Why God is Present in Time.

You might think that God is a distant deity, that His existence is apart from time, but you have a wrong view of God’s abiding presence. Time is something that the Lord created, He fully exists outside of time in eternity. There is not three Gods, but One God in three distinct persons. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. When a person gets saved or born again, the Holy Spirit essentially takes up residence in that person’s physical body and their spirit or soul. God essentially lives inside the body and soul of a person who is born again, that is why the bible says “be holy for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16)

There is no being holy, apart from the Holy Spirit. The Spirit uses all conditions and circumstances and people in a believers life, to make that person holy. God is holy, so to live in His presence now, and eternally one must have the Holy Spirit. You cannot buy the spirit, he is given freely when one repents of their sins and trusts in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, which I did when I was 21. I am now 47 and the Holy Spirit is still in me the same way he was in me, when I was 21.

God doesn’t change, and because the Son of God already died for my sins and rose from the dead for my justification, Jesus no longer needs to die for me and God has given me and all true christians the gift of the Holy Spirit to be with me forever. Even after death, the Holy Spirit will abide with me for all eternity. This is why we will be able to live in holiness, love and perfection for all eternity, because of what Jesus did for me on the cross and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

I as all other believers can never be separated from God, because not only is God’s Spirit with me, but he is in me, sanctifying me daily. God exists outside time, but Christ through the Holy Spirit exists in time. He is building His church, and he lives inside of all true believers through the Holy Spirit. This is Mike.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
