Topic : BORN OF GOD PART 3. May The Lord continue to guide us in our daily study on how to be a ready CHRISTIAN that shall go with savior Jesus Christ whenever he shall come. Lets continue in our study about God characteristic because when we claim to be born of him, then we should be like him. 1 john 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Another nature of God is : 3. JOY : God himself is joy because if God does not rejoiced, there is no need for angel to praise him. Joy is an important nature that a CHRISTIAN most posses because the bible tells us to rejoice in The Lord and to be joyful always, although not in din or filthiness, but in holiness and obedient to Gods word. Somebody that is born of God does not rejoice when he see others falling out of the way. It is very important for a CHRISTIAN to rejoiced in trials and persecution, to rejoice and be joyful, because it is joy that strengthen a christian to defeat the devil, he that always cry shedding tears in trials will always be conquered by devil, when you found your self in problem rejoice. There is evil joy : to be joyful because you finally sleep with a girl you have been looking for. To be joyful because that man that hate you die, to be joyful because the man that was accusing you had an accident, to be joyful because somebody loose his job, to be joyful because they sack somebody from his working place, all this are evil joy, and if any CHRISTIAN have any habit like this or similar to this, such a person can not inherit the kingdom of God. A christian does not joyful because of earthly gain but because of heavenly gain. Rejoicing in evangelism, in praying, in helping Gods work, not saying am I the only one ? Then pride enter you which would make you to loose your reward in heaven. But do everything with a joyful heart. 4. FAITHFULNESS : everything God does, he do it faithfully, and all his promise always come to pass. He can not lie. Are you too faithful in your work , evangelism, in studying the bible, in your school, in your family, in your marriage, in your business, are you faithful ? If you lack this nature of God, you wont hear the sound of the trumpet.
