Bible Study bits and bobs

The following probably won't make any sense to anyone but me and they are definately in no particular order. But are just musings and bits that I wanted to look up following several sermons.

Passage I wanted to look up;

Romans 8v26
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

Notes
As a believer you are not left to your own resources to cope with problems. Even when we don’t know the right words to pray, the Holy spirit prays with and for you and God answers. With God helping you pray you don’t need to be afraid to come before him.
Ask the Holy spirit to intercede for you “in harmony with Gods own will” Then when you bring your requests to God, trust that he will always do what is best.

Blasphemy
Something which you say or do that shows you do not respect God or a religion
*In connection with 1 John 5
Mark 3v29 Deliberate, ongoing rejection of the work of the Holy Spirit is blasphemy.

Christian love is not a feeling it is a choice.

We can choose to be concerned with peoples well being and treat them with respect, whether or not we feel affection towards them. If we choose to love others God will help us express our love (Notes on 1 John 2 v 10-11)

1 Peter 3v13-14
Now who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead you must worship Christ as Lord of your life.
