LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 8/7/14

-








My Sunday school teacher always told our  class that we should be good if we wanted  to go to heaven.  I have heard my pastor  preach the same thing. 
I believe that there is a heaven and a hell.  I believe it because  the Bible says so. I  stand on the scriptures:


JOHN 17:17   

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.


2 TIMOTHY 3:16

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,  for instruction in righteousness.



The rest of this week I'll share scriptures about  heaven.  The Bible gives several descriptions of heaven. This includes the atmosphere, the outer space where the stars, moon, sun,galaxies, and planets are. There is mention of a paradise, and  
the third heaven also.  The scriptures that I am sharing with you, should explain to what heaven
is, how it looks, and why we should want to go
there. There are a multitude of scriptures about
heaven and I'm sharing the ones I feel portray
my message. 

Today, I will share scriptures describe heaven as a place.




LIFE LESSON:
THE LORD  AND ANGELS LIVE IN HEAVEN


MATTHEW 6:9-10 

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

MATTHEW 18:10          

“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

JOHN 3:13  

No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

Hebrews 8:1

Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,




LIFE LESSON :

 ELIJAH & DAVID WENT TO A PLACE CALLED HEAVEN
 

2 Kings 2:11

Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

ACTS 2:34

“For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,


PSALM 16:11 

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.



LIFE LESSON:

OUR FATHER GOD HAS PREPARED A PLACE FOR BELIEVERS  IN HEAVEN


JOHN 14:1-3 

1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 
2 In My Father’s house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.



2 CORINTHIANS 5:1      

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

  

HEBREWS 11:16  

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

 

1 PETER 1:4


4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
