GIVE TIME FOR GOD... LETS DEEPEN OUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE TRUE GOSPEL... KNOW THE WAYS OF GOD... WHAT IS THE GOSPEL AND HOW IS THE GOSPEL PREACHED BY THE MEMBERS AND MESSENGERS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST? Speaking of the Gospel, it is the power of God to save as Apostle Paul wrote. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17) PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT IN CHRISTIANITY, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO PERVERT THE GOSPEL AND THIS IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL. BUT BY IDENTIFYING THE TRUE MESSAGE, WE CAN SEE ALSO HOW THE DEVIL MANEUVERS HIS SCHEME TO DECEIVE US. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 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. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:6-9) SO BE ALARMED AND KEEP WATCH IF THE GOSPEL WE RECEIVED ARE REALLY FROM GOD BECAUSE ASIDE FROM DESERTING JESUS CHRIST WHICH HE CALLED US TO HIS GRACE, OUR MINDS WILL BE CORRUPTED AND CAUSE US TO ABANDON OUR PURE AND FULL DEVOTION TO CHRIST FOR WE WILL RECEIVE A SPIRIT WHICH IS NOT FROM GOD. Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2Cor.11:1-4) SO ALL MESSENGERS OF GOD HAS FELT THIS GODLY JEALOUSY WHEN A MAN WILL FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE DEVIL THROUGH OUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE PERVERTED GOSPEL. AND WE KNOW THAT THE GOD OF UNIVERSE IS A JEALOUS GOD. AND WE KNOW THAT JEALOUSY BRINGS WRATH! FOR PERVERTED GOSPEL CAN DECEIVE AND WILL TURN US TO IDOL WORSHIP, WHOM, GOD GREATLY DESPISED! Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me... (Exo.20:5) SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL FROM THE PERVERTED ONE BECAUSE ONCE WE ARE DECEIVED IT WILL CAUSE US TO ABANDON THE GRACE WHICH JESUS HAS CALLED US. WE HAVE STILL A JESUS IN OUR HEARTS BUT IT IS A DIFFERENT JESUS THAT HAS A DIFFERENT SPIRIT. SO, IF WE BELIEVE THE TRUE MESSAGE, THEN WE RECEIVE CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) BUT WHEN IT IS THE PERVERTED MESSAGE, THEN WE RECEIVE THE OTHER SPIRIT WHICH IS THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL OR THE LYING SPIRIT OR THE SPIRIT OF THIS WORLD. IN THIS INSTANCE, WE ALSO RECEIVE THE MARK OF THE DEVIL BECAUSE WE RECEIVED HIS SPIRIT. THESE BECAME POSSIBLE THROUGH HIS FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE TEACHERS. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (2Peter 2:1-3) SO IN REGARDS TO THE GOSPEL, WE MUST RELY ON TRUTH NOT THE FABRICATED STORIES MADE BY THESE PEOPLE. WHEN WE LOOK FOR TRUTH WHO WILL TEACH US? WHERE TO FIND THEM? GOD ON HIS WISDOM AND LOVE HAS GIVEN US HIS WORD AND THE BIBLE FOR THIS PURPOSE. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2Tim.3:16-17) HOW WILL WE DO IT? APOSTLE PETER THEN WROTE THAT PAULS LETTERS COMES FROM THE WISDOM THAT GOD HAS GIVEN HIM. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. (2Peter 3:14-16) SO IN IDENTIFYING THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL, IT IS IMPORTANT TO RELY ON APOSTLE PAULS WRITINGS TO AVOID BEING DECEIVED BY THE DEVILS CUNNING. WE WILL BEGIN IN HIS LETTER TO THE GALATIANS. IT SAYS: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 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. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Gal. 1:6-12) IN THE LAST TWO VERSES, APOSTLE PAUL CLEARLY EXPRESSES THAT THE GOSPEL HE PREACHED IS NOT OF HUMAN ORIGIN AND IT CAME DIRECTLY FROM JESUS CHRIST. WE KNOW THAT PAULS CONVERSION HAPPENED ON HIS WAY TO DAMASCUS. HE SAW A STRANGE LIGHT THAT BLINDED HIM AND HE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH JESUS CHRIST. AND HE WROTE WHAT THAT MESSAGE HE RECEIVED FROM HIM ABOUT THE GOSPEL IN HIS LETTER TO THE CORINTHIANS. IT SAYS: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. (1Cor.11:23-25) THROUGH THIS, WE HAVE NOW POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE GOSPEL. IT IS ABOUT THE NIGHT WHEN JESUS WAS TOGETHER WITH THE APOSTLES AND WAS LATER BETRAYED THAT CAUSED HIS DEATH. AND THAT DEATH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LAW... Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.’” (Hebrews 10:5-7) THEREFORE, THAT BODY MUST DIE TO FULFILL THE LAW - THE PASSOVER LAW FOR HE IS THE PASSOVER LAMB OF GOD! Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.(1Cor.5:7-8) AND IS THE GOSPEL ITSELF! Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.. (1Cor.15:1-11) ON THAT VERY NIGHT HE TEACH THEM TO EAT HIS BODY AND DRINK HIS BLOOD - WHICH ACT IS FOR HIS REMEMBRANCE. BUT HOW THEN THAT SUCH ACT IS NOT OF HUMAN ORIGIN? IF WE WILL DIG DEEPER AND BROADEN OUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THAT NIGHT, WE WILL COME TO KNOW THAT IN THE WRITINGS OF MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN, THEY CELEBRATED THE PASSOVER WHICH JESUS CLEARLY COMMANDED THEM TO PREPARE. MATTHEW: Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. (Mat.26:17-20) MARK: And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? 13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. 14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. (Mark 14:12-15) LUKE: Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. (Luke 22:7-21) JOHN: Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one anothers feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me..” (John 13:1-20) WHICH APOSTLE PAUL ASSOCIATING JESUS DEATH TO THE PASSOVER! Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1Cor.5:7-8) AND WHAT IS REALLY THE REASON BEHIND JESUS TEACHING TO EAT HIS FLESH AND DRINKS HIS BLOOD? Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. (John 6:54-59) SO THE MESSAGE IS VERY CLEAR. WE DO IT TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE! THIS IS THE TEACHING OF JESUS FOR ETERNAL LIFE. WE CAN ACHIEVE ETERNAL LIFE IF WE EAT HIS BODY AND DRINKS HIS BLOOD WHICH IS THE BASIC OF CHRISTIAN RELIGION AND FAITH TO CHRIST! Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; (Titus 1:1-3) BUT WE MUST DO IT UNDER THE WILL OF GOD BECAUSE HE HAS SET A CORRECT TIME FOR THIS CELEBRATION! THIS PASSOVER WAS INSTIGATED BY GOD NOT MEN TO HONOR THE GOD OF ISRAEL.SO WHEN APOSTLE PAUL SAID THAT IT IS NOT OF HUMAN ORIGIN, HE CLEARLY POINTS US TO THE PASSOVER CELEBRATION! And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lords passover. (Exo.121-11) WE MUST ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CELEBRATION IS NOT OLD OR WHICH CAME FROM THE LAW OF MOSES. BECAUSE THE LAW OF MOSES COMMANDS US TO SACRIFICE AN ANIMAL. BUT THIS IS A NEW COMMAND FROM GOD HIMSELF THROUGH JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE MADE CHRIST THE PASSOVER LAMB OR THE PASSOVER SACRIFICE UNDER THE NEW COVENANT! WHAT THIS LAW ASK, JESUS PROVIDES AND PERFORMED AS OUR NEW HIGH PRIEST AND SACRIFICIAL LAMB! THIS IS THE LAW OF MOSES WHICH HE FULFILLS! “ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Mat.5:17-20) THAT EVEN HIS BONES WAS NOT BROKEN TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY- AS THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB- THE PASSOVER LAMB! THE PROPHECY: In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.. (Exo. 12:46) AND THE FULFILLMENT: For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.” (John 19:36) FOR THIS REASON, ALL BELIEVERS OF THE GOSPEL ARE COMMANDED TO CELEBRATE THIS FEAST AS APOSTLE PAUL THROUGH THE WISDOM OF GOD GIVEN TO HIM THAT URGED THE BELIEVERS TO DO! Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1Cor.5:7-8) THIS IS OF COURSE DONE FOR REMEMBRANCE OF CHRIST DEATH ON THE CROSS! DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. KNOWING THAT THIS CELEBRATION IS NOT OF HUMAN ORIGIN AND IS CLEARLY FROM GOD, IT IDENTIFIES THE TABLE AND CUP OF GOD. BUT SINCE SATAN HAS PERVERTED IT BY MIMICKING IT, HIS CELEBRATION CONDUCTED UNDER THE DOCTRINE OF MEN, IT BECOMES THE TABLE AND CUPS OF THE DEMON AND THEREBY BECOME A FORM OF AN IDOL WORSHIP! Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man anothers wealth. (1Cor.10:14-24) GOD HAS SHOWN HIS LOVE BY SENDING JESUS FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS THROUGH HIS DEATH. AND IN RETURN ALL HE ASK IS BELIEVE HIS GOSPEL. NOW THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE GOSPEL CLEARLY, THOSE WHO BELIEVE WILL INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE. BUT THOSE WHO WILL TURN THEIR BACK TO JESUS WHICH IS THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB OF THIS PASSOVER AND ACCEPT THE OTHER GOSPEL WHICH IS NOT A GOSPEL AT ALL, ARE LEADING THEMSELVES TO DESTRUCTION WITHOUT KNOWING IT. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (2Thess.1:6-10) THEY WILL BE CONDEMNED BECAUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE THEY DID NOT WELCOME AND LOVE THE TRUTH (TRUE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL) INSTEAD CLING ON WHAT IS LIE (THE PERVERTED GOSPEL). Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thess.2:9-12) SO, THOSE WHO ACCEPT THE OTHER GOSPEL, EVEN THOUGH THEY SPOKE GODS MESSAGE BY HIS NAME, DROVE OUT DEMONS, AND PERFORMED MANY MIRACLES, JESUS WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH COULD BE GIVEN ONLY TO OUR BELIEF OF THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL. AS THE SCRIPTURE TESTIFIED: “ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matt.7:21-13) GOD LOVE US ALL AND HE WANTS US TO BE OBEDIENT TO HIS WILL ALWAYS. IN THIS WAY, WE WILL REMAIN IN HIS LOVE. BUT IF WE WILL NOT BELIEVE, HIS WRATH IS UPON US - ON THE JUDGEMENT DAY! 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 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. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:16-21) AND THOSE WHO BELIEVED THIS GOSPEL IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD, ENTERS THE 7TH DAY TO REST WITH GOD... Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” (Hebews 4:1-13) AND HAVING BEEN BAPTIZED BY JESUS, OR SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THIS ALSO MEANS GOD HAD ALREADY ACCEPTED YOU... And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. (John 1:33-34) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; (Acts 15:8) THEN ON THAT DAY ONWARDS, YOU BECOME A NEW MAN OR A BORN AGAIN PERSON BEFORE GOD. YOU HAVE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS HE INFUSED IN YOU THROUGH YOUR BELIEF AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE GOSPEL... Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (1 Peter 1:22-25) WE ARE APPROACHING TO AN END AND AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED FOR THE LAST TIME AND THEN THE END WILL COME...(Mat.24:14) He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus... GOD BLESS...
