The
world needs a Saviour!God, Jesus Christ is that Saviour, the precious Son of
God!Jesus Christ is that Lamb! Jesus Christ could have come down from the
cross and returned to His throne of glory in Heaven.Jesus Christ could have
dropped that cross on the way to Calvary.He could have called
tens-of-thousands of angels; but He allowed the wicked to crucify Him,
motivated by His unconditional love for mankind.
In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. Jesus Christ created all things whether visible and invisible. He is above all, and by Him all things subsist. And He is Head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the first born from the dead, so that in all things He himself might hold the preeminence.
God, Jesus Christ died for your sins.You are a sinner by nature and by choice.Jesus Christ took your sins and charged them to His own record.He went to the cross and paid the penalty for your sins.He says if you’re willing to receive Him in faith; He will transfer His payment to your debt, and His righteousness to your sins.He will impute to you His goodness and impute to His own record your sin; if you in faith will trust Him as your Saviour.
Jesus Christ (God manifested in flesh) is the foundation of our faith, He is also called “the Chief Cornerstone” Eph. 2:20 and 1 Pet. 2:6-7.It is through His perfect life, His death for our sins, and His resurrection that we receive Salvation.From Genesis to Revelation, the focus of the entire Bible is Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.

God, Jesus Christ is holy.Only He has the power and authority to make or declare something Holy.Therefore, no human being has the power and authority to change or annul what
God has personally made holy.
God,Jesus Christ is the true Saviour of the world.His Word will never pass away.God blesses those who seek to please Him.Keep the Sabbath day holy.God never made the sabbath day to be a burden for people-it should be a day of rejoicing and worshiping in Spirit and in Truth.
The
Word of God proclaims Jesus Christ as Almighty God Who came in the flesh
(Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-3,10,14; John 8:57-59; John 10:33; Colossians 1:9; 1st
Timothy 3:16; Revelation 1:8).
Jesus is the Creator of the universe (John 1:1-3,14). Jesus Christ is God’s provision, the Lamb of God, Who shed His blood upon the cruel cross that we might be saved from the death and hell which our own wicked sins have brought upon us.
“He
that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God.” -John 3:18
Luke
19:10 reads, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
lost.” 1st John 3:16a, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid
down his life for us.” Notice the words, “the love of God.” God loves humanity,
which is why He sent His Son to pay the debt for our sins. How could anyone say
that God hates sinners?
God
DOES hate sin, and God IS angry with the wicked every day; but God equally
loves each and every person and desires for them to get saved.
2nd
peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.”God is “not willing that any should
perish.”
The
most precious gift in the universe is Jesus Christ, Whom Simeon recognized in
Luke 2:30 as THY SALVATION, i.e., God’s salvation for mankind.People
cannot save themselves.Salvation is of the Lord. We are saved solely by
Christ’s righteousness (through faith in His redeeming blood sacrifice).
“For THE WAGES OF SIN is death; but the GIFT OF GOD IS eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Romans
5:8,9 reads, “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” God proved His love toward mankind
by sending His Son into this hostile, sin-cursed world and giving His life for
our sins.
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved.
Study
your Bible regularly and follow the example set by God,Jesus Christ when He walked the
earth in the flesh.God leads one through the power of the Holy Spirit and
creates in each Christian His godly character and the mind of Christ.
Wife and mother who had other children.Jesus Christ told John to take Mary into his home and take care of her as if she was his own mother.Mary points people to God, Jesus Christ.Mary said, “whatsoever he said unto you, do it.’John 2:5
Soul-winning
is a COMMAND.There is a specific call to leadership in the ministry; but EVERY
Christian is commanded by the Lord, Jesus Christ to go soul-winning. God wants
us to contend for the faith (Jude 1:3) and take a stand for righteousness
(Ephesians 6:13).
God,
Jesus Christ loves you! God knows
everything about you (even the number of hairs upon your head the Bible says).The
Bible says that there is joy in heaven in the presence of the angels over one
sinner that repenteth.
This
means that other believers who have already gone on to heaven to be with the
Lord rejoice when a sinner repents and comes to Christ for salvation.Through His Son, the Heavenly Father has made
you His adopted child and joint-heir of Christ’s riches.And like a good father, He takes great care
of His children; The Holy Spirit of God: protects, comforts, provides, teaches,
nurtures, guides, loves, and desires your good.God is your Father!
Jesus Christ has paid the debt for your sin-you are now free to worship God
and to fellowship with Him.If you want
God to, He will do the impossible in your life.The Christian life is not complicated-it’s just hard work.
Hebrews
4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and
of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.”
The abundantly sinful woman in Luke 7:47 had been abundantly forgiven by the merciful Saviour and was abundantly thankful to God.
God
intended for His Word to pierce, divide and discern. A weapon’s purpose is for
fighting, defending, attacking and warfare.The best way to expose the darkness
is to shine the Light of God’s Word.
Jesus Christ taught in
Matthew 29:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” Matthew 28:19-20 is
commonly referred to as “THE GREAT COMMISSION.”
The Holy Spirit will teach you how to overcome temptation, gain wisdom, trust God, Jesus Christ, know His will, have peace regardless of your circumstances, and so much more.If you are to grow in the Lord, you need the Word (1 Peter 2:2).
Bear
in mind that helping the Innocent, vulnerable, poor, and destitute on any day
is not a sin.Good works done in my great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ’s name will always
bring Glory to His Great Name and keep the Sabbath’s Day Holy.
Weekly
memorial of God’s creation of Heaven and earth.
The
Sabbath is a great gift of God to mankind.
The
Sabbath is the only day of the week that God has specifically blessed and made
holy.
The
Sabbath is a day of ceasing from labor.
The
Sabbath is a holy convocation-day of assembly and worship.
God
commands all mankind to keep the Sabbath.
God
gave the Sabbath as a sign of remembrance of His covenant with His people.
Sabbath
keeping is a perpetual covenant.
God,Jesus Christ owns the Sabbath.” But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord.
“Who
can find a virtuous woman?For her price is far above rubies.”
Ephesians
6:4 King James Bible
And,
ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians
5:22-33
Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.For the husband is
the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the
Saviour of the body.Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let
the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That
he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.So ought men
to love their wives as their own bodies.He that loveth his wife loveth
himself.For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth
it, even as the Lord the church:For we are members of his body, of his flesh,
and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.This is a great
mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Nevertheless,
let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the
wife see that she reverence her husband.
A
Christian life not the easy life–but it is one filled with joy and peace that
comes from Almighty God Himself.If living for the Lord may be a yoke of wood
but living for the devil is a yoke of iron.Either way, there are no short-cuts
in life.
Remember
that you walk simultaneously in the realm of the spiritual and the temporal.You
are in the presence and care of God whether you are sitting in a church pew,
praying or helping the Innocent and vulnerable, etc.
Being
a Christian is a lifestyle that affects every area of your life.If you walk
with God (obeying His Word), you willbe
blessed.Jesus said, “Whosoever loveth me keepeth my commandments.”IF you are a serious disciple of Jesus
Christ, you will do His will.Here are some things that you must do to live
victoriously in God,Jesus Christ.
The
Bible is God’s word.This is how He talks to us. Jesus is the Living Word, the
Bible is the written Word. When we learn the Bible, we are learning Jesus.It is
like no other book in the entire world–it enlightens the soul with the light of
Christ.
Pray
before you pick it up, ask God’s Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth.
Some of you may not know how to pray.It is simply talking to God.Prayer is also “asking.” Prayer is when we ask God for something; supplication is when we “petition” Him, we keep asking.This pleases God for it is faith.
Some of you may not know how to pray.It is simply talking to God.Prayer is also “asking.” Prayer is when we ask God for something; supplication is when we “petition” Him, we keep asking.This pleases God for it is faith.
You
may not understand everything that you read the first time.As mentioned, the Holy Spirit will help you
to understand what you need to know.You
can also talk with a child of God- a born-again believer.
The devils that had control over you before
you trusted God, Jesus Christ don’t want you to read the Bible nor share His Word–it is dangerous to
them.Reading the Bible will change your
life–it certainly changed mine.
Jesus
Christ paid for our sins with His own precious blood (1st Peter 1:18,19).Just
receive His gift of eternal life and say… “Thank You God, Jesus Christ.”
Love for God, Jesus Christ and neighbour, is the basis for all God’s spiritual law.Whenever God tells us to do or not to do something, His motivation is always love.
The
one who has my commandments and is keeping them, that is the one who loves me.He shall be love by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest to him.
Greatest
Commandments-the whole foundation is the love of God.
“You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with
all your mind.”
“You
shall love your neighbor as yourself”
On
these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.God, Jesus Christ said,”If you love me, keep my commandments.
Belief
in principles is not enough.You have to apply them to your life and live by
them.If you keep the ROYAL LAW, you shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you
are doing well.But if you have respect for persons, you are practicing sins,
and therefore guilty of breaking all laws.
We
are all less than perfect (Romans 3:23). God is NOT impressed with our
self-righteousness at all.The reason is because there’s nothing we can do to
atone for our own sins. Nothing! That’s why we need a Saviour. And thankfully,
God the Father provided One, through the blood sacrifice of His only begotten
dear Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 5:9).
James
2:10 states, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all.” Oh, that believers would stop to realize just how
sinful we all are in God’s eyes, and how loving God is toward mankind, offering
us a complete pardon for our sins by way of the blood sacrifice of His dear
Son, Jesus Christ. Oh, how the tears would flow if believers would simply think
upon this great Biblical truth.
These
commandments are the very words of God himself. The first four commandments
pertain to our personal relationship with God, Jesus Christ.
There
are no good people, spiritually speaking.There are many people in this world
who consider themselves “good” people; but they are not (Romans 3:10).It
matters not if you’re religious or non-religious… you have no
self-righteousness that is acceptable to God, Jesus Christ.
No amount of goodness or good works can get a person into Heaven.God, Jesus Christ’s Word.
The
purpose of the Law is a vehicle by which to bring you and me to the Saviour to
be saved.Once you believe on God, Jesus, the Christ, to forgive all your sins;
then the work of the Law is done.The Law has fulfilled its divine purpose of
showing you and me our desperate need for the Saviour, Jesus Christ (Galatians
3:24-25).
“For he (God the Father) hath made him (Jesus the Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” —2nd Corinthians 5:21
John
15:5, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”Notice
the words, “the same bringeth forth much fruit.”
As
genuine Christians, may we seek to have a broken heart concerning the lost, and
to get into the habit of expressing our heartfelt gratitude toward God for
saving our wretched souls from the curse of sin and the Law.
It’s Jesus Christ Who has the nail-scared hands and feet.
Jesus boldly stated in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” We also read the frightening words of 2nd Thessalonians 1:8, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
You
will know the truth and the truth will make you free–nobody can fool you with
false doctrine.
Get
baptized.
When
you get baptized you are:
Identifying
with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ
Making
a public profession of your belief in Jesus Christ.
Showing
the washing away of sins.
Water
baptism does not save you, it is only an ordinance (that is-something that the
Lord asked us to do, just as the Lord’s supper).Baptism is one of the first
steps of obedience in the life of a believer.But remember, the thief on the
cross was never baptized.
Jesus Christ never baptized anyone (John 4:2).If you have asked God, Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and become your Saviour, you’re all set for heaven.It is the blood of Jesus Christ that washes our sins away, nothing else!
I’m talking about being Biblically born-again by the Word of God.You need to have your SINS forgiven.You are the SINNER, and Jesus Christ is the SAVIOUR. It’s that simple!
Talk to God, Jesus Christ throughout the day in prayer.
“…weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” –Psalm 30:5
Prayer is simply talking to God about whatever is on your heart.When you pray: praise God’s Holy Name for His goodness, thank Him for your daily provision, tell Him your concerns and problems, pray for others (your family, friends, associates and enemies), pray for yourself.
God commands us to pray in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray without ceasing.”This speaks of a life of prayer, not just a prayer life.In other words, prayer should be a part of who we are, not just a ritual we perform every day.
NOTE:ALL soul-winning Christians experience spiritual attacks.You may experience
more temptations and problems than usual, but do not be discouraged and do not
let these things take your eyes off of the Lord.
1.“And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out the bondage.Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
2.“Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven images, or any likeness of any thing that
is in heaven above, or that is in earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth; thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the father upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that
love me, and keep my commandments.”
3.“Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”
4.Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in
six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested
the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it”
The Bible which is the Word of God teaches that the only day that is holy to God is the Seventh day of the week, called the Sabbath day.
Genesis to Revelation-you will not
find a single line authorizing sanctification of Sunday.The scriptures enforce
the observance of Saturday.Sunday
keeping is Satan’s counterfeit that looks Christian and proclaims to be
Christian, but is, in fact, false.
Bible description of a Christian-one who, through God’s grace, has turn from the path of sin and destruction to a life of love, obedience and good works of faith as led and empowered by God’s Holy Spirit.
A Christian is one who has come to realize
that he or she had been under the death penalty which is the penalty for sin, and in need of a Saviour. Jesus
Christ paid that penalty by dying on the cross when He was completely innocent
of any sin.
A
Christian or a born- again believer, then, is one who has had the blood of
Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death applied to him or herself but only after
having acknowledge of their sins (toward God the Father) and accept Christ as
their personal Saviour.
By believing in Jesus Christ and His name, one comes under God’s saving grace (Rom. 3:23)-26;6:23).This grace is a free gift from God totally underserved by anyone. No amount of effort or good works come close to earning this gift of God’s favor. Being a “good person” will not earn you Salvation or God’s great mercy- for God, Jesus Christ does not “owe” Salvation to anyone! Eph.2:8-9
God
has made it clear that once we received His gift, we are not expected to sit on
it, or hide it but to build and continue to build on it, to increase it.
What
did Jesus Christ declared is verified throughout all scripture from Genesis to Revelation.God is not mocked.
God,
Jesus Christ will deal with the unconverted Gentiles as He deals with Israel.ALL
will have their chance for Salvation.He is not willing that any should perish
(be destroyed or miss out on eternal life).God is love, and He is good, kind
and merciful.Keep praying for souls. Fellowship with others of like
mind-following in example of God, Jesus Christ.
God,
Jesus Christ’s warnings to the Seven Churches of Revelation 2-3 are also
prophetic admonitions for the Church today.All who profess His name must heed
these warnings and repent of following Satan and demons and their teachings.
Seven Churches: Ephesus (Rev. 2:5), Smyrna (Rev. 2: 9-10), Pergamos (Rev.2. 13-16), Thyatira (Rev. 2:20-24), Sardis (Rev. 3: 2-3), Philadelphia (Rev 3:8-10),Laodicea (Rev 3:15-19).
A
true Christian-who loves God and knows that His laws are based on love-will in
faith obey from the heart.A Christian obedience will not be based on fear of
losing salvation, etc. but will be motivated by their love towards God because
they understand that heartfelt obedience empowers them to become more and more
like God the Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ. -Walk as He walked.1 John
2:3-6
Build
While You Fight.Don’t Stop Building for God,Jesus Christ! God's love and
comfort to you and family.Prayers.
The New Testament Church has many enemies today, who if we let them, will distract us from getting the work of God, Jesus Christ done.It is so easy nowadays to get sidetracked from doing God’s work.
This is exactly what believers must do today.When the Devil comes at us with all the hordes of Hell, we must continue building while fighting the good fight of faith.
The Church has many enemies today, of which we must continually be on-guard;but we must not allow them to HINDER us from doing the work of God.The work of God is rooted in the Word of God, and encompasses spiritually building people.
The work of God is soul-winning!So many churches today have been sidetracked by the cares and riches of the carnal world.The average church doesn’t go soul-winning. This is a sin.They are not wise (Proverb 11:30).
We need to constantly be on-guard about getting side-tracked from God’s work.Whatever burdens, trials and hardships may be afflicting you personally, or your church, please don’t make the grave mistake of allowing the circumstances to control you.
The Devil will provide us with 100 excuses not to do the work of God; but the world is dying and going to Hell without Christ, and if we don’t warn the world, who will?
The average church today is nothing more than a business, i.e., a non-profit corporation.Ironically, such organizations profit quite well. God’s work is soul-winning.If you stop preaching the Gospel, then you have certainly stopped building.
My
son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his
correction:For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in
whom he delighteth.Proverbs 3:11-12. 
We must obey God, Jesus Christ rather than humans.If
we are obedient to His word, God will enable us to discern truth from error. “If
we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with
another, and THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN” (1st
John1:7).
THE BLOOD OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST—HIS BLOOD ALONE— cleanses from sin!
Remember
therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or
else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his
place, except thou repent.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and
poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they
are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.Fear
none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some
of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten
days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
I
know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou
holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein
Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the
doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the
children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit
fornication.So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes,
which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will
fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Notwithstanding
I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel,
which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to
commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her
space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast
her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and
all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:
and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I
say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and
which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you
none other burden.
Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I
have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not
watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will
come upon thee.
I
know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can
shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not
denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say
they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and
worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast
kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon
the earth.
I
know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or
hot.So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue
thee out of my mouth.Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold
tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and
anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
The
Word of God says in Psalm 30:5, “…weeping may endure for a night, but joy
cometh in the morning.” There is always Light at the end of the dark tunnel for
a Christian.
Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world.If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is not in him.1 John 2:15
God
wants us as believers to get into the habit of crying over lost souls,
maintaining a tender heart of compassion and unconditional love toward others.
Philippians
3:18, “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even
weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.”
For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:and
the government shall be upon his shoulder:and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.Isaiah 9:6
Fear
not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the
kingdom.Luke 12:32
“Cast
thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the
righteous to be moved.” -Psalm 55:22
We read the same beautiful promise in 1st Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name. John 1:12
Father,
I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that
they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before
the foundation of the world. John 17:24
“And
we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose.” –Romans 8:28
God
will one day wipe away all tears, and there will be no more pain (Revelation
21:4).What a day that will be! Only Jesus Christ can make everything right.Amen
Jesus
came to make everything right through His blood sacrifice.Thanks be to God,
Jesus Christ has paid our sin debt, to set us free from the enslavement of sin
(John 8:32-36).Jesus Christ has set the believer free from the curse of the
Law. Amen!This earthly life will soon be o’er and we will be on Heaven’s
golden shore.
We
are PROMISED in Romans 8:28 that ALL THINGS will “…work together for good…” for
every born again Christian. All of the tragedies and bad experiences in our
life WILL work together for good if we believe on Jesus, the Christ.One way or
another, God, Jesus Christ will work everything together for good.
Love,Comfort and prayers in God, Jesus Christ.Amen
God
says in Verse 30 that he has “called” everyone whom He has predestinated.It is
very important to notice in Verse 29 what God has predestinated every believer
to, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the
image of his Son…”God never predestinates (chooses) anyone to salvation.
Rather, He simply knows in advance who is going to be saved, and predestinates
those believers to be conformed to Christ’s perfect image.
God
had our future planned out BEFORE we were ever conceived in the womb. Jesus
said in Matthew 25:34, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” What a beautiful
Scripture!We can’t see the end result of our life;BUT, God, Jesus Christ can.
Let
us live our lives now as the citizens of heaven that we already are and make
good of the reminder of our temporary and short earthly life, because our
eternal life has already begun in Christ Jesus. ”Colossians 3:1, “If ye then be
risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on
the right hand of God.”
John 1:1,14 says, “In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God …And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Jesus Christ is the
Written Word of God personified. Jesus is the Living Word of God. Hence, if the Word of God OFFENDS you, then
you are offended at Jesus.
No matter what happens in this life, God is with those who have been born-again (Hebrews 13:5).God guides and looks over His own.Most people do not know God. It is sad that so many people go to church; yet they are of the Devil, following the traditions of men instead of obeying the Commandments of God.
I WILL COME TO YOU Jesus promised. What a precious Scripture!As believers we have a wonderful Saviour that has promised to come to us in our suffering.
When people hurt your feelings, say bad things about you and play the little games that people play… don’t let them get you down, you just let it go and place them into God’s hands for judgment.God is still on his throne.
When I think of the horrible things happening everyday in this world, I pray for the Lord to return soon to put an end to the suffering. Most people don’t have it good in this life. So many animals and people are suffering in agonizing pain and hellish conditions.
Be comforted if you are a believer on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, that Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). We are on the winning side! Jesus said I WILL COME TO YOU!
Jesus and the Father live within the body of every Christian. Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit! John 16:13, “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.”
Do we each have our own Guardian angel?
Yes! listen to the precious Words of the inspired,
infallible, preserved Word of God…
Did you read that?…”their angels…” We each have a guardian angel that continually waits for God’s next command. Wow! Please don’t misunderstand what a Guardian angel does.“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” -Matthew 18:10
God does not provide us with an angel to keep us out of trouble.If that were the case, we would all be invincible as believers.No, God has provided a guardian angel to obey His orders.
God may in fact ask our angel to cause trouble for us to teach us a lesson. I realize that this is just speculation, but you cannot deny it’s possibility.The Biblical FACT of the matter is that there are guardian angels over us who are continually waiting for God’s next command.
When Daniel prayed for God’s help, Gabriel the archangel was sent to answer his prayer before Daniel even finished praying.It is obvious that angels and prayer are related.
Do you pray? Don’t mess with a Christian! The Bible may be vague on certain issues, but one thing is clear…don’t dare raise up a hand against God’s child or else face the severe consequences.
Look back to verse six…
Need I say more? If you are a child of God, you are of the seed of Abraham…”And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” -Galatians 3:29.What a beautiful truth!But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” -Matthew 18:6
All of the Bible’s promises to Israel will include every saved and born again child of God (whether gentile or Jew).No unsaved Jew will escape hell, and no born again gentile will miss heaven.
John 3:3 proclaims that we must ALL be born again in Christ Jesus or we will not enter heaven.
I sincerely believe that the “great cloud of witnesses” in heaven (Hebrews 12:1) are able to watch the events taking place upon the earth to a limited degree.
Please read the following verse carefully, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Wow! Yes, there are guardian angels assigned to each believer.
The angels are continually watching the face of the Father for his next command. You had better be careful how you treat a born again Christian because their guardian angel is just waiting for God’s next command.This means that we are being monitored from heaven 24/7.
In light of this Biblical truth, I do believe that our loved ones (who would want to inquire about us) are allowed certain desired information.
In addition, take a look at Luke 15:10…”Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
In the presence of the angels? If the angels aren’t the ones rejoicing, then who is? It can only be the saints! The context of Luke 15:10 implies clearly that the believers in heaven are aware to a certain extent of the events upon the earth.
John 14:18, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”Jesus promised that He would not leave us comfortless as we journey through this temporary world. Every believer has the Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9). It is comforting to know that the Holy Spirit of God lives within my body as a believer.
When people hurt your feelings, say bad things about you and play the little games that people play… don’t let them get you down, you just let it go and place them into God’s hands for judgment.God is still on his throne.
Jesus said in Matthew 12:36 that people will be held accountable by God for even the words they speak on Judgment Day. No one is going to get away with anything.God will judge believers for every good and bad work (2nd Corinthians 5:10-11).The same is true of the unsaved, who will be cast into the Lake of Fire forever (Revelation 20:11-15).
The suffering in this world is only beginning. The wickedness of humanity is as it was in the days of Noah, before God destroyed the earth by flood.
Be comforted if you are a believer on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, that Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). We are on the winning side! Jesus said I WILL COME TO YOU!
Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
The Word of God plainly teaches that a person’s heart will be where their treasure is also at. Most people have their heart in the wrong place.Many people’s heart is in their materialistic possessions or some vain earthly pursuit.You cannot take any gold or money with you when you die (1st Timothy 6:7).
The Bible teaches that God wants us to lay up treasures in Heaven by living for God (Romans 12:1-2; 2nd Corinthians 6:14-17), winning lost souls to Jesus Christ (Proverb 11:30; Daniel 12:3; 2nd Corinthians 3:7-8; 5:10-11; Philippians 2:16), reaching out to befriend the least of these (Matthew 25:40,45), contending for the Biblical Christian faith (Jude 1:3) and losing our life for Jesus’ sake and the gospel’s (Matthew 19:29; Mark 10:29-30).
