Not every one that saith … Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven—Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord—Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things are in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give the diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.
By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
J AMES 2:26; M ATT. 7:21—HEB. 12:14—2 P ET. 1:5-10: E PH. 2:8-9

Get wisdom, get understanding—The wisdom that is from above—The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me—We are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us—God … hath quickened us together with Christ … and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. They that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country—Seek ye the L ORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness. C OL. 3:1; P ROV. 4:5—JAMES 3:17—JOB 28:14—ROM. 6:4-5; H EB. 12:1—EPH. 2:4-6; H EB. 11:14—ZEPH. 2:3: [

Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices—We ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body—Bow thy heavens, O L ORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven—Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation—It shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the L ORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus—That blessed hope … the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ—Our conversation is in heaven.

Greetings Brothers and Sisters, grace, peace, and Love to you in the name of God our Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit. God is so good to us. I thank Him for you. I consider it a great privilege to have this opportunity to share with you from God’s word concerning our ability to know ourselves. Lord God, I ask that you lead me and guide me as I explain from your word as it pertains to the subject of our ability to know or find ourselves, I thank You Lord in Jesus name Amen.

What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? (Matt 18:12). My friends, I remember conversations with students that I had the privilege of knowing for many years. During the period of time of graduating, the teachers would ask what are you going to do from here? are you going to college? The favorite answer was, I have to find my self. I use this age because it is the time in most people’s lives that they take on the responsibility of making decisions concerning their lives. The answer seems to be an acceptable excuse, meaning that they will decide to go to college after they explore life on their own terms. This is the same explanation, or something similar, given when you ask someone about their relationship with the Lord. I confess I did the same.

No one knows a car and all its design details better than the person that designed it. The same with a washing machine and dryer. It stands to reason that no one knows you better than your Creator. If you don’t know yourself by now it also stands to reason that you will never know yourself using the trial and error method. God knows you completely. He created you and He knows exactly who you are, and exactly what you need. God knows more about you than anyone including yourself. Think about it God created the universe and everything in it, in your mind you can’t even imagine anyone or anything greater than God. Amen. God created you, He knows you, and love you in spite of yourself. If you truly want to know yourself ask God.

Out of all God created He left and came looking for you and for me and for whosoever will listen. God is so good and so loving that He wants to save you from eternal condemnation. God doesn’t want you to suffer the corruption of the abyss. God made provisions to deal with the sin question in our life that destines us for condemnation. It is the sin in our lives that separate us from God. The wages for sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). God loves you so much that He sent His Only-begotten into this world to die on the cross for your sin and mine and the whole world. The scripture says “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believe in Him shall have eternal Life (John 3:16). This invitation is only good while you are yet alive. It is rare for a man to know just when His time is up. Don’t take that gamble, accept God’s invitation now. How many times have you heard that someone died and the coroner can’t find the reason for their death? You don’t have to be sick, no one has to kill you, you can just die. Your days are numbered. Believe in Jesus while you still have breath. When you die it is too late. Don’t waste your time trying to get your life together first, no matter what you do unless you come to Jesus you will always fall short. Don’t be afraid my friends, Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved Romans 10:13). God wants you to come as you are.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ we must reach out to the unsaved and take them by the hand and lead them to Jesus, the time is drawing near. Let your light shine so that they will be able to see, every time someone comes to the Lord there is rejoicing in Heaven. Remember God gave the Gospel to you for you to give to others, and so that they can give it to others. On that great and wonderful day of the Lord, we shall all rejoice with Him together. Amen! God Bless You. Thank You Lord, Amen

Greetings Brothers and Sisters, grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. May God continue blessing you with all you need, and may He Bless you with your special desire. I thank God for you and for the Love He has expressed toward us all in that He has provided redemption for humanity. I thank God for you, and for the opportunity He has given me to share with you the cost of redemption, guide me Lord that I may help others to understand what our Redemption cost you, in Jesus’ name Amen.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body (1 Cor 6:19-20).

Redemption has to do with the payment of a price. Redemption has to do with the payment of the price required for purchasing out of the market. Biblically it has to do with purchasing out of the slave market of sin and death. The breaking of God’s law is a sin. When Adam the representative of the Human race broke God’s law he sinned and the penalty is death, we all are guilty. We are guilty because we were in Him seminally when He sinned. Therefore we cannot say that if we were presented with the choice we would not have sinned The moment Adam broke God’s law his nature was cursed, the curse of the law is sin and death. Before Adam’s nature was pure, once he sinned his nature became marred and was sold to the slave market of sin and death. No matter what we do we can not purchase ourselves out of the slave market of sin and death. We lost our value as a human being, we still maintain the image of God but it is marred, stained with sin and the payment is life the penalty is death. The Holiness of God demands payment for sin. Once you die the price has been paid, at this point you don’t have any equity left to be restored back to life, that is the curse of the law, death. Fellowship with God has been severed, the payment has been made, the law has been satisfied. Now if you paid your penalty then you are burning in hell, but if Christ paid your penal cost then as far as God is concerned you are seated at the right hand of God, alongside Christ

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON ATREE “— (Gal 310). God imputed upon Jesus Christ the Sin of the world, Jesus Paid the cost by shedding His blood on the cross and dying upon that cross. If it were possible for a man to be without sin, giving his life as a substitute would only pay for one life. Christ the Son of God created the universe and everything in it. His life is more valuable than the entire universe and everything in it. His death paid the penalty for the sin of the world past present and future. Not like the man who paid the cost for his sin with no life left to live. Jesus’s life paid for the entire world and He was resurrected to life.

Jesus has freed us from the law of sin and death, we no longer have to live under the law of sin and death. Jesus gave His life for the world. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to redeem us by paying the price, to purchase us out of the slave market of sin and death. Even though Christ paid the penalty for the world, one must receive the gift on an individual basis. God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but shall have everlasting life.(John 3:16). God is so generous with His love and compassion that invites us to come and receive the gift of eternal life, acquired through believing in His Son Jesus Christ, Our Lord. My friends, do you now believe? if So ask God to forgive you based on the work of His Son on your behalf. God Bless You. Thank you, Lord Amen
