THE ONLY WAY!

“Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. THE WAYS OF THE LORDARE RIGHT; THE RIGHTEOUS WALK IN THEM, but the rebellious stumble in them.” (Hosea 14:9) [Who is wise? and HE SHALL UNDERSTAND these things. Perhaps Hosea the prophet was accustomed to conclude his sermons he preached with these words, and now he closes with them the whole book knowing that the way of the Lord IS ALWAYS THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO FOLLOW!] “For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Who, then, are those who fear the LORD? HE WILL INSTRUCT THEM IN THE WAYS THEY SHOULD CHOOSE. They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.” (Psa. 25:11-14) [How blessed we are to be instructed by the Lord, to know the only path to choose!] “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches themHIS WAY.” (Psa. 25:9) [The way to keep ourselves in God’s love is to follow Him in His way!] “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. THESE ARE THE VERY SCRIPTURES THAT TESTIFY ABOUT ME…” (John 5:39) [Our Abba Father loves us so much that He gave us His one and only Son, to show us the only way!] “…I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through me. IF YOU REALLY KNOW ME, YOU WILL KNOW MY FATHER AS WELL. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (John 14:6, 7) [The disciples of Jesus wanted to know how they would know Him as the ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE, but the world would not know Him!] “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and WE WILL COME TO THEM AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH THEM. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS AND WILL REMIND YOU OF EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID TO YOU.” (John 14:23-26) [Thank you Abba Father, for sending us the Holy Spirit; TO LIVE IN US and keep us on the right path!]

Be blessed as you praise The Lord, knowing that:

IF WE REALLY KNOW JESUS, WE WILL KNOW HIS FATHER AS WELL, BECAUSE JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!
