Rejoice in the Lord, The Word

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

Jesus tells us to lay up treasure in heaven, not on this present earth.  (Mt. 6:19-20)

As we rejoice in the WORD, we keep our minds stayed on the WORD.  The WORD is our treasure and it is treasure on this earth as we live here and it will be stored up for us also in heaven.

So what WORD is our treasure now?

* THE WORD came to this earth in the form of a man, Jesus, to die for us to pay for our sins with HIS blood.

The people of this world try to save themselves by their own works.

But we are saved by THE WORD, by HIS works.  

As we live in the Word, we abide in HIM.

*  I'm also grateful that God did not leave us alone on this earth.  God and Jesus are with each of us constantly to teach us and guide us and even show us things to come.  We are not alone.  Jesus is in us and with us at all times by HIS Spirit.

II Cor. 13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

I Cor. 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

I Cor. 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

And the Holy Spirit of Jesus who is in us does the following things for us:

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

So we are never alone at any time on this earth.  Jesus dwells in us by HIS Spirit to guide us and teach us.
