From rich to richest!

Hello!!!

I have a new spot in the bible that I would like to discuss. Here we go!

Read Luke 18:18-30

In this verse a rich man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. 

So in this case (in the bible) eternal life means that you will go to heaven and have an eternal life there.

Jesus answers the question with 2 main points:

1) follow the commandments that God has given

2) sell everything and then follow Him (Jesus)

Now the first (1) point is quite clear. But the second (2) point might be a little hard to understand. Jesus tells the man to sell everything, wich means all his material stuff. For us that sounds horrible to live with ‚nothing‘. I don’t think God wants us to live without anything, or as we would say „in a poor way“. But with this passage He means that He wants us to surrender to Him, to really follow Him without worrying about our material stuff and without putting a lot of worth in them. Often we are so focused on all the material things that we forget God, we forget to surrender to Him and spend time with him. 

He wants us to live for Him and He wants to be our richness. So that we wouldn’t count our material stuff and then say „I‘m rich when I have this and this and this“. 

=> so all in all God wants us to remember His commandments, surrender to Him everyday, live for Him and have our richness in Him.

Have a blessed week!

Chosen with grace

Hi there!

I have some bibleverses that I want to share. 

Let’s start ;)

What this verse says is actually super clear: God CHOSE you! Not because you were more special than someone else but because He loves you so much that he wanted you for this thing He has for you.

God has chosen everyone for something! When you pray and ask God to show you for what He chose you, He will! Maybe not right away but at his perfect timing. If you think you are not chosen for anything, then you are 100% wrong! So believe you are chosen!!!

You don’t need to do anything for God to choose you! He chose you before you were even born.

But somehow we still all think that we need to prove to God that we are able to fulfill his purpose for us. 

This is a lie. We don’t need to prove anything. God chose us because he already knew that we will be able to do that task. He also knew that we will fail sometimes. That’s why he gave us GRACE.

=> So remember that you have a purpose and that you are perfect for that task. You don’t need to prove it anymore because you already have God’s approval since the day you were born.

Have a blessed week!!!

Religion vs Relationship

Hey guys!

I hope your 2018 started well :)

Let’s get right away to the point.

Many of you have probably heard this statement: „I hate religion but love relationship“ (relationship in the meaning of a relationship with God) or something like that. Well I have heard this like so many times!

Personally I don’t really like it. So today I’m going to explain this. 

People say this because often when we think of religion, we think of rules, regulations and maybe even „old“ stuff. But that isn’t the truth. Religion, in this case  christianity, is actually based on a relationship to God that we have in wich God grants us grace when we are not able to keep his rules (because we are human). There still are rules (even in the relationship) that we need to keep. They are not to harm us or annoy us but simply to make our lives easier (/to take care of us). 

So you can’t divide religion and relationship.

In order to call yourself a „true“ christian you need to have that relationship with God.

It doesn’t matter if you are Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran, Evangelical,... we are all christians and need that personal relationship to God. It doesn’t matter what other differences we have in our believes.

This brings us to my next point. We are often so strong in our own believes that we forget that every christian is equal. You can be catholic or protestant but the base stays always the same: you need a relationship to God.

We often look at all those details and even try to change peoples minds just because we forget the most important. Isn’t that a little crazy? It’s like celling a cake but only giving the plate.

What we need to do is to embrace that relationship and not so much the religion that we believe in. 

But we still can’t divide them from each other. Because as soon as you have that relationship you are automatically a christian!

Here are some verses for you:

•Revelation 3:20•

•1 Timothy 5:4•

•James 1:27•

Have a blessed weekend!!!
