Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

4/30/2015

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of GOD with idols? for ye are the temple of the living GOD; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their GOD, and they shall be My people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2Co 6:14-18)
    Those who are born again by faith in Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary are to be Holy, separate, peculiar. We have been chosen, cleansed by His blood, a royal priesthood, and a new creature in Christ. Because of our relationship with the Father, through Jesus Christ, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we are His children, ambassadors of the King and ministers of reconciliation. We are His temple, and the sheep of His pasture and are to live in and through Him surrendered lives, that take up our cross, and reflect our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

    Whether it is in personal relationships, dating and marriage, business, and even our worship and service, we are not to stand in agreement with those who do not believe our GOD, and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is GOD in the flesh, and His Word. Whether it is another faith, or no faith at all, we are not to fellowship with them, or worship as they do, for we are not worshiping in Spirit and in Truth, for they serve other gods.

    We can and must witness of Christ to those who do not know Him, and live our lives to reflect our Lord, while lifting Him up and giving Him the glory He deserves. We are to speak the Truth in love from His Word and through the guidance and promptings of the Holy Spirit to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all long suffering and Doctrine.

    We are to minister to those who are hurting, without partaking of their deeds. We are to strengthen and disciple one another to the task, while loving one another as members of His body. We are to share Christ and His Gospel at every opportunity that those who should see a difference in us, may hear and believe the Good News of Jesus Christ and have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

In Christ,

They which live should not henceforth live unto themselves but unto Him

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of GOD, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that GOD was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the Word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though GOD did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to GOD. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of GOD in Him. (2Co 5:17-21)
    The new birth that comes from being in Christ, having repented of sIn and received Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, makes us not only righteous in His eyes, but reconciled to our Father through Jesus Christ. We are not only in fellowship with GOD, our Creator, but also in a legally adopted relationship that cannot be undone. Christ is our rest, and our liberty, set free from the handwriting of ordinances which were against us, because everything has been paid for and settled in Him.

    Now that is not a license to do what we want, or to sIn, but freedom to do His will and accomplish His work as He continues to call this lost and dying world to Himself. The work we are to do in and through Him to reach others, means we represent the Kingdom and lift up our Lord and King, that others may be drawn to GOD our Saviour. We are to continually surrender, bearing our cross, and dying daily, to self, to sin, and to this world, that the new birth that Christ has wrought in us, will also lead to growth in Him and His grace as we become more like Him and conformed to the image of His dear Son.

    As we grow in the Word, the Holy Scriptures which are able to make us wise unto Salvation, which are given by Inspiration of GOD, and are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, we are throughly equipped unto all good works. We, as His ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation share His love, mercy, and grace with those who are hurting and in need, not to earn Heaven, but because of His love for and in us. We disciple one another in the Word, and love one another, even as Christ loved us, and gave Himself for us. As we go, we are to take the Gospel to everyone, that those who hear the Good News of Jesus Christ may hear, not just with their ears, but with their hearts and believe, and in believing have life in His Name.

     For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

He that hath wrought us for eternity with Him is GOD

4/28/2015

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto GOD; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (2Co 5:6-11)
    Our Lord is going to judge His people, not for our sins, which are covered by His blood, but for what we did for Him. That means in this life, until we are present with Him, we are at Liberty, not to sin against our Holy GOD who calls us to holiness, but to walk in Him and accomplish His Will as He lives and works through and in us to do His work. In light of eternity, and in light of His judgment, all that we try to accomplish must be considered whether it is of GOD, and whether it is of the flesh, or of this lost and dying world.

    Knowing the judgement that is coming, for us with Christ, and for those who have rejected Christ at His appearing, we ought to be telling every one we can of the love and grace of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Since we are not to quench the Spirit by our lack of response to His promptings, nor grieve Him with our disobedience, we ought to be listening to His voice, reading and studying His Word that we might know Christ, confessing our sin to Him and forsaking it, and bearing our cross daily as we die to self, in order to lift Him up and glorify the Great GOD and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Until that day, when He takes us Home to be with Him, by death or by the Rapture, we are to minister as His ambassadors to those who are hurting and in need. Social justice and good works are not added to the Gospel, nor are they to earn anything, but at His direction to draw others to Himself and because of His love for all. We are to disciple one another in the Word that we may grow thereby as we love one another in the body for we are all one in Christ. He has given us His Word to know Him and ourselves, and to be equipped for all good works. We are to go with the Gospel, living the Gospel we preach. As we go, we are teach all nations, and making disciples through His Word, that all who hear and believe the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary may have life in His Name.

     For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord

Knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of GOD. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2Co 4:14-18)
    Because of the eternal life those of us who are secure in Christ already have, by our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary and by our acknowledging and repenting of our sIn, we are to look to eternal things. The sufferings of this world are but just a moment in light of our everlasting presence with the Lord. Though we fall, we shall not be utterly cast down for we are upheld by His hand. We are strengthened, helped, and renewed by His power and righteousness within us to the work which He has for us to do.

    Seeing things from an eternal perspective, and not looking to this world, with its lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which are not of GOD, we are to be about our Father's business, so that others may believe in Him and receive Him by faith. Dwelling in the unity of the Spirit, and loving one another in the bonds of love, forbearing one another and forgiving one another, we who are in Christ are members of His body, and of one another. We are to bear one another's burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ, for the trials, tribulations, and temptations of this life will pass away along with all the things of this world.

    Because of His love for all and by His strength we minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, that they may see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. Because of His grace and by His Spirit we discipline one another in the Word and with love so that we may grow thereby and others may know we are His disciples. Because of His mercies that are renewed every morning, we go with the Gospel and teach all nations that they may hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and believe on His Name for eternal life.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

Seeing then that we have such Hope, we use great plainness of speech

4/24/2015

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of GOD deceitfully; but by manifestation of the Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of GOD. But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of GOD, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 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. (2Co 4:1-6)
    Because of the mercy we have received from GOD, we owe it to those who are lost as we once were to tell them of the forgiveness and reconciliation that comes from repentance of sIn and faith in the finished and perfect work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary. We are commissioned and commanded to share this Good News with everyone we meet so they too may hear and believe, knowing that many forces, seen and unseen, are against us. Those who are blinded to the Truth will not see, until the Word of GOD and the Spirit of GOD work in their minds and hearts to bring them to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, just as He did with us.

    Our message must be consistent, from the Scriptures, without deceit or subtlety, because our GOD is Truth, and He does not change. We must live the Gospel we preach, even as we preach the Gospel we live. As ambassadors of the Kingdom of GOD we are to serve, and we must not strive, but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if GOD peradventure will give them repentance and the acknowledging of the Truth. We are not here to fight 'holy wars' for our weapons are not of this world, nor are they carnal. We are not here to convince anyone against their will, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. We are to fight the good fight, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, in spiritual armour, standing on our knees, and in His strength alone.

    For our GOD has not left us orphans, neither will he leave us or forsake us, He is our help, and we don't have to fear what man shall do unto us. He has empowered us to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need. He has equipped us to love one another and disciple one another in His Word that we may grow thereby, seeing that we have tasted that the Lord is gracious. He has emboldened us to go and tell His Good News, and as we go, proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who will hear that they might believe in Him, repent of their sins, and receive Him by faith and have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

My Hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness

4/23/2015

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2Co 3:12-18)
    For the Christian, our hope is in Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. Not only did He pay our sin debt, that we could not pay, but He reconciled us to the Father through His blood, as the perfect and final sacrifice for sIn. The Old Testament spoke of this in types, imagery, and forecasts, but did not reveal directly everything that GOD would do for us in the grace of the New Covenant. It is the revelation of GOD, first in Creation and continues with His dealing with people of this earth in general, and with Israel in particular, all the while revealing Himself as Lord of all.

    The Spirit, which guides us into all truth, can and does reveal to people who earnestly desire Him, the reality of Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, in the Scriptures, both in the Old Testament and in the New. Though many are blinded by prIde, sIn, or deception on the part of the enemies of GOD, GOD can and does reveal Himself to those who diligently seek Him that they might have saving faith, the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, in Him.

    GOD calls His children, the people of His Church, the members of His body, to go and tell, that all might hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. He commands His own, as His ambassadors of the Kingdom of GOD, to minister to those who are hurting and in need, that they might see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. We are to disciple one another in the Word, sanctifying the Lord GOD in our hearts, and being ready always to answer every man that asketh us a reason for the hope that is in us, with meekness and fear. We are to love one another, as members one of another, as Christ loved us, that all may know we are His disciples. We are commissioned to take the Gospel to this lost and dying world, that those who believe in Him and repent of their sins might have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

Man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ

4/22/2015

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of GOD; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. (2Co 3:5-11)
    Here we have a contrast between the new testament of grace through faith and the old testament of the Law which was kept by faith; and the spirit of grace in liberty and the letter of laws unto bondage and legalism. Christ and the Spirit engrafted on our hearts is superior to Moses and the Law engraved on tablets of stone. Our faith in Him gives us liberty, not to sIn, for that is still an offense against our righteous and Holy GOD, but to live in Him and do His work and will by His power. Faith in the Law cannot and will not save any one, for all it was meant for is to point people to their need of Christ. Our freedom is not to live as we please and to do as we want, but to live in Christ and through the Spirit we now live the Gospel we preach, and preach the Gospel we live.

    The life we now live in Him is by the faith of the Son of GOD, who is GOD the Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us, that we might be the righteousness of GOD in Jesus Christ through the indwelling Spirit that guides us into all Truth and the Word of GOD which is Truth. We are sanctified by His Word, hide it in our hearts that we might not sIn against Him, and hear His voice from its pages. We study and search the Scriptures for they speak of Him, we meditated on its precepts and proverbs that we might know Him, and we take what we have learned to others that all may come to know Him and have eternal life.

    Because Christ is superior to the Law, which He gave to Moses, and our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary is sufficient for our Salvation through His grace, we now live and work in Him and He in us, the Hope of Glory. We minister as His ambassadors to those who are hurting and in need, that they may see and hear of our Lord and their need of Him. We disciple one another in the Word that we may all grow up in Him and be conformed to the image of His dear Son. We love one another, members one of another, bearing one anothers burdens and forgiving one another, even as Christ hath forgiven us. We go and tell as ministers of reconciliation, that as we go, we may make disciples with the Gospel, teaching all He has commanded, and telling all who will hear of the Good News of Jesus Christ that those who repent of their sins and believe in Him might have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward Him

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; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Now thanks be unto GOD, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto GOD a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the Word of GOD: but as of sincerity, but as of GOD, in the sight of GOD speak we in Christ. (2Co 2:10-11, 114-17)
    Forgiveness of one another is essential to the love and charity that those in Christ are to have and do for one another. If we hold a grudge, or a root of bitterness, or even hatred in our thoughts, it allows the enemy of our souls and the accuser of the brethren an open door to deceive and disengage the people of GOD from not only living the Gospel we preach but also preaching the Gospel we live. If he can get us to focus on ourselves and not the work of GOD then many will not hear the message of Hope that we have.

    But GOD, who has already won our victory, gives us His power within to overcome the evil one, by forgiving others, loving one another in truth and charity, and relying on Jesus Christ, who is our everything, for all our needs. Prayerful study of His Word, and prayer for one another, leads to sweet communion with our GOD and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is the Son of GOD, who loved us and gave Himself for us, and with all those who are in Christ. We can love others because He first loved us. We hold fast to His Truth and Keep His Word that we may know Him.

    When we know Jesus in Truth through His Word, and fellowship in love with the brethren, We are empowered by the Spirit from on High to accomplish His will and work in this world. We preach Christ that others might be saved through repentance of their sins and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. We minister to those who are hurting and in need that others will see not only Christ, but their need of Him for Salvation. We disciple one another in the Word that all may grow to the full measure of Christ. We proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all who will hear, and as we go, preach the Gospel that those who turn from their sin and turn to GOD and believe in Him might have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

Grace be to you and peace from GOD our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be GOD, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the GOD of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of GOD. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. (2Co 1:3-7)
    Because of our hope in Christ, and the experience we have in Him, we are comforted while we are here, and at peace in the midst of life's storms, knowing that nothing in this life is permanent and is nothing compared to eternity with Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer. Even those afflictions and chastisements that we bring on ourselves, or that GOD directs, will pass, and can cause us to grow in Him, to repent of our sIns that have separated us from Him, trust Him even more, and allow us to comfort others who experience the same, in grace and peace.

    In this sinful and broken world we will suffer, either by those things which happen to all because the whole creation is cursed under the weight of sIn, or because GOD proves and tests His own to conform us to the image of His dear Son. While GOD can and does, according to His will, deliver us from evil, He also brings us through the flood and the fire, that we might grow in Him through His Word and His work in us, until He brings us Home to be with Him.

    Until that glorious day when we are ushered into the presence of our Lord, we have work to do, not to earn anything, but because of His love toward us and our love for Him. Because of the mercy He showed us, we are to extend mercy to others, in ministering and missions to those who are hurting and in need. Because of the Grace that is shed abroad in our hearts, we are to disciple one another in His Word, with grace and love, that we all may grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Because of His love, commended toward us on the Cross of Calvary, we who have received Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on that Cross are to go with the Gospel, and as we go, make disciples with the Good News of Jesus Christ, that those who believe in Him and repent of their sins might have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

In Christ,

The fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. (1Co 16:13-16)
    Those of us who are in Christ are to watch, using the lenses of Biblical truth from GOD's Word to view all we see, and standing strong and secure in Him because of our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, not just the mental facts, but a calm assurance that He will save to the uttermost those who have truly repented and surrendered to Him on His terms for Salvation. We are to be equipped and prepared for the battles we face with His Word and are to conduct ourselves as mature men and women in the faith we believe. We are to act toward others with the love of GOD and show ourselves as His disciples to be charitable in all things. We are to serve in His church, under the leadership of those He has called and appointed to be servant leaders of His congregations that we may all be disciplined in His Word and grow and His church may serve others and witness of His love mercy and grace.

    Until Jesus Christ is done with and takes us Home to be with Him, we are His servants here to this lost and dying world. As ambassadors of the Kingdom of GOD we are to minister to those who are hurting and in need, as GOD gives the increase that they may see Jesus in us, the Hope of Glory. As His disciples, we are to grow in Him, being conformed to the image of His dear Son, through the Spirit which dwells within and through His Word, and loving one another as Christ loved us, so that others may know we are His disciples. As ministers of reconciliation we are to take the Gospel where ever He sends us, and as we go, share the Good News of Jesus Christ and the forgiveness and relationship with GOD that comes from repentance and faith in Him, so that those who hear and believe may have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
