The Over thinkers Guide to Following God
Psalm 139:7-10 Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there your hand shall lead me, And your right hand shall hold me.”
Who You Are
‘For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? …But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.’ 1 Cor 12:14-18 ESV

Salvation: Part Duex
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath. But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life. Ephesians 2:1-10 BSB
Salvation: Part 3
Salvation Third times a charm… Repentance: Turn yo’ self around foo! Repentance sounds big and intimidating but it, like sins definition, is simple with its definition which is to change ones mind and attitude. And while simple, its also one of the most profound actions you will take. Repentance is an acknowledgment that you did not have the correct answer or perspective that created the actions you took and is specific to sin. Repentance is rooted in humility (another unknown word) that basically means you have a correct perspective on your ignorance.
Passing Thoughts...
“A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew because He is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.” Roams 2:28-29 BSB
