Today we are exposed to social media and we are conscious of time.

Social media tries to influence us through marketing so we follow and like the idols and then we spend money.

 

Symbols of love- red roses, gives, chocolates, jewelry

The Bible in Genesis 1 shows us the creation of the World by God and God created humans

Humans are made in the image of God.

The gift from God that differentiates us from animals is the spirit

Adam and Eve are the first rising stars of love from God

They were given freedom of choices that is free will.

Why did God create the tree?

When God created humans they all have a will that is they are given a choice

God wants obedience in the creation.

 

Genesis 2:17

We are also given this choice

Do we listen to God, off to the world?

How do we measure?

The peace we have when we follow and listen to God through our obedience.

Adam and Eve fell because they chose to listen to Satan

Satan tempts people to follow his steps and to throw away God`s ways

Adam and Eve chose the wrong path

 

God gave freedom to see if there is obedience

Do we have anything in our lives that God wants us to listen to, but we do not understand?

Adam and Eve- they do not understand why they cannot eat from that tree

God will teach us along the way

A star is shiny because it is amongst the dark.

A Christian rising Star should shine in their life amongst the darkness

 

How to shine like a star for Christ?

1) have love.

God wants us to shine the love for others.

Example for being the shepherds of the lost sheep.

Christians whose life shows the love they have for others. Romans 1:14

We should shine love in our lives to reach out to people.

 

2) have tolerance

These days people become angry very easily and people are losing their patience.

The new generation have short attention span.

Going in the way of the Satan make people weak.

today we spend more time on screen rather than looking directly at faces of people.

Society is getting sickly.

 

Sometimes we feel that God is far away, but God is never far from us

Got answers prayers according to his will in the best timing planned for us. Psalm 130:6

 

3)Give forgiveness

1 John 1:19

When we confess our sins, God is gracious and forgives us.

Giving forgiveness to others is a way of us becoming more like Jesus.

 

We have to make all the three qualities become part of us naturally so that we can become more like Jesus and be pleasing to His eye.
