His Mouth Speaketh

James 3:2,4-5

For In Many Things We Offend All. If Any Man Offend Not In Word, The Same Is A Perfect Man, And Able Also To Bridle The Whole Body.

[4] Behold Also The Ships, Which Though They Be So Great, And Are Driven Of Fierce Winds, Yet Are They Turned About With A Very Small Helm, Whithersoever The Governor Listeth. Even So, The Tongue Is A Little Member, And Boasteth Great Things. Behold, How Great A Matter A Little Fire Kindleth!

James 3: 6,9-13

And The Tongue Is A Fire, A World Of Iniquity: So Is The Tongue Among Our Members, That It Defileth The Whole Body, And Setteth On Fire The Course Of Nature; And It Is Set On Fire Of Hell.

[9] Therewith Bless We God, Even The Father; And Therewith Curse We Men, Which Are Made After The Similitude Of God. Out Of The Same Mouth Proceedeth Blessing And Cursing. My Brethren, These Things Ought Not So To Be. Doth A Fountain Send Forth At The Same Place Sweet Water And Bitter? Can The Fig Tree, My Brethren, Bear Olive Berries? Either A Vine, Figs? So Can No Fountain Both Yield Salt Water And Fresh. Who Is A Wise Man And Endued With Knowledge Among You? Let Him Shew Out Of A Good Conversation His Works With Meekness Of Wisdom.

Ephesians 4:29-32

Let No Corrupt Communication Proceed Out Of Your Mouth, But That Which Is Good To The Use Of Edifying, That It May Minister Grace Unto The Hearers. And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption. Let All Bitterness, And Wrath, And Anger, And Clamour, And Evil Speaking, Be Put Away From You, With All Malice: And Be Ye Kind One To Another, Tenderhearted, Forgiving One Another, Even As God For Christ's Sake Hath Forgiven You.

Ephesians 5:4,7-8,11-20

Neither Filthiness, Nor Foolish Talking, Nor Jesting, Which Are Not Convenient: But Rather Giving Of Thanks.

[7] Be Not Ye Therefore Partakers With Them. For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, But Now Are Ye Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light:

[11] And Have No Fellowship With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness, But Rather Reprove Them. For It Is A Shame Even To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret. But All Things That Are Reproved Are Made Manifest By The Light: For Whatsoever Doth Make Manifest Is Light. Wherefore He Saith, Awake Thou That Sleepest, And Arise From The Dead, And Christ Shall Give Thee Light. See Then That Ye Walk Circumspectly, Not As Fools, But As Wise, Redeeming The Time, Because The Days Are Evil. Wherefore Be Ye Not Unwise, But Understanding What The Will Of The Lord Is. And Be Not Drunk With Wine, Wherein Is Excess; But Be Filled With The Spirit; Speaking To Yourselves In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing And Making Melody In Your Heart To The Lord; Giving Thanks Always For All Things Unto God And The Father In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ;

Christians Who Joke And Laugh, Need To Be Very Careful, Because Our Mouths Say What Is In Our Hearts. Our Mouths Are To Offer Sacrifices Of Praise To God And Glorify Him, Not Satan. We Are To Think About Good Things And Speak Good Things. Paul Said That It Is A Shame To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret.

Jesus Said In, Luke 6:44-45

For Every Tree Is Known By His Own Fruit. For Of Thorns Men Do Not Gather Figs, Nor Of A Bramble Bush Gather They Grapes. A Good Man Out Of The Good Treasure Of His Heart Bringeth Forth That Which Is Good; And An Evil Man Out Of The Evil Treasure Of His Heart Bringeth Forth That Which Is Evil: For Of The Abundance Of The Heart His Mouth Speaketh.

Paul said in, Philippians 4:8

Finally, Brethren, Whatsoever Things Are True, Whatsoever Things Are Honest, Whatsoever Things Are Just, Whatsoever Things Are Pure, Whatsoever Things Are Lovely, Whatsoever Things Are Of Good Report; If There Be Any Virtue, And If There Be Any Praise, Think On These Things.

Paul said in, 1 Thessalonians 5:5

Ye Are All The Children Of Light, And The Children Of The Day: We Are Not Of The Night, Nor Of Darkness.

James 1:26

If Any Man Among You Seem To Be Religious, And Bridleth Not His Tongue, But Deceiveth His Own Heart, This Man's Religion Is Vain.

Hebrews 13:15

By Him Therefore Let Us Offer The Sacrifice Of Praise To God Continually, That Is, The Fruit Of Our Lips Giving Thanks To His Name.

STRENGTHEN

Luke 22:42-43

Saying, Father, If Thou Be Willing, Remove This Cup From Me: Nevertheless Not My Will, But Thine, Be Done. And There Appeared An Angel Unto Him From Heaven, Strengthening Him.

Luke 22:31-32

And The Lord Said, Simon, Simon, Behold, Satan Hath Desired To Have You, That He May Sift You As Wheat: But I Have Prayed For Thee, That Thy Faith Fail Not: And When Thou Art Converted, Strengthen Thy Brethren.

Matthew 4:10-11

Then Saith Jesus Unto Him, Get Thee Hence, Satan: For It Is Written, Thou Shalt Worship The Lord Thy God, And Him Only Shalt Thou Serve. Then The Devil Leaveth Him, And, Behold, Angels Came And Ministered Unto Him.

Hebrews 1:14

ARE THEY NOT ALL MINISTERING SPIRITS, SENT FORTH TO MINISTER FOR THEM WHO SHALL BE HEIRS OF SALVATION?

Ministering: To Attend To The Wants And Needs Of Others, An Agent For Another By Carrying Out Specified Orders And Functions.

The Lord Was Tempted And Tried Just Like We Are. Look How Jesus overcame Satan. When Jesus Christ Was Tempted He Quoted The Word Of God. And God Sent Angels To Strengthen Him. Our Weapons Against Satan Are The Word Of God, The Holy Spirit, And Ministering Angels. Faith In Christ Jesus Is Our Strength Read And Remember Philippians 4:13

I Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strengtheneth Me.

As We See In The Scriptures We All Need Strengthening And We Need To Strengthen Other Christians. It's Not A Sin To To Be Tried Or Tempted, No Matter What Others May Say. When We Are Tempted We Are Be Strengthened By God.

James 4:7

Submit Yourselves Therefore To God. Resist The Devil, And He Will Flee From You.

Below Are Just A Few Scriptures That Let Us Know That We Are Never Alone Or Will Never Be Forsaken By God.

Hebrews 13:5-6

Let Your Conversation Be Without Covetousness; And Be Content With Such Things As Ye Have: For He Hath Said, I Will Never Leave Thee, Nor Forsake Thee. So That We May Boldly Say, The Lord Is My Helper, And I Will Not Fear What Man Shall Do Unto Me.

Romans 8:31,35,37-39

What Shall We Then Say To These Things? If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us?

[35] Who Shall Separate Us From The Love Of Christ? Shall Tribulation, Or Distress, Or Persecution, Or Famine, Or Nakedness, Peril, Or Sword?

[37] Nay, In All These Things We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him That Loved Us. For I Am Persuaded, That Neither Death, Nor Life, Nor Angels, Nor Principalities, Nor Powers, Nor Things Present, Nor Things To Come, Nor Height, Nor Depth, Nor Any Other Creature, Shall Be Able To Separate Us From The Love Of God, Which Is In Christ Jesus Our Lord.

Harmless As Doves

2 Timothy 2:1-26,3:1-5

THOU THEREFORE, MY SON, BE STRONG IN THE GRACE THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS. And The Things That Thou Hast Heard Of Me Among Many Witnesses, The Same Commit Thou To Faithful Men, Who Shall Be Able To Teach Others Also. Thou Therefore Endure Hardness, As A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ. No Man That Warreth Entangleth Himself With The Affairs Of This Life; That He May Please Him Who Hath Chosen Him To Be A Soldier. And If A Man Also Strive For Masteries, Yet Is He Not Crowned, Except He Strive Lawfully. The Husbandman That Laboureth Must Be First Partaker Of The Fruits. Consider What I Say; And The Lord Give Thee Understanding In All Things. Remember That Jesus Christ Of The Seed Of David Was Raised From The Dead According To My Gospel: Wherein I Suffer Trouble, As An Evil Doer, Even Unto Bonds; But The Word Of God Is Not Bound. Therefore I Endure All Things For The Elect's Sakes, That They May Also Obtain The Salvation Which Is In Christ Jesus With Eternal Glory. It Is A Faithful Saying: For If We Be Dead With Him, We Shall Also Live With Him: If We Suffer, We Shall Also Reign With Him: If We Deny Him, He Also Will Deny Us: If We Believe Not, Yet He Abideth Faithful: He Cannot Deny Himself. Of These Things Put Them In Remembrance, Charging Them Before The Lord That They Strive Not About Words To No Profit, But To The Subverting Of The Hearers. Study To Shew Thyself Approved Unto God, A Workman That Needeth Not To Be Ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth. But Shun Profane And Vain Babblings: For They Will Increase Unto More Ungodliness. And Their Word Will Eat As Doth A Canker: Of Whom Is Hymenaeus And Philetus; Who Concerning The Truth Have Erred, Saying That The Resurrection Is Past Already; And Overthrow The Faith Of Some. Nevertheless, The Foundation Of God Standeth Sure, Having This Seal, The Lord Knoweth Them That Are His. And, Let Every One That Nameth The Name Of Christ Depart From Iniquity. But In A Great House There Are Not Only Vessels Of Gold And Of Silver, But Also Of Wood And Of Earth; And Some To Honour, And Some To Dishonour. If A Man Therefore Purge Himself From These, He Shall Be A Vessel Unto Honour, Sanctified, And Meet For The Master's Use, And Prepared Unto Every Good Work. Flee Also Youthful Lusts: But Follow Righteousness, Faith, Charity, Peace, With Them That Call On The Lord Out Of A Pure Heart. But Foolish And Unlearned Questions Avoid, Knowing That They Do Gender Strifes. And The Servant Of The Lord Must Not Strive; But Be Gentle Unto All Men, Apt To Teach, Patient, In Meekness Instructing Those That Oppose Themselves; If God Peradventure Will Give Them Repentance To The Acknowledging Of The Truth; And That They May Recover Themselves Out Of The Snare Of The Devil, Who Are Taken Captive By Him At His Will. This Know Also, That In The Last Days Perilous Times Shall Come. For Men Shall Be Lovers Of Their Own Selves, Covetous, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, Disobedient To Parents, Unthankful, Unholy, Without Natural Affection, Trucebreakers, False Accusers, Incontinent, Fierce, Despisers Of Those That Are Good, Traitors, Heady, Highminded, Lovers Of Pleasures More Than Lovers Of God; Having A Form Of Godliness, But Denying The Power Thereof: From Such Turn Away.

Many Christians are almost combative in their work for the Lord, believing they are being a "good soldier". But read what the Scripture says, "Thou Therefore ENDURE Hardness, As A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ."

We are to contend or maintain earnestly for the Faith, but not strive, struggle or fight vigorously.

Paul Said In, Titus 3:10

"A Man That Is An Heretick After The First And Second Admonition Reject." We are to let them go. But some Christians have just got to prove their point no matter what. They will almost come to blows with a nonbeliever, you are not showing the love of Christ Jesus to the person you are wanting to hit.

Jesus Christ said in,

Matthew 10:16

Behold, I Send You Forth As Sheep In The Midst Of Wolves: Be Ye Therefore Wise As Serpents, And Harmless As Doves.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT

1 Thessalonians 5:5

Ye Are All The Children Of Light, And The Children Of The Day: We Are Not Of The Night, Nor Of Darkness.

1 John 1:6-7

If We Say That We Have Fellowship With Him, And Walk In Darkness, We Lie, And Do Not The Truth: But If We Walk In The Light, As He Is In The Light, We Have Fellowship One With Another, And The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son Cleanseth Us From All Sin.

Colossians 1:12-14

Giving Thanks Unto The Father, Which Hath Made Us Meet To Be Partakers Of The Inheritance Of The Saints In Light: Who Hath Delivered Us From The Power Of Darkness, And Hath Translated Us Into The Kingdom Of His Dear Son: In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, Even The Forgiveness Of Sins:

Ephesians 5:11-20

And Have No Fellowship With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness, But Rather Reprove Them. For It Is A Shame Even To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret. But All Things That Are Reproved Are Made Manifest By The Light: For Whatsoever Doth Make Manifest Is Light. Wherefore He Saith, Awake Thou That Sleepest, And Arise From The Dead, And Christ Shall Give Thee Light. See Then That Ye Walk Circumspectly, Not As Fools, But As Wise, Redeeming The Time, Because The Days Are Evil. Wherefore Be Ye Not Unwise, But Understanding What The Will Of The Lord Is. And Be Not Drunk With Wine, Wherein Is Excess; But Be Filled With The Spirit; Speaking To Yourselves In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing And Making Melody In Your Heart To The Lord; Giving Thanks Always For All Things Unto God And The Father In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ;

Christians are supposed to be Christ- Like wherever we go and in whatever we do. When we come across people do we ask ourselves, do they need Jesus Christ? That should be the very first thing we think. Are we the examples that show them, Jesus Christ or do we show them the god of this world? Do we show others a real change or are we still behaving like the old self? When we are talking to the lost and dying world are you giving them hope, or are we acting like, or even worse than they are?

I know what I was before Salvation and I know who I am now. God is conforming us into the image of Jesus Christ and God still has a lot of work to do on me for sure, but I do desire Him to do His work. I fail so much because I do not yield to His Holy Spirit. When I find myself at crossroads, I need to stop to hear for guidance from His Holy Spirit and yield to Him. God can use us in the simplest of things to be His Light. Shine His Light and not darkness. The Bible tells us in, Ephesians 6:12-17

For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World, Against Spiritual Wickedness In High Places. Wherefore Take Unto You The Whole Armour Of God, That Ye May Be Able To Withstand In The Evil Day, And Having Done All, To Stand. Stand, Therefore, Having Your Loins Girt About With Truth, And Having On The Breastplate Of Righteousness; And Your Feet Shod With The Preparation Of The Gospel Of Peace; Above All, Taking The Shield Of Faith, Wherewith Ye Shall Be Able To Quench All The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked. And Take The Helmet Of Salvation, And The Sword Of The Spirit, Which Is The Word Of God:

HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS OF DARKNESS, BUT RATHER REPROVE THEM.

THE SPIRIT Of TRUTH WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.

1 Corinthians 2:2,4-14

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

[4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified The Lord Of Glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God Hath Revealed Them Unto Us By His Spirit: For The Spirit Searcheth All Things, Yea, The Deep Things Of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but The Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, But The Spirit Which Is Of God; That We Might Know The Things That Are Freely Given To Us Of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, But Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth; Comparing Spiritual Things With Spiritual. But the natural man receiveth, not the things of The Spirit Of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are Spiritually discerned.

I'm almost positive that you have heard people quote part of this Scripture,

I know that I have heard people quote it, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him", but they do not know the rest of The Word that God has given, "But God Hath Revealed Them Unto Us By His Spirit: For The Spirit Searcheth All Things, Yea, The Deep Things Of God". Christians do not understand the important part, "Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but The Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, But The Spirit Which Is Of God; That We Might Know The Things That Are Freely Given To Us Of God". This is why I keep saying, Read Your Bible. If you were to receive all of your understanding of The Word Of God from men, then you will be missing out on the knowledge given by The Holy Spirit "But Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth; Comparing Spiritual Things With Spiritual". Jesus Christ said in, "John 16:13-15

Howbeit When He, The Spirit Of Truth, Is Come, He Will Guide You Into All Truth: For He Shall Not Speak Of Himself; But Whatsoever He Shall Hear, That Shall He Speak: And He Will Shew You Things To Come. He Shall Glorify Me: For He Shall Receive Of Mine, And Shall Shew It Unto You. All Things That The Father Hath Are Mine: Therefore Said I, That He Shall Take Of Mine, And Shall Shew It Unto You." John said in, "1 John 2:20

But Ye Have An Unction From The Holy One, And Ye Know All Things." "1 John 2:27-29

But The Anointing Which Ye Have Received Of Him Abideth In You, And Ye Need Not That Any Man Teach You: But As The Same Anointing Teacheth You Of All Things, And Is Truth, And Is No Lie, And Even As It Hath Taught You, Ye Shall Abide In Him. And Now, Little Children, Abide In Him; That, When He Shall Appear, We May Have Confidence, And Not Be Ashamed Before Him At His Coming. If Ye Know That He Is Righteous, Ye Know That Every One That Doeth Righteousness Is Born Of Him."

I Give A Lot Of Scriptures Because The Word Of God Is Important, Not My Opinion.

READ YOUR BIBLE AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.

BELIEVE GOD!

YOU ARE BLESSED BECAUSE OF FAITH. HE BLESSES YOU BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE HIM!

James 2:23

And The Scripture Was Fulfilled Which Saith, Abraham Believed God, And It Was Imputed Unto Him For Righteousness: And He Was Called The Friend Of God.

Hebrews 11:6

But Without Faith It Is Impossible To Please Him: For He That Cometh To God Must Believe That He Is, And That He Is A Rewarder Of Them That Diligently Seek Him.

2 Peter 1:1-4

Simon Peter, A Servant And An Apostle Of Jesus Christ, To Them That Have Obtained Like Precious Faith With Us Through The Righteousness Of God And Our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord,

According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust.

Romans 8:23-35,37-39

And Not Only They, But Ourselves Also, Which Have The Firstfruits Of The Spirit, Even We Ourselves Groan Within Ourselves, Waiting For The Adoption, To Wit, The Redemption Of Our Body. For We Are Saved By Hope: But Hope That Is Seen Is Not Hope: For What A Man Seeth, Why Doth He Yet Hope For? But If We Hope For That We See Not, Then Do We With Patience Wait For It. Likewise, The Spirit Also Helpeth Our Infirmities: For We Know Not What We Should Pray For As We Ought: But The Spirit Itself Maketh Intercession For Us With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered. And He That Searcheth The Hearts Knoweth What Is The Mind Of The Spirit, Because He Maketh Intercession For The Saints According To The Will Of God. And We Know That All Things Work Together For Good To Them That Love God, To Them Who Are The Called According To His Purpose. For Whom He Did Foreknow, He Also Did Predestinate To Be Conformed To The Image Of His Son, That He Might Be The Firstborn Among Many Brethren. Moreover Whom He Did Predestinate, Them He Also Called: And Whom He Called, Them He Also Justified: And Whom He Justified, Them He Also Glorified. What Shall We Then Say To These Things? If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us? He That Spared Not His Own Son, But Delivered Him Up For Us All, How Shall He Not With Him Also Freely Give Us All Things? Who Shall Lay Any Thing To The Charge Of God's Elect? It Is God That Justifieth. Who Is He That Condemneth? It Is Christ That Died, Yea Rather, That Is Risen Again, Who Is Even At The Right Hand Of God, Who Also Maketh Intercession For Us. Who Shall Separate Us From The Love Of Christ? Shall Tribulation, Or Distress, Or Persecution, Or Famine, Or Nakedness, Or Peril, Or Sword?

Speak Evil Of No Man

Titus 3:1-11

Put Them In Mind To Be Subject To Principalities And Powers, To Obey Magistrates, To Be Ready To Every Good Work, To Speak Evil Of No Man, To Be No Brawlers, But Gentle, Shewing All Meekness Unto All Men. For We, Ourselves Also Were Sometimes Foolish, Disobedient, Deceived, Serving Divers Lusts And Pleasures, Living In Malice And Envy, Hateful, And Hating One Another. But After That The Kindness And Love Of God Our Saviour Toward Man Appeared, Not By Works Of Righteousness Which We Have Done, But According To His Mercy He Saved Us, By The Washing Of Regeneration, And Renewing Of The Holy Ghost; Which He Shed On Us Abundantly Through Jesus Christ Our Saviour; That Being Justified By His Grace, We Should Be Made Heirs According To The Hope Of Eternal Life. This Is A Faithful Saying, And These Things I Will That Thou Affirm Constantly, That They Which Have Believed In God Might Be Careful To Maintain Good Works. These Things Are Good And Profitable Unto Men. But Avoid Foolish Questions, And Genealogies, And Contentions, And Strivings About The Law; For They Are Unprofitable And Vain. A Man That Is An Heretick After The First And Second Admonition Reject; Knowing That He That Is Such Is Subverted, And Sinneth, Being Condemned Of Himself.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Know Ye Not That The Unrighteous Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God? Be Not Deceived: Neither Fornicators, Nor Idolaters, Nor Adulterers, Nor Effeminate, Nor Abusers Of Themselves With Mankind, Nor Thieves, Nor Covetous, Nor Drunkards, Nor Revilers, Nor Extortioners, Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God. And Such Were Some Of You: But Ye Are Washed, But Ye Are Sanctified, But Ye Are Justified In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, And By The Spirit Of Our God.

1 Peter 4:1-6

Forasmuch Then As Christ Hath Suffered For Us In The Flesh, Arm Yourselves Likewise With The Same Mind: For He That Hath Suffered In The Flesh Hath Ceased From Sin; That He No Longer Should Live The Rest Of His Time In The Flesh To The Lusts Of Men, But To The Will Of God. For The Time Past Of Our Life May Suffice Us To Have Wrought The Will Of The Gentiles, When We Walked In Lasciviousness, Lusts, Excess Of Wine, Revellings, Banquetings, And Abominable Idolatries: Wherein They Think It Strange That Ye Run Not With Them To The Same Excess Of Riot, Speaking Evil Of You: Who Shall Give Account To Him That Is Ready To Judge The Quick And The Dead. For, For This Cause Was The Gospel Preached Also To Them That Are Dead, That They Might Be Judged According To Men In The Flesh, But Live According To God In The Spirit.

Speak Evil Of No Man, because we were once just like them. They are acting like they are supposed to be acting. But, if you are still acting like them, then where is the change that Jesus Christ makes in your life? We are to be new creatures in Christ Jesus. We need to stop looking at people according to the flesh and start seeing them as Spiritual. For example, when we laugh at their ugly jokes with them, they see us acting like them. Show them, Jesus Christ, because one day we all are going to have to come before Jesus Christ. We may be saved, but are they? The lake of fire is a real place and we need to know their souls, not their jokes. Live a life that will show them, Jesus Christ. It is so easy to be caught up in all sorts of evil speaking, I know, I have done it myself, but let us stop it now before it is too late.

SPEAK EVIL OF NO MAN.

ONE

John 14:6,16-21,23-27

Jesus Saith Unto Him, I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life: No Man Cometh Unto The Father, But By Me.

[16] And I Will Pray The Father, And He Shall Give You Another Comforter, That He May Abide With You For Ever; Even The Spirit Of Truth; Whom The World Cannot Receive, Because It Seeth Him Not, Neither Knoweth Him: But Ye Know Him; For He Dwelleth With You, And Shall Be In You. I Will Not Leave You Comfortless: I Will Come To You. Yet A Little While, And The World Seeth Me No More; But Ye See Me: Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also. At That Day Ye Shall Know That I Am In My Father, And Ye In Me, And I In You. He That Hath My Commandments, And Keepeth Them, He It Is That Loveth Me: And He That Loveth Me Shall Be Loved Of My Father, And I Will Love Him, And Will Manifest Myself To Him.

[23] Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, If A Man Love Me, He Will Keep My Words: And My Father Will Love Him, And We Will Come Unto Him, And Make Our Abode With Him. He That Loveth Me Not Keepeth Not My Sayings: And The Word Which Ye Hear Is Not Mine, But The Father's Which Sent Me. These Things Have I Spoken Unto You, Being Yet Present With You. But The Comforter, Which Is The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father Will Send In My Name, He Shall Teach You All Things, And Bring All Things To Your Remembrance, Whatsoever I Have Said Unto You. Peace I Leave With You, My Peace I Give Unto You: Not As The World Giveth, Give I Unto You. Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled, Neither Let It Be Afraid.

John 15:10-14

If Ye Keep My Commandments, Ye Shall Abide In My Love; Even As I Have Kept My Father's Commandments, And Abide In His Love. These Things Have I Spoken Unto You, That My Joy Might Remain In You, And That Your Joy Might Be Full. THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. Greater Love Hath No Man Than This, That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends. Ye Are My Friends, If Ye Do Whatsoever I Command You.

1 John 4:13-15

HEREBY KNOW WE THAT WE DWELL IN HIM, AND HE IN US, BECAUSE HE HATH GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. And We Have Seen And Do Testify That The Father Sent The Son To Be The Saviour Of The World. Whosoever Shall Confess That Jesus Is The Son Of God, God Dwelleth In Him, And He In God.

Romans 8:9

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

Ephesians 4:4-6

THERE IS ONE BODY, AND ONE SPIRIT, EVEN AS YE ARE CALLED IN ONE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING; ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, WHO IS ABOVE ALL, AND THROUGH ALL, AND IN YOU ALL.

John 3:5-6

Jesus Answered, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Of Water And Of THE SPIRIT, He Cannot Enter Into The Kingdom Of God. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh, And THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

The Only True Question To Ask Yourself Is, Have You Been Born Again Of The Spirit? Are You Saved? If You Have, Then You Are Spirit. Don't Let Other Christians Confuse You, By Telling You Something They Have No Idea About.

ONE. THERE IS ONE BODY, AND ONE SPIRIT, EVEN AS YE ARE CALLED IN ONE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING; ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL

Do Not Let Others Teach You Differently. Some Christians Will Say There Is A Difference Between The Holy Ghost And The Holy Spirit, Because Of The Name He Is Called, But Jesus Christ Referred To Him As The Comforter, Jesus Also Used Both Names For Him, The Holy Ghost, And The Holy Spirit. Paul Referred To Him As The Spirit of Christ. Some Christians Will Also Tell You That You Have To Be Baptized In The Holy Ghost With The Evidence Of Speaking In Tongues. Some Quote This Like It Is A Scripture, But It Is Not. They Only Cause Division And Confusion.

The Bible Says, NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

When People Start Changing The Truth You Need To Know It.

Read Your Bible For Yourself.

For They Being Ignorant Of God's Righteousness, And Going About To Establish Their Own Righteousness, Have Not Submitted Themselves Unto The Righteousness Of God.

Now Where Remission Of These Is, There Is No More Offering For Sin. Having, Therefore, Brethren, Boldness To Enter Into The Holiest By The Blood Of Jesus, By A New And Living Way, Which He Hath Consecrated For Us, Through The Veil, That Is To Say, His Flesh;

And This Is The Law Of The Sacrifice Of Peace Offerings, Which He Shall Offer Unto The Lord.

Likewise, This Is The Law Of The Trespass Offering: It Is Most Holy.

Romans 5:1

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, We Have Peace With God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 8:1-4

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit.

Hebrews 10:12,14

But This Man, After He Had Offered One Sacrifice For Sins For Ever, Sat Down On The Right Hand Of God;

[14] For By One Offering He Hath Perfected For Ever Them That Are Sanctified.

Hebrews 2:11

For Both, He That Sanctifieth And They Who Are Sanctified Are All Of One: For Which Cause He Is Not Ashamed To Call Them Brethren,

Hebrews 10:10

By The Which Will We Are Sanctified Through The Offering Of The Body Of Jesus Christ Once For All.

JUSTIFIED BY FAITH

Romans 3:31

Do We Then Make Void The Law Through Faith? God Forbid: Yea, We Establish The Law.

Galatians 3:10-13

For As, Many As Are Of The Works Of The Law Are Under The Curse: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Continueth Not In All Things Which Are Written In The Book Of The Law To Do Them. But That No Man Is Justified By The Law In The Sight Of God, It Is Evident: For, The Just Shall Live By Faith. And The Law Is Not Of Faith: But, The Man That Doeth Them Shall Live In Them. Christ Hath Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law, Being Made A Curse For Us: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree:

Galatians 3:19,21-26

Wherefore Then Serveth The Law? It Was Added Because Of Transgressions, Till The Seed Should Come To Whom The Promise Was Made; And It Was Ordained By Angels In The Hand Of A Mediator.

[21] Is The Law Then Against The Promises Of God? God Forbid: For If There Had Been A Law Given Which Could Have Given Life, Verily Righteousness Should Have Been By The Law. But The Scripture Hath Concluded All Under Sin, That The Promise By Faith Of Jesus Christ Might Be Given To Them That Believe. But Before Faith Came, We Were Kept Under The Law, Shut Up Unto The Faith Which Should Afterwards Be Revealed. Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:28

Therefore We Conclude That A Man Is Justified By Faith Without The Deeds Of The Law.

I know you wonder why I teach the basic foundation of Christianity all of the time. I teach the basics because so many Christians do not know them.

ALL PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE LAW UNTIL JESUS CHRIST

- THE SEED- AND THEN WE ARE UNDER GRACE, BY FAITH.

It is by Faith, we believe that Jesus Christ Is The Son Of God. It is by Faith, we believe He is Sacrificed for our sins. It is by Faith, we believe Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and made peace between us and God. It is by Faith, we believe Jesus Christ gives us eternal life.

The Law could not do that for us. The Law teaches what sin is, but Christ Jesus takes away sin. The Law is a work for us to do, Jesus Christ did the work for us. Jesus Christ fulfilled The Law, if something is fulfilled, what else is there to do, but have Faith? Ask yourself, Am I Justified Or Guilty? The answer to that one question will tell you if you are under The Law or Grace.

Hebrews 10:35-36,38-39

Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence, Which Hath Great Recompence Of Reward. For Ye Have Need Of Patience, That, After Ye Have Done The Will Of God, Ye Might Receive The Promise.

[38] Now The Just Shall Live By Faith: But If Any Man Draw Back, My Soul Shall Have No Pleasure In Him. But We Are Not Of Them Who Draw Back Unto Perdition; But Of Them That Believe To The Saving Of The Soul.

LIVE IN THE VICTORY THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE!!!

NEITHER REPENTED

John 3:15-19

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Revelation 9:17-21

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

This Is The Time Of Grace. The Judgement Of God Is Coming But Right Now Is The Time Of Repentance And Salvation. When The Judgment Comes On The Earth Everyone Will Know. Everyone Will Be Judged, Not Just A Gay And Lesbian Nightclub. We Have False Preachers And Teachers Saying God Is Judging These People. When The Judgment Of God Comes, He Will Judge Everyone, That Includes All Liars, Murders, Blasphemers, And All Sinners. EVERYONE, NOT JUST A FEW, AND DEFINITELY NOT WITH MURDER, THAT IS SATAN'S WORK! Everyone Who Does Not Repent Of Their Sins And Ask For Salvation. Everyone That Does Not Know Jesus Christ As Their Savior. Everyone That Does Not Repent!

But Right Now Is The Time Of Grace!

Don't Be Deceived, PREACH JESUS!

Beware Of False

Matthew 7:13-23

Enter Ye In At The Strait Gate: For Wide Is The Gate, And Broad Is The Way, That Leadeth To Destruction, And Many There Be Which Go In Thereat: Because Strait Is The Gate, And Narrow Is The Way, Which Leadeth Unto Life, And Few There Be That Find It. Beware Of False Prophets, Which Come To You In Sheep's Clothing, But Inwardly They Are Ravening Wolves. Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits. Do Men Gather Grapes Of Thorns, Or Figs Of Thistles? Even So, Every Good Tree Bringeth Forth Good Fruit; But A Corrupt Tree Bringeth Forth Evil Fruit. A Good Tree Cannot Bring Forth Evil Fruit, Neither Can A Corrupt Tree Bring Forth Good Fruit. Every Tree That Bringeth Not Forth Good Fruit Is Hewn Down, And Cast Into The Fire. Wherefore By Their Fruits, Ye Shall Know Them. Not Every One That Saith Unto Me, Lord, Lord, Shall Enter Into The Kingdom Of Heaven; But He That Doeth The Will Of My Father Which Is In Heaven. Many Will Say To Me In That Day, Lord, Lord, Have We Not Prophesied In Thy Name? And In Thy Name Have Cast Out Devils? And In Thy Name Done Many Wonderful Works? And Then Will I Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew You: Depart From Me, Ye That Work Iniquity.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

For Such Are False Apostles, Deceitful Workers, Transforming Themselves Into The Apostles Of Christ. And No Marvel; For Satan, Himself Is Transformed Into An Angel Of Light. Therefore It Is No Great Thing If His Ministers Also Be Transformed As The Ministers Of Righteousness; Whose End Shall Be According To Their Works.

Read your Bible for yourself, so you will never be deceived. Know The Truth, because satan transforms himself into an angel of light. Beware, especially in these days when they are so evil.

JESUS FULFILLED THE OLD COVENANT AND THE LAW!!!

Genesis 17:11

And Ye Shall Circumcise The Flesh Of Your Foreskin; And It Shall Be A Token Of The Covenant Betwixt Me And You.

Colossians 2:11

In Whom Also Ye Are Circumcised With The Circumcision Made Without Hands, In Putting Off The Body Of The Sins Of The Flesh By The Circumcision Of Christ:

Hebrews 8:9-10,12-13

Not According To The Covenant That I Made With Their Fathers In The Day When I Took Them By The Hand To Lead Them Out Of The Land Of Egypt; Because They Continued Not In My Covenant, And I Regarded Them Not, Saith The Lord. For This Is The Covenant That I Will Make With The House Of Israel After Those Days, Saith The Lord; I Will Put My Laws Into Their Mind, And Write Them In Their Hearts: And I Will Be To Them A God, And They Shall Be To Me A People:

[12] For I Will Be Merciful To Their Unrighteousness, And Their Sins And Their Iniquities Will I Remember No More. In That He Saith, A New Covenant, He Hath Made The First Old. Now That Which Decayeth And Waxeth Old Is Ready To Vanish Away.

2 Corinthians 3:3-18

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; Not In Tables Of Stone, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. And Such Trust Have We Through Christ To God-ward: Not That We Are Sufficient Of Ourselves To Think Any Thing As Of Ourselves; But Our Sufficiency Is Of God; Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of The New Testament; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: For The Letter Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: How Shall Not The Ministration Of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious? For If The Ministration Of Condemnation Be Glory, Much More Doth The Ministration Of Righteousness Exceed In Glory. For Even That Which Was Made Glorious Had No Glory In This Respect, By Reason Of The Glory That Excelleth. For If That Which Is Done Away Was Glorious, Much More That Which Remaineth Is Glorious. Seeing Then That We Have Such Hope, We Use Great Plainness Of Speech: And Not As Moses, Which Put A Vail Over His Face, That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Look To The End Of That Which Is Abolished: But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of The Old Testament; Which Vail Is Done Away In Christ. But Even Unto This Day, When Moses Is Read, The Vail Is Upon Their Heart. Nevertheless, When It Shall Turn To The Lord, The Vail Shall Be Taken Away. Now The Lord Is That Spirit: And Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is, There Is Liberty. But We All, With Open Face Beholding As In A Glass The Glory Of The Lord, Are Changed Into The Same Image From Glory To Glory, Even As By The Spirit Of The Lord.

Colossians 2:11-14

In Whom Also Ye Are Circumcised With The Circumcision Made Without Hands, In Putting Off The Body Of The Sins Of The Flesh By The Circumcision Of Christ: Buried With Him In Baptism, Wherein Also Ye Are Risen With Him Through The Faith Of The Operation Of God, Who Hath Raised Him From The Dead. And You, Being Dead In Your Sins And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh, Hath He Quickened Together With Him, Having Forgiven You All Trespasses; Blotting Out The Handwriting Of Ordinances That Was Against Us, Which Was Contrary To Us, And Took It Out Of The Way, Nailing It To His Cross;

Luke 16:16

BE STABLISHED IN THE FAITH.

Colossians 1:6

Which Is Come Unto You, As It Is In All The World; And Bringeth Forth Fruit, As It Doth Also In You, Since The Day Ye Heard Of It, And Knew The Grace Of God In Truth:

Colossians 1:9-14,21-23,28

For This Cause We Also, Since The Day We Heard It, Do Not Cease To Pray For You, And To Desire That Ye Might Be Filled With The Knowledge Of His Will In All Wisdom And Spiritual Understanding; That Ye Might Walk Worthy Of The Lord Unto All Pleasing, Being Fruitful In Every Good Work, And Increasing In The Knowledge Of God; Strengthened With All Might, According To His Glorious Power, Unto All Patience And Longsuffering With Joyfulness; Giving Thanks Unto The Father, Which Hath Made Us Meet To Be Partakers Of The Inheritance Of The Saints In Light: Who Hath Delivered Us From The Power Of Darkness, And Hath Translated Us Into The Kingdom Of His Dear Son: In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, Even The Forgiveness Of Sins:

[21] And You, That Were Sometime Alienated And Enemies In Your Mind By Wicked Works, Yet Now Hath He Reconciled In The Body Of His Flesh Through Death, To Present You Holy And Unblameable And Unreproveable In His Sight: If Ye Continue In The Faith Grounded And Settled, And Be Not Moved Away From The Hope Of The Gospel, Which Ye Have Heard, And Which Was Preached To Every Creature Which Is Under Heaven; Whereof I Paul Am Made A Minister;

[28] Whom We Preach, Warning Every Man, And Teaching Every Man In All Wisdom; That We May Present Every Man Perfect In Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 4:11-15

And He Gave Some, Apostles; And Some, Prophets; And Some, Evangelists; And Some, Pastors And Teachers; For The Perfecting Of The Saints, For The Work Of The Ministry, For The Edifying Of The Body Of Christ: Till We All Come In The Unity Of The Faith, And Of The Knowledge Of The Son Of God, Unto A Perfect Man, Unto The Measure Of The Stature Of The Fulness Of Christ: That We Henceforth Be No More Children, Tossed To And Fro, And Carried About With Every Wind Of Doctrine, By The Sleight Of Men, And Cunning Craftiness, Whereby They Lie In Wait To Deceive; But Speaking The Truth In Love, May Grow Up Into Him In All Things, Which Is The Head, Even Christ:

Colossians 2:6-9

As Ye Have Therefore Received Christ Jesus The Lord, So Walk Ye In Him: Rooted And Built Up In Him, And Stablished In The Faith, As Ye Have Been Taught, Abounding Therein With Thanksgiving. Beware Lest Any Man Spoil You Through Philosophy And Vain Deceit, After The Tradition Of Men, After The Rudiments Of The World, And Not After Christ. For In Him Dwelleth All The Fulness Of The Godhead Bodily.

We are to read our Bible, to gain full knowledge of Jesus Christ. We read our Bible, to be grounded and settled in The Hope Of The Gospel.

We are to read our Bibles to be built up in Jesus Christ.

We are to read our Bible, to be solidified in Grace.

Read your Bible. So many Christians just read and know what others have told them. Learn for yourself, and be sure what others are saying is the Truth Of The Gospel and not just their opinion. Don't just read little quotes from other people, get The Word Of God From God. His Holy Spirit is inside you to teach you about Jesus Christ. I just plead with you today to read your Bible and start of course in The New Testament. The New Testament is where you will find the whole word about Jesus Christ. The Old Testament prophesies about Jesus Christ, but The New Testament is where He Came to fulfill the prophecies. Hide His Word In Your Heart.

Hebrews 12:1-3

Wherefore Seeing We Also Are Compassed About With So Great A Cloud Of Witnesses, Let Us Lay Aside Every Weight, And The Sin Which Doth So Easily Beset Us, And Let Us Run With Patience The Race That Is Set Before Us, Looking Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; Who For The Joy That Was Set Before Him Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God. For Consider Him That Endured Such Contradiction Of Sinners Against Himself, Lest Ye Be Wearied And Faint In Your Minds.

Weight: A Mass Or Heavy Object Used To Exert Pressure Or Weigh Down.

Lay Aside: To Give Up; Abandon.

Beset: To Attack On All Sides.

There Is A Heavy Yoke On Us When We Are Caring About A Load Of Sin. Jesus Christ Came And Died, To Take That Load Off Of Us. So many Christians Get So Bogged Down About Sin So Much That They Get Tired And Quit. The Bible Calls It Getting Wearied And Fainting In Our Minds. Our Minds Should Be Clear And Joyful Because Of What Jesus Christ Did. The Bible Says For Us To Lay Aside The Weight And Sin. We Should Not Even Have Any Thought Of Sin. Christians And Sinners Are Contradictory To Each Other. Like Oil And Water, They Do Not Mix. To Keep Asking For Forgiveness Of Sin, Is Like Asking For More Blood To Wash You. Jesus Christ Gave All Of His Blood On His Cross, There Is No More For Him To Give. If We Have To Keep Asking For Forgiveness Of Sin Jesus Would Have To Keep Dying. Jesus Christ Is Sitting Down Now. The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ Is Enough For Evey Sin That Ever Was, Is, And Ever Will Be. He Died To Sin Once, and So Do We. Live Your Life In The Victory That Jesus Christ Died For You To Have!

Matthew 11:29-30

Take My Yoke Upon You, And Learn Of Me; For I Am Meek And Lowly In Heart: And Ye Shall Find Rest Unto Your Souls. For My Yoke Is Easy, And My Burden Is Light.

Acts 15:5,10,24

But There Rose Up Certain Of The Sect Of The Pharisees Which Believed, Saying, That It Was Needful To Circumcise Them, And To Command Them To Keep The Law Of Moses.

[10] Now Therefore Why Tempt Ye God, To Put A Yoke Upon The Neck Of The Disciples, Which Neither Our Fathers Nor We Were Able To Bear?

[24] Forasmuch As We Have Heard, That Certain Which Went Out From Us Have Troubled You With Words, Subverting Your Souls, Saying, Ye Must Be Circumcised, And Keep The Law: To Whom We Gave No Such Commandment:

Romans 15:13

Now The God Of Hope Fill You With All Joy And Peace In Believing, That Ye May Abound In Hope, Through The Power Of The Holy Ghost.

1 John 1:4

And These Things Write We Unto You, That Your Joy May Be Full.

Hebrews 10:2-3

For Then Would They Not Have Ceased To Be Offered? Because That The Worshippers Once Purged Should Have Had No More Conscience Of Sins. But In Those Sacrifices, There Is A Remembrance Again Made Of Sins Every Year.

Hebrews 10:10

By The Which Will We Are Sanctified Through The Offering Of The Body Of Jesus Christ Once For All.

Hebrews 1:3

Who Being The Brightness Of His Glory, And The Express Image Of His Person, And Upholding All Things By The Word Of His Power, When He Had By Himself Purged Our Sins, Sat Down On The Right Hand Of The Majesty On High;

Romans 6:11

Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Galatians 2:20

I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS, I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.

Galatians 5:24

AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS.

Romans 8:9

BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

1 John 3:1

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That WE SHOULD BE CALLED The SONS OF GOD: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not.

2 Peter 3:1

This Second Epistle, Beloved, I Now Write Unto You; In Both Which I STIR UP YOUR PURE MINDS By Way Of Remembrance:

John 3:3,5-7

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be BORN AGAIN, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God.

[5] Jesus Answered, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Of Water And Of The Spirit, He Cannot Enter Into The Kingdom Of God. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh, And THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. Marvel Not That I Said Unto Thee, Ye Must Be BORN AGAIN.

Titus 1:15

UNTO THE PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE: But Unto Them That Are Defiled And Unbelieving Is Nothing Pure; But Even Their Mind And Conscience Is Defiled.

1 John 3:3

And Every Man That Hath This Hope In Him Purifieth Himself, EVEN AS HE IS PURE.

1 John 4:17

Herein Is Our Love Made Perfect, That We May Have Boldness In The Day Of Judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.

2 Peter 1:9

But He That Lacketh These Things Is Blind, And Cannot See Afar Off, And Hath Forgotten That He Was PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS.

1 John 3:9

WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

2 Corinthians 5:17

THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.

Ephesians 1:13

IN WHOM YE ALSO TRUSTED, AFTER THAT YE HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: IN WHOM ALSO AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE,

Ephesians 4:30

And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption.

2 Peter 1:12-13

Wherefore I Will Not Be Negligent To Put You Always In Remembrance Of These Things, Though Ye Know Them, And Be Established In The Present Truth. Yea, I Think It Meet, As Long As I Am In This Tabernacle, To Stir You Up By Putting You In Remembrance;

We Live By The Faith.

We Are Crucified With Christ.

We Live; Yet Not Us, But Christ Lives In Us.

We Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.

We Are Not In The Flesh, Anymore.

The Spirit Of God Dwells In Us, Which Is The Spirit Of Christ.

We Are A Child Of God.

We Are Born Again Of The Spirit, So We Are Spirit.

To The Pure All Things Are Pure.

Our Hope Is In Jesus, So We Are Pure, EVEN AS HE IS PURE.

AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.

We Are Purged From Our Old Sins.

We Cannot Sin, Because He Lives Within Us.

We Are New Creatures.

We Are Sealed With That Holy Spirit Of Promise, Unto The Day Of Redemption!

Stop Grieving The Holy Spirit Of God, know who you are in Christ Jesus!

Stop thinking like the old fleshly wretched man, be renewed in the Spirit of your minds.

Ephesians 4:23-24

And Be Renewed In The Spirit Of Your Mind; And That Ye Put On The New Man, Which After God Is Created In Righteousness And True Holiness.

HIS OWN BODY

Romans 6:1-23

What Shall We Say Then? Shall We Continue In Sin, That Grace May Abound? God Forbid. How Shall We, That Are Dead To Sin, Live Any Longer Therein? Know Ye Not, That So Many Of Us As Were Baptized Into Jesus Christ Were Baptized Into His Death? Therefore We Are Buried With Him By Baptism Into Death: That Like As Christ Was Raised Up From The Dead By The Glory Of The Father, Even So We Also Should Walk In Newness Of Life. For If We Have Been Planted Together In The Likeness Of His Death, We Shall Be Also In The Likeness Of His Resurrection: Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Let Not Sin Therefore Reign In Your Mortal Body, That Ye Should Obey It In The Lusts Thereof. Neither Yield Ye Your Members As Instruments Of Unrighteousness Unto Sin: But Yield Yourselves Unto God, As Those That Are Alive From The Dead, And Your Members As Instruments Of Righteousness Unto God. For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. What Then? Shall We Sin, Because We Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace? God Forbid. Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness? But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. What Fruit Had Ye Then In Those Things Whereof Ye Are Now Ashamed? For The End Of Those Things Is Death. But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Colossians 3:3

For Ye Are Dead, And Your Life Is Hid With Christ In God.

1 Peter 2:24-25

Who His Own Self Bare Our Sins In His Own Body On The Tree, That We, Being Dead To Sins, Should Live Unto Righteousness: By Whose Stripes Ye Were Healed. For Ye Were As Sheep Going Astray; But Are Now Returned Unto The Shepherd And Bishop Of Your Souls.

Healed From Our Sins, Because Jesus Christ Bore Them On His Own Body!

1 Thessalonians 2:14

For Ye, Brethren, Became Followers Of The Churches Of God Which In Judaea Are IN Christ Jesus: For Ye Also Have Suffered Like Things Of Your Own Countrymen, Even As They Have Of The Jews:

Philemon 1:6

That The Communication Of Thy Faith May Become Effectual By The Acknowledging Of Every Good Thing Which Is In You IN Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:1

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit.

Galatians 5:24-25

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live IN The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk IN The Spirit.

John 10:27-30

My Sheep Hear My Voice, And I Know Them, And They Follow Me: And I Give Unto Them Eternal Life; And They Shall Never Perish, Neither Shall Any Man Pluck Them Out Of My Hand. My Father, Which Gave Them Me, Is Greater Than All; And No Man Is Able To Pluck Them Out Of My Father's Hand. I And My Father Are One.

John 14:10,20

Believest Thou Not That I Am IN The Father, And The Father IN Me? The Words That I Speak Unto You I Speak Not Of Myself: But The Father That Dwelleth IN Me, He Doeth The Works.

At That Day Ye Shall Know That I Am IN My Father, And Ye IN Me, And I IN You.

1 Corinthians 3:23

AND YE ARE CHRIST'S, AND CHRIST IS GOD'S.

Colossians 2:13-15

And You, Being Dead In Your Sins And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh, Hath He Quickened Together With Him, Having Forgiven You All Trespasses; Blotting Out The Handwriting Of Ordinances That Was Against Us, Which Was Contrary To Us, And Took It Out Of The Way, Nailing It To His Cross; And Having Spoiled Principalities And Powers, He Made A Shew Of Them Openly, Triumphing Over Them In It.

Ephesians 2:12-18

That At That Time Ye Were Without Christ, Being Aliens From The Commonwealth Of Israel, And Strangers From The Covenants Of Promise, Having No Hope, And Without God In The World: But Now In Christ Jesus Ye Who Sometimes Were Far Off Are Made Nigh By The Blood Of Christ. For He Is Our Peace, Who Hath Made Both One, And Hath Broken Down The Middle Wall Of Partition Between Us; Having Abolished In His Flesh The Enmity, Even The Law Of Commandments Contained In Ordinances; For To Make In Himself Of Twain One New Man, So Making Peace; And That He Might Reconcile Both Unto God In One Body By The Cross, Having Slain The Enmity Thereby: And Came And Preached Peace To You Which Were Afar Off, And To Them That Were Nigh. For Through Him We Both Have Access By One Spirit Unto The Father.

2 Corinthians 3:3-18

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; Not In Tables Of Stone, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. And Such Trust Have We Through Christ To God-ward: Not That We Are Sufficient Of Ourselves To Think Any Thing As Of Ourselves; But Our Sufficiency Is Of God; Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of The New Testament; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: FOR THE LETTER KILLETH, But The Spirit Giveth Life. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: How Shall Not The Ministration Of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious? For If The Ministration Of Condemnation Be Glory, Much More Doth The Ministration Of Righteousness Exceed In Glory. For Even That Which Was Made Glorious Had No Glory In This Respect, By Reason Of The Glory That Excelleth. For If That Which Is Done Away Was Glorious, Much More That Which Remaineth Is Glorious. Seeing Then That We Have Such Hope, We Use Great Plainness Of Speech: And Not As Moses, Which Put A Vail Over His Face, That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Look To The End Of That Which Is Abolished: But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of The Old Testament; Which Vail Is Done Away In Christ. But Even Unto This Day, When Moses Is Read, The Vail Is Upon Their Heart. Nevertheless, When It Shall Turn To The Lord, The Vail Shall Be Taken Away. Now The Lord Is That Spirit: And Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is, There Is Liberty. But We All, With Open Face Beholding As In A Glass The Glory Of The Lord, Are Changed Into The Same Image From Glory To Glory, Even As By The Spirit Of The Lord.

Galatians 4:21

Tell Me, Ye That Desire To Be Under The Law, Do Ye Not Hear The Law?

Galatians 4:29

But As Then He That Was Born After The Flesh Persecuted Him That Was Born After The Spirit, Even So, It Is Now.

You are no longer flesh, YOU ARE SPIRIT!

ARE YOU BORN OF GOD?

1 Peter 4:1

Forasmuch Then As Christ Hath Suffered For Us In The Flesh, Arm Yourselves Likewise With The Same Mind: For He That Hath Suffered In The Flesh Hath Ceased From Sin;

Romans 6:6-7

Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin.

Galatians 5:24

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.

1 John 3:9

Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God.

Romans 6:10-11

For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

This Scripture says likewise, reckon yourself dead to sin. This means once! Jesus Christ died once, so did you! People who worry about sinning are always living in fear, they are in bondage to sin. Jesus died to set the captives free! Die to sin once, and be free!

Live In The Freedom That Christ Jesus Died For You To Have!!!

ASK YOURSELF, AM I RIGHTEOUS?

We are saved by Grace, not by works of The Law. When we have been born again of the Spirit, we become Spirit. After we become Spirit, we are no longer flesh. After Salvation, we are new creatures, new creations. After Salvation, our hearts turn to God, but before Salvation, they were against Him. Before Salvation, we did not care what His Law said, and we did what was right in our own eyes. The Law tells us what God hates. Disobedience to The Law is what makes us sinners. It's by The Law that we even know what sin is. Faith alone in Him is why God imputes His righteousness to us. We were under The Law or a schoolmaster until Faith in Christ Jesus came.

Romans 4:22-25

And Therefore It Was Imputed To Him For Righteousness. Now It Was Not Written For His Sake Alone, That It Was Imputed To Him; But For Us Also, To Whom It Shall Be Imputed, If We Believe On Him That Raised Up Jesus Our Lord From The Dead; Who Was Delivered For Our Offences, And Was Raised Again For Our Justification.

Galatians 3:22-27

But The Scripture Hath Concluded All Under Sin, That The Promise By Faith Of Jesus Christ Might Be Given To Them That Believe. But Before Faith Came, We Were Kept Under The Law, Shut Up Unto The Faith Which Should Afterwards Be Revealed. Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus. For As Many Of You As Have Been Baptized Into Christ Have Put On Christ.

1 John 3:4

Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law.

Romans 6:14

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

1 John 3:5-9

And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God.

Galatians 3:2-3

This Only Would I Learn Of You, Received Ye The Spirit By The Works Of The Law, Or By The Hearing Of Faith? Are Ye So Foolish? Having Begun In The Spirit, Are Ye Now Made Perfect By The Flesh?

When you read these two Scriptures, you will find that after Salvation, we are not under The Law, and we are no longer sinners. We are now children of God because of Faith!

I think it is funny how before Salvation, no one wants to keep The Law, then after Salvation, Christians do.

HAS GOD EVER TRULY HAD A BATTLE?

Revelation 16:14

For They Are The Spirits Of Devils, Working Miracles, Which Go Forth Unto The Kings Of The Earth And Of The Whole World, To Gather Them To The Battle Of That Great Day Of God Almighty.

YOU MAY TRY TO WAR WITH GOD, BUT YOU ARE FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE. GOD DOES NOT BATTLE, WE DO, BUT HE DOES NOT.

WE ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE, BUT WE STAND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT, NOT OURS. IT IS THE ARMOR OF GOD THAT WE ARE IN, AND THAT ARMOR IS JESUS! WRAPUP IN JESUS!

JESUS HAD THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD ON HIM, AND GOD WAS ABLE TO RAISE HIM FROM THE DEAD! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER THAT GOD DID NOT CREATE AND GIVE!

GOD CREATED ALL POWER! GOD IS ALL POWER!

Colossians 1:16-17

For By Him Were All Things Created, That Are In Heaven, And That Are In Earth, Visible And Invisible, Whether They Be Thrones, Or Dominions, Or Principalities, Or Powers: All Things Were Created By Him, And For Him: And He Is Before All Things, And By Him All Things Consist.

John 1:3

All Things Were Made By Him, And Without Him Was Not Any Thing Made That Was Made.

Ephesians 6:10-13

Finally, My Brethren, Be Strong In The Lord, And In The Power Of His Might. Put On The Whole Armour Of God, That Ye May Be Able To Stand Against The Wiles Of The Devil. For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World, Against Spiritual Wickedness In High Places. Wherefore Take Unto You The Whole Armour Of God, That Ye May Be Able To Withstand In The Evil Day, And Having Done All, To Stand.

LOVE EACH OTHER AND TEACH THE TRUTH

Acts 17:5-6,11,13

But The Jews Which Believed Not, Moved With Envy, Took Unto Them Certain Lewd Fellows Of The Baser Sort, And Gathered A Company, And Set All The City On An Uproar, And Assaulted The House Of Jason, And Sought To Bring Them Out To The People. And When They Found Them Not, They Drew Jason And Certain Brethren Unto The Rulers Of The City, Crying, These That Have Turned The World Upside Down Are Come Hither Also;

[11] These Were More Noble Than Those In Thessalonica, In That They Received The Word With All Readiness Of Mind, And Searched The Scriptures Daily, Whether Those Things Were So.

[13] But When The Jews Of Thessalonica Had Knowledge That The Word Of God Was Preached Of Paul At Berea, They Came Thither Also, And Stirred Up The People.

Which type are you?

These are the two types of Christians, type one wants to argue when they disagree, and type two wants to learn The Truth. Type two will sit down and open The Word Of God. They will search the scriptures day and night to come to the truth. Some believe they already know what The Word Of God says and will not discuss it to find the truth. I would think if they knew the truth, they would want to share their knowledge to help those in error. The people who can not explain why they believe the way they do, are the ones who do not want to have a discussion. Those are the ones that are fearful because of their lack of knowledge. Or, those are the ones that don't want to be proven wrong. Either way, they do not want to know the truth. Everyone can learn something new. No one person knows everything. Don't be envious of others' knowledge, but rather desire to learn from them. If you believe they are wrong, prove it, and set them free of their error. That is what we are all about, Loving Each Other And Teaching The Truth.

Learning The Word Of Truth Is A Good Thing!

CHARITY

H- HONESTLY

1 Thessalonians 4:12

That Ye May Walk Honestly Toward Them That Are Without, And That Ye May Have Lack Of

Nothing.

A- AWARE

Luke 12:46

The Lord Of That Servant Will Come In A Day When He Looketh Not For Him, And At An Hour When He Is Not Aware, And Will Cut Him In Sunder, And Will Appoint Him His Portion With The Unbelievers.

R- RIGHTEOUSNESS

1 John 3:7

Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous.

I- INSTRUMENTS

Romans 6:13

Neither Yield Ye Your Members As Instruments Of Unrighteousness Unto Sin: But Yield Yourselves Unto God, As Those That Are Alive From The Dead, And Your Members As Instruments Of Righteousness Unto God.

T- THANKFUL

Colossians 3:15

And Let The Peace Of God Rule In Your Hearts, To The Which Also Ye Are Called In One Body; And Be Ye Thankful.

Y- YIELD

Romans 6:19

I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness.

WHEN YOU HAVE CHARITY, YOU NOT ONLY HELP YOURSELF, BUT OTHERS!

Exhortation

Proverbs 3:10-13

So Shall Thy Barns Be Filled With Plenty, And Thy Presses Shall Burst Out With New Wine. My Son, Despise Not The Chastening Of The Lord; Neither Be Weary Of His Correction: For Whom The Lord Loveth He Correcteth; Even As A Father The Son In Whom He Delighteth. Happy Is The Man That Findeth Wisdom, And The Man That Getteth Understanding.

Hebrews 12:5-14

And Ye Have Forgotten The Exhortation Which Speaketh Unto You As Unto Children, My Son, Despise Not Thou The Chastening Of The Lord, Nor Faint When Thou Art Rebuked Of Him: For Whom The Lord Loveth He Chasteneth, And Scourgeth Every Son Whom He Receiveth. If Ye Endure Chastening, God Dealeth With You As With Sons; For What Son Is He Whom The Father Chasteneth Not? But If Ye Be Without Chastisement, Whereof All Are Partakers, Then Are Ye Bastards, And Not Sons. Furthermore, We Have Had Fathers Of Our Flesh Which Corrected Us, And We Gave Them Reverence: Shall We Not Much Rather Be In Subjection Unto The Father Of Spirits, And Live? For They Verily For A Few Days Chastened Us After Their Own Pleasure; But He For Our Profit, That We Might Be Partakers Of His Holiness. Now No Chastening For The Present Seemeth To Be Joyous, But Grievous: Nevertheless Afterward It Yieldeth The Peaceable Fruit Of Righteousness Unto Them Which Are Exercised Thereby. Wherefore Lift Up The Hands Which Hang Down, And The Feeble Knees; And Make Straight Paths For Your Feet, Lest That Which Is Lame Be Turned Out Of The Way; But Let It Rather Be Healed. Follow Peace With All Men, And Holiness, Without Which No Man Shall See The Lord:

Christians that can't admit they did wrong say they are being persecuted by others when disagreeing with them.

Christians need to know the difference between the two. You might be going against God's correction and admonishment.

He Led Captivity Captive

Romans 8:15

For Ye Have Not Received The Spirit Of Bondage Again To Fear; But Ye Have Received The Spirit Of Adoption, Whereby We Cry, Abba, Father.

Hebrews 2:10-11,14-15

For It Became Him, For Whom Are All Things, And By Whom Are All Things, In Bringing Many Sons Unto Glory, To Make The Captain Of Their Salvation Perfect Through Sufferings. For Both He That Sanctifieth And They Who Are Sanctified Are All Of One: For Which Cause He Is Not Ashamed To Call Them Brethren,

[14] Forasmuch Then As The Children Are Partakers Of Flesh And Blood, He Also Himself Likewise Took Part Of The Same; That Through Death He Might Destroy Him That Had The Power Of Death, That Is, The Devil; And Deliver Them Who Through Fear Of Death Were All Their Lifetime Subject To Bondage.

Romans 5:12

Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That, All Have Sinned:

Isaiah 45:13

I Have Raised Him Up In Righteousness, And I Will Direct All His Ways: He Shall Build My City, And He Shall Let Go My Captives, Not For Price Nor Reward, Saith The Lord Of Hosts.

Isaiah 42:7-8

To Open The Blind Eyes, To Bring Out The Prisoners From The Prison, And Them That Sit In Darkness Out Of The Prison House. I Am The Lord: That Is My Name: And My Glory Will I Not Give To Another, Neither My Praise To Graven Images.

Psalm 68:18

Thou Hast Ascended On High, Thou Hast Led Captivity Captive: Thou Hast Received Gifts For Men; Yea, For The Rebellious Also, That The Lord God Might Dwell Among Them.

Ephesians 4:8

Wherefore He Saith, When He Ascended Up On High, He Led Captivity Captive, And Gave Gifts Unto Men.

Christians who live under The Law are fearful.

The longer they live under The Law, the more fearful they become. The longer they live under The Law, some will eventually end up fearing the loss of their Salvation. Have you ever done something and wondered if God still loves you?

When men sin, the fear of death, comes upon them. When men sin, they fear God. The feeling of disappointment sits like a heavy rock in their stomachs as they worry about how to make it up to God. They worry about how to be repentant enough to please God and be at peace with Him once again. They look to themselves, for the answer and atonement, instead of looking at Jesus Christ and His deliverance from sin. Sin and death had us in bondage before Salvation, but Jesus Christ sets us free! When you find yourself looking at the evil that you have done, remember what Jesus Christ did for you. No, I am not saying that it will be alright with God for you to do whatever you want. I am saying if you mess up, don't give up. I am also saying that you are a child of God, so live like it! When I say that Jesus Christ kept The Law for you, I am not saying that you are now free to live for the world, and if that is what you are thinking, then you need to check your Salvation. After Salvation, our whole life changed. It is only after Salvation that our minds can think about Godly things and our hearts can comprehend Godly desires. After Salvation, we are being conformed, by God, into the image of Jesus Christ. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we want to read our Bibles, Praise God for His Salvation, and do good to others. We Are set Free By Jesus Christ, To Know His Father As Our Father, In Spirit, And In Truth!
