WW ARE SAVED, WE ARE BEING SAVED. AND WE WILL BE SAVED.

 We all need a refresher course, a reminder of what God's word speaks to us about our salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord.

For those that are young in the Lord, you need this lesson so that you will not get confused as to whether you are saved by grace through faith or not.

When reading your bible, you will see places that say you are being saved, you are saved and you will be saved.

Romans 10:8-10

But what does it say?  "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (That is the word of faith which we preach); that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;  it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Beloved, when someone gives a gift to  you  receive it, thank them for it. 

Jesus gave us the gift of salvation when He took our place on the cross and paid for all our sin. He gave us the gift of salvation.

But our soul, our mind, our self- will and emotions, the deepest part pf our being, needs saving. 

Romans 8:12-14

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.  For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the  Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

True we have been given a new spirit, and old things are passed away and all things are becoming new.

It is the things in our life, that are becoming new.  Being transformed into the image of Christ our Lord.

How we think,  how we react to situations, do we ask ourselves, what would Jesus do?

While in the world we picked up ideas and habits, that are contrary to our God and the Holy Spirit that you received when you repented of your old life, and entered your new life of faith in Jesus.

So beloved, our soul needs to be saved. How we think, and that of our being self-centered, all needs to change. Needs to be transformed.

This only happens by being discipled and learning about the God you have agreed to follow.  Study God's word!

Jesus was a perfect reflection of His Father God, and He revealed to us how we are to treat each other and love each other and extend grace to each other when we fail. 

The need to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ is a daily process.

Romans 12:2

And do  not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We renew our mind by living and applying God's word to our life.

It is a wonderful journey to follow Jesus.

Committing your day to the Lord and doing what His word says to do.  Obedience, and confession are important. 

James 4:7

Therefore submit to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double -minded.

Romans 8:7

Because the carnal ( natural  mind is enmity against God); for it is not subject to God, nor indeed can be.

When we are double minded, we cannot  see truth. Our perception is off.

We can not have the mind of the worlds ways and God's mixed together.  

Because when we fail, or are weak in an area of our walk, our conscience will condemn us. 

Confess and moved forward. Allow the Holy Spirit to do His work.

It is so good to confess to one another our faults and be healed. This takes humility.

We are already forgiven, (1John 2:1-3) but we do need to acknowledge our sin (missing the mark) trespasses or faults.

James 5:16

Confess your faults or trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

That will give us a clear conscience  and the enemy cannot use that against us.  Putting shame and guilt and sickness on us.

By the stripes of Jesus we are healed.

Beloved, we will be saved from the wrath of God coming on the earth. 

We will return to the earth with our Lord. So we know He will deliver us from the great wrath the world will experience.

Colossians 3:4

When Christ who is our life appears, then you will also appear with Him in glory.

1Corinthians 15:51-53

Behold, I tell you a mystery;  We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.  For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.

For the corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Yes, beloved, we are saved, and we are being saved, and we will be saved.

What a glorious time that will be, when our Jesus we will see.


God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
