ENDURE

THANK YOU FATHER.
LORD I pray for men to want you more than anything else.
I pray that men seek Your salvation more than money, fame and recognition.
That goals be centered and focused on pleasing You Father.

What it means to endure to the end.

What does the Word say?

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is LORD, " and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

THE WORD SAYS THAT ANYONE WHO PUTS THEIR TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME.

If you have read any of my writing for any amount of time you have never read anything that I have ever written that said after you confess Christ now it's okay for you to go out and live in sin.

Study Hebrews chapter 10 in it's complete context. It teaches that the willful sin is to rely on self after the knowledge of the truth has been given.
The truth is that Christ Jesus is the fulfilling of the law that no man could fulfill.

The law was given not for men to fulfill but for men to have the knowledge that sin was in the world.
Romans 5:13
Unless the law was given no man could have been held accountable for sin because he had no knowledge of it. But now after the knowledge is given man becomes accountable.

Accountable did not put man in a position to save himself.
We know that whatever the law says it is speaking to those who have chosen to remain under it and be justified by it.
None is righteous and the law was given to show us that.

The priests can't say, " I am righteous because I do this devoutly."

The philanthropist can't say, " I am righteous because I give this annually."

The missionary can't say, "I am righteous because I go to China, Africa and Russia."

The auto worker can't say, "I am righteous because I go to church 3 times a week and give a tenth of all that I have."

The librarian can't say, " I am righteous because I am soft spoken and I help people, I have never harmed anyone."
No man can say that because he is a good person and many people like and support him, he is righteous.

The law was given to shut the mouth of men in this world and to keep everyone from believing in the work of their own hands.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall be no flesh justified in God's sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:19,20

Don't let the heading that the printer chose define the context for you, read the text and cross reference it with the other teachings on God's Grace and Promise of salvation In Christ.

In order to awake to righteousness and sin no more there are things that you first have to know.
I have witnessed how people have misunderstood what this means on both sides.

How now men believe that it's okay to continue to do drugs and preach at the same time because they have a misunderstanding of grace.

When you really understand grace it is not a ticket to sin but a release from it.
It's not okay to lie and steal and run missions at the same time.

It's not okay to be whisperers, talebearers, backbiters, slanderers and gossips while calling your self a prophet or a saint.

How men speak with foul mouths and hatred in their hearts while wearing a cross around their necks, not knowing the Word of God.

These are men who speak to frighten others into submission.
There are ignorant men who want to put fear in people and the LORD told us to have no fear but to be comforted because He had overcome the devil, the world, the sin in it and all of it's tactics.

There are ignorant men in this earth who do not know Jesus and they twist His words.

You will not endure in fear but in reverence and total assurance of the security that you have In Christ through the promise of God.
Study Romans chapter 5 along side the Words of our LORD and Saviour in John chapter3.

Walk in the light.
Trusting in Jesus until the end is enduring.
You have to know God and His Word.

LOVE Y'ALL :)
