The Lord God has set
before you LIFE and DEATH - God says "CHOOSE LIFE"
- Deuteronomy 30:19
We all have choices in our life. It is up to us
to make sure that our choices are the right choices and line up with the word of
God. God telling us to Choose LIFE is found
in Deuteronomy 30:19.
Are you living for God or Satan? You have the choice.
Are you a friend of God? or a friend of the world?
Are you an enemy of God? or are you the enemy of the devil?
Whose side are you living on? You cannot have it
both ways.
God says that you cannot serve two masters,
we cannot straddle the fence, one foot in good and
one foot in evil.
The word of God reads that we
cannot walk with God on one day of the week and live with the devil the rest of
the week. God does NOT accept halfway commitments, partial faith in
Him is unbelief.
God says that if we are NOT serving Him, then we are serving satan.
God says we are either the servant of God or
the servant of the devil. God says
we cannot serve Him and serve the devil. God says if we
truly serve Him, that we cannot serve the devil.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of
devils:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table,
and of the table of devils.
1 Corinthians 10:21 |
God says everyone must make a choice. You
need to choose a side, and then abide, live on the side that you choose.
If you have been saved, you must realize
that
through salvation you become a child of God.
All the children of God are saved the exact same way,
by only one way, by the grace of God through faith in Jesus
Christ.
When you
are saved by the blood of Jesus, you no longer belong to this world,
the saved in Christ Jesus belong to God.
Our salvation separates us from the world.
Through salvation, believers of Christ Jesus are separated from this world,
forever.
As believers of Christ Jesus, we are OF God, not OF this world.
All
believers of Jesus belong to God. When we are saved, by the
grace of God through faith in Jesus, we become the children of
God.
God clearly states He is NOT of the world. God is not of
the world. God said the
world is His enemy.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 17:16 |
So if God is NOT of the world, and when we are saved, we become
the children of God, we as believers are NOT of the world, either.
When we are saved, we give our life to Christ,
the saved surrender all their life to God,
and we repent of our past
sins, we cast off the world and
put away a worldly life,
we put away a life of sin and unrighteousness, we live holy, godly,
and righteous life to our King Jesus.
When you are saved, you are separated from the world of sin,
because Christ is separate from the world.
Believers are separated from the world, through Christ
Jesus.
All believers
follow Christ, not the world. Jesus Christ is Lord!
When we become saved, we become a new creature, we are
permanently and continually separated from the
world by a renewing of our Spirit.
We become cleansed and purified
though the ultimate sacrifice by the blood of Jesus Christ.
God gives every person choices - life or death - blessing or
cursing - God says choose life !! Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live: Deuteronomy 30:19
And whosever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot
be my disciple. Luke 14:27 |
Which side are you living on? Are you living with
God or the devil?

God gives every person choices - life or death - blessing or
cursing - God says choose life !! Deuteronomy 30:19
We must all make a choice, because God loves us and wants us
to be with Him for all eternity.
We must all make a choice, because God gave us free will to
choice.
We must all make a choice, because this earthly life is
temporary, can end at any moment.
We must all make a choice, because God promises that all
people will die once, and after death His judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
We must all make a choice, because based on our choice
is where we will spend our eternity.
We must all make a choice, because the Master we choose in
this life, will be our Master for all eternity, when we die.
God has set before each of us life and death,
and we must make a choice (Deuteronomy 30:19), and God says "CHOOSE
LIFE"!
God gave us His written word for us to come to the knowledge
of truth and choose life through Him.
The written Word of God is the revelation of God Himself to
all mankind, so that we can know Him and love Him, so that we can receive
everlasting life, and so that we can live with Him for all eternity.
The will of God, the desire of God is for all
mankind to make the right choice, to choose Him, to choose life.
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 |
The choice is clear, "choose life"!
Many people may wonder why God gives us a choice,
why didn't God just make us love Him and make our choice for us?
The answer is because God loves us.
It is because God loves us, that He gave us a choice to love Him.
God is love (1 John 4:16). God does not force His
love upon anyone. We must choose His love and His way for our lives.
We must choose to love God.
Love cannot be forced. No one can force, make
another, love them. Love does not work that way, because love is freely
given, not forced.
Love that is forced is not love, it is slavery, it is bondage,
but not love. Love is freely given.
The love of God is expressed to us, by giving us a way out
of our sin, a way to escape His wrath and death, through faith in His
only begotten Son, which He gave to us out of His love, so that we might receive
eternal life and live with Him forever.
Herein is love, not that we loved God,
but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10 |
Mankind is not love, but God is love. We can be
part of God's love by accepting and receiving, by grace through faith, His
salvation.
We know part of what love is because of God and because
of His Christ, and one day soon, all of God's love will be revealed to us, when
we are ready to comprehend it, able to handle it, when we are transformed into
Glory and see Him face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12), and will be forever
with our LORD! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!!
But, before we enter Heaven, we are here on this earth,
and we must understand in part and be content, because we have
faith in God, because we trust in Christ Jesus, because we love
our Lord God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our
strength.
It is easy to understand why God gave us a choice,
after we understand love, His love, by accepting His salvation.
The love of God, understanding, knowledge, wisdom is
given to all God's children by grace through faith in His Son to
salvation.

Many people want to delay answering God about their choice
later. Many people are too busy now, or having too much fun now to think
about their eternal destiny.
Too many people think that they can make their decision later.
The problem of making your choice later is that NO
ONE is promised a tomorrow, a later.
If you die without the salvation of
God, then your eternal destiny is set and unchangeable, and you will be
separated from God for all eternity.
Know that our lives here, this existence here on this small
planet we call earth is only for a very short time, it is temporary, and
so temporary that God refers to it as "but a vapor", when compared
to all eternity (James 4:14).
No one is guaranteed a tomorrow, you must decide on your
eternity today.
Everyone must make a
decision who to serve.
Who is
your Master?
Remember the Master
you choose in this life, will be your Master in eternity.
We must all make a decision to serve God or
serve the world, self, and the devil.
God says no one can serve two masters.
No servant can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke 16:13 |
And a person divided against himself cannot stand.
And if a house be divided against itself, that house
cannot stand.
Mark 3:25 |
You cannot live divided between
serving
God and serving the world, it just will not work.
No one can have Jesus as
their Saviour and the devil as their Lord. Jesus must be your personal
Saviour and Lord. For the true believer, there can be only one Master,
Jesus Christ our Lord (Matthew 23:10; John 13:13).
Who is running your
life? Is Christ guiding your life, or is it sin? If you are
being led by sin, lusts of the flesh, selfishness, you do not have Jesus as the
Lord of your life. Salvation by faith is letting go of self and trusting
in Christ Jesus to lead you.
The above scriptures say, No one can serve two masters, because you will hate one and love the other, or else you will
hold onto one and despise the other.
How has your life turned out?
Is
your life, the way you are living now, is it working out for you?
Is your life working out?
Are you
happy? Are you satisfied? Are you fulfilled? Do you experience
joy, peace, love?
Are you who
you want to be? Are you experiencing peace?

We must choose to live
separate from the ungodly, evil world. We must purposefully separate
ourselves unto God. We must purposefully live by faith through Christ
Jesus.
Living righteously for God
takes effort, takes determination, takes dedication and takes commitment, but we
don't do it alone, we have the strength and the power of the Lord God Almighty
Himself to help us every step of the way to Heaven. Hallelujah! Praise
the Lord!!
The Scriptures read, "Be ye separate" (2
Corinthians 6:17-18), and God tells us to "be holy because He is Holy"
(Leviticus 11:44-45; 1 Peter 1:16), "we are to live soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this present world" (Titus 2:12), no matter what the
circumstances.
As believers, yes we live IN the world, but we
are NOT OF the world. We are not OF the world that we are
IN, there is a difference. We don't belong to this world, this is
not our home, our home our destination is Heaven to be forever with our Lord
God.
As believers of Christ Jesus, we are OF God, we are the
children of God, we are no longer a child of this world.
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.
John 15:19 |
God calls everyone to Him, to be a part of Him, to be separate
from this world of sin and evil.
We must choose to answer "Yes, I will come" to the call from God, we must choose to
be separated to God, and separated from sin and evil of this world.
Jesus chose us to be separate from this world. When we
accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour, to forgive us of all our sins and
gift us eternal life, we
repent of sin and pledge to obey and follow Christ, Jesus takes us out of the
world and places us in His Kingdom. Jesus saves us from sin and death,
gives us salvation.
Believers of Jesus are NOT of the world, because Christ is NOT
of the world.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:14,16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:16-17 |
If you want to hold onto
the lusts of the flesh and the sin of the world, if you want to live as the
wicked world does in sin, you can, it is your choice,
but you cannot hold onto sin and this world and
become a child of God.
God says in His word, that
no one can be a child of God and a child of the devil. All
people are either one or the other, never both.
God says that we are either
with Him, or against Him (Matthew 12:30; Luke 11:23). Christ says that
no one can remain neutral between good and evil, you must choose a side.
We must stand with Christ Jesus against the powers of darkness, satan, and the
evil in this world. If we compromise with sin we have chosen the wrong
side.
No one
can hold onto unrighteousness, live in sin, which is serving sin, and be a
child of God.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend
of the world is the enemy of God.
James 4:4 |
If you are a friend of
sin, a friend of satan by pursuing sin, you are of this world and the enemy
of God. Sin has and will always be attached to satan.
If you attach yourself to sin, you are attaching yourself to the devil.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works
of the devil.
1 John 3:8 |
To be a child of God,
we
must surrender all, throw out all the junk in your life, get rid of all sin in our life, hold nothing back from God.
Submit to God and resist the devil.
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse
your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:8
Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the
kingdom of God?
Be not deceived:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 |
It is a popular belief
in the world today that all people will enter heaven when they die, no
matter how they live their lives, even if they live unrighteously all
their lives, but this is NOT what God says.
There is NOT one scripture
in the word of God that says the unrighteous, any person who lives willfully in
sin, the unbelieving will inherit the kingdom of God.
Scripture after scripture,
the word of God tells everyone that anyone who is unrighteous and
unbelieving will NOT
inherit His kingdom.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED by anyone's lie, don't listen to satan when
he says that you can live day in and day out in sin and it is okay, for
any reason, because it is a lie that you have nothing to worry about,
DON'T
LISTEN TO THE DEVIL - LISTEN TO GOD.
From the beginning of this world, God says "the wages of sin is death", and it doesn't matter who
you say you are, or what name you call yourself, God says - if you live
unrighteous,
live for sin, if you do not have saving
faith in God, you will perish in hell.
No one
is exempt from the word of God, no one who is unrighteous is exempt from the wrath of God.
God tells us in His Holy Word, that "for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap".
Everyone will reap what they sow,
unrighteousness will reap death in hell, and living
righteousness will reap everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:7-8 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 |
No one can be attached to sin, attached to the devil, all
their life and be granted into God's Kingdom. No one can live one
way and expect to receive the reward of another, it doesn't work that way.
God says corruption will inherit corruption.
The reward of eternal life is only for people who choose to
serve the Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:24).
The reward of the unrighteous, those who lived their whole
life sinning, unrepentant, disobedient to God, forsaking the right way,
self-willed, refusing to turn from their wickedness, serving the devil, is death.
Do NOT be deceived, the reward of sin is death, eternal separation from God.
But you might say, I call myself a Christian and can't
go to hell?
Don't believe for a moment that by calling yourself a Christian,
you will gain
entrance into the Kingdom of God, because it won't.
God is not mocked. You cannot deceive God. God
sees inside you, inside your heart, what's on the inside matters to God, God
sees your soul. Salvation is an internal condition, not a title, not a
label, and not a name.
People cannot fool God with their outward righteousness.
God says anyway that our feeble attempt at righteousness is nothing to Him but
filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6).
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew 23:28 |
God sees straight through hypocrisy and self-righteousness.
God sees iniquity and hypocrisy (Mark 12:15). Hypocrisy is acting as if
you are what you are not; acting like a Christian, saying you are a believer of
Christ Jesus, saying Jesus is your Saviour and Lord, but in your heart you are
far from God (Mark 7:6).
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their
lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Matthew 15:7-9 |
God is not mocked. Calling yourself a Christian
doesn't necessarily mean that you are, professing is not possessing Christ as
Saviour and Lord.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny
him,
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus 1:16 |
God says that no one can call
themselves saved, or a Christian, and live in unrighteousness and
sin all their life and then receive eternal life.
God says only true believers of Christ Jesus, those who
abide in Him, remain attached to Christ, obey God, DO the will of God
by holding onto their faith in God, will abide forever.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 3:9-10 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4 |
Because we are born of God, we receive the power of God
through salvation, by the grace of God through faith in God, and we overcome the
lusts and sins of this wicked world.
We have victory over sin and death through our faith in God.
The word of God reads that if you love God, you will obey His
commandments, obey His word, follow His truth.
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:37 |
And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.
Luke 4:8 Thou believest that there is one God;
thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19 |
Who by him do believe in God,
that
raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope
might be in God.
1 Peter 1:21 |
And we have known and believed the love
that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.
1 John 4:4 |
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 17:14 |
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:16 |
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 |
Love not the world - This scripture doesn't mean we are not to take care of the
planet earth. This scripture means we are not to love the ungodly,
wicked, evil things
that are in the world.
We are not to worship the things of this world.
We are not to be consumed with the cares of this world (Mark 4:19).
The word
of God is very clear that we are to take care of the earth, keeping it clean and
growing. Taking care of the plants and animals, the ground, the forests,
the air and the waters.
God doesn't want us to be involved with the evil of this
world, or to lust after the things of the world.
Believers of God are not to sin. God does not want
anyone to sin. Sin does not please God.
Awake to righteousness, and sin not;
for some have not the knowledge of God:
I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:34 |
As believers, our kingdom is with God,
not here on this temporary earth. The word of God reads that everything on
this earth, and the planet itself will be destroyed one day by Him.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away. Matthew 24:35 |
Our home is in Heaven, our eternal life is in Heaven, not here
on this earth.
We should never be too attached to things. God
said that we brought nothing into this world, and we will carry nothing out.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain
we can carry nothing out.
1 Timothy 6:7 |
The children of God have no treasures here, our treasures
are in Heaven with God, to be given all to us when we see Him face to face
(Matthew 6:19-21).
Ye adulterers and
adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:4 Because the carnal mind is enmity
against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:7 |
You know you serve the world, if you put anything in the
world above God.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy
of me:
and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37 |
Ye adulterers and
adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God.
James 4:4
Because the carnal mind is enmity
against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:7 |
(The world here is the corrupt world system, not the earth.
God created the earth, the plants, the trees, the animals are all loved and
cherished by God.)
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 |
(Again, the world here is the corrupt world system, the broken
values, all who have forsaken God and love the material things of this world.)
He was in the world,
and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 1:10 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee:
but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent me. John 17:25
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon
us,
that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it new him not. 1 John 3:1 |
The world is selfish and seeking and cares about itself
whatever the cost to others.
The wicked world is blind to God, cannot know God until they accept
the truth of God, with is saving faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:17 |
Believers know God and God dwells in the hearts of
believers.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it
hated you.
John 15:18 |
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.
John 15:19 I have given them thy word;
and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
John 17:14
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
1 John 3:13 |
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:16 |
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
1 Peter 5:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;
for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:8
In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 3:10 |
The devil's future.
And the devil that deceived them was
cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall
be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:10 |

Jesus Christ is the Son of God,
and this Jesus is the way to salvation, eternal life in the Kingdom
of God.
Jesus is the way. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the
life.
Jesus saith unto him,
I am the
way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 And we believe and are sure that
thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
John 6:69
Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the
life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 11:25
But these are written,
that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life
though his name.
John 20:31
And this is his commandment,
That we should believe
on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.
1 John 3:23
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
and every
one that loveth him that begat
loveth him also that is begotten of him. 1 John 5:1
Who is he that overcometh the world,
but he that believeth that Jesus is
the Son of God?
1 John 5:5 |

Those who deny Jesus Christ, who do not believe that Christ
lived, died, and rose into life everlasting, will be denied by God the Father.
We are all saved the exact same way, by the grace of God
through faith in God. Belief, faith in God is believing in all that God
says He is in His Holy Word.
But whosoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 But he that denieth me before men
shall be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 12:9
They profess that they know God;
but in works they deny
him,
being abominable, and disobedient,
and unto ever good work reprobate. Titus 1:16
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2 Timothy 2:12 |
The word of God reads that without Christ you do
not have the covenants of promise, you have no hope of eternal life, because
you are without God.
That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world: Ephesians 2:12 |
An antichrist is anyone who denies Jesus Christ,
who denies that Jesus Christ
did came in the flesh and is the Son of God, all people who denies
Christ Jesus are not of God.
And every spirit that confesseth not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:3 For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh,
This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2 John 1:7
Who is a liar but he that denieth
that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23 |
There are many antichrists in the world today.
Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:18 |
Are you an antichrist? God says that there are
many antichrist in the world today.
Satan, the devil, and ALL his followers are
antichrists, because they are anti-Christ, against
Christ. The devil choose to stand against God and all that God stands
for. The devil and ALL his followers are enemies of God, they stand
against God and all that is of God. The devil is against Christ and
against all followers of Christ Jesus.
Remember, God says you are either for Him or against Him
(Matthew 12:30; Luke 11:23).
We are either standing with Jesus, or we are standing with the
devil. We are either on God's side, or the devil's. We are either an
enemy of satan, or an enemy of God.
There is one particular antichrist, called the beast, that
will be revealed in the last days, who will try and take over the whole world
with his power (Revelation 13:14-18); but this antichrist/beast, along with the
devil and all his followers will be defeated by Jesus Christ Himself, and cast
into the lake of fire, to remain forever (Revelation 20:10,14,15).
The word of God reads that enemies of the cross of Christ mind
earthly things, their god is their self and will have an end of destruction.
(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:
Whose end is destruction,
whose God is their belly,
and whose glory is in their shame,
who mind earthly things.) Philippians 3:18-19 |
Believers are those who have been saved by the blood of
Jesus, who believe with all their heart that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God, who died for their sins and all the sins of all
the people of the world. Believers have faith in God to salvation.
Believers are those who:
- Believe Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world
- Believe Jesus rose from the grave (complete body, soul,
spirit, and mind) and is alive today and
sits on the right hand side of God, waiting to return to earth for His own.
- Accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God, as their personal
Lord and Saviour, and received the free gift of salvation through faith
- Repented - turned from all sins (Repentance is required by
God).
- Follow Christ in His ways of righteousness
- Believe through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus,
that
we have been cleansed of all our sins, and will inherit the kingdom of God,
because we are the children of God through faith alone by grace.
- Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and God the Father and Jesus
are one.
- Believe that Jesus will return one day and take all
believers, dead and alive, home with Him to the kingdom of God
- Believe and obey the word of God
- Believe in eternal life and salvation to those who obey God
through faith in God
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine
heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God. Acts 8:37
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
John 3:15
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have
everlasting life.
John 3:16
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
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
John 3:36
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my
word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life,
and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:24
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:
he
that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall
never thirst.
John 6:35 |
Believers of Christ will be raised up to
the kingdom of God at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every
one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:40
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on
me hath everlasting life.
John 6:47
To him give all the prophets witness,
that through
his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts 10:43
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ
we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 15:11
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and
thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
|
God raised Jesus from the dead, to eternal
life in the Kingdom of God.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the
dead,
thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
because we trust in the living God,
who is the Saviour of all men,
specially
of those that believe. 1 Timothy 4:10
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness
in himself:
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he
believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 1 John 5:10
|
The word of God reads that unbelievers
are those who do not believe Jesus Christ is
the Son of God (John 3:16-18), sent from Heaven to earth to save the
world from sin (John 3:13; 6:33, 51; 8:23; ), do not have faith in Christ
Jesus to the saving of their souls (Hebrews 10:39), and that they are condemned and will not
see life everlasting in the kingdom of God.
Unbelievers do not have faith in Christ Jesus to salvation.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16
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
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God
abideth on him. John 3:36
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your
sins:
for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:24
That they all might be damned who believed not the
truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:12
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness
in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he
believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1 John 5:10
|
Knowing who God is, is NOT salvation. The
devil and all his demons know who God is. The devil and all his evil
spirits know who Jesus is, but they refuse to make Him their Saviour
and Lord. They choose to follow their own way to death, instead of
following the way of God to life.
You could have the whole Holy Bible memorized and still NOT be
saved, the devil does. The devil has every word ever said by God
memorized, not chapter and verse, but date and day God said it, because he was
there. The devil has every word, every creation, and every miracle of God
sketched into his memory.
The devil knows each follower of Christ, every believer of God
by name. The devil knows our weaknesses and how to trick and lie, deceive
us into sinning against God. The devil knows us better than we know
ourselves, but he doesn't have greater power over us, because greater is God who
is in us, than satan who is in this world (1 Corinthians 14:5).
Believing that there is one God is NOT the same as
believing in one God to the save your soul. Even the devil
believes that there is one God (James 2:19), but the devil forsake believing
in one God for the saving of his soul, a long time ago. Satan
rebelled against God and forfeited his inheritance in the Kingdom of God a long
time ago.
Faith goes beyond knowing the facts about God, faith is
trusting in God for the saving of your soul, believing that only through faith
in Christ Jesus can you receive eternal life, inheritance into the Kingdom of
God for eternity.
We are appointed by God, to become the children of God, to
obtain salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ.
It is God's will that we obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The will of God is for every person to receive eternal life
through His Son.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with
him. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 |
Through saving faith in Jesus, by obtaining salvation, we are appointed the
Kingdom of Heaven, by the grace of Jesus, through faith in Jesus Christ as our
Lord God and Saviour.
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath
appointed unto me; Luke 22:29 |
As the children of God through salvation, we are appointed
teachers, preachers, apostles, disciples, to share the truth of Christ Jesus to
the lost of this world.
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
teacher of the Gentiles. 2 Timothy 1:11 |
God loves and cares for each of His creation.
From the moment we are born, the instant that God breathes
life into our tiny bodies (Genesis 2:7), God calls every human being to Him. God gently
pulls each of us to Him.
God yearns to have us near to Him. God pleads with us to
follow Him. God calls us throughout our lives, calling after us.
If we do NOT choose to answer God's call in our lives, if we
do NOT obtain salvation, then we become disappointed.
Disappointment in our live comes from NOT answering God's
call, God's appointed call to all of us, to obtain salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with
him.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 |
God has appointed us to obtain salvation, through Lord Jesus
Christ, that whether we are alive or dead, that we should live together with
Him.
Disappointment is NOT from God. Disappointment is the
life people make for themselves, when they choose NOT to answer God's call of
salvation.
Only through Christ can we satisfy our souls (Isaiah 58:11).
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:37
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment. Mark 12:30
And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind;
and thy neighbour as thyself.
Luke 10:27
|
If God were your Father, you would love Jesus.
Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father,
ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God;
neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John 8:42
|
God the Father loves those who love His Son, Jesus.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:21
|
If you love God, you will keep His commandments and obey
the word of God.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him. John 14:23
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you:
continue ye in my love. John 15:9
For the Father himself loveth you,
because ye have loved me,
and have believed that I come out from God.
John 16:27
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1 Corinthians 8:3
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
Psalm 119:140
|
If you don't obey the word of God, you do not love God.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:
and the
word which ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me. John 14:24
|
Eternal life is given through faith in Christ
Jesus to all people who love Him, who have faith in Him to the saving of
their eternal souls. Without faith in Christ Jesus, without loving God
with all our heart, and all our soul, we cannot know Him or be with Him for
eternity.
Did you know that a friend of the world is the enemy of God?
We are to love the earth as a planet, as one of God's creations, and take care
of it. But we are NOT to be a friend of the hatred, the corruption, the
sin, and the lust of this world.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be
a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James 4:4
|
DO NOT be deceived, if you are condoning, living as,
blending in with, this adulterous, lying, lustful, ungodly, unholy, corrupt,
sinful, and unrighteous world, then you are the enemy of God.
If ye keep my
commandments, ye shall abide in my
love; even as I have kept my
Father's commandments, and abide in
his love. John 15:10
|
If we love God we desire the things of God, we want to be near
Him and please Him. The children of God abide in His love.
What is the difference between love and lust? Love
gives and lust takes. Love is Christ centered, lust is "I",
self-centered.
Living in lust is being "I" centered. "it
is all about
me", "it is all about what I want", "What I deserve", "What people owe me".
Living in lust, living an "I" centered life, will never
satisfy. A lust centered life can never and will never be satisfied.
Lust is never satisfied. Lust creates a void that can
never be filled. You can pursue lust your whole life, but you will never
achieve satisfaction.
The more lust achieved in a person's life, the wider and
deeper the void grows. Lust creates a void of emptiness and
unfulfillment and loneness and despair. Lust can never be satisfied.
The more lust a person lives the more they want. Feeding lust only creates
the desire for more lust.
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have,
and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your
lusts.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is
enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy
of God. James 4:2-4
|
Only Christ satisfies and completes, only Christ can fill the
void in our soul.
Lust is not of Father God.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the
world.
1 John 2:16
|
The devil is the father of sin and lust.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
|
We are not to obey the devil, we are to obey God. When
we obey the lusts of the flesh, who are we obeying?
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the
flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1 Peter 4:2
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,
that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Romans 6:12
|
How do we expel, purge lust from our lives?
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision
for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:14
|
How do we put on Christ? Walk in the
Spirit of God.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
|
What are lusts? The lusts of the flesh is sin.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell
you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
|
Lust only leads to one place - death, separation from
God for eternity, lust leads to sin and sin leads only to eternal death.
But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:14-15
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
|
Sin always has consequences.
From the beginning of the word of God, we know that the wages
of sin is death.
They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, the
sin and lusts of the flesh. Believers live in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit of Christ
Jesus and do not walk in lusts of the flesh.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:24-25
|
As the children of God, we are saved by grace through faith in
God, saved from sin
and death and saved from walking in the lusts of the flesh.
Lust and all who live in lust will be destroyed by God one
day.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:17
|
Those who have turned away from the lust of this world, the
lusts of the flesh, those who do the will of God, who have faith in God, will live and abide forever in
the Kingdom of God.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED - ALL people living in lust and serving
the devil will NOT see God, will NOT spend eternity with God in His
Kingdom.
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last
time,
who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Jude 1:18-19
|
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is
the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
And we have know and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love;
and
he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:15-16
|
All people who do not love everyone, do not know God, because God is
love.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:8
And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-8
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that
are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure;
but even their mind and
conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him,
being
abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:15-16
|
When I was a child, I spake as a child,
I understood as a child, I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro,
and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which
is the head, even Christ: Ephesians 4:14-15
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile,
and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:
1 Peter 2:1-2
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked,
fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:17-18
|
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need
that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles
of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of
righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them
that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:12-14
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Ever learning,
and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy
3:1-5, 7
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their
own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having
men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye
the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who
should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate
themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Jude 1:16-19 |
And this is his commandment,
That we should believe
on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.
1 John 3:23
And this commandment have we from him,
That he who
loveth God love his brother also.
1 John 4:21
|
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he
hath not seen? 1 John 4:20
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 3:15
|
For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:6
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14
|
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:16
For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:6-7
For ye are yet carnal:
for whereas there is among you envying, and strife,
and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1 Corinthians 3:3
But the natural man receiveth
not the things of the
Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14
That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:63
For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through
the flesh,
God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:3-8
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body,
ye shall live.
Romans 8:13
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap
corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:8
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness,
and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled,
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter 2:9-10
|
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me
nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not
behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies,
they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether
there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. And
now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these
is charity.
1 Corinthians 13:3-8,13 |

God is love and does not accept hatred from anyone
- toward
anyone.
When the scriptures say 'brother' this does not mean just your
sibling 'brother', it means anyone and everyone.
God says, that if we hate anyone, that we do
NOT know God.
He that loveth not
knoweth not God;
for God is love.
1 John 4:8
|
God says if we hate anyone, we do
NOT love God.
If any man say, I love God, and hateth his
brother, he is a liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:20
|
If we hate Jesus, we hate God the Father also.
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
John 15:23
|
Haters of God will not see the kingdom of Heaven
Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 1:29-32
|
The word of God reads that if you hate anyone, that you are a murderer and
will not receive eternal life.
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 3:15
|
If you hate anyone, you are lost in darkness
He that saith he is in the light,
and hateth his brother,
is in darkness even until now.
1 John 2:9
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness,
and walketh in darkness,
and knoweth not whither he goeth,
because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:11
|
If you hate, you shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
|
If you are doing any one of the things said in
the above scriptures, God says you will not inherit the kingdom of
God, you will not go to Heaven, you will
not inherit eternal life, you shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But there is hope for you, through redemption through
Christ Jesus. If you repent of whatever sin
you are committing, repent with all your heart and do not commit that sin
anymore, and trust in Jesus and ask Christ into your heart, to be the Saviour of
your life, you too can receive the gift of God, which is eternal life.

we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope,

Who doesn't fear God? Those
gone away from the way of Christ.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the
poison of asps is under their lips:
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
And the way of peace have they not known:
There is no fear of God before their eyes. Romans 3:12-18

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father. Romans 8:15

This scripture is speaking about believers being released from
the spirit of bondage which is fear. Believers have received the Spirit of
adoption, believers are the children of God. Through Christ Jesus we have

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,

Only by the grace of God, we are saved through faith in God.

with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Pride defiles everyone.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark 7:21-23
|
Just look at what is grouped with pride - murders, blasphemy,
adulteries, - God takes pride very serious, and so should we.
God says it is not okay to be full of pride.
Why doesn't God like prideful people? Because
the wicked through pride do not seek after God. Through pride we become
self-centered, and not God centered.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will
not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. Psalm 10:4

Pride is like a chain.
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence

We are to forgive all and forgive anything.
To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I
forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the
person of Christ; 2 Corinthians 2:10

Why are we to forgive everyone for everything?
Because God forgave us.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32

Blessed are those who sins are forgiven.
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ,
hath not God.
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ,
he hath both the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:9
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went
into Macedonia,
that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other
doctrine,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,
which minister questions,
rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1 Timothy 1:3-4
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,
thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words
of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 1 Timothy 4:6

this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Timothy 4:15-16

If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add
unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men. Matthew 15:9
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
commandments and doctrines of men? Colossians 2:22
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid
them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly;
and
by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Romans 16:17-18

Doctrine of devils
In the last days there will be many that depart from the truth
and follow doctrines of devils.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4:1
For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto
fables.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome
words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is
according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 1 Timothy 6:3-5

Don't add to or take away any part of

prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add
unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he
believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 1 John 5:10
And they will deceive every one his neighbour,
and
will not speak the truth:
they have taught their tongue to speak lies,
and
weary themselves to commit iniquity. Jeremiah 9:5

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6

boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

God is Light
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do
not the truth:
But 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. 1 John 1:5-7
|
Jesus is the Light of the world and as believer of
Christ we are children of the Light. As believers we are to shine
our
light to the world, we are to be a light to the lost of the world and guide
them home to God.
Jesus is the Light of the world, salvation to the
world.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light
of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life. John 8:12
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1:79
|
Believers of Christ are a light to the world, children of the
Light.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid.

good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:5
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?
If
any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this
world. John 11:9
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of
God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6
|
The unsaved, the lost, the unbelievers of Christ are in
darkness. All people who do not have faith in God are in darkness.
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.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men
loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds should be reproved. John 3:18-20
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there
is no light in him. John 11:10
This then is the message which we have heard of him,
and
declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do
not the truth:
1 John 1:5-6
|
If God is light, the devil is darkness and lost people walk in
darkness.
People who hate are in darkness.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother,
is in darkness even until now.
1 John 2:9
|
Darkness is satan; God is light.

light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness
of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Acts 26:18 |
Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks:

Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3:17

lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13
|
The language of God is love.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us.
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of
his Spirit. 1 John 4:11-13
|
If we keep God's love and His word in our hearts, we can be
sure what comes out of our mouth is of God.
But I say unto you, Swear not at all;
neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool:
neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Neither shalt thou swear by they head,
because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea;
Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matthew 5:34-37

The way of peace is Jesus.
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1:79
|
The only peace is in Heaven. Being a child of God, we can
have peace in our hearts, knowing that we will inherit the kingdom of God.
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of
the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. Luke 19:38
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17

not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
with all men. Romans 12:18

peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another. Romans 14:19

by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:5

again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
John 16:22

righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 1 Peter 4:14

delight my soul. Psalm 94:19
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to
you. John 14:18

written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:3
Who comforted us in all our tribulation, what we may be
able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:4
|
So are the paths of all that forget God; and the
hypocrite's hope shall perish: Job 8:13
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall
not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. Job 11:20
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and
the hope of unjust men perisheth. Proverbs 11:7
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate
thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. Isaiah 38:18

have eternal life and eternal hope.
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world: Ephesians 2:12
|
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine
and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42
But 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. 1 John 1:7
And so were the churches established in the faith,
and increased in number daily. Acts 16:5
For where two or three are gathered together in my
name,
there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20

and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,
and over his image, and over his mark,
and over the number of his name,
stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Revelation 15:2

incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory. 1 Corinthians 15:54
|
Satan and death will be defeated by God. Only God
holds victory.

away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 25:8

and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

in heaven,
the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:50

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.

that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day. John 6:39

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
Who gave himself for our sins,
that he might deliver us from this present evil world,
according to the will of God and our Father:
Galatians 1:4
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers;
but as the servants of Christ,
doing the will of God from the heart; Ephesians 6:6
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus,
that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God,
so ye would abound more and more.
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
For this is the will of God,
even your sanctification,
that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know
how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence,
even as the Gentiles which know not God:
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter:
because that the Lord is the avenger of all such,
as we also have forewarned you and testified.
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God,
who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
|
What is the will of God? The will of
God is to obtain salvation, through Jesus Christ. Having faith in God
is doing the will of God. By accepting God's gift of
salvation, you are doing God's will. By following Christ and living a
spirit led life, you are doing the will of God.
The will of God does not stop in our lives after salvation, the will of God never ends, it continues throughout our life.
We must continually seek the will of God, continue in our
faith in God.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
|
For more see -
Will of God
If you are not living in faith in God, you are living to
yourself. If you are not walking with God and seeking and doing God's
will, then you are walking in the will of the world, self-will, satan's will and the
tradition of men.
Self-will
The word of God reads that the backslider is living in self-will.
The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own
ways:
and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. Proverbs 14:14
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and
he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:12

deceit,

righteousness:

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.

blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation:
for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:12
Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:3
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the
sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Revelation 22:7
Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14
|
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. John 7:49
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8
Having eyes full of adultery, and that
cannot cease from
sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of
Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 2 Peter 2:14-15
|
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things. Philippians 4:8
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the
midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Hebrews 2:12
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to
God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than
of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:7
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your
reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matthew 5:12
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits
are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written
in heaven.
Luke 10:20
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.

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Philippians 3:3

if we hold fast the confidence and
the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see
him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1 Peter 1:8
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of
Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also
with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:13
|
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: Philippians 2:14
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were
destroyed of the destroyer. 1 Corinthians 10:10
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own
lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in
admiration because of advantage. Jude 1:16
|
Believers of Christ are not to sin.
We are to remain sinless, blameless, spotless until the return of Christ.
When we are saved, born-again, sin no longer has dominion over our bodies and
lives.
Christ Jesus is our Lord and Saviour and has authority over us.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto
sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it
in the lusts thereof. Romans 6:11-12
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not
under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have
not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:34
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not
unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is
begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

not a man. Matthew 15:17-20

defileth the man.

gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41-42
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and
sever the wicked from among the just,
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:49-50
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
and that obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction
from the presence of the
Lord, and from the glory of his power; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark
of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast
alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 19:20
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the
second death. Revelation 20:14
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the
lake of fire. Revelation 20:15
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death. Revelation 21:8
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented
day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20:10
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
For if God spared not the angels that sinned,
but cast them down to hell,
and delivered them into chains of darkness,
to be reserved unto judgment;
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve
the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness,
and
despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled,
they are not
afraid to speak evil of dignities. 2 Peter 2:4, 9-10

Those who do not accept Jesus and love the world and their
carnal life here on earth will lose everything in the end.
He that loveth his life shall lose it;
and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 12:25
For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we carry nothing out. 1 Timothy 6:7
For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's,
the same shall save it. Mark 8:35

If you have read the Bible, you know how it ends, GOD
WINS!!
AND ALL the children of God
WIN, too!!
That's right, we
as believers of Christ, we win! Praise the LORD!!
All believers of Christ win in the end! And
there will be an end someday soon.
God is the winning side. Believers of Jesus Christ,
all of us, are on the winning team and have our share in victory!
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss
for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,
and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect:
but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also
I am
apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:8-14

Do you need salvation or do you need to rededicate your life
to GOD? Following are prayers to help you get started. Pray from
your heart to GOD and He promises that He will answer your prayer and give

Prayer of salvation to
live for GOD:
Dear Heavenly
Father GOD, Thank you for showing
me how I have not been living my life for you. Jesus, I
believe in you and believe you came down from Heaven, stepped out of
Glory to come to this earth to set me free from sin and death.
I believe you died on your cross for my sins and rose to new life.
Jesus, I want that new life. Jesus, I pray that you will come
into my life, make me a new creature. I repent of my sins and
ask you to renew my heart, my mind, my soul, my spirit, I want you
to save me. Thank you Jesus, I believe that because I repented
of my sin and believe on you with all my heart that I am now saved.
Help me and guide me to learn more about you and my salvation.
Guide the right people into my life that will help me know more
about you. Help me find a God based, Bible based church that I
can learn more about the things of GOD. Help me find my
purpose in your will for your Kingdom. Thank you Jesus, Thank
you God, I love you with all my heart. In the name of
Jesus I
pray. Amen. |
Prayer of rededication to
live for GOD:
Dear Heavenly
Father GOD, Thank you for showing
me how I have not been living my life for you. I want to
rededicate my life to you. I repent of my sins and repent of
my attitude of rebellion against you. I want to serve you with
all my heart. I want to fulfill my purpose in Your Kingdom.
Forgive me of my sins, wash me clean, renew my heart, my spirit, my
mind. Place people in my life that will help me and guide me
to serve you. I thank you GOD for giving me your gift of
salvation. I love you Jesus, thank you for making a way for me
out of sin and death. I love you Lord. Thank you and
help me be the person you created me to be. I ask all these
things in the name of Jesus. Amen. |
God calls salvation "the fight of faith"
as is it a struggle in this world to stay focused on Jesus. We have so
many distractions in the world today. The best way to stay focused on
God is to remain in prayer and remain in God's word.
If you are new to reading the Bible, may I
suggest the books of John and James. The book John tells you about
Jesus and the book of James gives you practical life application.
If you have made a decision,
please email us and let us know. We would like to know so that we
can pray for you. (Your information is kept completely private and will never
be sold or shared.)
Have a blessed day in the LORD
