I love the accounts of Jesus and Mary but no one tells it like James even now I have not heard it where Mary stands behind Jesus most pastors don't mention that. Love This🛐👍
I grew up in a home with a person with bigoted views, probably due to his own insecurity in some cases. This is ingrained in me to this day. I pray to be rid of a judgmental spirit.
John 5.24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
If you really believe in Jesus, you believe in HIs word - all of His truths. We don’t know Jesus if we don’t know all of His truths for us. If we truly believe in Jesus, He will dwell in us (we are the temple of God), and we will dwell in Him. We WILL have His character attributes because He has the creative power to change us - to transform us back into His image - which is His laws and His character. He will write His laws on our heart and mind.
This is such a wonderful text, and even though it seems to contradict 2 Cor. 5:10, it doesn't. - *Judgment begins with those who profess to believe in God:* "For the time is come that _judgment must begin at the house of God_ : and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" (1Pe 4:17) - *Everyone's name, who profess to believe God, is written in the book of life or the book of the living* : "For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. _Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous_ ." (Psa 69:26-28) "And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, _whose names are in the book of life_ ." (Php 4:3 ) - *Not all who profess to believe God are truly followers of Christ; some are like Judas or just having a form of godliness:* "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Mat 7:21) - *Jesus in now in the heavenly temple making intercession for us:* "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and _I will not blot out his name out of the book of life_ , but I will _confess his name before my Father, and before his angels._ " (Rev 3:5) "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God *for us:* " (Heb 9:24) Judgment is now going on in heaven, and not all whose names are written in the book of life are real believers. Some names are going to be blotted out. Jesus is now pleading for us before the Father and the angels. Jesus is our advocate (1Jn 2:1). When our names are called up in the judgment, we stand clothed with His righteous life as if we have never sinned, because our sins are transferred to Jesus, our sin bearer. We pass from death into life. In this sense, we shall not come into the judgment of the wicked during the millennium. (Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. Dan 7:22)
Thank you, James! Just what I needed to hear! Blessings! From your Sister in Christ, Rebecca.
This is a very timely message from God's Word. Thanks!
Love this🙏😁
By there fruits you shall know them.

Is not the Pope the man of sin?
Correct😁
It’s the system.. It’s nothing personal, but God loves the person
