This ENDS disappointment

 

John 8:32

King James Version

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.


Do you know how to end all disappointment?

Do you know how to live freely, and happily?

Do you know how to have peace?

Perfect obedience to GOD does it.

A true born again accepts that.

Wholly, heartily, joyfully.

There is a very humbling truth --

Consider how prayers get answered:

1 John 5:14

King James Version

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, 

that, if we ask any thing according to his will, 

he heareth us:


It's always "according to his will".

That's the secret of progress, happiness, and peace.

And primarily of salvation.

We are saved from our wilfull selves.

We are saved from our corrupt ways.

We are saved from our erroneous thinking.

GOD always knows what's best for us.

We can rebel all we want, but that's GOD's truth.


Being born again teaches you to accept GOD's laws.

It's the only way you can understand Scripture.

It's the only way SPIRIT can teach you.

JESUS commanded we be born again:

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


That's what makes us true children of GOD.

This perfect obedience to the Father. 

JESUS did teach us how to pray to GOD:

Matthew 6:10

King James Version

10 Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done in earth, 

as it is in heaven.


JESUS is the perfect example of perfect obedience.

He was consistent in His love for the Father.

He was that spotless lamb, who died on the cross for us.

By His blood, we have been saved from our sins.

The Bible speaks of this perfect obedience:

Luke 22:42

King James Version

42 Saying, 

Father, if thou be willing, 

remove this cup from me: 

nevertheless not my will, 

but thine, be done.


John 6:38

King James Version

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.


John 17:4

King James Version

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: 

I have finished the work 

which thou gavest me to do.


All that JESUS did, was dedicated to the Father.

It always honored the Father.

He taught us to do the same.

He existed only to do GOD's will.

Why should we not do the same?

Why should we want to perish from our sins?

Why should Scripture not correct us in our thinking?

Does it make sense to follow the enemy of CHRIST?

Everything that is in the world, is not of GOD.

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.


Decisions are easy when GOD makes you born again.

You live, and breathe, Scripture.

You follow GOD's commandments.

You follow the path paved by JESUS.

All become peace.

With acceptance, comes peace.

With obedience, follows peace.

And never disappointment.
