Greetings Brothers and Sisters, Grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. I thank God for this opportunity to share with you concerning our permanent State of eternal security. Lord lead me and guide as I share your word with your people in which I am one, thank you Lord in Jesus Name Amen.

When Jesus, therefore, received the vinegar, He said, it is finished: and He bowed His head and gave up the ghost (John 19:30). When Jesus died on the cross He paid for all past sins, He paid for all sins that were being committed while He was being curcified, and He paid for all future sins, even for those of ours who had not even been born and even those who are still to be born. Christ paid for all sins, all meaning 100% of of all there is.

The payment required for our redemption from the slave market of sin were paid in full there is no more left to be paid for. It was this one time perfect payment of our Lord Jesus Christ that provides for us eternal redemption. Eternal means forever. Once we have it it is forever. Neither by the blood of goats or calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the Holy place, having obtained redemption for us (Heb 9:12).

Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world, He is the only person qualified to make the payment necessary to redeem us. Jesus did this because He Love us. You can only receive the salvation provided by Jesus death  by believing that He died for your sin.  Meaning that He died in your place, the death He endured was rightfully yours. God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who ever believe in Him Shall not perish but shall have ever lasting life ( John 3:16). Once you believe in Jesus you will receive eternal life, Salvation is permanent because Jesus Paid for it in full, and you can receive it, all you have to do is believe and ask Jesus to forgive you. Once you believe in Jesus you never have to worry about your salvation again. If you are saved and you read this God Bless you, we serve a awesome God, hallelujah. If you are not and you don’t know what to do contact me blog me, tell me what you think. God bless you all. Amen.

Greetings friend, grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. God has allowed me to share His Word with you and for this I am grateful. He has allowed me to be instrumental in spreading His message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Father help me to stay on track, so that I do not violate your word with what I think, so that my communication will remain in harmony with the good news.  Thank you Lord God, it is in Jesus name I pray Amen.

Imagine this, you are at school in a class that you have always been afraid to take, but it is required and now you are in it. The teacher is asking questions of the students in order to get a feel of the challenge that is before them for the semester. You are one out of at least 30  students, and you are hoping that in all of the students the teacher won’t call you, you don’t want the teacher to call on you because you are not prepared. You know that you neglected to apply your self in the past and you are not academically where you should be. You were hoping to hide among the crowd and not be detected. You will do anything not to be called. Then everyone will know your embarrassing secret.  Among all the students you look the same, you dress nice, you speak intelligently, you act respectable so outwardly you are undetectable, you are hiding in plan sight, and Finally the teacher calls on you.

It is the same way in many of the Christian communities, especially in Churches with large congregations. The Christian community is attractive, people feel good when they are among us as long as they don’t have to do anything. They blend in with the congregation, they sing praises to God, they pray to God they give to the Church, they participate in many of the activities and they live commendable lives, but they have not believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said I Am the way and the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father unless through me (John 14:6). You can hide among Christians, give praises to God, you can give your money and be kind to your neighbors but it won’t do you any good , this is why.

One day Your time here in this world is going to come to a end, you know this. If you did not take God’s offer of eternal life you have already been condemned, because you did not believe in God’s only begotten Son,  who God gave to the world to sacrifice for the payment of sin to redeem us from bondage of sin and death. You must believe in Him while you are still alive, once you die it is to late. This is so tragic, God love you and He did all He can do to save you. He won’t force you, yes He has the power to force you, but God don’t want you to love him because He forced you. God not only created you and I, but He also worked for our love. God want you and I to make a conscience decision, a intelligent decision based on the knowledge that you have concerning Him and His Son Jesus Christ.

God has blessed every human being that has ever lived, only three of them were not under the condemnation of sin at the time of their blessing and one of them blessed the world by His birth. Don’t think that because God Bless you that you’re saved. Until you meet the requirements, you can not enter into the presence of God for Him to take up your petition, so you are wasting your time, your prayers are bouncing off the walls into obscurity. God is not  listening to you. There is only one way (John 14:6) the good news is that You can still do something about that, no one can do it for you. Believe in Jesus now and the work he has done. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, Amen. Believe in Jesus today, ask Him to forgive you for your sins. If this message helped you and you now have a better understanding contact me, blog the post. God bless you.

Thank you Lord Jesus, Amen

Greetings my friends, Grace, and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. I thank God Because He has allowed me to share His word with you. Lord lead me and guide me as I share your word concerning truth, in Jesus name Amen. The truth is in order to live your life in a manner which is pleasing to God, you must have a relationship with Christ which is one of reconciliation.

My friends in order to be the person that God wants you to be, you must come face to face with the truth. You must live your life according to the truth. Truth is based on facts. Every day you have to make decisions and your decisions are based on the information you have. If the information is erroneous, not factual,  you are not going to receive your desired results. The earth is 92,956,000 miles from the Son, this is a fact. If you throw something, depending on the weight and the force by which you throw it will determine where it lands, this is a fact. We must have oxygen to live, that’s a fact. If you put your hand in the fire it will get burned, this is a fact. You can be foolish and deny the truth but that does not change the fact that it is true.

From the time Adam disobeyed God and ate the fruit that God commanded Him not to eat, people have been running from and covering up the truth. Adam made the decision to eat the fruit base on information that was not true, actually, the information was a lie. This caused a paradigm shift, which has lasted to the present times. People now are born living according to the lie and has to choose to live according to the truth. The first man was created and lived according to the truth and chose to live according to the lie,  this is a fact. John wrote And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, we have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life, ( John 14:6a). God is the truth, Jesus is the personification of truth, Jesus is God. This is a fact. Although He has never sinned, He was declared to be guilty, and was crucified, and died on the cross for the sins of the world, that was created by Him. He rose from the dead, He ascended into heaven, and He is at the right hand of God, this is factual, this is the truth.

Everyone Christian and none Christian live from God’s blessing every day, this is a fact. From the time you wake up, that’s a blessing, The ability to go to sleep at night, that’s a blessing. The very life you have is a blessing, and there are many other blessings that Christians and non-Christians share. God blesses who He wants to bless. You don,t have to be a Christian to receive a blessing from God. However, there is one blessing you won’t receive (eternal life) unless you believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

you must believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sin and that He rose from the dead and He is alive right now, this is a fact, this is the truth. When you believe God, who is the truth and can not lie, and ask Him to forgive you based on these facts, you will receive everlasting life, Amen! Anything contrary to this is a lie. You must make a decision, these are the facts.

He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18).

Are you a gambler? Do you like to take chances? Listen, your lifei is not something to gamble with, your life is not something to play games with. Your life is precious. If this is not the value you place on your life, allow me to tell you, your life is precious so precious to God, He gave the life of His Son to pay the the ransom to redeem you from the slave market of sin and death. I assure you it might be a game to you but, you don’t want to play with God. You will surely lose. Many have tried and lost. My friends these are all the facts, if you have not excepted Jesus as your savior don’t put it off any longer. Thank you, God Bless you. Amen.

My Friends grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Friends God has gone through great lengths to let you know that He loves you.  God has done all that

can be done in order for you and me to be saved from the condemnation that has been brought

upon us by our sin. There is absolutely nothing we can do that will be acceptable to God for our

redemption from the horror to come. Deep inside our souls, we know that day is coming.  The good

news is that even, though we cannot redeem ourselves, and nothing we do is acceptable to God, He

provided us with a lamb whose heart is purer than gold, His fleece is whiter than snow. That Lamb is

His Son, who has never sinned, He laid down His life as a sacrifice for our sin, He did it for the sin of the

entire world. He was and is the only one who has the qualities needed to please God, and He did it

willingly, to save you and I and whosoever will believe.  We Owe our allegiance to the one that died for

us. I hope these short words help you to understand that you are literally endangering your life, by

refusing to take God upon His gift of eternal life. Think about it, What more could He have done?  The

choice is up to you, I hope you choose Jesus today.

God bless you.

1 Chronicles 29:10-13 (HCSB) ¹⁰  Then David praised the LORD in the sight of all the assembly. David said, May You be praised, LORD God of our father Israel, from eternity to eternity.
¹¹  Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.
¹²  Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything. Power and might are in Your hand, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.
¹³  Now, therefore, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name. In Jesus Name Amen. 

 

 

Greetings brothers and Sisters, and friends, grace and peace to you in the name of  God our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  I thank God for you and the opportunity to share with you this good and wonderful news. Lord thank you for this time you have given me to share concerning the good news you have allowed me to receive.  Lord Guide me and direct the words I use to help my friends have a better understanding of you and your goodness and your kindness and your love, In Jesus name Amen.

 ⁸For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph 2:8,9).

My friends, there is only one requirement that needs to be met for a person to be saved and receive eternal life. It is by faith and faith alone that anyone can be saved. It is really amazing that people that have been saved have somehow forgotten how they received such a gift. We like the Pharisees before us have begun adding to the requirements God has already set before us for salvation. It is the lack of faith that caused the human race to sin and fall from grace and receive the just penalty of death. Gen 2:16 -3:16-17.

In  Galatia, people who were not Christians were telling people who were newly born Christians and those who were seeking to become Christians,  that to be saved you had to have faith in Jesus plus do good works to be saved. This is the logic that was used in perverting the scriptures concerning salvation. You had to believe in the work that Jesus did but you also had to do good works these two requirements were in contradiction to each other. If you believe in the work of Jesus Christ nothing else can be added to that proclamation. Either you believe and based on your faith you are saved or you don’t believe and you are not saved.

If you are relying on your good works, you are depending on yourself for salvation. Your logic is that if you do enough good works, you will be able to secure salvation for yourself.  The logic you are applying to this approach is, If you were to do enough good works that will outway all the bad or evil things you have done, God will look at your good works and compare them to your  bad works and find that you have redeemed yourself by your works , and that this would obligate God to be just and give you eternal life. My friends God is not obligated to anyone. Nor is God dependent on anyone for anything. Everyone and everything is dependent upon God for its very existence. It is impossible for you to redeem your self. Although your life is demanded as payment for sin, once that payment is made, you can no longer be. No other person who is a descendant of  Adam is able to pay for you, because they need someone to pay for them.

 

The only person who is able to pay the penalty is the person that created us. Our creator’s life is more valuable than the life He created. His life being without sin is more than enough to pay for the lives of everyone who lives and has ever lived upon the face of the earth forever. He is the Son of God. It pleased the Father that in Him is the fullness of God (Col 1:19). He is the image of the invisible God, All things were created by Him in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, all things were created by Him, and for Him (Col 1:15,16). To State it explicitly, Jesus is God. His Father sent Him to die on the cross for our sin. He was able to die for us and pay the penalty for our sin and death was unable to hold him in the grave, with great power he rose from the dead. Death has no dominion over Him. The work that Jesus did, by being in perfect obedience to God and dying on the cross for our sins, is acceptable to God.  God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life. Faith in Jesus Christ and nothing more can save you. Thank You, Lord, Amen. My friends, I hope this message has brought you closer to Jesus. If you understand trust in Him today. Brothers and sisters tell all your friends.  God bless you.  If this message has helped you let me know, Blog. Like.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the world’s sin! He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Soon a man far greater than I am is coming, who existed long before me!’ I didn’t know he was the one, but I am here baptizing with water in order to point him out to the nation of Israel.” Then John told about seeing the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descending from heaven and resting upon Jesus. “I didn’t know he was the one,” John said again, “but at the time God sent me to baptize he told me, ‘When you see the Holy Spirit descending and resting upon someone—he is the one you are looking for. He is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ I saw it happen to this man, and I, therefore, testify that he is the Son of God.”

John the Baptist’s baptism with water was preparatory because it was for repentance and symbolized the washing away of sins. Jesus, by contrast, would baptize with the Holy Spirit. He would send the Holy Spirit upon all believers, empowering them to live and to teach the message of salvation. This outpouring of the Spirit came after Jesus had risen from the dead and ascended into heaven (see 20:22; Acts 2).

The Lamb of God

Every morning and evening, a lamb was sacrificed in the Temple for the sins of the people (Exodus 29:38-42). Isaiah 53:7 prophesied that the Messiah, God’s servant, would be led to the slaughter like a lamb. To pay the penalty for sin, a life had to be given—and God chose to provide the sacrifice himself. The sins of the world were removed when Jesus died as the perfect sacrifice. This is the way our sins are forgiven (1 Corinthians 5:7). The “world’s sin” means everyone’s sin, the sin of each individual. Jesus paid the price of your sin by his death. You can receive forgiveness by confessing your sin to him and asking for his forgiveness.

 

Jesus warns about preparing for his coming

Luke 12:41-48

Peter asked, “Lord, are you talking just to us or to everyone?”

And the Lord replied, “I’m talking to any faithful, sensible man whose master gives him the responsibility of feeding the other servants. If his master returns and finds that he has done a good job, there will be a reward—his master will put him in charge of all he owns.

“But if the man begins to think, ‘My Lord won’t be back for a long time,’ and begins to whip the men and women he is supposed to protect, and to spend his time at drinking parties and in drunkenness—well, his master will return without notice and remove him from his position of trust and assign him to the place of the unfaithful. He will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty he refused to do it.

“But anyone who is not aware that he is doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, for their responsibility is greater.

Watchful and faithful leaders will be given increased opportunities and responsibilities. The more resources, talents, and understanding we have, the more we are responsible to use them effectively. God will not hold us responsible for gifts he has not given us, but all of us have enough gifts and duties to keep us busy until Jesus comes.

Future Reward

Jesus promises a reward for those who have been faithful to the Master. While we sometimes experience immediate and material rewards for our obedience to God, this is not always the case. If it were so, we would be tempted to boast about our achievements and do good only for what we get. Jesus said that if we look for rewards now, we will lose them later (see Mark 8:36). Our heavenly rewards will be the most accurate reflection of what we have done on earth, and they will be far greater than we can imagine.
