Christmas Present:
Toward Pleasure is Away from Joy, practically always.
'If you love your life you will lose your Life.
If you hate your life you will gain your Life.'
ps: I always quote this wrong. Send me the correct scripture?

It seems to appear in many passages, according to this Web site: http://www.apostasynow.com/tgd/hateit.html
ReplyDeleteThanks friend. Yes!
ReplyDeleteMatt.10:39 He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake, shall find it.
And in the face of words like these, all theological formulas in which salvation is assured to those who concede to doctrines, submit to ceremonies, abstain from particulars, or contribute to churches, are brought to nothing.
Matt.16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.
Yes....these words are truly hard to hear, for they place before us an ULTIMATUM: in which every attempt to save your life by compromising your loyalty to Jesus Christ, will result in the ruin and loss of the very life you sought to save.
Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for My sake, and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
And we know, that every one of us is going to lose this present life anyway, one way or another, but only those who lose their life for Christ's sake, and the gospel's, shall save it.
Luke.9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.
