By nature every person is born in sin through the sinful seed of their natural fathers and conditioned therein ( 1 Peter 1:23). For that reason and in order to become a son of God, which are born of God, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, a person must be 'Born Again' ( John 1:12,13; 3:3-7; 1 John 3:9; 5:4).
By attending a man-made institution a few hours a week ( Acts 7:48; 17:24), does not mean that a person can make a claim that they are followers of Christ and 'Born Again'. That is falsehood, as in truth they follow after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; Rev. 12:9). This is how Satan has transformed Himself into an angel of light ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15).
Only through 'True Repentance' will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).
The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).
You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
Hello again Eric. I would ask for your forgiveness if what I wrote seemed impersonal by just throwing Bible verses out to you. My intent was only to share what I know to be true, as I love you as a brother even though I don't know you. When I first saw your post, I couldn't help thinking that you were searching for something and I truly want you to find the peace that only Jesus can give.
Eric, your name (unless it is a pseudonym) indicates that you converted to Islam. I may be wrong, but I mention that, so I could know your position, the country you hail from & more importantly what questions specifically you would like answers to, so I can properly answer. Pauline has given you some very special portions of Scripture reminding you & me of God's great love for all of us, no matter our religion & stage in life, & also of God's Gift of Salvation through the sending of Jesus Christ. However, since I have had some Muslim friends in the past when in Pakistan, & done studies in Islam, your questions become very important to me, so that I know how I should answer you. So, please detail your questions.
ERIC: For God so loved the World...that's everybody. Everyone has the same opportunity to draw close to God who created all we see and know. Set aside your religion for a time and explore who God says He is.
The Bible is spiritually discerned for everybody; whether Jew, Gentile, Greek, Palestinian, or middle eastern descent. It will be hard to understand until you ask God the Father to help you read it. Start in the gospel of John, chapter 3 verses 1 to 8. That's where Jesus tells you that you must be born again to understand the spiritual. Verse 3
This is how we all started. You can't sit on a fence between Muslim and Christian. I will only say that Eternal Life with the God of the universe comes through Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15: 1-5/ Romans 10: 9-10
Matthew 10: 32-33
What kind of person would I be to lie and not tell the truth? I had to walk this road too. I'm telling you this is the way. Joy unspeakable.
For God so loved the world (this means you) that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
But God demonstrates his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried and that he rose again on the third day according to the scriptures and that he was seen of Cephas then of the the twelve and after that about five hundred brethern at once. For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. John 3:1-8 tells the story of Nicodemus where Jesus tells us we must be "born again".
I pray that you find the way, the truth and the life !!
All of the above allows those that see, to see The LIGHT of JEHOVAH, GOD. Ohoooo what a LIGHT it is as GOD fulfill all above!! Rejoice all ye trusting in John 3:16-21 because the battle is won and the celebration at THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB has been made ready for all who obeyed John 3:16-21. Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Israel shall no longer be hidden and seen as forsaken but as the sought out people of the most high. All his wealth will be returned and the gentiles will see his glory. All Praises to the Most High!!🤗🤗
God will fight for HIS own. To make us sought out and no more forsaken. In order for this to happen, we need to call out HIS name and not hold our peace till we inherit the promise.
Old jerusalem is not the city of God, As jesus tells her that her house is left unto her desolate,thou that killest the prophets etc,Paul says she is like hagar and is in bondage with her children,Cast out the bond woman and her son,but Jerusalem from above ( NEW JERUSLAEM which is the free woman,) TH BRIDE she is the city of God. you are come unto mount zion the city of the living God th N.J. ETC
Jere 3 v 17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the Throne of God.Meaning the kingdom of God and all nations shall be gathered unto it Only way all nations cd be gathered unto it is if it were within us. As Jesus said the kingdom of God shall be within you which is N. J. the kingdom of GOD.Paul tells us that O. J. is like Hagar and is in bondage with her children, CAST OUT THE BOND WOMAN .ETC
NEW JERUSALEM HAS REPLACED OLD JERUSALEM, HEBREWS 12 you are come unto mount Zion the CITY of the LIVING GOD, THAT HEAVENLY JERUSALEM,TO A HUGH HOST OF ANGELS ETC. NOW NEW JERUSALEM is the kingdom of God ( the city of the living God ) Now the kingdom of God is gonna be with in us simply b/c our king is gonna be with in us
Which is a zillion times greater then old jerusalem which is in bondage.
Today, December 6, 2017, President Donald Trump of the US announced the movement of the Embassy of the US from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The prophecy of Isaiah is getting fulfilled. Great is the Lord.
This scripture is about God 's lost sheep being redeemed from captivity ( Deuteronomy 28:68) and how he will make them known amongst the Gentiles nations once again. Refer to Jeremiah 33:23-26 to see how his Holy people were despised and not recognized as being his people in today's world.
Isa. 62; I may be wrong about this; I know it's prophecy; v. 1 mentions the Gentiles, v.2 says 'they' (Jews) shall be called by a new name (Jesus, Lk. 1:31); later the Gentiles will be br'ot in - 'married' to the sons (Jews) in His salvation. This makes sense to me, but I may be wa-a-y off ..... ?.
I Find this Beautiful and it Fills me with Happiness.I am a Gentile Who Waits For Our Lord to Come for HIS PEOPLE and for The Gentiles Who Wait With Awe and HAPPINESS.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Therefore, God requires of us to always trust in Him and be fully persuaded / convinced of His faithfulness and His ability to bring his promises to performance or manifestation. Let's have faith in him.
This scripture Isaiah 62 verse 7. Brought to life again the hope that i have in God and that the promises he has given to me through the years will come to pass, but i also need to remain focused,faithful and continuously reminding God .that i am believing him to fulfill these promises.
