What does it mean that Jesus took the sins of the world too the cross? What impact has this upon you and me? And, what does it mean that He became flesh, that He came in the form of a man, and dwelt among us?
If you can come to grips with these truths, you will only begin to touch the surface of the goodness that flows from the veins of a savior like this one who is alive and has never died!
This Jesus we worship has become what we could never achieve, nor be part of a kingdom that thrives even now!
If you are not part of this kingdom, than you cannot see the things that belong to those who love Him! You , perhaps hiding avoiding the heat of the day!
A heavenly kingdom complete already and waiting for you!
Some of us, who where hired long ago, these will be the last, the last for a good reason! These who have excepted Him , doing His will until the end. These are the ones who have the strength, enduring from the beginning knowing the wages will be the same. These wages we earn because of what He has already done, we too becoming as He Is!
These are the wages that can only come from above! Soon the lines will form for payment, where will you be? Will you be watching and waiting? Waiting to see how His servants react, as payment begins?
The Holy Spirit is waiting for you. You must receive Him as He calls you into His vineyard, Don't be left waiting and watching, soon the times of restitution will begin, and the lines will be gone forever! Repent and be Baptized
Levi-no one is taken up-we are all changed-at the last trump - 1 year ago
1 Corinthians 15:51 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
If we wish to separate those "would be" believers who desire to go to heaven but have no compulsion to serve God from those who already are His bondservants and just would be continuing what they started to practice here on earth we can evaluate their love for God and obedience to obey His commandments ( John 14:15). There are many shallow; foolhardy and at times downright blasphemous concepts of "love" today which permeate much of Christendom; particularly in the "music industry". The concept of obedience because of love seems a foreign concept today; especially in our nation. How many social issues could be deflected if that were the case of more children in their family upbringing for their parents today? Surely; there is more to His love than us being bondservants; as He calls us "friends." ( John 15:15 in the very next verse!) To serve to the length of our own hurt is surely seen in Christ's ministry; not the least of which of course was the crucifixion and all the sufferings beforehand. We often neglect the extent of the rest of His public ministry; where He wasn't even able to mourn the death of John the Baptist; despite making a deliberate attempt at retreat to be alone in a desert place with His chosen few. ( Matthew 14:13). While the Son of Man came to serve and not be served ( Mark 10:45) while on earth; He is certainly worthy to serve and exalt for all eternity for what He did for us. For Him to lift Himself up is not sinful like with the rest of His Creation.
True; there are "pleasures for evermore at His right hand" ( Psalm 16:11). This has to be balanced with the rest of our reverent service toward Him. The shallow; sentimental emotional "love" is at best a tepid version of the Spirit; at worst just a hyped up emotional mindset which is of the world; or comes from occult persuasion. Our emotions; mind; and soul must be incorporated into worship of God ( Mark 12:30).
Why is the book of Ecclesiastes in the King James bible have only 12 chapters and The king James Standard version has 51 chapters please explain this situation thanks .
one of the bigger laws of physic is that energy can not be created or destroyed, So where did it come from? It had to always existed. Can you imagine there being nothing, not even energy. I can't. So I have to accept that it all started, with energy. So what is GOD if not energy and obviously that energy must be good; and energy can create matter; and in the beginning, God created Heaven and earth and his spirit, his energy, moved upon the face of the earth; and He created man and man became a Living soul, living energy; and He talked with Adam; but Adam sinned and took the power to tell right from wrong, Adam's mind; and so we are living soul with a mind. Now a search on the internet confuses and speculated how the the soul and mind are the same; but it is not according to me and I think the Bible if you tke it in sequence.
Levi - What does Jesus say about Biases - 1 year ago
Mark 12:14 - 17 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
Is the body of Christ more than the church? How does the body look to you ? Does it have an outline, can you see it? If you are seeing an outline ,than you are beginning to see the big picture. A picture of the risen Son of God, who is sanctifying us, redeeming us continuously, In and through His resurrection that fills all things!
The baptism we received, teaches us that we must die, being raised again into new life! This is the beginning of a new life even as a seed planted, it must die that it may bring forth life!
We are all born for a purpose. Living a life, working and raising children, these are the blessings that we see. Loving one another according to His will, having dominion over the earth, being fruitful and multiplying! Honoring our Parents!
If you believe these things, then you are well on your way to seeing the big picture! A picture that none of us could ever imagine.
Recently at a bible study a comment was made that sin is sin and they are all equal. But if God calls some sin "abominations" does that not mean that some sin s carry more weight than others?
What happens to the original name of The Most High GOD?IS There a Good Reason For This?What Can It Do?And What happened To The Books of Enoch, Jasher And Jubilees?
Where is the bible does it specifically talk about the end of time? Like about the false prophet.. my dad is a pastor and I was wanting to know more about whats to come in the future.
Can someone explain Hebrews 10:26-27. Reading it makes me question if you can't be forgiven for past sin, while we are told that if we confess our sins we will be forgiven. I'm a tad confused.
Lord, I pray that you will guide my words for a fit answer.
I've thought about this quite a bit being the oldest of 10. I was raised with the idea Santa is real. Well, I learn that santa is not real. I do however learn the 10 commandments.
The second commandment really speaks to me about holiday celebrations. We are instructed to not make any graven image unto the lord. Nothing from the heavens, the earth, or from below in the sea.
Exodus 20:4-6
4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments."
Celebrating a false idol such as Santa, is a violation of the second commandment.
However, if we are to celebrate the glory of God, and Jesus Christ. Then I agree with Christmas. There is also nothing wrong with spending time to with family and friends. As long as it will bring glory to our Lord. Also, to make memories and celebrate life and love with your family which was designed by God is a Glory unto our lord.
My final Conclusion on how you should live.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
