One man said: " in the righteousness of Jesus then we always appear perfect before God."
Now listen to what our God Jesus says to you:
21 �Not everyone who says to Me, �Lord, Lord,� shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, �Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?� 23 And then I will declare to them, �I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!� Matth.7
God Jesus said that no one of unrighteous people will see the Kingdom of God!
He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.� Revelation 21:7-8
Sexually immoral�..
God Jesus died on the cross to give you FREEDOM from your sins. Abandon your sins! And you will be FREE! Get out of your slavery to be a FREE man and to set people FREE! The TRUTH- Jesus- gives you forgiveness of your sins. But if you will continue to live in your sins, then you will even die in your sins. God Jesus commands you: �� unless you repent you will all likewise perish.� Die for your sins to live eternally in God�s presence!
So, to HAVE eternal life we need:
(1) Believe in the Son of God.
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5
(2) To be baptized in water, abandoning our sins and promissing God our good conscience, as a symbol and act of repentance.
(3) We need to live a GODLY/HOLY life KEEPING i.e. IMPLEMENTING commands of God and LOVING people in action...in DEED.
13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, BE HOLY yourselves also in all your behavior;
16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." 1 Peter 1
This is what you call "Christianity". This is the way to the Kingdom of God. That should be your REGENERATION to be a SON of God BORN of God.
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
Are you BORN of God or of devil?
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 1 John 3
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us (CHRISTIANS), that we should be called children of God!
We are CHILDREN of God!
Return to God you- backsliding CHILDREN of God! Repent and God will RESTORE you!
Why do Christians still get drunk,smoke dope,cigarettes/cigars,be mean, gossip, gamble,sell sex,sleep around? They're not really Christians!
*** Yup!...I agree...I've met many that profess that they are "Christian" and their way of life is anything but...Like doing something that is sinful or deceitful and talking about it as though it is OK to do so...When I ask them...and I do...if they are comfortable with it...If they can lay their head down at night and be comfortable with what they did...They cant and wont look at me or answer the question...they just make some comment directed away from my question sometimes ...its just a question and they run from it as if no one will notice...I really have no problem with some one lieing to me...however when a person lies to them self...I am concerned for them for as Jesus said while hanging on the cross...Father Forgive them...they know not what they do...Thank YOU Jesus for your Truth about us...and for Your selfless Sacrafice...paying the price for our sins...a price we can never...EVER...Pay...Thank you for Teaching us your Truth...Thank you for this day and everyday that you grant us...Amen!...AMEN!!!... x <>< O
