I am on team sinless and holy God, Jesus Christ.God is good and merciful.Never give up.Philippians 4: 13.Sharing God’s Word and helping others for His glory makes me happy and content.
I’d rather share God’s great truths to help others, and show them the path to heaven than share billion dollars’ worth of lies to trick and rob others of eternal life in heaven with God, Jesus Christ.
John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
You are special to God,Jesus Christ.Allow Him to take control of you.The Bible says that if you take delight in the Lord, he will give you the desires of your heart.Live for God and make His kingdom your primary concern. Matthew 6.33.Set the right goals, and start storing up your blessed treasures in heaven.Lasting success.
Ask God, Jesus Christ to forgive you for your sins, and for Him to be your God and Saviour.If you ask God to be the Lord of your life,you can have sweet fellowship with Him and the promise of Eternal Life in Heaven.
Don’t miss out on the greatest gift that God,Jesus Christ has ever given people.Always remember that all humans are born with a sin-nature,and can’t go to heaven without God’s great mercy-SALVATION.
Romans 3:25, “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.”
We learn from the Scriptures over and over that salvation belongs to the Lord.Man’s part is simply to BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (Acts 16:31).
John 16:20, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”What a needful passage of Scripture in these dark hours of history! God, Jesus Christ said that Christians would be sad and sorrowful while the sinful world rejoices.
The Bible Teaches that the World Hates Christians.Jesus Christ said that the sinful world would HATE US, and they do. John 15:19, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”
The more one takes a stand for God and truth, the more hated and persecuted that person will be.The Bible teaches that God-fearing, Christ-honoring, sin-hating, soul-winning, Bible-preaching Christians WILL BE hated by the world.
Jesus the Christ never sinned even once in His entire life (2nd Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15), yet the Jews cried out for Barabbas (a murderer according to Mark 15:7) to be set free and they wanted Jesus crucified to death.So typical of cruel abusers.
This is how the world reacts to God and truth—rejection. The world shows no mercy for the Christian; but they have sympathy for the devil.The world is evil.The murderers cry out, “Crucify the innocent, helpless and those who are ill”; while God’s children cry out, “Please help them or release them from captivity.”Will you choose Barabbas or God, Jesus Christ?
Luke 6:22, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.”
Any true Christian who loves the Lord Jesus Christ WILL BE PERSECUTED… 2nd Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
Mark 4:21, “And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?”
We ought not curse in God’s name, commit fornication, indulge in sodomy and pornographic videos, or go to strip clubs or Sin City Las Vegas as the heathens do.We ought not divorce as the wicked do.However, if your spouse is a lying, gas-lighting, abusive cheater who simply don’t care about your well-being and safety-divorce the heartless fool immediately.
Don’t listen to ungodly advice from his or her friends and relatives who only care about themselves.Your life is precious and valuable to those who love you, genuinely.We belong to God, Jesus Christ.Our Christian faith is being tested every moment of every day.A faith must be tested.
A
Christian who is right with God, Jesus Christ cares—which causes them to hate
animal cruelty, domestic violence, child abuse, smoking, drunkenness, unwanted
sexual advances, mind-control, sexual assault, sodomy, brain-washing
technologies, horrific games, death threats, murderous biological weapons,
sex-culture of fornication, gas-lighting, and other evils which provoke the
judgment of God (Romans 1:24-32).
“Ye that love the LORD, hate evil” (Psalm 97:10a).Something is very wrong with a professed Christian who doesn’t get upset over the wicked condition of this sin-cursed world. While the heathen world rejoices in their selfish and self-centered lives, delighting themselves in the pleasures of sin and making merry in their Christless lives; born-again believers are crying out to God the Father for Jesus Christ to come.
Death for the Christian means life in Heaven; but death for the unsaved person or God, Jesus Christ’s rejecters means damnation in the Lake of Fire.
Ecclesiastes 11:9, “Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes:but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.”Go ahead, live it up, if you dare; but your day of reckoning with God is fast approaching.
John the Baptist loved God and righteousness.John’s heart was saddened by the sin he saw and the destroyed lives.John was angry over sin and it showed in his preaching. When Herod began an adulterous affair with his brother’s wife, John had a few words to say… Mark 6:18, “For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.”It was this remark that cost John his head.John wasn’t beheaded for preaching the Gospel, he was beheaded for preaching against adultery, Herod’s adultery.
Apostasy abounds everywhere nowadays.Few people have genuine faith in the Word of God and Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God.They unsaved adamantly believes that they are going to Heaven because of their faith in idols and demons and so called “GOOD WORKS”.Adding anything to faith alone in Jesus is a false gospel and a guaranteed road to hellfire (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Would to God that we had more believers today who would be willing to lose all for the sake of preaching the truth.When you take a stand for God, I mean with the truths of God’s Word, expect all the demons of Hell to attack you and those around you.
Satan wanted to sift Peter as wheat for a good reason (Luke 22:31)—because the Devil knew that Peter was ignorant concerning the Scriptures. When Jesus the Christ announced to His disciples that He was to be crucified in Jerusalem, Peter swore that he’d fight ’til the death to prevent it from happening to protect Jesus Christ.
Peter thought he was doing a good thing, but Jesus the Christ absolutely needed to go to the cross to pay for the sins of mankind.Peter was ignorant concerning the Scriptures and; thus, vulnerable to Satanic influence.
Ye Shall Be Sorrowful… the World Shall Rejoice!Jesus Christ said that we would be sad and sorrowful in this world; while the sinful world parties and rejoices in their sinful ways.
John 16:20, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”
Please notice that Jesus said one day our sorrow will be turned into joy when He returns. Praise God! Again in John 16:22 we are told, “And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.”Notice what Jesus said… “and your joy no man taketh from you.” It is people that often take our joy away. Jesus said this.
I’ve heard some people say, “No one can make you unhappy except you.”That is not always true.Jesus Christ said that people will rob our joy sometimes.It’s inevitable. Oftentimes people do make us unhappy.
Misery loves company and miserable people don’t want anyone else to be happy.There are some very cruel people in this world, who will hurt you just because they can.And there are some very sweet and decent people.
Jesus said that when He returns, NO MAN will ever take our joy away again.Until that wonderful time comes Jesus gave us John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” People may rob us of our joy at times, but they can’t take away our peace of knowing that our name is written in Heaven, and that the Lord will one day return and make everything right, and no one will ever hurt us again.
Jesus Christ said to BE OF GOOD CHEER in knowing that He has overcome the world, i.e., we have the blessed assurance and divine promise that one day God, Jesus Christ is going to make everything right.
Revelation 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Amen and amen!
Psalm 13:5, “But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.”
Psalm 18:35, “Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.”
Psalm 20:5, “We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.”
Psalm 21:1, “The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!”
Psalm 21:5, “His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.”
Psalm 35:3, “Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.”
Psalm 40:10, “I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.”
Psalm 40:16, “Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.”
Psalm 51:12, “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psalm 69:29, “But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.”
Psalm 69:13, “But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.”
Psalm 9:14, “That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion:I will rejoice in thy salvation.”
Psalm 70:4, “Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.”
Psalm 71:15, “My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
Psalm 85:7, “Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.”
Psalm 106:4, “Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation.”

Psalm 119:166: LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.”
Psalm 119:174: I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.”
Isaiah 17:10, “Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips.”
Isaiah 62:11, “Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”
Revelation 22:12, “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Laying up treasures in Heaven by our own labors has nothing to do with going to Heaven.We are saved by Jesus’ righteousness alone, and not by any self-righteousness on our part. Salvation is NOT a reward, it is the free gift of God.
As born-again believers God pleads with us to, “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:1-2).
Romans 12:1-2 is not a plan of salvation; but rather, tells us what God expects of believers, i.e., those who have rested in Christ’s righteousness for the forgiveness of sins. We don’t live for God to GET saved; we live for God because we ARE saved.
For those of you who want to have “an honest and good heart” as Luke 8:15 teaches, then you need to keep the Scriptures and become a Soul Winner.
Luke 8:15, “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”
Matthew 6:20, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.”
The Bible tells us to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” This is true wealth. So many people have departed from the Christian faith because of love for money, whether it be paper money, gold and silver, real estate, etc. It’s not a sin to invest; but it is a sin to become engulfed with making money.
1st Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
Jesus Christ taught us to lay up treasures in Heaven “where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.”Any wealth you may accumulate in this world is vulnerable. Thankfully, they cannot touch our heavenly rewards.This is exactly why Jesus told us to lay up treasures in Heaven.
The material things which the Lord will give us in eternity will last, retain their good condition and be free from damage. For this fact, Jesus encourages us to work to lay up treasures in Heaven. Amen!
First, you must be a born-again Christian, or you’ll never see Heaven.Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin and comes to God on the basis of being a hell-deserving sinner; believing on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, to forgive their sins.
Second, as a Christian, everything that you do for Jesus’ sake or the Gospel’s will be rewarded.
Mark 9:41, “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” Even the person who helps a person who serves God will receive a reward from God. If God will reward us for even giving a cup of water, then how much more shall He reward us for preaching the Gospel to lost sinners and helping the poor in Jesus’ name.
Proverb 19:17, “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” The poor are near and dear to the heart of God. God has promised to reward those who help the poor.
Matthew 5:10-12, “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
Luke 6:22-23, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.”
Luke 6:35, “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”
The Soul Winner will be rewarded. 1st Corinthians 3:8, “Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.” God will reward us for our individual labors in the Lord.
God doesn’t reward us for the number of people who get saved; but rather, for the effort we put forth to get people saved.Our part is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ; it is God’s part to convict lost sinners and save those who come to Jesus Christ.
Everything that one does as a Christian for the Lord Jesus Christ—soul-winning, doing good, helping the innocent, abused, helpless, elderly, and the poor, lending without hope of return, teaching the Bible, contending for the faith, loving our enemies, passing out Bibles—will be greatly rewarded by God in eternity.
Please understand, none of these things will get us to Heaven.We are saved solely by Christ’s righteousness; and not by any self-righteousness of our own, and a good thing, because we have none to offer God (Isaiah 64:6).Hence, we don’t do good works to become a Christian; we do good works because WE ARE Christian.
The greatest treasure in Heaven for me will be my family, the animals, and the souls of people saved through the preaching of the Gospel.That is the greatest treasure of all.
1st Corinthians 3:7-8, “So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.”
The Scriptures plainly teach that God will reward every believer according to their own LABOUR. Please note that this has absolutely nothing to do with salvation, for we are solely saved by Christ’s righteousness (Romans 4:5-6; 2nd Corinthians 5:21; Titus 3:5).
The Greek word for “labour” in 1st Corinthians 3:8 is “kopos” and means “to toil (as reducing the strength).” It means that the more we labour for the Lord until we become weary and tired, the more He is going to reward us. Those who stay up late into the wee hours of the morning, going the extra mile, working relentlessly, sacrificing their time for the Lord’s sake and the Gospel’s, will be greatly rewarded.
The Bible teaches that EVERY person will receive his OWN reward for his OWN labour. Every believer will stand before God and give account for the good and the bad done in this earthly body (2nd Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:12).God assures us that we will EACH receive our OWN reward for our OWN labour, and it will be OURS to enjoy.Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ.
I don’t know about you, but that makes me want to do as much for God as I can while I’m here on earth.And no amount of slander or criticism from our enemies will affect our rewards and treasures in Heaven, because God rewards us according to our OWN LABOUR.Amen and amen!
Revelation 22:12, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
The Book of Daniel, in the Old Testament, teaches that Soul Winners will shine as the brightness of the stars in Heaven. Only God can save anyone (1st Corinthians 3:7).Yet, God uses us as vehicles by which to win those folks to Him. Carefully notice that Soul Winners will shine as the brightness of the stars in Heaven. Stars stand out in the night sky. Soul Winners will be the celebrities in Heaven.
Only sinners saved by God’s grace will be in Heaven (Ephesians 2:8-9). Anyone can be saved if they’ll come for forgiveness through the Son of God (John 14:6; Acts 4:10-12; 10:43).In Heaven, it is Soul Winners who will be celebrities. Amen
The Bible says that they who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars of the universe. The only true righteousness is Christ’s imputed righteousness, which is by faith (Romans 4:5-6).
The word “impute” means “to pass to one’s account, to count over” It means that Jesus places His righteousness upon our record when we trust upon Him for salvation.
Romans chapter four speaks concerning Abraham, “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was COUNTED UNTO HIM for righteousness” (Romans 4:3).What a beautiful truth!Abraham was not saved by good works; but rather, he believed God and was saved by Christ’s righteousness. Christ’s perfection was imputed (placed) on Abraham’s record in Heaven.God the Father viewed Abraham thereafter as having the righteousness of Christ. What a Saviour!
Proverb 11:30, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”
Please understand that living a consecrated life for God has absolutely NOTHING to do with being saved.You are saved because you come as a helpless, guilty, sinner and believe on Christ to forgive your sins and save you.
The Bible plainly teaches that Soul Winners will shine in eternity as the brightness of the stars.Our duty as Christians is to turn men unto the righteousness of Jesus Christ that they may be saved. 2nd Corinthians 5:21, “For He [God the Father] hath made Him [God the Son] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”
Luke 6:22-23, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.”
God, Jesus the Christ is precious, and He has promised to reward us, even for giving a cup of water in a disciple’s name (Matthew 10:42). Likewise, people will be judged for every word spoken on Judgment Day (Matthew 12:36).
1st Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Good and bad, God is recording everything in Heaven (2nd Corinthians 5:10).What happens in the world is recorded in Heaven! No good work will go unrewarded for the believer; nor any evil work unaccounted for (Romans 14:12).
Joy ALWAYS comes in the morning for the Christian, when the Lord will make everything right; but we must TRUST the Lord, Jesus Christ and cast our cares upon Him continually, being patient, preaching the Gospel and believing His Word.Jesus Christ commanded in John 5:39, “SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!”
Revelation 22:12, “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Laying up treasures in Heaven by our own labors has nothing to do with going to Heaven.We are saved by Jesus’ righteousness alone, and not by any self-righteousness on our part. Salvation is NOT a reward, it is the free gift of God.
As born-again believers God pleads with us to, “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
Luke 6:22-23, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

Luke 6:22-23, “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.”
God, Jesus the Christ is precious, and He has promised to reward us, even for giving a cup of water in a disciple’s name (Matthew 10:42). Likewise, people will be judged for every word spoken on Judgment Day (Matthew 12:36).
1st Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Good and bad, God is recording everything in Heaven (2nd Corinthians 5:10).What happens in the world is recorded in Heaven! No good work will go unrewarded for the believer; nor any evil work unaccounted for (Romans 14:12).
Joy ALWAYS comes in the morning for the Christian, when the Lord will make everything right; but we must TRUST the Lord, Jesus Christ and cast our cares upon Him continually, being patient, preaching the Gospel and believing His Word.Jesus Christ commanded in John 5:39, “SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!”
"...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." -Psalm 30:5
"Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." -Psalm 55:22
God, Jesus Christ says that he has "called" everyone whom He has predestinated.It is very important to notice 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.
I am often reminded of the words in the song, "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" which states, "Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bare, because we do not take it to the Lord in prayer.
"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."
The Bible declares that when God, Jesus Christ saves us, He shows forth His righteousness which means we become children of God-joint heirs in Christ Jesus.
When we are saved, we not only received something; we also become something-CHILDREN OF GOD, the Lord, Jesus Christ born of His Eternal Life.His idea and Words not ours.
Pray Always:Prayer is talking to God, Jesus Christ.It is our lifeline to Him.Prayer provides power.For those who trusted Jesus Christ as their God and Saviour:
We are all have different talents or gifts, so we serve differently but we are still a family- “body’.Just I prefer to mourn and fight injustice that does not make me insane and evil.Loving one another means born-again believers are one body in God, Jesus Christ.
"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

Life is filled with problems; some we create for ourselves, some others create for us, and others which are completely beyond our control.These are ALL "trials" which TEST our faith.I always count on my God and Saviour, Jesus Christ for everything.
God,Jesus Christ will humbled this world, whether you like it or not, then He will return.Prepare now.
“God always works in mysterious ways.”"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9).
God,Jesus Christ became the perfect sacrifice for our sins. By His great love, sacrifice and death-Salvation-we can have sweet fellowship with God-Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He is Alive-a living person full of love, mercy and truth.
