Attain To The STANDARD And EXAMPLE Of Jesus Christ

Believers foolishly like to compare themselves to the people that were written about in the Bible. They point out the mistakes and failures of historic figures and thereby attempt to justify their own sins and shortcomings. That is foolish, because we will not be judge by the lives and examples of others. We will be judged by the words and example of Jesus Christ.

We must live up to and attain to the standard of Jesus Christ to be suitable to enter heaven.

The words and commandments of Jesus are the standard, as He also said: "48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it."John 12:48,49.

Many believers disregard the words of Jesus and they disobey Him. They  like to quote the words fo Paul  and the words of other followers of Jesus. Adhering to the words of men will not save us. We have to obey the words of Jesus to have salvation.

Go and read the words of Jesus, (the red letter words in some Bibles), in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Obey those words and live according to the standard and example of Jesus Christ. how He lived. That is what is required of a born again child of God, not what Paul or anybody else said..

The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life, for those who obey Him. Those who disregard and disobey Him will perish. Jesus Christ is the only way. Follow and obey Him only, to have eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus is LORD OBEY HIM or PERISH

Jesus Christ is LORD. He is the FINAL AUTHORITY. Those who DISOBEY Him will PERISH. His words, as they are also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. Those who disobey Him will not have life, they will PERISH in ETERNAL DAMNATION.  
Many profess to be Christians but they disobey Jesus, they will PERISH. What Jesus requires of us is OBEDIENCE. If we do not SERVE Jesus as LORD and OBEY Him, then we disregard Him and He will reject us.
Do you SERVE Jesus and LORD or will you PERISH?
May Jesus bless you.

Personal Performance

Your PERSONAL PERFORMANCE will determine where you spend eternity. If we love Jesus then we must OBEY Him. We must PERFORM in accordance with His words, that is the STANDARD, the words that Jesus spoke as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

If we OBEY Him, REPENT, turn away from sin and going after our own selfish desires and GO AFTER JESUS, be BAPTIZED IN WATER, then HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO US and He will GUIDE US BY His SPIRIT. We must follow that guidance and PERFECTLY OBEY HIM.

Not very many people will COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. They once asked Jesus whether those who are BEING SAVED ARE FEW and He said:”Strive HARD to enter the STRAIGHT GATE because I tell you MANY WILL TRY HARD AND NOT BE ABLE.

It is all dependent on your PERFORMANCE. How are you performing in accordance with the words of Jesus? Jesus said:”If you love Me OBEY MY COMMANDS. DO what I say.” Are you PERFORMING? Are you OBEYING His commands? Are you DOING what He s SAYING every day? Do you deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus EVERY DAY? Are you performing well enough to win the prize of eternal life? It is all about PERSONAL PERFORMANCE.

May Jesus bless you.
