a social hub or entertainment center, but a holy altar for praise and worship only.

1 Timothy chapter 2: The wonderful thing about our living God is that He wants everyone to know the truth and be saved. The truth is that there is one God and only one mediator between God and man, who is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.( Even though they are separate by their works, God the Father, Jesus Christ the son, and Holy Spirit the comforter are the same and one God).
And this Jesus was offered as a living sacrifice for the atonement of all our sins.Because he loved us so much Jesus died willingly on the cross, so that we can be saved from the wages of sin (which is death and hell)and be with Him everlastingly.
Apostle Paul exhorts everybody to pray with thanksgiving, supplication, and intercession for the welfare of all men, kings and people in high authority so that they will know God more and live a quiet, peaceful and godly life.And also that justice and peace prevail all over the world .We should all pray for this sincerely and without any doubt. This is well acceptable in the sight of our lord
Apostle Paul says woman’s beauty is revealed by their godliness and charity works and not by decorating herself with ornaments. He urges the women folks to continue in their faith steadfastly and lead a holy life. Since Eve was the first to be tempted easily by the devil to sin, he advises all women to be more careful and vigilant in their daily life.
Also Apostle Paul issues a strict decree that women should be silent and to be under the authority of men which I feel was applicable to the living lifestyle of the society during those times.

1 TIMOTHY CHAPTER1

1 TIMOTHY CHAPTER 1: Do we need laws to govern us? Practically speaking, yes. The whole world and its governments are run by rules and laws. It is good if we follow these laws sincerely. Apostle Paul in this chapter says laws are meant for people who are breaking them and not for the righteous people. Because righteous people will follow the laws whether it is implemented or not. Hence only criminals need these laws. He tells this point because some people were preaching doctrine other than the gospel by stressing the importance of following the rigid old testament rules and laws to attain salvation and not preaching the true love of Christ. Jesus Christ by sacrificing his life for our sins has nullified these laws and rules. Because ,once we sincerely believe and accept Christ as our savior ,the holy spirit will sanctify us to be a righteous person. So then there will be no need for any laws and rules to govern us
In this chapter Apostle Paul advises his spiritual son Timothy to correct those false teachers because they did not know what to preach and were brainwashing the people with their own theories and stories. He wanted Timothy to teach them that justification of each person's sins comes only through unfailing and unflinching faith in Jesus Christ and not by old testaments rules. The end result will be the true love arising in our heart from good conscience and purity.
Apostle Paul says Christ came to save the sinners .He gives example of himself ,how before converting to Christianity he persecuted the Christians by torturing and killing them. But because he did these things in ignorance he was saved by the Lord's infinite grace. The Lord had enabled him to be the chief apostle in propagating the ministry. Even though Apostle Paul was an ultimate sinner he still got mercy from Lord Jesus. This sets an example for the rest of the human race. Lord Jesus has infinite patience. He is ready to accept any sinner whatever may be his deeds, if he truly repents and asks forgiveness and accepts Him as Lord and Savior .Once saved the rules and laws of this world will not matter for him, for he then will become truly righteous in the image of Christ

2 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 3

2 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 3- In the 3rd verse Apostle Paul says that Lord Jesus is ever faithful and He will sustain us and keep us from all evil. God has called us to be His people and He expects us to follow His commandments. Practically in daily life sometimes it is very difficult for us to follow them. At times we become unfaithful to Him and fall into temptation. When we fall like this we don’t keep our part of covenant with Him. But Lord Jesus is ever faithful and loving to us in spite of our shortcomings. When we sincerely repent for the sins we had committed He lifts us again from the pit and sustains us so that such incidents will not happen again. Thus whenever we succumb to sins our job is to get up from this pit and continue our spiritual journey forward without looking back and also try our best not to fall into this pit again.
In this chapter Apostle Paul chides about the people who do not work but act like busy people. He says one should work hard to earn his food as its God’s will that we do so. He advices the Thessalonians to stay away from lazy people. He explains how he and his group were like role model to them by working like laborers to earn their living. But he says not to treat these lazy people as enemies but correct them just like a brother would do.
He also asks the Thessalonians to continuously pray for them and their ministry as they were experiencing many difficulties and persecutions. Apostle Paul knew that collective prayers of many people for a particular subject always produces immediate response from God. Jesus said when two or more people gather and call on His name, He is present there and whatever we ask in Jesus name He will grant it to us. He is our loving Father who will shower His blessings on all who follow His commandments. He is ever faithful.

2 THESSALONIAN 2ND CHAPTER

2 Thessalonians chapter 2 : Even though Lord Jesus did not prophesies the exact time of His second coming, He had indirectly given clues about the glorious event. He had told that many events will precede His second coming. One of the main event written in the Bible is the appearance of Antichrist preceding his second coming.
During the period of Apostle Paul ,many false preachers were propagating that Jesus second coming was already happening. But Apostle Paul writes to the Thessalonians not to be deceived by these teachings . For he says that an important event would take place just before the second coming of Lord Jesus. One main event is a general chaos with rebellion all around the world and the appearance of a single man as a world leader. He will be full of sin and will be an instrument of Satan. He will declare himself god and will sit in the temple of god and will order every body to worship him as god. With the help of Satan he will do many wonders and miracles and deceive many people. For the basic survival, people will be forced to serve and worship him .But the people chosen by Lord Jesus will not fall into his trap. During this time the amnesty period to be saved by lord Jesus will end. God will then send a strong delusion to the unrepentant ,so that they will all be made to believe in this man and will be marked for everlasting destruction. When our Lord Jesus comes, He will destroy this man and all the people who believed in this man just by His breath and by he splendor of his glorious appearance. So Paul advices the Thessalonians to stand steadfast in their faith, and hope and patiently wait for the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I believe lord Jesus second coming is being postponed because of the everlasting love of God towards mankind. He wants more souls to be saved before the final destruction. It is more than 2000 years since this prophesy was written. But now with lot of things happening around the world as prophesied in the Bible, the end of the world is surely at hand. The decision is yours whether to be in the winning team or in the losing team. To be in the losers team will result in everlasting torture in hell.

2 THESSALONIANS Chapter1

2 THESSALONIANS Chapter1: In this chapter Apostle Paul warns us of the fury of God on them that do not follow His ways. This period that we are now living is the period of amnesty. God has given us this time for us to repent and to come out of the clutches of sin. This is the period to ask forgiveness for our sins and accept Him as our Savior. During this period we are experiencing our Lord’s everlasting love, unlimited grace and showers of mercies. This is the period to get residency in our Lord’s kingdom even though we are unworthy and sinful. This amnesty period ends with the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. People who are unrepentant will then see the other side of Lord Jesus. Apostle Paul writes that when Jesus will appear from Heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels, there will be no grace or mercy shown but only justice. The unrepentant will be punished with everlasting destruction in hell and will be shut out from His presence. He will punish each one of them according to their crimes. But to His believers it will be everlasting joy and happiness.
Also in this chapter Apostle Paul admires the people of Thessalonians for their ever growing faith and their increase in love for each other. He says not to worry about the trials and persecution in this life, because God is a just God. During the Lord’s second coming He will embrace them and take them with Him. But woo to those people who troubled them because God is going to pay them back severely according to their deeds. He also states that God will strengthen His people to be worthy of His calling and to fulfill the duties that is prompted by the faith in Lord Jesus.
When Jesus comes again He will be glorified and marveled by all his believers because of His pure might, power and strength. He is glorified at present by His powerful life changing experiences in our Christian life, the wonderful miracles happening all over the world to those who believe in Him, and by the various works of the Holy Spirit. When we surrender ourselves completely to Him and worship Him at all times our lives are completely taken over by Him. We can really feel the Lord's presence with us when we commit ourselves at His feet.

1THESSALONIANS Chapter 5

1THESSALONIANS Chapter 5: The period immediately before the second coming of our Lord Jesus will be associated with lot of catastrophes everywhere. Jesus had prophesized that the troubles at that time will be more terrible than anything that has ever occurred in the past or till today. There will be many wars, famines and earth quakes causing worldwide destruction and agony. Then there will be celestial catastrophes. The sun and moon will not give out light and celestial bodies will fall on the earth. All these things are taking place one by one as we hear them every day. Then our Lord Jesus will appear like a lightening which flashes across the whole sky. But the timing or the season when He will come is known only to God the Father. Apostle Paul compares and says that the Lord will come like how a thief would come at night. No one, not even the angels or the Lord Jesus himself knows the time or hour of His coming. But to be saved from destruction Apostle Paul advices us to be watchful and sober. As people who have accepted Christ as Savior, we belong to the day not to the night. As we belong to the day and are awake and watchful, His second coming will not take us by surprise .We should not be caught sleeping in the night. We should be strong in our faith, love and hope to receive Him at any time. This will save us from destruction during those times and we will be able to live eternally with our Lord Jesus as promised by God the Father.
Next Apostle Paul challenges us to put the promises and prophesies to test by faith. We should believe these promises and see what happens. If we think we are inspired by the Holy Spirit to mark on any endeavour which will be helpful for the ministry, we should not hesitate to proceed. The Lord who has called us is ever faithful. He will strengthen our body, spirit and soul to go ahead with the job entrusted. We should pray to God at all times because it is our powerful weapon. We should also be joyful and thankful at all circumstances because our lives are in union with Christ. And He is our helper, advocate, friend, guide, provider and protector.
Regarding evangelist, preachers, prophets, pastors, and leaders of church Apostle Paul advices us to treat them with utmost respect and love because their job is the most sacred and fruitful one. But they too are accountable to the Lord and their actions will be judged by Him only. He also advises not to repay evil for evil but to do good at all times. When we follow all these advices one by one, we are preparing for the second coming of our Lord Jesus. We have very less time in our hands so we all need to take things seriously and live a holy and God fearing life.

1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4

1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4: At the beginning of this chapter, Apostle Paul says that it is the will of God that we should live a righteous and a holy life. God has chosen us for His purpose and it pleases Him more when we live that way. Our Christian living should not be in a plateau or in a stationary state. It should grow day by day. This process is called sanctification. If we sincerely yearn for this purification and ask Lord Jesus to help us then He will send us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will work in our heart and mind to cleanse us of all the impurities and bad thoughts. The most despicable thing God hates is lust, adultery and coveting. Our body is the temple of God. If we want the Holy Spirit to dwell in us then there are certain rules and regulations which we must abide. So one should take care to control his physical urges and not give way to temptations. Anyone who rejects this commandment from God also rejects the Holy Spirit which he has sent .This is a heinous and unpardonable crime in front of God.
Secondly, Apostle Paul tells us how to be a witness for Christ. This is possible only when we mend our ways and start behaving more Christ-like. It is our behavior that should reflect the Holy Spirit in us. We should live a quiet life minding our own business. We should work hard for our living and earn our daily living honestly. Lord Jesus commands us to love one another. The way of expressing this love is to help those in need by giving charity. We should be compassionate to the people around us and to console those people who are lonely and depressed. Also we should pray for them ceaselessly. Lord Jesus practically showed what true love is by sacrificing His life for friends and enemies alike.
Thirdly, Apostle Paul tells us not to grieve for our beloved ones who have left this world. He says that there is hope that we will surely meet all of them again. As Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day, in a similar way He will raise all the dead who believed in Him to be with Him. During His second coming, Lord Jesus will descend from heavens in great glory with the shout of archangel and the sound of trumpet. Then all the dead who believed in Him will arise from their grave to join Him. After that the believers who are still alive will be lifted up to join Him and to live with Him forever. This is a hope to all the people who are mourning the death of their loved ones, kith and kin. Be strong and of good courage.

THESSOLANIANS CHAPTER 3: In this chapter Apostle Paul is worried about the faith of Thessalonians. They were like babies in faith who needed constant spiritual nourishment.After Apostle Paul had laid the foundation of gospel in this city he went to preach in other places. But where ever he went, he faced severe persecution. He was worried that the Thessalonians would fall away from faith due to fear when they hear about his tribulation. So he sends Timothy to them to know about their depth of faith and to encourage them. But he is very happy to know from Timothy that the Thessalonians were very strong in their faith. He is happy that the devil could not tempt and make them fall away from their Christian living. In spite of his pain and suffering he feels joy in his heart after hearing about their steadfast faith in Jesus. He thanks the Lord for strengthening them and prays continually that they will be stronger in future. It gives more determination to Apostle Paul to spread the gospel to other places.
Even when we accept Christ as our savior, our faith has to be strengthened and nurtured. At the early stages we should not to be carried away into worldly living or fall into temptations. A seed when it is sown into the ground has to withstand many obstacles before getting rooted and becoming a big tree. The sun might scorch it, the birds can eat it and the soil may not allow it to grow. Thus the seed has to be carefully sown and nurtured. In a similar our faith (seed) has to be constantly nourished by reading the word of God and praying to Him. We should believe every word of God and the promises attached. As we grow stronger in faith our eternal gardener will nourish and strengthen our faith. Then our faith will grow like a big tree deep-rooted, bearing fruits and also providing shelter to many.

1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2

1 THESSALONIANS chapter 2: In this chapter Apostle Paul extols the qualities that servants of God should have when they go about spreading the Good News. First is perseverance. Even though their group was ill treated in the previous city where they preached the Gospel, they spread the gospel in Thessalonica with even more vigor and responsibility. This is because they knew this job was given by God to them and they wanted to please God and not men. Second, they never had any false motives or deception. They never thought of any monetary benefits in doing this. In fact Apostle Paul says during their stay there, his group did manual hard work just like thesalonians to earn their daily living as well as preaching them the truth. They did not want to be a burden to others. They lived as role model with honesty and holiness. They never wanted personal glory for what they were doing. Thirdly, they were filled with love. The love could be compared to the love of a mother who nurses her child. She is so tender and protective. In a similar way they gently imparted the Gospel to them. They comforted them and corrected them as a father would, so that they could walk in their daily life worthy before God, who has called them to His Kingdom. Because of this the Thessalonians received the Gospel as not from men but from God. They believed in the Gospel fully and became sincere followers of Christ.
Jesus told us that we should first seek the Kingdom of God and its righteousness. We have to seek it with our whole heart. That is to follow His teaching and practically applying it to our daily life. When we do that God will shower us with all the blessings according to His riches. We should practice a true Christian living and set a standard for others. His other command was to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth for the benefit of the mankind. This we should do with a loving heart and perseverance. Our ministry should be without any false motives or for any monetary benefits. When we stick to this attitude, He will bless us abundantly in all aspects of this life and as well as in eternal life.

1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 1

1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 1: The Thessalonians were one of the first role models of true Christians. They lived as witness to Christ and set example to all the surrounding people with their faith, love, hope and endurance. They received the Gospel from Apostle Paul not superficially but through the power of the Holy Ghost. When they heard the good news about Jesus from Apostle Paul, it wasn’t the words or the manner in which he spoke that made the Thessalonians to come out of their ungodly ways but it was purely the Holy Spirit which worked in them. The Holy Spirit strengthened their faith, gave them a heart to love the people around them and to hope in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. They were instrumental in spreading the gospel to the surrounding areas. They had their faith deep rooted and they braved all persecutions for the sake of the Gospel. They were patient and enduring. They also lived a life of love, helping each other according to Christ’s teaching. They had turned away from their previous evil ways and waited on our Lord’s second coming with hope. Apostle Paul says that all these things happened because they had been selected by God to be so. God loved them and chose them to be His people. In a similar way we also have been selected to be the followers of Christ. The ball is in our court. From our part we have to yield to the Holy Spirit to work in us to lead a successful true Christian life just as how the Thessalonians lived. God loves each one of us so much that He sent His son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive and he’s coming soon. That’s the Good News each of us has to spread. We have to be more like Jesus in the way we walk, talk and think

COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 4

Colossians 4th chapter- Are we treating the people who work under us justly? Are we giving them their pay correctly? We should treat them justly because we too have a master in Heaven who is judging us in a similar way. Lord Jesus told a parable in which a man in spite of his huge debt forgiven by the king did not forgive his subordinate who owed him a small debt. When the king heard of this, he got angry and put the man in prison to be tortured. Likewise if we want to be blessed by God we should treat our subordinates with respect and pay them justly according to their work. We don’t want to be punished by God’s anger but we want to be blessed by His love.
Prayer always yields positive results. Also prayer combined with thanksgiving is more powerful. Lord Jesus told a parable about an old woman constantly asking the judge to provide justice. Even though the judge did not want to help her, he finally gives in just to escape from her persistence. Likewise we should wrestle God with our constant prayer for the things we need. We should ask God anything and everything that we need with full faith. And after that we should also thank Him with full faith that we have received it. After that we should not have any doubts in our heart as to whether we will receive it or not. Because when we pray, we know that God has surely heard it. So surely He will give us whatever we ask Him with faith. We just need to believe it. We should also pray that God should give us the wisdom and put the correct words in our mouth and heart when we proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. Our speech should be graceful, sincere and complete with full confidence when we explain the mystery of Jesus Christ. In such a way it should clear any doubts. It is by prayer that we ask God to fill us with wisdom to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Thus prayer is a powerful weapon.

COLLOSSIANS 3RD CHAPTER

COLOSSIANS Chapter 3: Apostle Paul says that whatever we do in our day to day lives, we should do it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should thank Him and praise Him always. His praise should always be on our lips. Whatever work we do in our daily life we should do it sincerely, wholeheartedly and with the fear of God in our hearts. Every simple work should be done as though it’s been done for God and not as to please men or as an eye service. Our aim is to opt for heavenly rewards rather than the worldly ones. We should also stay away from our old habits and sinful ways as we are born again in the image and likeness of Christ. He warns us that God’s anger will be upon the people who disobey Him and they will get their reward according to their deeds. Hence we should stay away from lust, anger, malice, covetousness, and loose talk.
The true peace of our Lord should dwell in our hearts. Our hearts should overflow with mercy, kindness, humbleness and perseverance. We should forgive those people who have done wrong and hurtful deeds to us just as Christ forgave our sins. It surely is very difficult for us to forgive such people. But we can do it by asking God to fill us with His Holy Spirit which will give us strength to forgive them and also to pray for them. We should also help people who are in need. The true word of Christ should dwell in our hearts and we should be able to teach and instruct each other according to the true wisdom of God.
When wives submit to their husbands and when husbands truly love their wives, there is equality in relationship. Neither the husband nor the wife is superior or inferior in any way when they keep Lord Jesus as the head of the family. His grace will allow them to manage the house as well as the children. Children must obey their parents in the Lord. This really pleases our Lord to the extent that there is a promise attached to this commandment. He promises a long life. Parents too should not be too harsh and irrational to their children which may make them go astray. They should love them and discipline them in the Lord. They should set an example for the children to follow.

COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2

Colossians chapter 2- Apostle Paul says that Jesus Christ is the only ultimate authority of all wisdom and knowledge. So one should have strong faith in Him. We should grow in Him and get rooted in Him by reading the word of God and praying continuously with thanksgiving. We should ask Him to reveal the truth behind each verse in the Bible. Apostle Paul also warns against certain people who will convince us by their clever and philosophical talk which are contrary to the Bible. These people will try to justify worldly things. During his period there were a group of people who were advocating to follow certain Old Testament rituals, food habits etc, in addition to following Christ. But Apostle Paul says that following these rituals will not make us clean or pure unless Jesus Christ cleans our heart of all impurities.
Jesus died for our sins and since we believed it and asked for forgiveness, our sins were also buried with Him. When He rose again on the third day we also rose again without any sins because by dying on the cross, He has blotted out our sins and forgiven our iniquities. He has then baptized us with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has burned out all our sins and made us as new beings. The same Holy Spirit will prevent us in committing further sins and gives us protection. Thus following rituals and strict laws does not make us pure but for the Mercy, Grace, and the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the Cross at Calvary.

COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 1

Colossians chapter 1- God created Adam and Eve. He created them in His own image and loved them so much. He gave them everything they needed including eternal life. But they fell out of His grace because the devil tempted them to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. God then drove them away from His garden and took away their immortality. Hence humans had to toil, suffer and finally die in this world. Since then the whole human generations got more and more alienated from God by their wickedness and repeated sins. But God’s love and mercy is everlasting and He wanted to reconcile with people . But that was not possible because He is holy and we are unholy; loaded with past, present and future sins. We cannot survive in His presence with our impurities. So He wanted us to be made completely perfect without sins before we stand in His presence. He needed somebody who can completely wash away our sins and make us perfect. God’s only choice was His son Jesus Christ, who created the heaven, earth and all the visible and invisible things .God thus gave His only beloved son Jesus to this world to deliver us from the darkness of sin and to enter into His glorious Kingdom. God made peace with humans through the blood of Jesus which was shed on the cross; which completely washed away the sins of the whole humanity, in the past, present and the future. Through His death Jesus presents us to His beloved Father as holy, unblameable and unreproveable beings. But from our part we have to believe that He died for us. We should repent for our sins and accept Jesus as our Saviour. We should confess that He is the Lord. Once we do this, He will enter into our hearts and we will become a new being. He will sanctify us as we grow up in faith and will purify us like pure gold to be presented in front of the Holy God. This act of reconciliation will result in us getting back the original position as before when Adam and Eve enjoyed in God’s presence. And this will be for all eternity.

PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 4

Philippians chapter 4: In this chapter, Apostle Paul asks us to rejoice and be happy in the Lord always. Is it really possible to be happy and to be without worries all the time? Yes we can, if we have Jesus in our mind all the time because he takes care of all our troubles. He is our advocate, guide, provider and protector. He fights the battle for us. The Bible says that by worrying we will not be able to add even one extra hour to our lives. So leave everything to Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace who gives us the ultimate peace in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that surpasses all understanding. Our only job is to forget our worries and to rejoice and praise Him all the time.
That is why Apostle Paul says not to worry about anything in this life, but to put all our needs in prayer and supplications and to thank God for all the blessings and protection He has given to us throughout our lives. He says he can do all the possible and impossible things through Jesus Christ who strengthens him. He also asserts that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. He then advices to be steadfast in Jesus and yearn for a just, pure, truthful and an honest life. He particularly stresses to be content with whatever we have just as how he was content in all circumstances, even during times of need and also when he had plenty. He was even content when he suffered as well as when he was free, because whatever he did, he did it to glorify our Lord. When God’s peace is in us we are content at all times and with all things.

PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 3

Philippians 3rd chapter- (About knowing Jesus)Apostle paul says his wisdom knowledge are all worthless and loss compared to what he gains by knowing lord jesus. The knowledge about his power , his might, his everlasting loveand mercy. And also the knowledge of his suffering in this world and his power of resurrection. This knowledge we gain as our faith in him stead fastely grows day by day and when we try to obey and follow all his teachings and commands.jesus himself will reveal every thing as your faith becomes strong. This knowledge keeps growing till the our end of life. No body has ever attained a stage where he can boast that he knows every thing of our lord.
Even apostle paul says he has not attained that level.But he will strive very hard for that in future. He says he will move forward keeping his focus only on jesus , leaving aside his dark past life and never to look back again.
We should also leave aside our past sinfull live and grow day by day in faith and knowledge of our lord till we meet him again

PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 2

Philippians 2nd chapter-Apostle Paul highlights the spirit of humbleness here. To be humble in this world is a difficult thing. We get angry when someone insults us or degrades us. But our attitude should be same as that of our Lord Jesus, who being in very nature God, made himself nothing, taking a human form and came into this world. He suffered excruciating death on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He was whipped, tortured, insulted and was nailed to the cross. During this whole period, he did not utter any word against anyone. If he wanted he could have got a whole legion of angels to defend him or destroy everybody who were trying to kill him. This is because He loved us so much and obeyed His Heavenly Father in everything even to the extent of offering Himself as a living sacrifice for the sins of whole humanity to attain forgiveness. Since He had humbled Himself to that level, God the Heavenly Father has exalted him to the highest place and gave Him the name above every name. At the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth. And every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord.
That is why Apostle Paul says we should not do anything out of selfish ambition or with a crooked aim. We should do everything in all humbleness considering others affairs better than ourselves. We should do everything without complaining or arguing and be blameless and pure. When we humble ourselves like this, God will definitely exalt us to a higher position.

EPHESIANS CHAPTER 6

Ephesians chapter 6- Apostle Paul explains why we should have a strong belief in the mighty power of God. It’s because we are not fighting against the evil things in this world, but against the evil spiritual forces and the Satan himself. It is difficult to tackle him with human strength. So to be a warrior He advices us to take the armour provided by God.
By asking Christ to dwell inside your heart and repenting for your sins, you are putting on the helmet of salvation on your head. If you are truthful in all your doings, you are putting the belt of truth buckled around your waist. By leading a righteous life, you wear the breastplate on your chest. When you have unshakable faith in God, it acts as a shield protecting you from the flaming arrows of the Satan. When you are ready to proclaim the love of Jesus, you put on the sandals of the gospel which helps you to move around in the battle field. Finally you have to use the Word of God as a sword to fight the evil head on. What else more you need when God provides you the equipments for both defence and offence. To have all this we should continuously pray in spirit and truth.
He also states children should obey their parents if they want to lead a productive long life. Parents also should train them to lead a righteous life. He also talks about work place ethics. We should do our work whole heartedly and sincerely, irrespective of the watchful employer’s eyes, because God is watching over us. He also advices the masters to be fair with their servants as God is watching over them too. As we know God does not show favoritism.

EPHESIANS CHAPTER 5

Light to the world
Ephesians chapter 5- When light fills up a dark room everything is visibly clear. The darkness departs. Jesus is the light of the world. When He fills our heart with (light) Holy Spirit , the darkness of our heart disappears. We become a new being. The fruits of Holy Spirit being goodness, righteousness and truth , we start being the light to the world. We reflect the characteristics of our Lord just as the moon reflects the sun's light. Also Apostle Paul advises not to have any association with unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them and to walk in love as how Christ loved us by giving His life as an offering for our sins . We should not be unclean, coveting, filthy, or with foolish speech. For these people will not inherit the kingdom of God. But always giving thanks for all the things unto god in the name of our Lord Jesus and praising Him through hymns and psalms. We should be wise and understand what the will of the Lord is and make use of our time on earth for His glory .

EPHESIANS CHAPTER 4

Ephesians 4th chapter mainly emphazies the unity and oneness of our faith. Apostle Paul writes that we are all one body, one spirit We have one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and He is the father of all. Every one of us are given grace according to the will of Lord Jesus.He has given gifts for some to be apostles, some to be evangelist, some to be pastors and teachers.All this is for the work of the ministry and to glorify our Lord. Also to have unity in faith and to gain more knowledge of the Son of God.
He also writes that we should do the job for which He has called with humbleness, perseverance and love. He says that we should strive to keep the unity of Spirit
He also states Christ is the head and all the believers are moulded to Him as rest of the body which work in unity and harmony.

UNITY IN CHRIST

As we all know we are all part of the body of Christ.Some may be Catholics,some may be Protestent ,Baptist,Pentocostal etc. but we all believe in one God, the Holy Trinity, and the present working of the Holy Spirit. Why then the huge division among us? Do our Lord wants this? I sincerely feel he wants us to get over our differences and unitedly prepare the way for His second coming.

Church is a place to worship God. Any church, anywhere in the world built for this purpose is a dwelling place for the living God, be it in India or America,a village or a city. It is wrong to think that you will attain salvation only in a particular church or sect or a cult. God is for everybody and salvation is a free gift. Only you have to ask for it to recieve it. God's presence will be present in any church when you worship Him earnestly.
But to many, church is a social gathering to have tea and for gossips. For some its politics and fame. Elders who are suppose to guide the flock are themselves not worthy for the job. Because ego and pride dwell in the mind and heart where the Holy Spirit ought to be. Sometimes even the church leaders take this ministry as a salaried job.
Beware our Lord is coming soon and everybody is accountable.
l thought I will start this site to purely highlight how loving our Lord is with infinite mercy, grace. And also to blog whatever God guides me to write.Everybody can join me and voice their opinion.Praise be to God
