Action Required for Salvation

You don't need to do anything, to end up in hell, but you have to TAKE ACTION to be saved from hell. You have to turn from your own ways and follow Jesus, His Way. He alone is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Many people have been deceived into believing that you only need to believe in Jesus and confess that you believe in Him to be saved. That is NOT TRUE.  If you truly believe in Jesus you have to obey and follow Him, or else your confession of faith is just a false statement.

Jesus said:"If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me."Matthew 16:24.

Salvation is not about Bible study, church and religious practices, it is about taking ACTION and following Jesus.

Jesus is ALIVE and He REVEALS Himself as real to those who believe in Him AND obey His words, TAKE ACTION, do as He commanded. You have to REPENT, turn from being a self serving sinner and become a disciple, a follower of Jesus Christ.

Go on your knees, pray, speak to Jesus, commit yourself to Him to follow and obey Him. Ask Him to forgive your past sin and ask Him to make you NEW inside, Born Again, to be a child of God. You have to be serious and pray from your heart, meaning it, then Jesus will accept you, make you New inside, Born Again to be His follower. You will experience joy and peace like never in your life. Jesus gives PEACE that passes all understanding. You will KNOW that Jesus is Alive, He will be REAL to you.

Then you have to TAKE ACTION, stop sinning.  You will immediately feel conviction in your heart if you even think about sinning. Obey that conviction. It is the Holy Spirit, speaking in your spirit, guiding you into righteousness, guiding you into the Ways of Jesus. If you disobey Him the peace of Jesus will leave you and you will feel darkness and fear coming over you, the fear of God. Immediately TAKE ACTION, REPENT, ask Jesus' forgiveness and His peace will return. Do not go back to the same sin, because then you demonstrate that you are not serious. If you are not serious, you will not be forgiven and that sin will stay between you and Jesus. Weed out all sin in your life and be holy, sin no more. Respond to and obey the conviction of the Holy Spirit and you will stay in His peace. Read and live by the words of Jesus as they are recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the words of eternal life for those who obey them.

Be baptized in water for the washing off of your sin and as a testimony of you becoming a follower of Jesus. Jesus commanded His disciples:"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."Mark 16:15,16. You MUST be baptized in water if you want to follow Jesus. If you don't, you cannot follow Jesus and be His disciple. We have to follow Him ALL the way.

Always pray, speak to Jesus, listen, be sensitive to the conviction of the Holy Spirit speaking in your heart and respond, obey. He will guide you into His ways. Pray all day, even in your mind while going about your daily activities. Seek a closer walk with Jesus all the time. Jesus promised to give His Holy Spirit in those who seek and follow Him. He promised to Baptize them in the Holy Spirit. He will come and live IN them and guide them. Earnestly seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Ask Jesus to FILL you with His Spirit so that you will experience Him all the time and be led by Him. We read in Romans 8:14 "Those who are being led by the Spirit, they are the sons(children) of God." You must be led by the Holy Spirit, to be able to follow Jesus and have eternal life. If you do not follow and obey Him you will not enter heaven.

We have to follow Jesus all our life, until the end. If we stray and go our own way, we will end up in hell. We have to stay with Jesus all the way. It is a life of TAKING ACTION, following and obeying Jesus every day, living for Him, obeying Him, not living for ourselves and the selfish pleasures of sin, and desires of the flesh. We have to DENY ourselves those pleasures every day, stay with our commitment (pick up our cross) and follow Jesus all the way, until the end.

Our lives must be about Jesus, living for Him, in obedience to Him, doing what He commanded, being led by the Holy Spirit, going where He sends us, doing what He tells us to do. We must be His witnesses and bear fruit for His kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, and we can only do that if we TAKE ACTION, every day. listen, obey and follow Jesus. He will guide and teach us. He will speak to us, but we have to STtAY WITH Him. Without Jesus we can do nothing.

Jesus is the only way. Are you taking ACTION, every day, following and obeying Jesus? Are you TAKING ACTION?



May Jesus bless you.

PERFECTION Required for Salvation

When you preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and His requirements for salvation then people will often ask you whether you are sinless, or whether you are perfect.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about His followers. It is about His requirements for salvation. If we do not live up to His requirements and if we do not obey Him we will not enter His kingdom.

We preach the gospel of Jesus Christ because we have come to know Him and we know His requirements. We know that only those who obey Him and who endure until the very end  will enter His kingdom.

He said:"Be perfect like your father in heaven is perfect." Those are His words. The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. People tell you that there are no righteous men on earth. That is immaterial, that does not matter. What matters is: Do we comply with with the words of Jesus Christ? Does He approve of us? The words of Jesus are recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the words that will judge each and every one of us.

Do we live up to those words? Those who disobey Jesus Christ are already judged. Are we trying to refute Jesus or are we following Him

Only those who comply with His words, His commands, only they are suitable for the kingdom of heaven. Do we comply with the words of Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you?

Jesus Christ Requires PERFECTION

Jesus Christ requires of us absolute perfection in obedience to Him, or else we are useless for the kingdom of heaven and we will end up in hell.  A thoroughbred horse that does not perform to the commands and instructions of his rider will end up at the slaughterhouse. A tree that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned.

Many thoroughbred Christians will end up in hell because they do not yield to Jesus Christ. They do not submit to Him, they are useless for the kingdom of heaven. Many Christians are like trees with lush branches but they have no fruit. They quote Bible verse and they are very religious but they have bad fruit, they are SINNERS. They will get cut off and burned. If we do not submit to Jesus Christ and perfectly obey Him, live for His kingdom and do His will  we are USELESS for Him and He will discard of us. Every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned.

Is Jesus Christ PERFECTLY pleased with our fruit, with our performance? Do we YIELD to His correction and do we  allow Him to form us, make us and change us into His likeness or are we INSUBORDINATE, DISOBEDIENT, FRUITLESS, conformed to this world?

If we we do not submit to Him, repent and bear good fruit and perfectly obey Him we will perish. He will discard of us like the thoroughbred horse that ends up at the slaughterhouse, like the beautiful tree that gets cut down because it does not bear fruit.

Are we PERFECTLY obedient to Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Why you HAVE TO be baptized

To be baptized in water AFTER repentance, is a COMMANDMENT of Jesus Christ and an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT for salvation.
Jesus Christ Himself was baptized in water. John the Baptist was at first not willing to baptize Jesus. We read in Matthew 3:14,15.
 "14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Then he permitted Him.'
To be baptized in water after believing in Jesus Christ, means to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS because to be baptized in water is a COMMANDMENT that comes from God. Jesus Christ did not say or do anything on His own initiative. he came to do the will of the Father and thus He spoke the words of the Father.
We read in John 5:30 Jesus said:  “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. "
We also read in John 8:28 Jesus said:" I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me."
Whatever Jesus commanded we have to DO to have eternal life. we have to OBEY Him.
We read in Matthew 28:19,20 Jesus commanded:  "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. "
Jesus Christ COMMANDED these things.
We read in Mark 16:15,16.
And He said to His disciples “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed AND HAS BEEN BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."
That is also the reason why many believers do not receive the Holy Spirit, because Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him, who REPENT and who are BAPTIZED IN WATER.
We read the words of Peter in Acts 5:32 "And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who OBEY Him."
Have you OBEYED Jesus Christ since you believed? Did you REPENT of sin. Were you baptized in water and did you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to those who OBEY Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Bible knowledge cannot save you

Many people think that knowing the Bible, quoting scriptures and believing in Jesus will save them from eternal damnation. The only thing that will save you is your TESTIMONY, your RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ, your TRACK RECORD, what you have DONE since you read your Bible, whether you have found Jesus Christ and whether you OBEY Him, FOLLOW Him every day, live in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Does Jesus KNOW YOU? Do you follow Jesus every day? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Are you LED by the Spirit of God and can you TESTIFY of your relationship with Jesus Christ?

If you do not have a testimony then you don't know Jesus and He does not know you and when you die He will say to you:”Go away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness.” It is not your knowledge of the Bible, how many scriptures you can quote, and how you can defend YOUR SALVATION, that is not what matters. What will count in the end is your TESTIMONY. DO YOU KNOW JESUS? Do you walk every day with Him? Can you tell the world that Jesus Christ is real? Can you testify of Jesus in your life today, what He has done, how He has changed you and what you are doing to serve Him in His Kingdom? Are you following Jesus Christ or do you just study the Bible and believe that is enough to save you?

Seek Jesus, get to know Him, follow Him, obey Him and you will have a testimony of Jesus Christ when you stand before Him. May Jesus bless you.
