Be careful my sister about falling for someone when leaving from another relationship; you know the reason for your break up of your marriage was, your lonely, he didn't make you feel like you were of value.
This new relationship will fill up all those voids of emotions but for a short time, I knew someone who went thru this. Do you know Christ as your savior?
If you want more then advice, you need to accept him and let him work this out for you, because you are needing Christ Jesus more then him. Plus he is working on his own relationship with Jesus.
You need to ask Jesus into your life, ask him to be your savior, and you will serve him the rest of your life.
Do you know why we all are in need of a savior anyway?
Why we need a Savior
This is what the bible teaches us about the reasons for a Savior, with this teaching I want to use the bible to show what were taught about why were in need of a Savior.
From the Fall of man when God cursed the serpant, he for told there would be a savior to come who would destroy the seperation satan had caused that day. Here is the verse were God reveals it.Genesis 3:15;
15. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
So the savior to come would be the one who would repair this , and over come him. So what is this repair about. Well it will be to restore the fellowship between God and mankind. Man was seperated by the death of his spirit from fellowship with God. Fellowship was broken by Adam and Eve breaking his first Commandment of Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of the tree.
After this break of fellowship man became seperated from God and perfect fellowship. God then made the first sacrifice for mans sin, he killed a animal and made coverings for Adam and Eve both. Here is the verse.Genesis 3:21; Unto Adam and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.God shed the Blood of a animal and this is were the very first sacrifice was made apon the earth. Adam and Eve tried to cover up the wrong they had done by making them self covering from leafs but this did not go over with God.
The First thing they did was confess there sins to God and then They first had to take off all there coverings they made and accept Gods own design for Covering.So What do you think was so wrong with them making there own covering or clothes? This must be because it was the human attempt to hide what they'd had done, In a sense they were depending on there own efforts as being enough to make up for the wrong they did. God showed them that it is out of there hands to make things right. But by the Sacrifice God made of the animal was a picture of the savior who was to shed his blood to fix there failure
What would it take to restore the fellowship we lost there in the Garden that day, we must see the standard required for fellowship with God. The only standard shown to us is the Ten commandments. You'll see very quickly just how short we fall from making things right.
1."YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME";
Have you Always put God First in your life, have you loved Him more then you have Loved yourself, are all your desires for Him, does your Love for God make your Love for everything else in Life seem like Hate when you compaire it to your love for God.
Have you always loved other people more then your self.
To God Nothing in Life is supposed to that important, Just Him.guilty_____or Not_____?
2."YOU SHALL NOT MAKE YOURSELF ANY GRAVEN
IMAGE".
This means your not to create a God with your Hands, nor your mind. Anything that you allow in your life that is put before God or that keeps you from seeking him with all your Heart is breaking of this commandent, also because you have formed a false picture of the nature of God. Your mind has created a false god that doesn't exsist, that is Idolatry and God requires death for breaking this one.
guilty_____or not_____?
3."YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD
YOUR GOD IN VAIN".
Have you ever used God as a cuss word. Have you ever used his name to show your disgust at something. Do you use His name without reverance or respect. God Calls that Blasphemy.
The Bible say's Every man shall give a account of every word he speakes openly and in secret.Matthew 12:36,37; But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Just think of every bad word you have ever said in your whole life time you have to be judged for all those one at a time if nessary but the Real sad part is Romans 2:5, 6; But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
guilty_____or Not_____?
4."REMEMBER THE SABBATH AND KEEP IT HOLY".
God requires us to set aside one day out of the week, the day is not what's important here, setting aside one day to give God your mind and Honor & your attention & effections, it's a day of devotion to the God who gives you breath and life to make it thru each day,the very fact he gave you life, health, breath, this is why we are to give Him this day aside, to Honor to him as God our creator, and provider.
guilty_____or Not_____?
5."HONOR YOUR FATHER & MOTHER".
Have you ever talked back to your parents. Have you ever ignored the counsel or advice they gave you. Have you ever done anything that has brought shame to your parents, Have you ever done anything in secrect that if they only knew it would cause them to be ashame of you. Have you always treated them with respect and love that God would be pleased with.
guilty_____or Not_____?
6." YOU SHALL NOT KILL".
You don't have to kill someone to be guilty of this one, The Bible says that if your angry with another person without a cause your in danger of the Judgment, but if you have ever had hate in your heart twords another person, it's murder in Gods eyes. Do you speak about other people and taint them in other peoples eyes, your a murderer and a abominiation to God because you cause division among your brethren.
guilty_____or Not_____?
7."YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY".
Have you ever looked at another person and had a lustful thought, the Bible say if you even look at someone and lust you've commited Adultry with them. If someone has ever looked at you lustful you have commited adultry with them also.
guilty_____or Not_____?
8."YOU SHALL NOT STEAL".
Have you ever taken something, no matter how small nor it's value. What would that make you? A Thief. I know that's harsh but that is what God says. See God Judges the act not by value nor the reasoning.
guilty_____or Not_____?
9."YOU SHALL NOT LIE".
Have you ever told a lie before, have you ever told anything to anybody that wasn't true. To God what does that make you. A lier right. Why you told it is not important to God because it's the act your guilty of.

10. "YOU SHALL NOT COVET".
Have you ever looked at your neighbors thing"s and bought one.
How about Clothes, someones car, job, powerful positions because that is coveting, you can't deny were all guilty of that and we can't even hide those simple things from God because anything hide must be made open before all of heaven to witness against you, it's your Whole life time on trial when your judged.
guilty_____or Not_____?
James 2:10" For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all". If you broke one then your guilty of breaking all. If you found your self guilty then, When God judges you by this standard were would you go.
See all people born will fail when we try to do these 10 commands the ability to do and be the perfection these show, all because of what Adam and Eve did way back in time breaking Gods command. Were told this in Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by
one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
This is were the sacrifice came into being it for told that salvation would come from the shedding of blood not from anything a man could do for himself.As were told in
Romans 3:23; For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of God;
Romans 3:10; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Nobody since the fall has ever lived these 10 commandments perfectly, but remember the sacrifice God made for Adam and Eve, well the savior that would come would fullfill these Laws perfectly, but there is another thing about the savior that set him apart form all humans born. After adam feel he was cursed with death and sinfull actions and anyone born by the natural process"Mans seed and a women" inherit that curse through there blood and Flesh.
That why romans says for there is none righteous, because we all had a earthly father who passed his seed into women. Were told this is Romans 5:12. This is were sin came from for all mankind, ever since this anyone born from a mans seed has this curse in there nature and even in there blood going through your vains. Romans;5:12; Wherefore, as by one man(adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
The biggest proof that sin is real is the very fact that all things that has life in it dies now, doesn't it.That is to scientist a law of nature and this is were it came from, ok.
But God gave these ten commands for mankind to follow after adam and eve failed to keep that one command he gave them. The 10 commandments is the perfection that Adam and eve feel from and now Man could never live theses again since they feel from this perfection state.
You seen that you failed to pass them didn't you. This is were yours and my help comes in.
Jesus came into the world for this purpose to save us from what we failed at. we have 2 big problems our blood is tainted with sin and our nature, it fell from the perfection required by God, the 10 commandments.
Gods plan was to save us because we had no help and he loved us and wanted us back, So God decides to Place, by his own hand, Christ Jesus into a virgins womb, Why?
This by passed the seed of man and made his blood pure because he was full of the Blood of God, he was not givin the sinful blood and inherited sinful nature passed down by a earthly fathers seed.
He being now sinless in blood, he walked, live and fulfilled all 10 commandments perfectly.HE passed this test and became ruler over the power this law had on us all. Jesus said he did not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. That is what he did all 10 without fail.
So when he went to the Cross he shed his perfect blood for the final sacrifice, like when the animal died for Adam and Even , Christ blood was the final sacrifice to seal the deal to restore us.The bible say without the shedding of blood there is no remission or forgivness of sins.
After his death on the cross he rose from the dead, the sacrfice came back to life and ascended into heaven were he sits now at the right hand of God. God being pleased with all his Son did for us, accepted his blood for salvation, so this is why the Bible tells us there is no other name given among men wereby we must be saved.
This means we can only be saved by Christ Jesus sacrifce and if you understand what Jesus did you us to be saved all you have to do is ask him.
If you want good works to get you in then take the 10 commandment test over and see if you pass, you can't and never will none of us will.
Ask God to forgive you for breaking his commands and ask Jesus to save you from your sins and ask him to teach you to follow him, Tell him right now your life is his from this day on.
Don't risk being judged by the law you already know your doomed that way.
If you accepted Christ to save you and meant it, the next step is to follow Christ in baptism, this is a public profession that you have become a follower of Jesus Christ. Why is that important? Jesus said if you believe on him your not to be ashamed of him and he said if you deny him before man then he will deny your before God.
Next find a Christ centered fellowship with other Christians, get a bible and read it everyday to grow stronger in the Lord and to increase your faith. Christ saved you and now you can pray to him for any need,
Welcome to Gods Family.
