The corner stone

Believing in the son of God Jesus, is believing in the love of God and his compassion, godly love that came to earth for the redemption of man kind. The word is the teaching of the way to haven by means of faith, at first, a written law was established to oppose extreme pagan conditions that we find in the Old Testament, than a knew covenant was prophesies and established with the coming of Jesus-Christ where the word is capture by the heart first for greater understanding by the mind with the spirit and the grace of God.

Jeremiah 33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”

Micah 18 Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of his special people? You will not stay angry with your people forever, because you delight in showing unfailing love. 19 Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean! 20 You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago

I believe all bibles to be much alike and a blessing for salvation; but here I must say that many translations will forget about the capstone by translating continually the corner stone. I find it refreshing to appreciate the culmination of a building that is the spiritual church New International Version (©1984) Psalms 118, 22 The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;

I suggest to keep in mind that the Old Testament announces the Knew. The Jews believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. History was established mostly when God rescued them from Egypt and with the laws transferred by Moses. Still under the knew covenant we must constantly revised ourselves, where individually we must examine our taken path and behaviour so that we do not exchange faith for dues, being under grace is for those that deserve it. Mathew 7, 24-27 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

I am not a scholar of any sort but I am learning something about the bible. I write by my understanding and inspiration. I am such a sinner so how can I be good to reveal any of the Lord’s strength or teaching? The inspiration is mostly what I depend on to be better than myself. We must abandon ourselves to the Lord, because he is the only one we can depend on.

We must appreciate the teaching and effort that went into the construction of the bible and we must ad our testimony by what ever means we can find to evolve with our neighbour in the better sense.

In big cities for example, as we look around at all the technology, the sciences surrounding us, we may understand the extended value brought to nature by man, but it takes a greater understanding or control to appreciate the freedom of cities, because raw nature is always beneficial as we move closer to the country side. Love oversees everything, evolution in love is always beneficial and the heart understands it.

Our world today like through history faces many distresses. We can hold mankind responsible and God for being at time jealous of Idols or being forgotten. Still I do not want to explain major nature catastrophes that loose so many innocent lives, but we must remember that life on earth is short and what about today’s man capacity to deal with such disaster, if only honest unification of love was established?

The bible may be complete; there are still so many stories of saints and great worshipers that are poorly publicised. Like for science where we use the knowledge of transcription to move forward, we should be writing allsorts of songs, hymns, adjacent books and stories to publish and create scenarios for movies and television. It is a shame that we are what we eat and that we do not eat the proper food. We still say that there is no greater power than love. Faith can move mountains, so can love true faith.

We must save our soul and the way to do so is by giving it to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1, 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength. God wants our happiness. Marc8, 35-36 35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Must we sacrifice ourselves? God knows all hearts and all good deeds are God pleasing but if the Old Testament is based on the fear of God the Knew brings forward hope and redemption. Like man uses books and knowledge to advance in new technologies, the Bible nourishes all those interested.

Giving is the secret to gathering a treasure, a divine treasure as we must understand has nothing to do with material things but is spiritual for a better life on earth and in heaven. Jesus gave his life and was resurrected by the Father, so that we do the same.

James 1,25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.

There is nothing to be won by wars except peace and peace comes only with the light of God. Micah is a great book to read that resumes much sense of the bible. To me a way to read the Bible is by knowing the reality of it for historical facts where prophesies are clearly announced and by acknowledging different scales where we determine prophesies or life examples to be adopted, and to do so we must have the light of God inside of us to understand the hurt and aspiration of God’s children, as also the determination and perseverance mostly declared by the word of God trough the prophets. Wars are conquered by arms of light and the love of God.

The Christ was prophesise by is place of birth, in the distress where an example is to be retained for eternal life: The corner stone. Micah 2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah ,out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel ,whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

Isaiah 16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.

Interesting is the following verse that testifies of people hypocrisy: Isaiah 15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death, with the grave we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”

Jesus represents truthfulness and fidelity: Mathew 7, 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. We must recognise ourselves as sinners and declare ourselves as such and throw ourselves to the mercy of the Lord.

John 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

Roman 10, 4-13. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: “The man who does these things will live by them.” 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Bless the Lord! Now and forever, amen.
