The Bible in Christ😊❤.

Philippians 4:4-7😊❤ After prayer walk in Christ in the morning too, then it is Is ABC and 123 in Christ.😊❤ and turn back to His words in Christ. John 14:6😊❤ 1 John 4:1-6( Test😊❤ the Spirits) "4 Dear friends(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) do not believe every spirit, but😊❤ test❤ the spirits to see whether they are from God(😊100%❤), because many false prophets( plural) have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit😊❤( Holy Spirit😊❤) of God(😊100%❤): Every spirit that acknowledge that Jesus Christ( 😊1st❤) has come in the fresh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), dear children(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ in Christ) are from God( 😊100%❤) and have overcome them, because the one( Jesus😊1st❤) who ( Jesus😊1st❤) is in you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ is greater😊❤ than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We( You and I = we😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) are from God( 😊100%❤), and whoever😊❤ knows❤ God( 😊100%❤) listen to us(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤); but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit❤ of truth😊❤ and the spirit of falsehood( no good). "( 1 John 4:1-6 ( Test the Spirits). Do you know why God created cows with four stomaches? I don't but I trust God by faith in Jesus 😊1st❤ despite we might not know it all. By faith in Christ. Thy will be done.( Matthew 28:19-20😊❤) "To move man through God( 😊100%❤), by prayer alone"- faithful missionary( Hudson Taylor😊❤in Christ. He loves God and He also loves people too by His grace( Ephesians 2:8❤ and Romans 8:28😊❤in Christ) in Christ or faithful servant of God too in Christ. Someone asked Dr. Moody a christian in the 1800's "Someone asked: Dr. Moody, could you give us a brief resume of your life?" Mrm Mr. Moody reply: " My name is D. L. Moody. I was born of the flesh in 1836. I was born of the Spirit(good Holy Spirit) in 1857. The fleshly body will one day[ died] but the Spirit- born will live on until eternality"- D.L. Moody.😊❤

1 John 4:13-16😊❤ "13 We know that we live in him and he is in us, because he has given us of his Spirit(yes Good Holy Spirit :), not the bad one but good Holy Spirit😊❤ in Christ). 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father( God our Father😊100%❤ in heaven:) ) has sent his Son( Jesus 😊1st love ❤to me again in Christ.) to be the savior of the world(or also called Earth or world). 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus( 😊1st love ❤to me too in Christ still ) is the Son of God( Do you remember John 3:16?), God lives in him and he in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us."( 1 John 4:13-16 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. All parenthesis parts and symbols in and for Christ. God's words in Christ or The Bible is totally sufficient for me in Christ. 2 Corinthians 12:9( Jesus said to Paul in Christ in part 2 Corinthians 12:9a ) "9 But he said to me, " My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more g l a d l y about my weaknesses, so that Christ'( Jesus') power may rest in me."( 2 Corinthians 12:9 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) J E S U S O Or Christ's power rest in me. :) t. 😊❤

2 Timothy 3:16-17 And Romans 8:28. Read more and serve more in Christ. Philippians 4:4-7😊❤. Remembering a book in Christ. "How to read a Book by Book " in Christ. Also the Best Book from God to us is The Bible to us ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17😊❤) Only God knows how many books we read. Yet The Bible is the Best Book to me in Christ. Nothing to do with what we know or do not know but God knows. Ephesians 4:1-16😊❤

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

My favorite Book in Christ is the Bible. What is your favorite Book in Christ? Matthew 28:19-20😊❤

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Christians books are also good too but the Bible is the main meal in Christ.

John 3:11-24( Love❤😊 one❤ another❤) 1 John 3:11-20 "11 This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you( or us today in Christ too). 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 19 This then is how we know that we belong to the truth( Jesus( John 14:6) is 1st love to me in Christ too in Christ), and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence. 20 whenever our heart condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything."( 1 John 3:11-20 Zondervan NIV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ and for Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( 1 John 3:21-24❤). Amen. 1 John 3:21-24 "21 Dear friends😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤, if our hearts ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤do not condemn us, we(😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤) have confidence❤ before God( 😊100%❤) 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands❤ and do what pleases ❤him❤. 23 And this is his command: to believe( trust😊❤) in the name of his Son( Jesus 😊1st❤ to me too in Christ), Jesus Christ😊1st❤, and to love ❤one another❤ as he commanded ❤us❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. 24 Those who obey his commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit( Holy Spirit❤😊) he gave us."( 1 John 3:21-24 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Because Romans 8:28😊❤ in Christ. God inspires all faithful ones in Him to write or inspires❤ them to share His words in ways people can get access to His words in Christ.
