By grace are ye saved through faith

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without GOD in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the Law of Commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that He might reconcile both unto GOD in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (Eph 2:12-18)
    For the most part, though GOD never rejects any one that comes to Him in true faith and repentance, the Gentiles, unless they converted to Judaism after a lengthy process were excluded from the Jewish religion.  Through the Gospel we are now brought nigh unto GOD, not by our own merits, or works of the Law, for the Law cannot save any body, but by His grace and mercy. The Law is our schoolmaster to show us our need of Him, whether the Jews that kept the Law by faith in the Lawgiver, or Gentiles who by doing the works of the Law become a law unto themselves, all are in need of Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary in our place to pay our sIn debt.

    He is the only way of Salvation for He was without sIn, and became sIn for us, that we might live unto righteousness and holiness in Him through faith and His Spirit within us. We are not free from the Law to live in sIn, but we are at liberty to live His life in us free from its ordinances and at peace with GOD who is our life. He has made us who know Him and are in a right relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ new creatures, the old is passed away and we are to now to walk in Him both to do and to will of His good pleasure.

    We are called to serve Him as we serve others, His ambassadors representing His Kingdom as we minister to those around us who are hurting and in need that others might see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We are commanded to love one another and disciple one another in the Word of GOD as we grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ who is the head of the body, and we are members in particular. We are commissioned to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and as we go, tell every one we meet the Good News so 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.

In Christ,

But now in Christ Jesus ye are made nigh unto GOD by His blood

But GOD, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For 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. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:4-10)
    It is only by the mercies of GOD, which are renewed every morning, that we are not consumed. All are born into sIn, and for many prIde keeps them there, but GOD out of the riches of His grace, commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. After three days and three nights in the tomb, He was raised again according to the Scriptures and ever liveth to make intercession for His saints. All those who are born again by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary are His saints, not because of any thing we have done, but by His mercy and grace.

    We cannot save ourselves, for if we could Christ would not have had to die in our place. We cannot earn any favour with GOD, for then it would not be grace or His gift to us, purchased in His own blood. We cannot affect our Salvation, or our relationship with GOD once we truly have it through repentance of our sins and faith in Him, for it is by His power and His Spirit changing us from once we once were into what He wants us to become in Him. All those things we once thought and did are buried at the Cross for those who repent and believe. Our past is behind us, covered by His blood, and as far from GOD as the east is from the west, forgiven, not to sIn willfully any more or continue in sIn, but to live in liberty and love through and for Him and to accomplish His will and work in this sinful and broken world.

    We who are His, in obedience to His Word and the Spirit of GOD who guides us, go and minister, as His ambassadors to those who are hurting and in need, that they might see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We who are His, resting in Him as He works in us both to do and to will of His good pleasure, love one another in the unity of the Spirit and the fellowship of His saints. We who are His, in submission to His commission of His own, go and tell the Good News, and as we go where He sends us we tell every one we meet of our Saviour and Lord so that those who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and repent 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.

Ye have heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your Salvation

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the Heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. (Eph 1:17-23)
    Our knowledge, faith, and wisdom all come from GOD, His Word, and His Spirit. He equips us with faith to believe His Word, trust His grace through His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, and rest in Him secure in His mercy and love. He empowers us with His Spirit not only to be born again from above but also to will and to do of His good pleasure. He has saved us from our sins through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ and will continue to work in us to make us more like Him.

    He is perfecting us, conforming us to the image of Jesus Christ through His Word until we all come into the full measure of Him. He is equipping us through His church to accomplish His mission and do His work while we are here. He is encouraging us that we may engage and enable people to enjoy Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, who lived a live without sIn, put to death the flesh, and is now risen and at the right hand of GOD the Father making intercession for the saints until He returns for His own and to judge this broken and sinful world as King of kings and Lord of lords.

    He is highly exalted and above every name and He has magnified His Word above His Name that we might walk in Truth and share Him with those who are hurting and in need as His ambassadors. He is the Head of the Church, His body, and we are members in particular and should love one another even as He loved us and gave Himself for us. He is the only Salvation and way to the Father and only by faith in the Gospel can we repent and in believing the Good News of Jesus Christ can we 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 and peace to you from GOD the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ His Son

8/26/2015

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the Glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: (Eph 1:3-10)
    Resuming our journey through Paul's letters, after taking a side trip through John's Gospel and letters, we now pick up with the prison letters. Paul speaking to the church at Ephesus assures us that Christ's plan for His people is not a plan B. He has always willed the Salvation of those who come to GOD the Father through repentance and faith in the finished and perfect work of Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, on the Cross of Calvary. Even before Adam sinned, and we in Adam, our GOD had determined, not who would be saved and who would not, but that all who are born again by faith in Him would be holy and blameless in Christ, conformed through the Spirit and the Word of GOD to the image of His dear Son.

    Jesus Christ, the Lamb of GOD slain from the foundation of the world, went willingly and humbly to the Cross in obedience to the Father's will and to accomplish the work of Salvation and pay the sIn debt we cannot pay. Our Lord came at the right time, that had been chosen by the Father, in complete submission to His Father, and put on flesh, made in the likeness of men, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, in our place and for our sIn, for He was without sIn. We are made righteous in Christ Jesus, not to continue in sIn or to live as we want, but in the liberty of Christ we are free to live for Him and accomplish His will and work while we are here in this broken and sinful world.

    In obedience to our Lord, we do His will and do the good works which He hath before ordained that we should walk in them, not to earn Heaven or righteousness, for we cannot by any means affect our own Salvation, but because of His love for us, that we express to others around us who are hurting and in need. We love one another, accepted in the beloved, and making disciples who make disciples through His Word and keeping the unity of the Spirit. We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all we meet, as we go where He sends us, that those who need to hear the Good News might repent and believe 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.

Follow not that which is evil but that which is good

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the Truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the Truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in Truth. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a Godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for His Name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the Truth. (3Jn 1:3-8)
    GOD's people are to guard the Truth, stay in the Truth, and walk in the Truth. GOD's Word is Truth. We hide its Words in our heart that we might not sIn against GOD, we meditate on its precepts as we go on our way with and in Him, we study it to shew ourselves approved unto GOD rightly dividing its books, we read its pages to know and hear from our Lord, and hear its words that we might observe to do all He commands. It is His message to us, full of grace and Truth, that we might grow from its milk, live on its bread, digest its meat, and savour its honey. We stand strong on its promises, wield it as our proven sword against the attacks of the enemy, hold fast to its sure foundation in the storms of life,  proclaim its Gospel to the nations, and rest in its testimonies of our GOD.

    We disciple one another from its statutes and judgments, growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We trust its precepts and commands because it speaks of Him, whom we have trusted to save to the uttermost because of His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. We proclaim its Truth and the Good News of Jesus Christ to all we encounter that they may repent of their sIns and receive His great Salvation. We live and work by its commands through the Spirit that empowers us and lives within to work both to do and to will of His good pleasure. We love one another, as Christ first loved us, and fellowship in the unity of the Spirit, ministering to those within and without, until He is done with us and brings us Home to be with Him.

    Standing on the Truth of the Word of GOD, we minister as His ambassadors to those who are hurting and in need. Safe and secure in the promises of GOD, not to continue in sIn, but to live in the glorious liberty of the children of GOD, we encourage and edify the body of Christ, of whom we are members in particular. Saved from sIn by the washing of the Word and our repentance and faith, we go, and as we go, we preach the Word, that all may know of Him and believe His enduring Word, hear the Gospel and believe the Good News in repentance from sIn and faith toward GOD and our Lord 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.

The commandment which we have that we love one another.

8/24/2015

And this is love, that we walk after His Commandments. This is the Commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the Doctrine of Christ, hath not GOD. He that abideth in the Doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him GOD speed: For he that biddeth him GOD speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2Jn 1:6-11)
    There are many who come with great speeches, and some even with miracles, that claim to be some person or another, even claiming to be from GOD, who do not have the calling or indwelling of the Holy Spirit, nor the doctrines of the Scriptures. They may have another Jesus, or deny many of the truths of who He is, or they may twist and obscure their own false doctrines to sound good or seem 'christian', but we should not be fooled. We should search the Scriptures daily to see if those things we see and hear are so and discern the truth from that which is false.

    Our love for GOD should keep us in His Word that we guard our hearts with the Sword of the Spirit. GOD has given us the Scriptures, His Holy Word, that we might know Him, and through His Spirit hear from Him. It should be our daily bread, and both meat and milk for our spiritual nourishment and growth in Him. Its treasures and precepts ought to be rightly divided and understood by those who are His, not just from the hearing but also in doing for the Word of the Lord is Truth and life and abideth for ever. It is the incorruptible seed by which we are born again, and where it speaks, about history, or science, or sIn, it is without error for it is the Word of GOD.

    Those of us who are secure in Christ because of our faith and trust in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary are hide His Word in our heart that we might not sIn against GOD. We are to share His Word with others as we minister to those who are hurting and in need. We are to disciple one another in His Word that we may all grow into the full measure of Him. We are take His Word to this lost and dying world and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all we meet, that those who believe the Good News 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.

This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

8/21/2015

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of GOD is greater: for this is the witness of GOD which He hath testified of His Son. He that believeth on the Son of GOD hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not GOD hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that GOD gave of His Son. And this is the record, that GOD hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of GOD hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the Name of the Son of GOD; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the Name of the Son of GOD. (1Jn 5:9-13)
    GOD sent His only begotten Son to be the perfect sacrifice and payment for our sIn. He that was without sIn was made in the likeness of sinful flesh and put to death the flesh that we, who were without strength to save ourselves, might be made the righteousness of GOD in Him. Christ Jesus died on that cruel Roman cross, according to the Scriptures, and was buried and arose again after three days and three nights according to the Scriptures, quickened by the Spirit that we might have eternal life in, through and with Him in whom we have believed in repentance and trust in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary as sufficient for the payment for our sIn.

    We who have turned from sIn and to our righteous GOD and still cling to that old rugged Cross have Salvation, not by any works of righteousness that we have done, for all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, but by His precious blood. We know we have the assurance of His great Salvation, not by our works, but by His grace and the authority and power that Jesus has to judge, to save, and to mediate for. To judge those who reject or ignore Him as the only righteous Judge, to save those that come to Him in repentance and faith and in no wise cast out any, to mediate on behalf of those who are His and secure in His Hand because they have been born again by His power and Spirit.

    We are to proclaim this Good News to all who will hear, that GOD came into this world to save sinners and that those who believe in Him can be assured of eternal life now and always. We witness of Him as we minister to those who are hurting and in need that they may see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. We share Him with others as we disciple one another in His Word and grow in grace and the knowledge of Him. We testify of Him as we go in His power with the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who don't know Him that they might repent and believe the Good News 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 the Son hath life

8/20/2015

For whatsoever is born of GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of GOD? This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is Truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of GOD is greater: for this is the witness of GOD which He hath testified of His Son. (1Jn 5:4-9)
    Because of the Spirit of GOD and our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary we have eternal life and we know that we are secure in Him by His power and our repentance of our sIn that separated us from GOD. By His Word we know more of Him and are empowered to stand strong in His might against all that would come against us, not in our own flesh, for the arm of flesh will fail us, but upheld by the right hand of His righteousness. He is Truth, and we are free in Him because Truth is in us through the Father who is reconciling all who will believe unto Himself, by the shed blood of the Son who put on flesh and dwelt among us and now makes intercession of His saints, and the indwelling Spirit who testifies to us that we are the sons of GOD.

    The mystery of the Triune GODhead; the Father who is over all, the Son who was made flesh, and the Spirit who reproves the world, who are three and yet one. The Father sent the Son to be the sacrifice for sIn. The Son hath sent His Spirit to accomplish the will and work of GOD in this world. The Spirit comforts and guides the people of GOD through His Word as we grow in Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son. The Spirit points people to the Son. The Son sitteth at the right hand of the Throne of GOD, the mediator between GOD and man. The Father has given Jesus a Name which is above every name and given all judgment into His hand. Yet, they are all GOD, the one True GOD, of love and of justice and of Judgment, who is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

    He works in us who know Him both to will and to do of His good pleasure. He sends us as He will to minister as His ambassadors to this lost and dying world. The Father calls us to meet the needs of those around us who are hurting and in need, as the Spirit guides us and provides the riches of the riches of the grace of Jesus Christ on His people. The Father commands us to love one another as Jesus loves us, and to disciple one another in His Word as we grow through the Spirit. The Father has commissioned us to go with the Gospel of the Jesus Christ in the power of the Spirit to those around us that they might hear the Good News and in repentance and faith 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.

The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world

8/19/2015

 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of GOD; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth GOD. He that loveth not knoweth not GOD; for GOD is love. In this was manifested the love of GOD toward us, because that GOD sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved GOD, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if GOD so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen GOD at any time. If we love one another, GOD dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit. (1Jn 4:7-13)
    Loving one another, as GOD has loved us, is not about an emotional feeling, or romantic love, or even brotherly affection, though those also are from GOD who created us in His image. This is referring to both head and heart action in preferring others before ourselves, sacrificing for others, and giving of ourselves to invest in the lives of others. Jesus demonstrated it perfectly when He humbly and willingly obeyed the Father and went in our place, to pay our sIn debt, on the Cross of Calvary.

    His Spirit in us, manifests not only the love of GOD as His fruit, but also as we work out our own Salvation, true love for others in our thoughts, words, and deeds. When we reckon ourselves dead to sin, and alive in Christ, and walk in the Spirit, He is able to direct our paths, guide us to those who need His love and mercy, and accomplish His will and work in this sinful world. We are the body of Christ, and when people see us, they should see Jesus, the hope of Glory, as we minister to them as His ambassadors.

    He has paid the debt for our sIns that we might be free, and now liveth to make intercession for His saints and servants, that we might live in Him at liberty to do His will and work until He takes us Home to be with Him. We are free to minister to others around us who are hurting and in need as He provides for His people. We are to serve one another in the Gospel as we grow in grace and in our knowledge of Him as His Spirit conforms us to the image of His dear Son. We are at liberty to go into this lost and dying world with the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, and share Him with those that will hear, believe, and repent, that they 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.

He that is of GOD heareth GOD's Words

8/18/2015

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of GOD: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of GOD: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of GOD: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of GOD: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of GOD, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of GOD: he that knoweth GOD heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error. (1Jn 4:1-6)
    GOD's people hear His voice, through the Spirit of GOD and the Word of GOD. He speaks when we pray; to convict of sIn, to comfort and guide us in our journey, and to direct our steps. He speaks from His Word that we might know Him, grow in Him, and be conformed to the image of His dear Son as we are obedient as doers of the Word and not hearers only. He speaks to us through that still small voice, that we might know that the way we are to go, to walk in His paths and join Him in His work.

    There are many around us, and some within, that claim to speak for GOD, and yet do not know Him nor do they speak for Him, but for themselves or for their father, the devil. They can only deceive those who do not check what is said with the Standard of GOD's Word. We are to search the Scriptures daily whether those things we hear and read are so, and listen for the voice of GOD to counter the lies around us.

    We have overcome in Him all that comes against us, and when we rely on His strength and not our own we will realize that overcoming power. GOD is greater than all, His Spirit within us empowers us to the victory He has already won, and His blood shed for us has already paid our sIn debt. That payment is not a license to sIn, but overcoming power to live in liberty and in Him, to do His will and accomplish His Work.

    We are free from sIn, that we might serve Him and reach out to others who are hurting and in need. We are free from the penalty of sIn, not sIn more but to love one another and grow in Him through His Word. We are free, through His overcoming power from the power of sIn, that we might go to this world, free from its voices and lies, and take the Gospel of Truth to those around us, that they might believe the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for sIn and reconciliation with GOD in repentance of their sIn and faith in Him and receive 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
