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.

Living by the SPIRIT

What can be known about God is known to all people because God Himself has revealed it to them and in them. We all know right from wrong because God has written His laws in our hearts. Nobody will have any excuse. Nobody will be able to say that they did not know. The Holy Spirit convicts the whole world of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT. The laws of God are written in our conscience. We are immediately convicted if we even think wrong, so nobody will have any excuse.

The apostle Paul also wrote in Romans 8:12  "we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."

Jesus Christ said:"My sheep LISTEN to My VOICE and they FOLLOW Me." The Holy Spirit speaks to all men. The Holy Spirit convicts all men of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT, but very few LISTEN. If we LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and we live  by the guidance of the Holy Spirit we will not sin, but if we go after the lusts of our flesh and our carnal desires, then we must PERISH. If we yearn for and go after the guidance of the Holy Spirit and we obey Him, He will reveal Jesus Christ to us. We will get to KNOW Him. If we seek Him, we will find Him. If we seek TRUTH, the Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus Christ to us and He will give His SPIRIT in those who OBEY Him. Those who do not have the Spirit of Christ do not belong to Him.

Most believers do not want the Holy Spirit. They don't want the Spirit of Christ. They just want salvation. They don't want Jesus Christ and therefor they will perish. They do not LISTEN to the Holy Spirit. They live by their own opinion and their carnal minds. They listen to other people and they follow after their desires. They do not live by the SPIRIT, they live by the FLESH and therefor they will perish if they do not REPENT.

If we LISTEN tot the SPIRIT of God who speaks to each and every one of us and if we obey Him, we will LIVE but if we ignore Him we will perish.

May Jesus bless you.

Righteous men do NOT SIN The Unrighteous Will PERISH

Many people will end up in hell because they believed satan's lies. One of those lies  that is commonly believed nowadays is that Jesus Christ was the only man that could walk this earth without sinning. That is not true. there were many righteous men throughout the ages. There were people like Enoch, Abraham, Lot, Noah, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego, Samuel, the prophets, and all those who believed in Jesus Christ and who followed Him, those who repented and who became saints, children of God, who followed Jesus Christ.

The unrighteous will PERISH. Let us read Ezekiel 14:12

"Then the word of the LORD came to me saying, 13“Son of man, if a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast, 14even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves,” declares the Lord GOD. 15“If I were to cause wild beasts to pass through the land and they depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the beasts, 16though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the country would be desolate. 17“Or if I should bring a sword on that country and say, ‘Let the sword pass through the country and cut off man and beast from it,’ 18even though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be delivered. 19“Or if I should send a plague against that country and pour out My wrath in blood on it to cut off man and beast from it, 20even though Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “they could not deliver either their son or their daughter. They would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”

GOD NEVER CHANGED. The unrighteous will not come into His presence. He will CUT THEM OFF, they will PERISH.

We read the words of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:9

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."

If we do not TURN we will BURN. If we do not turn away from unrighteousness and obey Jesus Christ and live righteousness we will not enter His kingdom.

The apostle John wrote in  1 John 3:4

"Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother."

We were all sinners and we come short of the glory of God. we all had a bad start. But it doesn't matter how you started. What really matters is how you end up. Are we going to finish as sinners the day that we die, or are we going to TURN, turn from our wicked ways and follow Jesus Christ, stop sinning, obey Jesus, be born again of the Spirit of God, follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, live righteousness and be pleasing to God?

The choice is ours. Not all men are unrighteous. Not all men are sinners. Those who have made a decision to LIVE, they TURN and they follow Jesus Christ until the very end, because the unrighteous will perish.

Are you a sinner or are you a righteous person? Are you following Jesus Christ until the end?

May Jesus bless you.

Real Christians do not involve themselves with Politics

Real Christians do not get involved with politics. they are not of the kingdoms of this world, neither of the political parties. They are of the kingdom of God. We are here to build the kingdom of God and to execute His will. Jesus taught us to pray:"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done..." If we go and vote and exercise our own will, our own choice at the polls then we are not seeking the will of God, we are seeking our own opinion and our own will.

It is God Himself who appoints rulers and who takes them away. We have to build the kingdom of God, bring people into obedience to Jesus Christ.

If Jesus Christ reigns in our heart we become part of His kingdom and He determines our life. We are here to build the kingdom of God, not the kingdoms of this world. The kingdoms of this world will all pass away. There is only one Kingdom that will last for ever .

No man can serve two masters. Which kingdom are you part of? Are you part of the kingdoms of this world or are you part of the kingdom of God? Whom do you serve? Jesus Christ, or the kingdoms of this world that will perish? Where is your treasure? In heaven or here on earth?

May Jesus bless you.

Why most Christian believers are LOST

Many people call themselves Christians and they confess to believe in Jesus Christ but very few of those believers ever FOLLOW Jesus Christ. Very few of those OBEY Jesus Christ. Very few REPENT, STOP SINNING, are BAPTIZED IN WATER and receive the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.  Even fewer of those FOLLOW the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are NOT children of God.

The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 "those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."  We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many people study the Bible but studying the Bible is one thing, knowledge is one thing, but to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit is quite another thing.

If we have not received the Holy Spirit and we are not guided by the Holy Spirit, we are not children of God. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ , the Holy Spirit, then we do not belong to Him. If we do not OBEY Him we do not love Him . If we do not follow Him we will not enter His kingdom. And that is what most believers neglect to do. They have been deceived into believing that if they just believe in the Name of Jesus they will have salvation. That is a LIE! We have to FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ under guidance of the Holy Spirit, stay with Him and endure until the very end or else we will not enter the kingdom of God.

Most believers are deceived, they never follow Jesus Christ. They just become religious.

Are we following Jesus Christ? Do we KNOW the VOICE of Jesus Christ? Do we trust Him enough to follow Him and to do what He tells us to do  without even referring to the Bible or asking the opinions of other believers? Are we truly following Jesus Christ? Or are we like most believers just deceiving ourselves?

May Jesus bless you.

Easy Salvation Options - Every church has it's own

Every church and denomination preaches their own option, their own way to salvation. That is why there are so many churches, big churches, small churches, popular churches, mega-churches, they all have different teachings but they all believe that their road leads to heaven.

There is only ONE WAY, and that is Jesus Christ. There is only one Door through which we will enter into heaven and that is the Man, God, Jesus Christ. Every knee will bow before Him. Every tongue will confess that He is Lord. Also those who despised Him and denied Him. They will confess in the end that He is LORD. In the end they will confess with great regret that Jesus Christ is LORD. We will all stand before Jesus. The only way that we will enter into the kingdom of Heaven and have salvation is if we OBEYED Him, is if we followed His way. His way is very clear, it is the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, His WORDS as recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those words are very clear. Those who disobey Jesus Christ will perish.

Most Christians disobey Jesus. They belong to some brand of Christianity, they follow some OPTION of salvation as preached by their church of choice, according to THEIR interpretation of the Bible, according to their LIKING. What really matters is: Did we OBEY Jesus Christ? Because He will say to most professing Christians: "Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." They are ALL sinners. They say they cannot stop sinning. They use Bible verses to prove that they cannot stop sinning. They don't love the truth, they love their sin, and they love LIES, and that is why Jesus will turn them away.

There are no different options. There are not different ways. There are no different teachings that will lead to eternal life. There is only ONE WAY, and that is Jesus Christ. There is only ONE TEACHING and that is His teachings, that which He commanded. Those who disobey Jesus will PERISH. Those who obey Him will get to KNOW Him and He will give them His Holy Spirit in them to guide them and teach them and they will truly know Him and follow Him. They will become part of His kingdom, right here and now on this earth, but those who reject Him will be for ever LOST.

Are you following some teaching or your own opinion, your own insight into the Bible,? Or have you submitted yourself to Jesus Christ? Have you come to KNOW Him? Do you OBEY and FOLLOW Him, or will you be eternally, disillusioned, disappointed and regretful because you did not seek nor follow the truth? You rejected Jesus Christ!

Are you following Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

From the Heart

The gospel that is being preached in churches today is utter garbage. Churches preach a FORMULA to avoid hell and spend eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ. All of that is an utter LIE. Salvation is not about a formula. It is not about just believing in Jesus Christ and the story of the baby Jesus and how He was crucified for mankind and now if we believe in Jesus, we can have eternal life. That is a LIE.

The truth is that Jesus Christ is the manifestation of God Himself in the flesh and if we do not accept Him and obey His teachings, if we do not turn from sin and follow Jesus Christ, obey Him, if we do not truly love Him then we will not have eternal life. If we do not come to KNOW Jesus Christ for real and serve Him from the heart then we hope in vain, then the gospel that we have believed in will disappoint us because it is an utter LIE.

The truth is that if we obey the words of Jesus Christ, that  He Himself delivered, the gospel of Christ, if we believe those words and obey them, repent, turn away from sin, seek Jesus with all our heart, be baptized in water, as He commanded, if we purify ourselves and open our hearts to Jesus, He will reveal Himself to us as REAL. We will get to know Him and He promised His Spirit, the Holy Spirit to come and dwell with us, Christ IN us, to guide us and to teach us and to give us wisdom and understanding, to reveal Himself to us and in us and through us, but if we do not love and serve Jesus Christ from the heart, seriously , with all that is in us, then we will not have eternal life!. If we do not have Jesus now then we will not have Him the day that we die. We will be LOST for eternity. We cannot fool Jesus, we cannot get to heaven by following some formula, a few steps, a recipe, one two three, that is a LIE from satan. We need to KNOW Jesus Christ the Living God for REAL and SERVE Him from our heart, every day. if you do not LOVE Him and if you do not SERVE Him He will say to you:"Go away, I never knew you" like He will say to most church people, believers who think they were Christians. They never knew Him and He will say to them:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." We have to REPENT, turn away from our own ways and follow Jesus and LOVE Him more than life, then we will have eternal life, and if you don't love Jesus from the heart you are only fooling yourself, and then you hope in vain.

Get serious about Jesus Christ, seek Him with all your heart and all your power and follow Him, obey Him, love Him and DO what He commands you to do. Get serious with Jesus from the heart or perish.

May Jesus bless you.

Being a Christian Is Not Just Religion

Being a Christian is not just taking on religion, living according to a new rule book. It is a new way of living, it is companionship with Jesus Christ, constantly being aware of Him, asking His guidance and His wisdom, following His advice, living in a way that is pleasing to Him, seeking His approval all the time and He will speak to you in your spirit. It is not about walking around with  Bible, quoting Bible verse, it is about walking with Jesus Christ in your heart, living to please Him, in everything considering Him, asking Him, His guidance, His approval. If you follow Jesus you do not seek the acceptance of men and you do not ask for their opinion because you are following the Master. You hear from Him and you do what He tells you to do. You do not consult with other people. You consult with Jesus and you follow Him every day of your life until the very end. Most believers do not know Jesus. The are not following Him. They are just religious.

Are we really following Jesus Christ or have we just got a form of godliness without Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ is the WAY, He is the TRUTH He is the LIFE. If we are not in companionship, fellowship with Him, then we will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. We have to follow Him every day until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

What is the Spirit SAYING?

God is SPIRIT and those who wish to worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in TRUTH. He is the father of all spirits and He speaks to us, in our spirit. The Holy Spirit of God convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment and He calls us unto Him. He calls us to repentance to become obedient children who follow and who obey Him, so that we can spend eternity with Him. But the Spirit of God will not strive with man for ever. He will not keep on pleading with man for ever. There will come a day when our time is up .

The day that we die it is over. It is destined for man to die once and thereafter to face judgment. The Spirit of God is speaking to you and me. He speaks to us every day. Are we listening? What is the Spirit saying to us today? If we do not open the door and invite Him in, if we do not obey Him there will come a day when He will say to us:"When I knocked you would not open. When I called you would not answer. Now the door is closed for eternity." Do not wait too long. Open the door, invite Jesus in. Listen and obey Him and your soul will live.

What is the Spirit of God saying to you and me today? Are we listening?

May Jesus bless you.
