One God - Three Persons

It has been quite the Road Trip so far! It's hard to believe that just last week we started out from good old North Carolina heading to
Cali-forn-i-a!!!

Thank goodness that we discovered right away that God's Word as our GPS because...

GOD'S WORD WILL LEAD US IN

THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

This week we took a little pit stop in Nashville, TN where we went shopping, visted a few historical sites and hung out at the Diner for a bit. At the Diner we learned a little more about God.

- God is eternal: He has no beginning and no ending because He is the Alpha and Omega (the Beginnning and the End)

- God is the ONE true God

- God is in THREE PERSONS: All the Same God in 3 parts or forms like the 3 parts of an egg makes a whole or 3 forms of water (ice, water, and condensation) but it is still water!

God the Father- the Planner and Creator of the Universe

God the Son- the Savior of the World and Intercessor to the Father

God the Holy Spirit- the Teacher, Counselor and Comforter

All in all GOD IS ALL WE NEED!

it was once said that when ALL that you have is God that is ALL that you need!

memory verse: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

I Can Look Forward to Heaven Because Jesus Forgives Me!

What are you looking forward to? Vacation?... Your Birthday?....Camp?...Allowance?...

There are alot of things we look forward to in life but HEAVEN is the ultimate thing that we have to look forward to!!! It's going to be an AWESOME place where the fun will never end! Far brighter and more beautiful than any place we have ever seen. All of our loved ones who know Jesus will be there! There will be NO crying...NO pain...NO sorrow...NO parting!!!( Revelation 21:4) Nothing will ever be destroyed there. We will worship God and see HIM face to face!!!

I can hardly wait!!!

We learned that when we look forward to something we ANTICIPATE. Therefore we ANTICIPATE Heaven because Jesus died on a cross to forgive our sins.

When we went to the depths of James we discovered that James 1:12 said that after we had persevered through trails we will receive the CROWN OF LIFE!!!

Persevere means that we press through...

Trials are the hard things that sometimes come our way...

Jesus will give us the CROWN OF LIFE in Heaven!!!

memory verse: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
