  • Look at God like your father, everyone has rebeled against him in one way or another. Logically, we have no right to come and ask for forgiveness we dont deserve. Now, look at Jesus likea brother, a favorite son of your father. You can go through Jesus, to get back to your father, and your everloving father forgives you and welcomes you back. As we draw closer to God, we should let everything that angers his heart go. Everything we hold on to creates a barrier between us and God. God's spirit also called the holy spirit, comes to us to comfort us, give us understanding and helps us by convicting us of something we have done wrong. The holy spirit wont convict you of something if you cant do anything about it. Because Jesus died we are dead to sin, our flesh and worldly desires have nothing over us, at the same time we are human so we make mistakes, In the same way our brother (Jesus) went out of his way dieing on a cross to break the barrier between us and our father.
  • Great! You Know ! It is the HOLY SPIRIT! These are the passages that will tell us this also, all are Jesus replies: John 3:5-8, Jesus to Nicodemus the Jewish religious leader = "what I AM telling you so earnestly is this: Unless one is born of WATER and SPIRIT, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Men can only reproduce human life, but the HOLY SPIRIT gives new life from heaven; so don't be surprised at my statement that you MUST be BORN AGAIN !! Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it will go next, so it is with the SPIRIT. We do not know on whom HE will next bestow this life from heaven." John 4:21-24 to the Samaritan woman Jesus replied = "The time is coming, ma'am when we will no longer be concerned about whether to worship the Father here or in Jerusalem. For it's not where we worship that counts, but how we worship - IS OUR WORSHIP SPIRITUAL and REAL? DO WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HELP? For GOD is SPIRIT, and we MUST have his HELP to worship as we should. The Father wants THIS KIND of WORSHIP from us. BUT you Samaritans know so little about HIM, worshipping BLINDLY, we Jews KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM, for salvation comes to the world through the Jews." (David's lineage) John 6:43-46 to the Jews questioning HIM as to how to satisfy God HE replied = "Don't murmur among yourselves about my saying that,("I AM the Bread of Life"). For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me DRAWS him to me, and at the Last Day I will cause all such to rise again from the dead. As it written in the SCRIPTURES, 'They shall all be taught of God.' Those the Father SPEAKS to, who LEARN the TRUTH from HIM, will be ATTRACTED to ME. (Not that anyone actually sees the Father, for only I have seen HIM.) John 6:61-65 to HIS disciples(including the 12) trying to UNDERSTAND the TRUE FOOD and TRUE DRINK, HE replied = "Does this offend you? Then what will you think if you see me, the Messiah, return to Heaven again? Only the HOLY SPIRIT gives ETERNAL LIFE. Those BORN ONLY ONCE, with physical birth, will NEVER receive this gift. But now I have told you HOW TO GET THIS TRUE SPIRITUAL LIFE. But some of you don't believe me."(For Jesus knew from the beginning who didn't believe and knew the one who would betray HIM.) John 7:37 on the day of the Jewish holiday, from the temple and to the crowd, multitude, Jesus shouted="If anyone is thirsty, let him come to ME and DRINK. For the SCRIPTURES declare that RIVERS of LIVING WATERS shall FLOW from the "INMOST BEING"(HOLY SPIRIT) of anyone who believes in ME." He was speaking of the HOLY SPIRIT,who would be given to EVERYONE BELIEVING in HIM; BUT the SPIRIT had not yet been given, BECAUSE Jesus had not yet RETURNED TO HIS GLORY IN HEAVEN.) Amen.
