Thank You Father.
The Lord Jesus while praying to The Father said,
Those that You have given me I have kept, and none of them are lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
It is a given that the devil is guilty and will be cast into the lake of fire.
It is written and is settled in heaven.
Just like the saved man or woman's salvation is written and settled forever in heaven through Christ.
No man has to follow the devil if he knows the truth.
The greatest lie is that religious and non religious men have believed that God is made in their image and that The Father is to operate as they do instead of the opposite.
Understand that it is God's desire that all men be saved, this however doesn't mean that all men will saved.
It was predetermined that God would make a way for all men to be saved not that every man would receive that way.
My prayer is that you receive Christ and follow Him.
Don't live the rest of your days trying to achieve salvation in your flesh.
It's through the blood and flesh of Christ that we can go boldly to the throne of Grace.
Salvation is a free gift from God that must be received and when you do, you can draw near to God in total, complete, undeniable assurance of faith, having your heart cleansed of a guilty conscience and your body washed with pure water.
The law and legalistic, legislative thinking has no enduring power.
Sin needs a lasting solution.
Moses sprinkled the blood of bulls and goats because without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.
This had to be done annually so even under the law men didn't all day, every day run to the alter with a clean sacrifice, they waited and went up once a year.
It was not good enough.
But God has sprinkled the blood of His Son Jesus Christ once and for all; and it is recorded that this man Jesus Christ, The Great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God;
Jesus Christ is not being crucified and dying every day, the flesh of man in Christ is.
It's The blood of Jesus according to Hebrews chapter 9 that makes Him our mediator and our advocate.
The case has been settled.
It's recorded that I have a defense who sits there at the right hand of God.
The LORD Jesus sits in expectation waiting the day when His enemies will be made His footstool.
For by one offering not a daily offering, not a weekly offering, not a monthly offering but by one offering because it was satisfactory, He, The Christ has perfected forever them that are set apart In Him.
Where sins are forgiven there is no longer any sacrifice needed for sins.
My brothers and sisters,
Repentance is not simply acknowledging your wrong, because you can realize that you are wrong, feel guilty about it and never change or come to God.
Men who preach an altered legalistic gospel may turn others to an experience, but they are turning them to an experience that isn't adequate when they teach that The Christ is not sufficient.
They are following something but it isn't The Saviour of the scriptures.
Yet they are surprised when young people fall from the limited grace that the experience provides.
Many come to God based in fear of punishment instead of the knowledge of His grace which is the only thing that produces genuine faith.
Real faith will never stem from fear, that is why Jesus came and removed all doubt and fear with what He did and has done.
You can be a church member and not abide in The Vine.
Men have limited, misunderstood and twisted repentance to mean what they want to project.
Still with the mindset that God is made in their image and likeness instead of the other way around.
Repentance comes when you have heard the truth that develops faith In Christ Jesus and what He has done, not what you have done, this in turn causes you to draw near to a living God.
Condemnation hinders repentance.
The Word teaches us that Jesus didn't come to condemn man but save man.
John 3:16-17
Because this is true let us In Christ continue to draw near to The Father with a stable, sound, solid, unwavering heart of confidence that the blood of Christ has done what God said it would do.
It has cleansed the heart of all guilt.
In Christ you have been redeemed and you are not guilty.
If you believe that you are some wretch you will behave wretched.
Change the way you think and you will change the way you act, that's repentance.
The people who despise this truth are the people who will be looking with fear, because they have trodden under foot the blood of the living God.
What the LORD by His Spirit is saying to you today is this,
Don't throw away your confidence, don't draw back from the blood of Jesus.
If you have not come to know Jesus, confess your sin to Him and receive His free gift of salvation.
It's when you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD that you are saved.
Whosoever shall call on the name of The LORD shall be saved, delivered, set free, born again.
Learn about Jesus, get immersed in His Word and know that you are saved.
Hebrews chapter's 9 and 10
John 17
Think on this.
This is how you go from wayside to good stable ground, when your tree is planted firmly by the living waters, then your root will never die, your leaves with never wither, and you will produce eternal fruit.
Abide in The Vine.
The question won't be whether or not you are genuine in the eyes of other men, The question will be when Christ returns, WILL HE KNOW YOU?
LOVE Y'ALL :)
Every knee will bow and every toungue shall confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, those that bow their knee and confess that Christ is LORD after He returns won't do so because they were forced by angels pinning their arms behind their backs, many won't believe and confess because they heard the gospel and faith brought the confession, it will be the sheer glory of God that will be made manifest to all men and that glory will leave men with no other alternative but to know that He is GOD. Those who say that He is GOD because they see His glory are not the blessed ones, blessed are those who have not seen Him but believe.
