PSALM #1

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

 

   These lines are not accidental at the beginning of the Psalter. It contains very important things, a truth that we must understand and remember ourselves, as well as explain to others.

   Baptism is an important thing and, one might say, a person's second birthday. At the moment of baptism, our whole body is in water, this is important, so the Bible teaches that this type of baptism is correct. This means that the right decisions must be made in our heads, our hands must help others and try to do any work for God. Finally, we must understand which road our feet should take and where they should NOT go. It's not just places where adultery and alcohol are practiced, but also others – when we get together in the movies and choose which one to watch, every time we need to think carefully about whether we as disciples of Jesus should see it.

      But even that's not enough. In the modern world, you can get to places where we are either at home or in the library - with the help of the Internet. For a long time there is television, which can open the gates to different places, but now only television is capable of this. Sites "for adults 18+", as they are called, advertising and other things - all this is not for us.

   I must say that the truth of God is very simple. How to become a perfect person?  To do this, our thoughts must be correct, everything depends on them. From the thoughts of our actions, from the actions of our habits, from the habits of our character, from the character of the future. But it all starts with thoughts. What about them?  Our brain works like this: there are different thoughts in it, one contradicts the other. What should we do about it?  Choose the right thing, decide, own with you. What are the right thoughts?  We have the scriptures, they will tell us what is true and what is false.

      Our faith and our lives must be built on something strong. A house without a foundation and a tree without a root does not stand, but falls. The root of the tree that stands near the water should be very large and strong, and if not, it will be destroyed by water, it can destroy the stone, but a tree with strong roots will stand and will not fall.

   We disciples of Jesus must be special people. A great danger is if you compare yourself with others, especially these people are unbelievers. Such people think about themselves that they are good enough, but only according to their "ruler". For us, this is unacceptable, we as disciples of Jesus Christ must be like Him and nothing else. That means as He did, so should we.

      Not only should we do this, but we must also preach the gospel to the people. In our hands is the word of God and their salvation, this work is our work. We must explain to them the main truths about our world, about the future and about what to do to be saved. Who does not go to eternal life, goes to perdition, there is no third option, but there is still time to make a choice. We are also required not only to read, listen, and study the Word, but also to do all that is written.

   God is calling us now to preach this message. Our Hebrew-speaking community with this gospel will go to the Hebrew-speaking native Israelites. Do not choose to live as you want and go to perdition as a result of this, but it is better to believe and get a completely different, beautiful future - eternal life and a perfect world without end.
