Christians In Name Only

Most people are Christians in Name only. They are not following nor living for Jesus. They are not born again, they are just religious and fooling themselves, comparing themselves with themselves and with other fake Christians.

I was also like that but many years ago the Holy Spirit convicted me and opened my eyes to my foolishness. I decided to live for Jesus and to obey Him and immediately I changed. I was in corporate business, in a senior management position, doing very well for myself and the business, but I changed. Very soon I was called in by my boss and he asked me what was wrong with me, I was not the fun guy any more. I was working harder than ever but I did not participate in

the parties, bribes  and customer entertainment any more.  I was told that I had changed too much and my boss demanded that I immediately resign and leave the company premises.

We were faithful, active church members, but  I did not fit in with the church any more. I recognized all the falseness and worldliness in the church and when I started talking about it the pastor asked me to leave the church.

If you really follow Jesus and live to please Him, you do not fit in with the world any more. Friends leave you and closest family reject you. You become parsona non grata, unwanted and unacceptable. If you fit into the kingdom of heaven, you fit out of this world.

Not many people followed Jesus. He chose twelve disciples and one of them betrayed Him, with a kiss. To follow Jesus is a lonely road. You will be rejected, persecuted and hated by the sinners, epecially by the false Christians and the religious hypocrites. What they did to Jesus, they will do to you also, if you truly follow Jesus.

If you obey Jesus, repent and be baptized in water, live holy and righteously, He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you every step of the way, but you have to stay with Him.

You will be tested and you will be tried. Only those who overcome, stay  faithful to Jesus and  endure with Him until the end,  will be saved.

Are you a true follower of Jesus or are you  a Christian in name only?

May Jesus bless you.

Spiritual Maturity

Spiritual maturity leads to utter dependence and reliance on Jesus Christ, knowing that without Him we can do nothing.

Without Jesus we are nothing.

Spiritual maturity brings a desire to do the will of God, to hear from Him, to be lead by the Holy Spirit in all things so that we can live  a life that is pleasing to Him and that brings glory and honor to Jesus.

Spiritual maturity results in total submission to Jesus, yielding to Him so that He can have His way with us to achieve His will.



Are we spiritually mature?



May Jesus bless you.

Keep Yourself Clean Pure and Holy

Many Christian believers are living in
sin and unholiness. They are religious, they go to church, they know
the Bible, and they think they are saved, but they have no communion
with Jesus Christ, because they are living in sin. We have to keep
ourselves pure and holy in order to be in communion with Jesus. Jesus
has no communion with sinning believers. Our body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and if we defile our bodies, if we
allow ourselves to be soiled and dirty, filled with sin immorality,
then the Holy Spirit will leave us, we will not have any relationship
with Jesus.

We have to live pure and holy and then
Jesus will come and dwell in us, but if we do not obey Jesus, and we
do not live according to His Commandments, in holiness and
righteousness, in obedience to him then He will not dwell in us we
will not have any communion with Him we will not have the hope of
salvation.

We read the words of Jesus in John
chapter 14 verse 21, He said:"He who has my Commandments and
keeps them is the one who loves Me, and he who loves me will be loved
by My Father, and I will love Him, and I will disclose myself to
Him." Jesus is saying that if we obey His commandments then He
will love, us and He will come and dwell with us and He will disclose
Himself to us. He will speak to us. His Spirit will dwell in us. In
verse 23 we read Jesus said:"If anyone loves Me he will keep my
word, and My Father will love him and We will come to him and make
our abode with him."

Jesus will come and live with you and
me, if we love him and we obey Him, and we keep His words, but we
must keep ourselves pure and holy, because our body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and He does not dwell with
impurity and with sin. If we allow ourselves to be soiled the Holy
Spirit will leave us.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1st
Corinthians 6 verse 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, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards nor
revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were
some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of
our God." We were all sinners, but if we have a come to Jesus we
are not sinners anymore, then we have turned away from sin and we
keep ourselves holy for Jesus Christ, for His Holy Spirit to dwell
in.

In verse 15 Paul says:"Do you not
know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away
the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it
never be! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a
prostitute is one body with her, for He says the two shall become one
flesh, but the one who joins himself to the Lord is one Spirit with
Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside
of the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you
not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
Whom you have from God and you are not your own, for you have been
bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."

Many Christian believers live in
adultery and fornication. Many are homosexual. They live in morality.
Their minds are defiled through the media, video games, TV, movies,
pornography and bad company, worldly friends. They have become
conditioned to evil, watching soap opera, and participating and
worldly entertainment. They are of the world. They are not pure, they
are not holy and they cannot be in communion with Jesus, they have no
hope of salvation. Merely believing in Jesus cannot save us. We must
repent, stop sinning, be holy, turn to Jesus, be baptized in water
for the washing off of sin, and then keep yourself clean, be a temple
of the Holy Spirit, in which He can dwell. If you allow yourself to
be defiled again, then the Holy Spirit will leave you.

If you once knew Jesus, if you once
followed Jesus and you backslid, you went away from Jesus, then
repent and cleanse yourself, get rid of your sin get, rid of your bad
friends. Purify yourself of your cleanliness, your immorality. Make
yourself a pure vessel, clean and acceptable unto Jesus, or else you
will never be in communion with Him.

Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those
who seek Him, who obey Him and who live holy. Most professing
Christians have no relationship with Jesus. They have no communion
with Jesus. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they listen to
Me and they follow Me." Very few Christians know the voice of
Jesus. Very few follow Him. It is because they're living in sin. It
is because they are not holy and receptive vessels, they are not
pure. They do not reserve themselves unto Jesus Christ and therefor
they are not fit for the kingdom of heaven.
We have to purify
ourselves of all uncleanliness, all immorality, all sin, all
worldliness, and put our focus on Jesus; be a suitable vessel for the
Holy Spirit to dwell in, and then He will speak to us. He will guide
us. He will teach us. We will be in communion with Him, but if we
allow sin to come in, if we give the devil a foothold, then the Holy
Spirit of Christ will leave us. He will go silent on us, because we
choose evil, and through our choice of wrong and of evil we reject
Jesus Christ and we stray from Him, we stop following Him and go on
the wrong path.

Many have never followed Jesus. They
have never been in that close relationship with Him. They believe
they are saved but they are on the broad road to destruction. There's
only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow and obey
Jesus Christ, reserve yourself unto Him, seek Him always in prayer
and He will reveal Himself to you. Stay with Jesus until the very end
and you will be saved, but if you are not holy you will not see Him.
Without holiness no man shall see God. Without holiness no man will
enter the kingdom of God. Without holiness nobody will have any
relationship with Jesus Christ. Keep yourself clean and walk with
Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

The Long Road Ahead – Health Update

Yesterday I saw the surgeon that operated on me when I was diagnosed with rectal cancer and he told me something that I did not want to hear. He said:”You have a long road ahead of you.” I was hoping for better news since I had undergone chemo and radiation that was completed a month ago. He told me that the damage in my rectum was the most severe that he has seen in all his years of practice. He scheduled me for an MRI, to better determine the extent of the damage and is planning extensive surgery four weeks from now. We were hoping for a ileostomy reversal but indications are that it is not possible.

It has been a difficult painful experience since I became ill more than a year ago and the medical prognosis of my situation is not favorable. However, our hope is in Jesus, I belong to Him and He determines my life. I died twice in December 2017, while I was in the intensive care unit of the hospital for a month, after I had complications. Very few people believed that I would survive, but I did, all because of Jesus, He brought me back and kept me alive.

We are all one breath away from eternity. We might die today and then eternity awaits us. We must always be ready. We do not know how long the road ahead of us is. What is important is that we follow Jesus all the way, until the end or else we will spend eternity away from Jesus in damnation. We have to bear fruit for the kingdom of God and bring glory to Jesus, or else we will get cut off and burned. Jesus warned that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned, unfruitful believers will end up in damnation.

Many Christians wrongly believe that if they believe in Jesus they have a ticket to heaven. They think they can sit back and celebrate their salvation. Nothing can be further from the truth. ++

+

+We have to follow Jesus, live in obedience to Him and endure with Him until the end, through all circumstances. To follow Jesus is not easy. The road that Jesus guides us onto is not for the faint hearted and unbelieving. We will face many trials and tribulations and only those who stay with Jesus until the end, will win the prize of eternal life. Without Jesus, we can do nothing. Jesus warned, He said:”Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 17:13,14.

It is when we go trough trials, tribulation, pain and suffering, that we learn to trust in Jesus. It is in those times that our faith is tested, and if we endure we learn to overcome. It is in those times and through those circumstances that our character is built and we are transformed into the likeness of  Jesus. We read in Hebrews 10:36 ”For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

37FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,

HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

38BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;

AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.”

We do not know how long the road ahead is, but we need to endure with Jesus until the end, to win the  prize of eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Knowing Jesus

Nothing is as important as knowing Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the
life. There is no other way to have eternal life but to follow and
obey Jesus Christ, and we have to know Him in order to follow Him. He
has to know us in order for us to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
warned that He will say to many people on the day that they die:"Go
away, I never knew you."

Nothing is more important for us than
to know Jesus Christ and to know Him intimately, and for Him to know
us. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 3 verse 7-11:"
But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as a
loss for the sake of Christ. More than that. I count all things to be
loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them
rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not
having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law but that which
is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on
the basis of faith. That I may know Him and the power of His
resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to
His death, in order that I might attain to the resurrection from the
death." That is the desire of Paul, as he expressed it

in his letter to the Philippians, to
know Jesus Christ. If we know Jesus Christ, then we obey Him. He
justifies those who obey His words, who live in close communion and
close obedience to Him. His sheep hear His voice, they listen to Him
and they follow Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in those who obey Him.
He comes and dwells in them and He guides them step-by-step, because
they know Him. They follow Him because they love Him and they remain
in Him, they stay in obedience to Jesus, so that they can bear fruit
for His kingdom.

There is nothing as important as
knowing Jesus Christ. We might know about Jesus from the testimony of
other people, we can study the Bible. We can read the words of Jesus
in the gospels and we can know about Him, but we only get to know Him
if we obey Him, if we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words, if
we obey what He commanded; repent and be baptized. Turn away from
sin, turn to Jesus. Seek Him with all our heart, then he will come
and dwell in us, and He will guide us. He will teach us. He will
always be with us, but we have to stay with Him. We have to know Him
for real.

Knowing the Bible, obeying the law, the
law of Moses (Torah), that will not save us, it is the righteousness
that comes from obeying Jesus Christ and walking with Him daily. Paul
was a righteous man according to the Law. He was a Pharisee,
blameless according to the Law of Moses but He realized that that
could not save him. He realized that he had to live in total
commitment and obedience to Jesus Christ, and therefore he called
himself a bond servant of Christ. He voluntarily served Jesus Christ.
He gave up everything, even his life, to follow Jesus Christ. We
might know the Bible. We might know the words of Jesus, we might know
spiritual people or children of God, but if we do not know Jesus, and
if we do not follow Him, then we are heading for destruction.

Nothing is more important for us, than
to know Jesus Christ and to be known by Him. If we seek Him with all
our heart, we will find Him. He will reveal Himself to us. If we seek
His guidance, He will guide us, because He cares for us, but if we
keep on shunning Him, pushing Him away, ignoring Him, then we will
not enter His kingdom. We have to walk with Jesus day by day. Our
relationship with Him must be real. Nothing can be more important
than knowing Jesus, following Him, being with Him, listening to Him
and and going with Him every step of the way until the very end.
Nobody else can do it for us. We have to work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling, because if we are away from Jesus, we have a
reason to fear.

Just believing in Jesus will not save
us. We have to know Him and obey Him, be pleasing to Him, and He has
to approve of us. Do we truly know Jesus? Do we follow Him and obey
Him every day. There is no other way to have eternal life. We have no
hope if we do not have Jesus. We have to follow Jesus and stay with
Him until the very end.

Do you know Jesus and does He know you?
Will He invite you into His kingdom or will He show you away on the
day that you die? Seek Jesus today and every day until the very end.
Stay with Him, or else you have no hope for eternity, only a certain
expectation of damnation. Seek Jesus and follow Him until the very
end.

May Jesus bless you.

Too busy with other things

Most Christian believers are too busy

with other things. They are too busy to have any time to listen to
Jesus and to follow Him. Many of them believe that their faith will
save them. They believe that merely believing in Jesus Christ for
salvation is sufficient. That is not enough. We have to know Jesus.
We have to listen to His voice and follow Him. We have to get to know
Him for real. If we seek Jesus we will find Him, if we draw closer to
Him He draws closer to us. If we obey His words, His commands, the
words that He spoke, as also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, if we obey those words; if we repent turn away from
sin, from our own wicked ways and we go after Jesus, if we sanctify
ourselves, live holy, be baptized in water, and live to please Jesus,
sin no more, but seek to do His will, have our mind on Him, then He
will put His Spirit in us. He will put His mind in us. He will speak
to us.

His sheep hear His voice, they listen
to Him and they follow Him, but we have to draw closer to Jesus. We
have to go after Him. We have to seek Him and we have to follow Him.
If we do not seek Him we will not find Him. If we do not stay with
Him we will go astray and we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. He
will guide us, if we seek Him. He guides His sheep. He teaches them.
The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth, but we have to put our
mind on Jesus, live to please Him and then He will fill us with His
mind. He will speak to us, but if we go our own way and we do our own
things and we ignore Jesus, then we will not hear Him speaking to us.
We will not be able to follow Him. However, if we seek Him and we are
led by His Spirit, and we are doing what He wants us to do, then we
will hear Him speaking to us and guiding us, at any time, while we
are doing His will, because He will guide us step by step. We must be
focused on Jesus, seeking to do His will, always praying in our mind,
and let the Spirit of God permeate us, cultivate us, and guide us,
into his ways, and into His truth so that we can be pleasing to Him.

If we do not have that desire for Jesus
and for His kingdom, and we do not seek Him, we will not enter His
kingdom. We have to go after Jesus. If we are too busy with other
things, then we are not worthy of Jesus and His kingdom. Are we
seeking Him diligently every day? Are we drawing closer and closer to
Him every day, following Him, seeking His will and seeking His
approval. Seek Jesus and you will live. Jesus Christ is the only way.

May Jesus bless you.

Superficial Christians

Christianity is about being followers

of Jesus Christ. Jesus' disciples followed Him and they brought
others to Him so that they could also follow Him, because Jesus
Christ is the way and the truth and the life. Jesus Christ is the
only One who can give eternal life and Jesus commanded His disciples
to make disciples of all nations, people that would know Him and
follow Him, just like His own disciples did.

We all know that Jesus Christ was
crucified, and then after He was resurrected, and he ascended to
heaven, but He did not leave His disciples to fend for themselves. He
sent the Holy Spirit, His Spirit to be with them, and to guide them
and to teach them, and He also promised the Holy Spirit, the
Comforter to all those who would believe in Him; who would obey His
words, His gospel and who would repent and be baptized. Jesus
promised His Holy Spirit in them so that they could also become His
sheep. His sheep hear His voice, they listen and they follow Him.
That is what it means to be a Christian, you are a follower of Jesus
Christ. Not only because you believe in Jesus and you believe in His
teachings, but because you obey Him, you obey His words, you've come
to know Him, and He's given His Spirit in you, so that Christ lives
in you, you are a Christian, you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

Most professing Christians do not know
Jesus Christ. Their relationship with Him is not real. They are just
religious. Some are more religious than others. Some conduct
religious practices, they do Bible studies, and they do religious
practices like fasting,but they have no relationship with Jesus
Christ. Some Christians believe that through fasting you can force
God to answer you, to come closer to you. The purpose of fasting as
not to twist the arm of God, not to force God to give you what you
want, the purpose of fasting is to set yourself aside to spend some
time in prayer, to spend some time seeking Jesus, to deprive yourself
of your normal pleasures, not to go about your normal life, the
things you normally do, but to consecrate yourself, you separate
yourself unto the Lord and spend some time in prayer dedicating
yourself to the Lord.

Our relationship with Jesus Christ is
what makes us a Christian. If we do not have a real relationship with
Jesus Christ then our faith is in vain. If we do not have His Holy
Spirit and we do not follow Him, if we do not listen to Him, if we do
not obey Him, then our faith is in vain, we're wasting our time,
because Jesus will say to many believers:"Go away I never knew
you." They never had that real relationship with Jesus. Being a
Christian, is knowing Jesus Christ for real, hearing His voice,
seeking Him, going after in Him, going after Him and seeking to
please Him, to be part of His kingdom and to have His approval. Most
Christians are just superficial, just on the surface and the people
might think that they are great Christians, they have a lot of Bible
knowledge, and they profess to have many revelations from God, they
understand the prophecies, and they make predictions about the
future, but they have no relationship with Jesus. They have no
testimony of Jesus Christ.

If you are a real Christian, a follower
of Jesus then your life is all about your relationship with Jesus.
That is all that matters, nothing else, because if Jesus is not
pleased with us then we are in big trouble. If we do not seek Him and
if we do not find Him and if we do not stay with Him, we are on the
wrong road, because Jesus is the way. We have to follow Him every day
until the very end, even if we are all on our own, everybody leaves
us. Even if everybody goes the other direction and Jesus sends us
another direction, then we go with Jesus, because we know Him. He
speaks to His followers. He guides and teaches them, they follow Him.

Some people will tell you different.
They will say that God spoke through the Bible, it's all in the
Bible. It's not. It is all about the Holy Spirit of Christ that He
gives in and with those who love Him who follow Him and obey Him.
It's all about your relationship with Jesus Christ. Nobody else can
work on it for you. You have to work on your own relationship with
Jesus. There is no easy recipe. Nowadays people have computers, and
they have cell phones, and they have apps for everything. There is no
app for a relationship with Jesus Christ. You just go on your knees
and you seek Him with all your heart, and you keep on seeking Him and
you show Him that you are serious, and Jesus will reveal Himself to
you. There is only one way to be a true follower of Jesus, a child of
God, and that is to be led by the Holy Spirit, to walk with God, to
walk with Jesus every day. Are you walking with Jesus? How's your
relationship with Jesus? Do you know Him? Do you follow Him and do
you obey Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Did Jesus Really Say So?

'

God speaks and those with ears hear.

Jesus said: "My sheep hear My voice, they listen to Me and they
follow Me." Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they
are the children of God. God does speak and those who are tuned in,
those who are following Jesus, they hear His voice and listen to Him
and they obey Him.

Many people claim that Jesus told them
something or that God spoke to them. How can we know whether that
person is speaking the truth? Do we just accept his word, that Jesus
did speak to him, that God told him something, or do we find out for
ourselves whether that is the truth? The only way to find out whether
it is the truth is to ask Jesus Himself, to say" "Lord,
that person says that You spoke to him. Is that the truth?"
Jesus will confirm it to you if it is the truth, but we cannot trust
in other people.

We cannot go by what other people say,
because then we are following after men. Jesus speaks to each and
every child, to each and everyone who follows Him. If we need wisdom
and we need guidance we must ask of Jesus. Pray, wait on Him, expect
an answer, and He will answer you in His way and in His time. If we
follow after people and we live by their word, by their revelations,
then we are not following Jesus Christ anymore. But if Jesus confirms
that He said something to another person then we are walking my
confirmation of Jesus. Always and make sure with Jesus, follow Jesus.
Do not follow men.

May Jesus bless you.

The Word Of God Is Not Cheap

Man shall not live from bread alone but
from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. A child of God
must hear from God. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice they
listen to Me, and they follow Me." Many believers do not hear
the voice of God, so they are spiritually dead. They claim to have
the Word of God because they have a Bible but they do not hear from
God, so they do not have the Word of God.

We can only have the Word of God if God
speaks to us, if we are in communion with Him, if we hear from Him.
Many people say that the Bible is the Word of God. It is not the Word
of God, it is the Scriptures. The Bible cannot guide you every day,
the Bible cannot teach you in the ways of the Lord. The Holy Spirit
was sent to guide us into all truth, and those who are led by the
Spirit of God they are the children of God. They hear from God. They
get a word from God and they live by that word, because man shall not
live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God. You cannot follow Jesus if you do not hear from Him.
Then you are separated from Him and that is why He will say to many
people on the day that they die:"Go away I never knew you,"
because they never heard from Him, they never listened to Him. They
never followed Him. They did not have the Word of God, they were
spiritually dead, they were not alive.

We need to hear from God, every day. We
need to be led by the Holy Spirit. We need to be in Christ, doing
His will, to be able to bear fruit for His kingdom. We cannot be part
of the body of Christ if we do not have a word from God, if we do not
hear his voice and we do not follow and obey Him. Many people say
that they do not hear from God. They've asked Jesus to speak to them,
but He does not speak. It is because He is not cheap. Many people
think that they can just command God to speak to them, they can
say:"Lord speak to me," but they're not willing to obey
Him. Tey are not willing to pay the price of discipleship they're not
willing to obey the words of Jesus. They are not willing to repent of
their sins and of their selfish lifestyle. Their life is all about
themselves . They're not willing to give up, they're not willing to
deny themselves and follow Jesus Christ, and that is why they do not
receive a word from God. They are spiritually dead. They're not
connected to God and they will perish. Man shall not live from bread
alone but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You
need to hear from Jesus, you need to follow and obey Him. You will
live from every word that proceeds from His mouth if you listen to
Him and you obey Him.

Are we children of God? Are we led by
the Spirit of God? Do we hear from God or are we spiritually dead?
Are we living from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God,
because He is our Father and we are His children, or are we just
fooling ourselves? Do we believe that we are saved, that we are
Christians and that we have the Word of God because we have a Bible?
Having a Bible does not mean having the Word of God. You need Jesus
Christ. You need His Holy Spirit in you, to guide you. You need to
pay the price, you need to obey Jesus. Repent, turn away from your
sin, turn away from going your own ways. Follow and obey Jesus; be
baptized in water, seek the infilling and indwelling of His Holy
Spirit, then you will hear the voice of God speaking to you. You have
to go after Jesus and seek Him with all your heart to be able to hear
the Word of God. You must follow Jesus, go after Him until the very
end.

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Never Changes

Jesus Christ never changed and He will
never change. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Jesus Christ died for sin and He does not tolerate sin. He forgives
the sin of those who accept Him and who repent, turn away from their
sin, and who follow and obey Him, but those who turn back to their
sin and their evil ways, will perish.

There's only one way to have eternal
life and that is to follow and obey Jesus Christ, to obey His words,
His gospel, His words that He delivered, His rules for entering into
the kingdom of heaven, the words that He spoke as they are also
recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent and be
baptized. Stop sinning. Live holy. Without holiness no man shall see
God. The unrighteous will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Churches
have created many doctrines and people think that they can carry on
sinning, they only need to believe in Jesus for salvation. That's a
lie. If we believe in Jesus we must obey Him, obey His words. We must
get to know Him for real.

Jesus promised that if we repent and
are baptized in water, if we turn away from our evil ways and we obey
His words, we seek Him with all our heart, He will come and dwell in
and with us. We will be in relationship with Him, in communion with
Him. He will guide and teach us and we were know Him for real.

Many will stand before Jesus on the
day that they die and He will say to them:"Go away I never knew
you,you workers of wickedness." Many of them will be Christians
who thought that they were saved, but they never turned from their
wicked ways they never turned from going after their own desires, and
they never went after Jesus. They never followed Jesus, they never
knew Him. There's only one way to enter the kingdom of heaven and
that is to follow and obey Jesus Christ, to know Him for real. The
world has changed, people have changed, churches have changed, they
have gone away from Jesus, but Jesus never changed. We have to turn
to Jesus and follow Him, His way to enter His kingdom because Jesus
never changes.

May Jesus bless you.
