When God created man and woman, he created them to live with him in glory. We can read what happened in Genesis. 2 Corinthians 3:18 God reverses the tables as far as the world goes.   When you die, you cannot take anything from this earth with you. King David - Psalm 73:24 For the Lord gives grace and glory.  To walk up rightly, we put our faith in Jesus Christ.   1 Peter, we are told we will suffer for a while, as Jesus did.  We also need to know that after we suffer for a little while,  you will be with the Lord Jesus in His glory.  There is a lot of living after this life on earth.  Eternal glory involves the whole person.  We are born into a world that is sinful.  We all suffer.  Our bodies will be raised in glory for those who believe in the Lord.   Philippians 3:21 The resurrected body of the believer will be fully restored,  no impairment,  no deficiencies in heaven.  People in heaven will not be sick, no illness, no lonely, no aching limbs, no impairments. We shall be p

Bible References: Roman's 9:22-23; Colossians 3:4 Abraham was declared as righteous because he lived by faith.  We Believe life is a lot more than just now.  This is a small part of our eternal life. You can be a vessel of mercy or a vessel of destruction. We were a vessel of destruction before God reached down and saved us.  2 Corinthians 3:18 - we are being transformed into glory by God. God will take us through the process of life; if it's up to us, we'll never get there.  God will restore us.  God will not let up until He is through.  The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in our lives.  We need to be vessels that leak; not vessels that hold.   We can take the overflow of God.  He wants us to let His goodness flow through us.  God will supply what we need; what God is pouring through your life.   There will be enough to transform you into glory.   We need to be cracked pots so that God's purpose and glory flow through us. Romans 9 - God chose you! He chos

Bible References: Romans 4:3 Abraham fulfilled the Law yet he didn't have it.   Repentance - I give the Lord my life and let Him direct it.  Abraham did get things wrong, which is comforting.   Yet he allowed God to direct his life.   Man fell From grace in the garden. Jesus restores us. The most important thing - I complete the mission given to me.  The Bible is about God's people living with their God. God created me to fulfil God's purpose.   Being saved is not about getting saved,  and then free for all.  One of the good news stories is if I give my life to Jesus,  I go to heaven to live with Him.  If I reject Him, I don't go to heaven. I live separated from him. Ephesians 2:10 People are created for purpose.   My Life Mission has universal elements:  the ministry of reconciliation (we are all called to take Gospel to all people).  Living the life with God.  We are all given the ministry of reconciliation to tell people about Jesus.  God has custom made me, ma

Bible Reference:  1 Peter 5:10; Ephesians 1:6 Living in a land like Australia,  we have a pretty good life.  We don't experience suffering as other countries have.  Each day Praise God.   Sing praise,  speak praise together or when you are alone. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.   The spirit of grace.  Christianity is not a religion,  it's a way of life.   God loves us and forgives us.  He wants us to overcome sin and live with Him.  If we want to find this grace, we must relate rightly to the God of grace.  He created us to live with and in us.  Developing a personal relationship with God. John 17:3 - eternal life.   Developing a personal relationship with God.   It's about knowing God not just knowing about Him.  Like marriage,  get to know each other more.  Time and communication.   Knowing the Lord is our greatest treasure.  Everything else that competes is considered a loss. Philippians 3:7-8 Getting increasingly acquainted with the Lord increases our relations
