  1. Amen and in addition: John 15:18-27 King James Version (KJV) 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
  2. Very well said Wesley
  3. Behold, again I will repost this to you. We need to know that misuse and abuse of grace is not acceptable to God the Father, the bible says, shall we continue to sin so the grace of God may abound? certainly not...yes we are under by the grace of God but we need to understand that grace is not also a license to continue to sin. Romans 6 New King James Version (NKJV) Dead to Sin, Alive to God 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
  4. Again Repost: A good picture here is Mary Magdalene in John 8:4-11 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery, The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who, has never sinned throw the first stone!”8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” Insights: Jesus said, "Neither do I . Go and sin no more- it means that we were already forgiven from all sins but Go and sin no more, it means stop committing adultery or fornication. 1 Peter 1:15-16 " but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” Keywords: In all conduct. "Be Imitators of God" Ephesians 5:1-2 Amplified Bible (AMP) 5 Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, Keywords: the breastplate of righteousness must be put on 24 hours a day. Conclusion: All above scriptures are under the new covenant or under the New Testament, so it means we need to live a holy life as well and not to contiue to sin.
  5. Question: Who we are in the eyes of God the Father? A. A Foolish Virgin B. A Wise Virgin Foundational Text: Matthew 25: 1-13 "The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins" 25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming. Conclusion: For me, I am determined to get “Ready”, keeping the lamp burning with enough oil and get “Ready” to be with Him to the wedding. For we know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

  7. Behold, I am very much agree about the above context from Mr. Novus.

  9. I am totally agree with you Behold …to your explanation about the salvation, the grace of God, the mercy of God, the blood of Jesus Christ and His sufferings, all of these are true. And these are the truth before we received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior..and yes we were forgiven already the moment that we received salvation. I am citing about our life already with Jesus Christ and God is our Father... in short we are already inside the kingdom of God.…this is what I said >>>>>>>>Be reminded We need to know that misuse and abuse of grace is not acceptable to God the Father, the bible says, shall we continue to sin so the grace of God may abound? certainly not...yes we are under by the grace of God but we need to understand that grace is not also a license to continue to sin.

  13. Yeay, I am super agree Christians marry Christians, in addition should be in the same belief that Jesus is the center of marriage.
  14. Well, a Widow or a Single Mother ..is entitled to get marry..so be it Lord.. really this topic of Divorce is large.
  15. One flesh is biblical Inside marriage Mark 10:8 "8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh" or we call it Fusion. So, sex outside marriage we call it adultery, fornicators and never never in one flesh..rather "Lust of the Flesh".
  16. It means that, marriage can only break or invalid is death, so if the husband or wife are both alive they are both bound by vow that instituted by God. And if, the husband or wife will get into another sexual union or third party involve we call it adultery or fornication and this kind of sex outside marriage is not from the Lord. It means sex outside marriage is not from the Lord. To balance with, from my past life without Jesus Christ I made mistake but the good news when I found Jesus Christ in my life…the Lord forgave me, delivered me and made me new creation. Again, sex outside marriage is not from the Lord.
  17. Thank you Sonshine for the lamp photo, you emphasized the importance of the lamp. Stay blessed
  18. “AN EVALUATION TO DETERMINATION” Question: Who we are in the eyes of God the Father? A. A Foolish Virgin B. A Wise Virgin Foundational Text: Matthew 25: 1-13 "The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins" 25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming. Conclusion: For me, I am determined to get “Ready”, keeping the lamp burning with enough oil and get “Ready” to be with Him to the wedding. For we know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
  19. Amen, so salvation is a free gift through grace and mercy even we are undeserved..
  20. Once again, another additional dots to connect>> 1 Corinthianss 2:7-10 Amplified version 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestined before the ages to our glory [to lift us into the glory of His presence]. 8 None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written [in Scripture], “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” 10 For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding].
  21. In connection of your above scripture Novus>>>> 1 Peter 1:18-20 & John 1:29 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
  22. Yeay! In addition to that scripture Novus, Luke 4: 18 and Matthew 28:18-20 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen.
  23. In addition, the Lord says be watchful that no one may deceive the Devil is like a roaring lion. 1 Peter 5:8 King James Version Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
  24. Hi Liza, Welcome to worthy and nice to meet you. Hope you find and acceptable to you the explanation of Novus as I am agreed from all his insights and supported scriptures that links to Covid that you worried about. Stay blessed and Jesus loves you.
