“SAY HELLO TO TEN STRANGERS…”

“SAY HELLO TO TEN STRANGERS ON NOVEMER 21 – WORLD HELLO DAY. BY GREETING OTHERS, THE MESSAGE IS FOR WORLD LEADERS TO USE PEACE RATHER THAN FORCE TO SETTLE CONFLICTS.” ( I am reading that in the NOVEMBER 2006 Reader’s Digest)

I like to say HELLO to strangers every day and tell them about the Lord Jesus Christ and the message of JUSTIFICATION.

One result of JUSTIFICATION is PEACE. Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God.”

Alban Douglas writes in his book ONEHUNDRED BIBLE LESSONS on page 118  that we have:

1. PEACE of conscience through the mercy of God.

2. PEACE of heart through the love of God.

3. PEACE of mind through the truth of God. We are very familiar with the phrase “Peace of mind.”

4. PEACE of soul through the presence of God.

Luke 23:33,34 in the Paper

With great joy I discovered a verse from the BIBLE in the paper today. (The New Zealand Herald, Monday, April 9, 2012)

On page A 28 at the bottom in the left corner it says: “TEXT FOR TODAY”

And the verse from the BIBLE is Luke 23:33,34

“When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him,…… Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they don’t now what they are doing.'”

WAR CRY GIVEAWAY

To be in to win a copy of  TRUE RED tell us how God rescued you from darkness into light.

SEPTEMBER, 1958, EVENING

God the Holy Spirit rescued me from darkness (hell) one evening in September 1958 and I am almost certain that it was the 2nd of September 1958. I was 18 years old at that time and that was more than 50 years ago.

On that day in September I had my second birthday (regeneration).  I passed from darkness to light.

I have learnt that the new birth (regeneration) is a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. John 3:8

I have also learnt that the new birth (regeneration) is a secret work of the Holy Spirit. John 3:8

When I passed from darkness to light, (second birthday) I understood the BIBLE all of a sudden. Before that the BIBLE was for me like any other book.

In Ephesians 1:4 it says, “FOR HE CHOSE  US IN HIM BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD TO BE HOLY AND BLAMELESS IN HIS SIGHT.” Notice “…before the creation of the world…”

In First John 5:13 we read, “I WRITE THESE THINGS TO YOU WHO BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW  THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.” Notice  “….know that you have eternal life.”
