Jesus paid it all on the Cross.
Now, what are you going to do with this information?
If you believe it to be a fact, what are the implications and ramifications for you?
……
Jesus said, “When you see all these signs, Look up! for your redemption draws near”.
The natural tendency is to look around at everything going on and not look up to where the real business is going on.
……
There is only one Father.
There is only one Lord Jesus Christ.
There is only one Holy Spirit.
The church universal is all the people who have this same, one and only, Holy Spirit in them.
It’s a people who share the same Spirit, and are in Christ.
And we need to understand it’s always been this way.
If you are truly born again, then the same Holy Spirit which descended onto the Son of God at His baptism, and the same Spirit which descended upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost, and who dwelt in the Apostles and Prophets and all who live godly in Christ Jesus ever since, dwells in you.
The same Spirit which inspired the scriptures.
The same Spirit which blooded over the waters when the earth was created.
The same Spirit which raised Jesus Christ from the dead.
He dwells in the true believing saint, who is looking for the Lord’s return.
What is He doing in your life today?
……
The people who truly love you, these are your treasure on the earth. Treasure them.
……
Thank God He doesn’t require us to earn our salvation, otherwise we would have no chance.
……
Are you what the Lord Jesus calls a “good and faithful servant”?
My guess is that the truly good and faithful servants won’t be self aware that they are good and faithful servants.
……
True Christianity is salvation: to be saved, justified and sanctified, and salvation is, both, a belief, and a spiritual experience or encounter. Our faith is real, and, as well, the power of the Holy Spirit in us is real. Therefore, our salvation is not merely a belief we have.
…..
Self-importance suggests a person doesn’t walk with Jesus Christ.
Because only He is truly important.
…..
A woman can’t say that the human being in her womb is “her body”.
Therefore, she has no right to murder him or her.
An unborn baby is obviously a human being.
People have been brainwashed into believing otherwise.
……
For the nominal or cultural Christian, their own ideas are more important to them than God’s word.
……
Without God, would your life mean anything?
Because, if God doesn’t exist, then, what does your existence amount to?
It would mean you are here by accident, not purpose, and in a few short years you will cease to exist, and everything about you will be gone and forgotten, forever, because all who knew and loved you would also have ceased to exist, and time goes on, and it’s as if you never existed.
Is this the future you believe in?
Do you believe this to be true, or do you believe in the existence of God?
…….
There has always been immorality, but in times past it had shame attached to it and it was socially unacceptable. Things gradually changed so that it became socially acceptable, the shame removed, and it didn’t stop there, it developed to the point where it’s more than merely accepted, but the preferred and enlightened way of life, even to the extent that those who are not immoral are excluded and no longer fit into society.
……
Wherever the Holy Spirit is, and in whomever He is dwelling, we can be sure He is building the Kingdom of Christ there.
……
A note on Covetousness:
To covet wealth is to compromise and distort the truth of the Fatherhood of God, and our sonship.
Why wasn’t Jesus covetous?
“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”” (Hebrews 13:5)
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”
(1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
……
When it comes to standing by faith, facts are more important than feelings. Our faith rests on the facts concerning who the Lord Jesus Christ is, not on how we feel at any given point in time.
…….
Man’s greatest enemy is himself.
And man’s greatest friend is Jesus Christ.
……
What Jesus understood about His Father, we should also understand, because we have the same Father.
What kind of father is He?
…….
Genuine faith in Jesus Christ is always in step with His word and Spirit.
……
“I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean (no unclean food) of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” (Rom. 14:14)
So, some people are convinced that certain foods are unclean, but Jesus does not consider those foods to be unclean.
Their conscience is bound to something which is not true.
This tells us the conscience is fallible.
“But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
You observe days and months and seasons and years.
I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.”
(Galatians 4:9-11)
……
It takes gradual, progressive and incremental social engineering to bring the masses to a point of blind faith in the government, and, ultimately, to an Orwellian state.
…..
No matter how evil something is, someone could write a speech which makes it sound quite okay.
……
In leaving its citizens behind, the US Government is showing the same callousness it shows toward the unborn who are murdered in the womb.
……
Wouldn’t we want our faith to be as real as the Lord is?
……
Jesus came on the scene and announced, to a stunned audience, that God was His Father.
And then He said that if we believe on God’s Son we can also call God, our Father.
When God made mankind in His image He was taking on the role of Fatherhood.
He was already the Father to the Son from eternity.
Now, He was Father to creatures which He made, but special creatures because they bear the image of God, so He could call them His children.
And, then, the Son even came down from Heaven and became a Man.
So, God the Son became one of us, yet still remaining God.
He could become one of us because we bear the image of God.
Now, we are not to think of ourselves as children of the Father merely because we are creations of God.
This is because our sin cut us off from God.
But Jesus, the Son, reconciled us to the Father by suffering, shedding His blood, dying and rising again.
So, now we who believe are true children of the Father by virtue of being in the Son.
We are now sons if we are in the Son.
……
The love of the Father is the love of a true Father.
……
Morality is not a dirty word.
Ask, ‘Hey! What does God have to say about that in His word?”
……
“By grace you are saved, through faith in Jesus Christ.”
This means, if you are saved it’s because Jesus Christ saved you.
Believing is sufficient because Jesus Christ is sufficient.
That is, if we truly believe He is sufficient to save us. For only then do we truly believe.
“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” (James 2:19)
James is addressing superficial belief.
James is not suggesting that demons have true faith.
Whereas when the Lord Jesus promised that those who believe in Him have eternal life, He obviously meant TRUE FAITH, and not superficial believism.
True faith always produces a holy life.
Truly believing, as in the sense that the Lord Jesus used the word “believe”, such as, “whoever believes on me has eternal life”… in this sense, believing precedes doing the will of the Father. A person has no chance to do the will of the Father unless they first believe.
Believing is the CAUSE.
Doing God’s will is the EFFECT.
Cause and effect.
Refer to Romans 4.
