Bible Study - Waste of Time?

The Bible is a wonderful
set of scriptures. It leads us to salvation, eternal life, through
obedience to Jesus Christ, IF we do what the Bible tells us to do.
But many people just study the Bible, and they think that by studying
the Bible they will have eternal life. If we do not intend doing what
the Bible tells us to do, then Bible study is a waste of time.

This is what Jesus said to
the Pharisees, the Bible students of the time. He said:"You
diligently searched the scriptures, in there to find eternal life,
but you refuse to come to me to have life." Eternal life is
through faith and obedience to Jesus Christ, the gospel of Jesus
Christ His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we
do not follow and obey Jesus Christ, then we will not have salvation.
You can believe in Jesus for salvation, but if you do not obey Him,
you will perish. Many believers think that studying the Bible and
quoting Bible verses can assure them salvation. Salvation is in the
Person, Jesus Christ, knowing and following Him. If you are not
studying the Bible to learn the words of Jesus so that you can know
His ways and His commandments, and obey Him, then you're wasting your
time, because it is only through our relationship and obedience to
Jesus Christ that we will have eternal life. Jesus said that if we
obey His commands, His words, He will reveal Himself to us. We will
get to know Him for real. He will give His Spirit in us to teach and
guide us. We will become born again, we will be His sheep, who hear
His voice and who follow Him. We will not seek to know the Scriptures
better, we will seek to hear from Jesus. His sheep hear His voice and
they follow Him. You can study the Bible all you wish, it will not
bring you salvation. You need to know Jesus and follow and obey Him,
stay with Him until the very end, or else He will say to you: "Go
away, I never knew you. Do you know Jesus Christ or do you just know
the Bible?

May Jesus bless you.

Making a Difference

God made us and put us in this world for a purpose. If we obey Jesus Christ we will make a difference. We will serve that purpose for which God called us. It is only if we are IN CHRIST, if we are doing His will that we are able to make that difference. But many people do not want to follow Jesus. They do not want to serve God's purpose. They want to serve themselves.

If we do not make a difference then our life was WASTED, then it was all in vain.

Are we serving that purpose for which God made us? Are we making a difference?

May Jesus bless you.

Don't waste your time with Jesus if you are not SERIOUS

If you are not DEAD SERIOUS about following Jesus Christ then you should not start following Him. Jesus said that we must COUNT THE COST before we decide to follow Him. It will cost you EVERYTHING if you follow Jesus. Jesus said that if we WISH to come after Him we must DENY ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him EVERY DAY.

If you follow Jesus Christ you will have to GIVE UP EVERYTHING. You WILL be rejected, you will be HATED, you will have to SACRIFICE, you might have to sacrifice your life to follow Jesus Christ. You will have to OBEY Him and live your life to please HIM, not yourself. You will have to give your UTMOST for Him because He gave His life for us.

If we are not willing to willing to FOLLOW and OBEY Him we are not worthy of Him. Jesus expects our UTMOST BEST. We cannot give Him the scraps or what is left over. Don't think that you can just fall on your knees before you go to bed and say a quick prayer. It is not acceptable to Him.  He does not want your scraps.

Do not give Jesus a LAME OFFERING. In the times of Moses when people had to bring an offering to the temple some of them took their lame sheep, or their sick animals - that is a lame offering. If you give to Jesus you have to give your BEST not your scraps. He wants the BEST of your TIME, the best of everything because He is WORTHY. He wants UTTER OBEDIENCE. It will cost you EVERYTHING  to follow Jesus Christ.

Many churches make it EASIER THAN IT IS. They say you must just BELIEVE IN JESUS,  that is a lie. Go and read the words of Jesus in the gospels and COUNT THE COST. Are you WILLING to give up everything to follow Jesus?



If you are not DEAD SERIOUS, He will not answer your prayers. Many people want to hear from Jesus but they are not willing to pray, they are not willing to WAIT ON HIM. They are not willing to LABOR in prayer, to WRESTLE with God in prayer. They will get NOTHING. If you are not willing to put EVERYTHING into your relationship with Jesus Christ you are WASTING YOUR TIME. He is WORTHY of our UTMOST and He will accept nothing but the BEST.

If you do not offer Him EVERYTHING and your very BEST it is not good enough and He will reject it, He will reject YOU. We have to give Him our UTMOST, EVERYTHING that we have, we have to offer Him or else we are not worthy of Him.

If you are not willing to give up everything for Jesus Christ, you are wasting your time, you WILL NOT enter the kingdom of Heaven. If you are not that serious then you cannot be His disciple and you are not worthy of Him. Follow Jesus with ALL your power or just don't bother because you are wasting your time.

May Jesus bless you.

Many trust Jesus IN VAIN

Many people trust in Jesus for salvation but they will be terribly disappointed because these people do not OBEY nor do they FOLLOW Jesus Christ. They base their TRUST in Jesus and their SECURITY OF SALVATION on some selected Bible verses but they neglect to read the words of Jesus and OBEY them, as they are written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

All the promises of God are CONDITIONAL. Salvation is conditional. It is not just a matter of trusting in Jesus, we have to FOLLOW and OBEY Him. Jesus said:”Why do you call Me Lord Lord and do not what I say?” He also said:”IF you love Me you will OBEY My words, you will keep My commands.” He also said that if we deny Him He will also certainly deny us. He also said that every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned, and we can only bear good fruit IF we stay IN Christ, if we FOLLOW and OBEY Him and if we are LED by the Holy Spirit. If we refuse to OBEY Jesus we will perish, then our trust and our hope in Him is in vain!

Many people will be terribly disappointed. Jesus said:”repent and be baptized in water.” Many people refuse to be baptized in water and they do not receive the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ because they are DISOBEDIENT, and because they do not OBEY Jesus. They do not go after Him. They do not seek Him and they do not seek His Spirit. They have been deceived to think that if they trust in Jesus for salvation, they will be saved. THEIR HOPE IS IN VAIN! They will stand before Jesus and He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Do you KNOW Jesus? Do you OBEY Him and FOLLOW Him every day? Are you led by the Holy Spirit or do you trust in Him IN VAIN? May Jesus bless you.

Useless Religion

Most professing Christians are practicing a useless, fruitless religion and in the end they will end up in hell. They are wasting their time!

Jesus Christ said: ( Mark 7:6-8) “And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."

The only way that we will have eternal life is if we OBEY Jesus Christ but very few professing Christians will quote Jesus Christ, they will say that “they say,” the pastor says, the Bible says, Paul says, Peter says... What really matters is WHAT JESUS SAYS and whether we are DOING what Jesus SAYS, what He tells us to do.

Jesus said: (John 14:23) "Anyone who loves me will OBEY MY TEACHING. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” The CONDITION is that we must OBEY the TEACHINGS of Jesus as they are also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Further Jesus says in John 14:21 “Whoever HAS MY COMMANDS and KEEPS THEM is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and SHOW MYSELF TO THEM." If we OBEY Jesus Christ, truly love Him, serve Him with all our power, all our heart, not just a show, not just religion but from the heart, then Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to us and we WILL GET TO KNOW HIM, Him and the Father will come and live WITH US, make their home with us, inside of us.

Jesus said: (John 14:15) “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.16“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.” Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him, who REPENT from their fruitless lifestyle of sin and self-gratification and OBEY Him, who live in holiness and righteousness, who REPENT and are BAPTIZED IN WATER in obedience to Jesus, He promises the Holy Spirit to them, the Holy Spirit that will guide them into all truth. He did not send us a Bible, He promised the Holy Spirit who will guide us.

We read in John 16:12-14 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14“He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.” 15“All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.“ Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit to those who truly love Him, who seek Him, who want to follow Him and they will be led by the Holy Spirit, who will TEACH THEM ALL THINGS. Jesus did not disclose everything that was to be disclosed and was to be known. He said to the disciples that they could not bear it, they could not handle it, they would not understand it and therefor He promised the Holy Spirit who would reveal these things to them and to us who truly love Him and who follow Him. Going to church and practicing religion will not get you into heaven. You have got yo OBEY Jesus, SEEK Him, REPENT, be BAPTIZED IN WATER IN WATER, FOLLOW Him, SEEK His Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.

It is not what others say, not what the pastor says, what Paul says, what Peter says, what the Bible says (the verses that you pick and choose) it is what the Holy Spirit says that matters. If you do not have the Holy Spirit and do not LISTEN to the Holy Spirit, FOLLOW HIM, then you are practicing a useless religion and you will end up in hell because you will not get to know Jesus Christ!

Are you LED by the Holy Spirit? Do you truly LOVE and FOLLOW Jesus Christ under guidance of His Spirit, or are you practicing a useless religion? May Jesus bless you.

Useless Fruitless Accumilation of Knowledge

The world has been brainwashed into accumulating fruitless knowledge that is never applied by those who accumulate the knowledge. People think that if they have education or qualifications that, that is the avenue to future prosperity and a good life.

That is a lie! The only ONE who gives LIFE, both here and in eternity is Jesus Christ, not the accumulation of KNOWLEDGE, be it secular knowledge or Bible knowledge. It is KNOWING Jesus, OBEYING and FOLLOWING Him that will give you EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED for LIFE both now and for eternity.

Jesus said:”Seek FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” If you OBEY and FOLLOW Jesus Christ, REPENT of your futile senseless lifestyle and turn from sin, turn from following your own mind and from being brainwashed by other people and you OBEY Jesus; REPENT, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER, SEEK Him for the Holy Spirit then He Himself by His SPIRIT will GUIDE you and will TEACH you TRUE KNOWLEDGE, will guide you and will give you REAL LIFE.

If you want LIFE all you need is Jesus. Jesus IS the way the life and the truth. SEEK Him, FOLLOW Him, TRUST Him and OBEY Him and you will have life, reject Him and seek knowledge and you will perish with your knowledge.

May Jesus bless you.
