WHO KILLED JESUS CHRIST

WHO KILLED JESUS CHRIST 

Luke 18:31-33 

Then He Took Unto Him The Twelve, And Said Unto Them, Behold, We Go Up To Jerusalem, And All Things That Are Written By The Prophets Concerning The Son Of Man Shall Be Accomplished. For He Shall Be Delivered Unto The Gentiles, And Shall Be Mocked, And Spitefully Entreated, And Spitted On: And They Shall Scourge Him, And The Third Day He Shall Rise Again.

Mark 15:1-20 

And Straightway In The Morning The Chief Priests Held A Consultation With The Elders And Scribes And The Whole Council, And Bound Jesus, And Carried Him Away, And Delivered Him To Pilate. And Pilate Asked Him, Art Thou The King Of The Jews? And He Answering Said Unto Him, Thou Sayest It. And The Chief Priests Accused Him Of Many Things: But He Answered nothing. and pilate asked him again, Saying, Answerest Thou Nothing? Behold How Many Things They Witness Against Thee. But Jesus Yet Answered Nothing; So That Pilate Marvelled. Now At That Feast He Released Unto Them One Prisoner, Whomsoever They Desired. And There Was One Named Barabbas, Which Lay Bound With Them That Had Made Insurrection With Him, Who Had Committed Murder In The Insurrection. And The Multitude Crying Aloud Began To Desire Him To Do As He Had Ever Done Unto Them. But Pilate Answered Them, Saying, Will Ye That I Release Unto You The King Of The Jews? For He Knew That The Chief Priests Had Delivered Him For Envy. But The Chief Priests Moved The People, That He Should Rather Release Barabbas Unto Them. And Pilate Answered And Said Again Unto Them, What Will Ye Then That I Shall Do Unto Him Whom Ye Call The King Of The Jews? And They Cried Out Again, Crucify Him. Then Pilate Said Unto Them, Why, What Evil Hath He Done? And They Cried Out The More Exceedingly, Crucify Him. And So Pilate, Willing To Content The People, Released Barabbas Unto Them, And Delivered Jesus, When He Had Scourged Him, To Be Crucified. And The Soldiers Led Him Away Into The Hall, Called Praetorium; And They Call Together The Whole Band. And They Clothed Him With Purple, And Platted a crown of thorns, and put it About His Head, And Began To Salute Him, Hail, King Of The Jews! And They Smote Him On The Head With A Reed, And Did Spit Upon Him, And Bowing Their Knees Worshipped Him. And When They Had Mocked Him, They Took Off The Purple From Him, And Put His Own Him,

And Led Him Out To Crucify Him.

John 18:3-15,19-24,28-32 

Judas Then, Having Received A Band Of Men And Officers From The Chief Priests And Pharisees, Cometh Thither With Lanterns And Torches And Weapons. Jesus Therefore, Knowing All Things That Should Come Upon Him, Went Forth, And Said Unto Them, Whom Seek Ye? They Answered Him, Jesus Of Nazareth. Jesus Saith Unto Them, I Am He. And Judas Also, Which Betrayed Him, Stood With Also, Which Betrayed Him, Stood With Them. As Soon Then As He Had Said Unto Them, I Am He, They Went Backward, And Fell To The Ground. Then Asked He Them Again, Whom Seek Ye? And They Said, Jesus Of Nazareth. Jesus Answered, I Have Told You That I Am He: If Therefore Ye Seek Me, Let These Go Their Way: That The Saying Might Be Fulfilled, Which He Spake, Of Them Which Thou Gavest Me Have I Lost None. Then Simon Peter Having A Sword Drew It, And Smote The High Priest's Servant, And Cut Off His Right Ear. The Servant's Name Was Malchus. Then Said Jesus Unto Peter, Put Up Thy Sword Into The Sheath: The Cup Which My Father Hath Given Me, Shall I Not Drink It? Then The Band And The Captain And Officers Of The Jews Took Jesus, And Bound Him, And Led Him Away To Annas First; For He Was Father In Law To Caiaphas, Which Was The High Priest That Same Year. Now Caiaphas Was He, Which Gave Counsel To The Jews, That It Was Expedient That One Man Should Die For The People. And Simon Peter Followed Jesus, And So Did Another Disciple: That Disciple Was Known Unto The High Priest, And went In With Jesus Into The Palace Of The High Priest. 

[19] The High Priest Then Asked Jesus Of His Disciples, And Of His Doctrine. Jesus Answered Him, I Spake Openly To The World; I Ever Taught In The Synagogue, And In The Temple, Whither The Jews Always Resort; And In Secret Have I Said Nothing. Why Askest Thou Me? Ask Them Which Heard Me, What I Have Said Unto Them: Behold, They Know What I Said. And When He Had Thus Spoken, One Of The Officers Which Stood By Struck Jesus With The Palm Of His Hand, Saying, Answerest Thou The High Priest So? Jesus Answered Him, If I Have Spoken Evil, Bear Witness Of The Evil: But If Well, Why Smitest Thou Me? Now Annas Had Sent Him Bound Unto Caiaphas The High Priest. 

[28] Then Led They Jesus From Caiaphas Unto The Hall Of Judgment: And It Was Early; And They Themselves Went Not Into The Judgment Hall, Lest They Should Be Defiled; But That They Might Eat The Passover. Pilate Then Went Out Unto Them, And Said, What Accusation Bring Ye Against This Man? They Answered And Said Unto Him, If He Were Not A Malefactor, We Would Not Have Delivered Him Up Unto Thee. Then Said Pilate Unto Them, Take Ye Him, And Judge Him According To Your Law. The Jews Therefore Said Unto Him, It Is Not Lawful For Us To Put Any Man To Death: That The Saying Of Jesus Might Be Fulfilled, Which He Spake, Signifying What Death He Should Die.

John 19:1-6 

Then Pilate Therefore Took Jesus, And Scourged Him. And The Soldiers Platted A Crown Of Thorns, And Put It On His Head, And They Put On Him A Purple Robe, And Said, Hail, King Of The Jews! And They Smote Him With Their Hands. Pilate Therefore Went Forth Again, And Saith Behold, I Bring Him Forth To You, That Ye May Know That I Find No Fault In Him. Then Came Jesus Forth, Wearing The Crown Of Thorns, And The Purple Robe. And Pilate Saith Unto Them, Behold The Man! When The Chief Priests Therefore And Officers Saw Him, They Cried Out, Saying, Crucify Him, Crucify Him. Pilate Saith Unto Them, Take Ye Him, And Crucify Him: For I Find No Fault In Him.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-15 

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: Who Both Killed The Lord Jesus, And Their Own Prophets, And Have Persecuted Us; And They Please Not God, And Are Contrary To All Men:

Luke 24:19-20 

And He Said Unto Them, What Things? And They Said Unto Him, Concerning Jesus Of Nazareth, Which Was A Prophet Mighty In Deed And Word Before God And All The People: And How The Chief Priests And Our Rulers Delivered Him To Be Condemned To Death, And Have Crucified Him.

Some Christians Believe That The Jewish People killed Jesus Christ, But As You Can Read In The Holy Scriptures above The Gentiles Took Part In The Death Of Our Lord Jesus Christ also. We All Are Guilty Of The Death Of Jesus Christ And We All Have To Come Through Him For Forgiveness. The Whole World Has To Come To God Through Christ Jesus For Salvation. The Whole World Has To Bend Our Knees And Hearts To Christ Jesus. Not The Jews Only, But The Gentiles Took Part In His Death. The Sins Of The Jews And The Sins Of The Gentiles Put Christ Jesus To Death. 

Acts 4:12 

Neither Is There Salvation In Any Other: For There Is None Other Name Under Heaven Given Among Men, Whereby We Must Be Saved.

Romans 14:11 

For It Is Written, As I Live, Saith The Lord, Every Knee Shall Bow To Me, And Every Tongue Shall Confess To God.

HE THAT DESCENDED IS THE SAME ALSO THAT ASCENDED UP FAR ABOVE ALL HEAVENS, THAT HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS

HE THAT DESCENDED IS THE SAME ALSO THAT ASCENDED UP FAR ABOVE ALL HEAVENS, THAT HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS

Ephesians 4:8-10 

Wherefore He Saith, When He Ascended Up On High, He Led Captivity Captive, And Gave Gifts Unto Men. (Now That He Ascended, What Is It But That He Also Descended First Into The Lower Parts Of The Earth? HE THAT DESCENDED IS THE SAME ALSO THAT ASCENDED UP FAR ABOVE ALL HEAVENS, THAT HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS.)

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.

Mark 16:19 

So Then After The Lord Had Spoken Unto Them, He Was Received Up Into Heaven, And Sat On The Right Hand Of God.

Acts 2:27,31-32 

Because Thou Wilt Not Leave My Soul In Hell, Neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One To See Corruption. 

[31] He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That His Soul Was Not Left In Hell, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption. This Jesus Hath God Raised Up, Whereof We All Are Witnesses.

Matthew 5:18 

For Verily I Say Unto You, Till Heaven and Earth Pass, One Jot Or One Tittle Shall In No Wise Pass From The Law, Till All Be Fulfilled.

Luke 4:18-21 

The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me, Because He Hath Anointed Me To Preach The Gospel To The Poor; He Hath Sent Me To Heal The Brokenhearted, To Preach Deliverance To The Capive. 

Luke 4:18-21 

The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me, Because He Hath Anointed Me To Preach The Gospel To The Poor; He Hath Sent Me To Heal The Brokenhearted, To Preach Deliverance To The Captives, And Recovering Of Sight To The Blind, To Set At Liberty Them That Are Bruised, To Preach The Acceptable Year Of The Lord. And He Closed The Book, And He Gave It Again To The Minister, And Sat Down. And The Eyes Of All Them That Were In The Synagogue Were Fastened On Him. And He Began To Say Unto Them, This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled In Your Ears.

Romans 7:1-25,8:1-17 

Know Ye Not, Brethren, (For I Speak To Them That Know The Law,) How That The Law Hath Dominion Over A Man As Long As He Liveth? For The Woman Which Hath An Husband Is Bound By The Law To Her Husband So Long As He Liveth; But If The Husband Be Dead, She Is Loosed From The Law Of Her Husband. So Then If, While Her Husband Liveth, She Be Married To Another Man, She Shall Be Called An Adulteress: But If Her Husband Be Dead, She Is Free From That Law; So That She Is No Adulteress, Though She Be Married To Another Man. Wherefore, My Brethren, Ye Also Are Become Dead To The Law By The Body Of Christ; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God. For When We Were In The Flesh, The Motions Of Sins, Which Were By The Law, Did Work In Our Members To Bring Forth Fruit Unto Death. But Now We Are Delivered From The Law, That Being Dead Wherein We Were Held; That We Should Serve In Newness Of Spirit, And Not In The Oldness Of The Letter. What Shall We Say Then? Is The Law Sin? God Forbid. Nay, I Had Not Known Sin, But By The Law: For I had Not Known Lust, Except The Law Had Said, Thou Shalt Not Covet. But Sin, Taking Occasion By The Commandment, Wrought In Me All Manner Of Concupiscence. For Without The Law Sin Was Dead. For I Was Alive Without The Law Once: But When The Commandment Came, Sin Revived, And I Died. And The Commandment, Which Was Ordained To Life, I Found To Be Unto Death. For Sin, Taking Occasion By The Commandment, Deceived Me, And By It Slew Me. Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good. Was Then That Which Is Good Made Death Unto Me? God Forbid. But Sin That It Might Appear Sin, Working Death In Me By That Which Is Good; That Sin By The Commandment Might Become Exceeding Sinful. For We Know That The Law Is Spiritual: But I Am Carnal, Sold Under Sin. For That Which I Do I Allow Not: For What I Would, That Do I Not; But What I Hate, That Do I. If Then I Do That Which I Would Not, I Consent Unto The Law That It Is Good. Now Then It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me. For I Know That In Me (That Is, In My Flesh,) Dwelleth No Good Thing: For To Will Is Present With Me; But How To Perform That Which Is Good I Find Not. For The Good That I Would I Do Not: But The Evil Which I Would Not, That I Do. Now If I Do That I Would Not, It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me. I Find Then A Law, That, When I Would Do Good, Evil Is Present With Me. For I Delight In The Law Of God After The Inward Man: But I See Another Law In My Members, Warring Against The Law Of My Mind, And Bringing Me Into Captivity To The Law Of Sin Which Is In My Members. O Wretched Man That I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death? I Thank God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. So Then With The Mind I Myself Serve The Law Of God; But With The Flesh The Law Of Sin.

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. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. 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. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye Through The Spirit Do Mortify The Deeds Of The Body, Ye Shall Live. For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God. 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. The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness With Our Spirit, That We Are The Children Of God: And If Children, Then Heirs; Heirs Of God, And Joint-Heirs With Christ; If So Be That We Suffer With Him, That We May Be Also Glorified Together.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 

For Though We Walk In The Flesh, We Do Not War After The Flesh: (For The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Carnal, But Mighty Through God To The Pulling Down Of Strong Holds;) Casting Down Imaginations, And Every High Thing That Exalteth Itself Against The Knowledge Of God, And Bringing Into Captivity Every Thought To The Obedience Of Christ;

Isaiah 53:1-12 

Who Hath Believed Our Report? And To Whom Is The Arm Of The LORD Revealed? For He Shall Grow Up Before Him As A Tender Plant, And As A Root Out Of A Dry Ground: He Hath No Form Nor Comeliness; And When We Shall See Him, There Is No Beauty That We Should Desire Him. He Is Despised And Rejected Of Men; A Man Of Sorrows, And Acquainted With Grief: And We Hid As It Were Our Faces From Him; He Was Despised, And We Esteemed Him Not. Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs, And Carried Our Sorrows: Yet We Did Esteem Him Stricken, Smitten Of God, And Afflicted. But He Was Wounded For Our Transgressions, He Was Bruised For Our Iniquities: The Chastisement Of Our Peace Was Upon Him; And With His Stripes We Are Healed. All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray; We Have Turned Every One To His Own Way; And The LORD Hath Laid On Him The Iniquity Of Us All. He Was Oppressed, And He Was Afflicted, Yet He Opened Not His Mouth: He Is Brought As A Lamb To The Slaughter, And As A Sheep Before Her Shearers Is Dumb, So He Openeth Not His Mouth. He Was Taken From Prison And From Judgment: And Who Shall Declare His Generation? For He Was Cut Off Out Of The Land Of The Living: For The Transgression Of My People Was He Stricken. And He Made His Grave With The Wicked, And With The Rich In His Death; Because He Had Done No Violence, Neither Was Any Deceit In His Mouth. Yet It Pleased The LORD To Bruise Him; He Hath Put Him To Grief: When Thou Shalt Make His Soul An Offering For Sin, He Shall See His Seed, He Shall Prolong His Days, And The Pleasure Of The LORD Shall Prosper In His Hand. He Shall See Of The Travail Of His Soul, And Shall Be Satisfied: By His Knowledge Shall My Righteous Servant Justify Many; For He Shall Bear Their Iniquities. Therefore Will I Divide Him A Portion With The Great, And He Shall Divide The Spoil With The Strong; Because He Hath Poured Out His Soul Unto Death: And He Was Numbered With The Transgressors; And He Bare The Sin Of Many, And Made Intercession For The Transgressors.

1 Peter 2:24 

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.

Romans 8:31-39 

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? As It Is Written, For Thy Sake We Are Killed All The Day Long; We Are Accounted As Sheep For The Slaughter. 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.

John 19:30 

When Jesus Therefore Had Received The Vinegar, HE SAID IT IS FINISHED And He Bowed His Head, And Gave Up The Ghost.

He That Descended Is The Same Also That Ascended Up Far Above All Heavens, That He Might Fill All Things.

FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS, AND THE END EVERLASTING LIFE

FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS, AND THE END EVERLASTING LIFE

Luke 8:5-15 

A Sower Went Out To Sow His Seed: And As He Sowed, Some Fell By The Way Side; And It Was Trodden Down, And The Fowls Of The Air Devoured It. And Some Fell Upon A Rock; And As Soon As It Was Sprung Up, It Withered Away, Because It Lacked Moisture. And Some Fell Among Thorns; And The Thorns Sprang Up With It, And Choked It. And Other Fell On Good Ground, And Sprang Up, And Bare Fruit An Hundredfold. And When He Had Said These Things, He Cried, He That Hath Ears To Hear, Let Him Hear. And His Disciples Asked Him, Saying, What Might This Parable Be? And He Said, Unto You It Is Given To Know The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of God: But To Others In Parables; That Seeing They Might Not See, And Hearing They Might Not Understand. Now The Parable Is This: The Seed Is The Word Of God. Those By The Way Side Are They That Hear; Then Cometh The Devil, And Taketh Away The Word Out Of Their Hearts, Lest They Should Believe And Be Saved. They On The Rock Are They, Which, When They Hear, Receive The Word With Joy; And These Have No Root, Which For A While Believe, And In Time Of Temptation Fall Away. And That Which Fell Among Thorns Are They, Which, When They Have Heard, Go Forth, And Are Choked With Cares And Riches And Pleasures Of This Life, And Bring No Fruit To Perfection. But That On The Good Ground Are They, Which In An Honest And Good Heart, Having Heard The Word, Keep It, And Bring Forth Fruit With Patience.

Galatians 6:7-9 

Be Not Deceived; God Is Not Mocked: For Whatsoever A Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap. For He That Soweth To His Flesh Shall Of The Flesh Reap Corruption; But He That Soweth To The Spirit Shall Of The Spirit Reap Life Everlasting. And Let Us Not Be Weary In Well Doing: For In Due Season We Shall Reap, If We Faint Not.

If you have ever planted or seen a garden and how it is grown you will understand these Holy Scriptures above. When you have a failed crop you dig it up and turn the soil. It depends on the soil to know how deep you have to go to turn over the soil to get to the good ground. Turning over the soil is also known as tilling. Tilling the good ground is a garden practice that involves breaking up and loosening the top layer of soil before planting. Tilling can help prepare the soil for healthy plant growth by aerating it. Tilling also adds nutrients, and controlls weeds and pests. However, tilling too shallow on bad ground will still bring a failed crop. 

Dig deep and examine the soil of your heart and plant new seed for the new crop. 

Remember two things about sowing and reaping.

[1] You will have to deal with the bad fruit of your bad crop.

We all had bad fruit that we are now ashamed of as The Word says "Fruit Had Ye Then In Those Things Whereof Ye Are Now Ashamed?" 

[2] You will be able to grow a brand new crop next season.

THE NEW SEASON GIVES US A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE FRESHLY TILLED SOIL, AND TO PLANT THE NEW SEED IN THE GOOD SOIL, AND TO GROW YOUR NEW FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS, AND THE END EVERLASTING LIFE.

Romans 10:8-11 

But What Saith It? The Word Is Nigh Thee, Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart: That Is, The Word Of Faith, Which We Preach; That If Thou Shalt Confess With Thy Mouth The Lord Jesus, And Shalt Believe In Thine Heart That God Hath Raised Him From The A The Heart Man Believeth Unto Righteousness; And With The Mouth Confession Is Made Unto Salvation. For The Scripture Saith, Whosoever Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Ashamed.

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.

Galatians 5:19-25 

Now The Works Of The Flesh Are Manifest, Which Are These; Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkenness, Revellings, And Such Like: Of The Which I Tell You Before, As I Have Also Told You In Time Past, That They Which Do Such Things Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God. But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Against Such There Is No Law. 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.

Philippians 1:11 

Being Filled With The Fruits Of Righteousness, Which Are By Jesus Christ, Unto The Glory And Praise Of God.

THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD, THE WORD OF GOD IS JESUS CHRIST

THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD, THE WORD OF GOD IS JESUS CHRIST 

Luke 8:5-18 

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be Saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an Honest And Good Heart, Having Heard The Word, Keep It, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see The Light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

1 Peter 1:23-24

Being Born Again, not of corruptible Seed, but of incorruptible, By The Word Of God, Which Liveth And Abideth For Ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

Have you fallen away from The Lord? Do you feel adrift Spiritually? Maybe you should dig deep and examine your Spiritual life; I did. I found that I was becoming more and more cumbered down by the things going on around me. I was not being excited as usual about reading The Word Of God; I was feeling Spiritually down. The Lord Gave Me the Holy Scriptures above to show me what was wrong. I decided to delete all my social media and devote my spare time to rereading The Word of God. I am excited again because I heard from The Lord, even though it was Rebuke, it was a Word from The Lord that He loves me and wants a close relationship with me, too. 

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:

WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD

WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD

GALATIANS 3:27 

FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. 

Romans 6:3-23 

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 THE 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.

Ephesians 4:21-32 

IF SO BE THAT YE HAVE HEARD HIM, AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY HIM, AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS: THAT YE PUT OFF CONCERNING THE FORMER CONVERSATION THE OLD MAN, WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS; 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. WHEREFORE PUTTING AWAY LYING, SPEAK EVERY MAN TRUTH WITH HIS NEIGHBOUR: FOR WE ARE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER. BE YE ANGRY, AND SIN NOT: LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN UPON YOUR WRATH: NEITHER GIVE PLACE TO THE DEVIL. LET HIM THAT STOLE STEAL NO MORE: BUT RATHER LET HIM LABOUR, WORKING WITH HIS HANDS THE THING WHICH IS GOOD, THAT HE MAY HAVE TO GIVE TO HIM THAT NEEDETH. 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.

John 3:6 

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

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.

Titus 3:4-8 

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.

John 3:3-5 

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. NICODEMUS SAITH UNTO HIM, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER'S WOMB, AND BE BORN? 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.

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.

1 John 5:1-21 

WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD: AND EVERY ONE THAT LOVETH HIM THAT BEGAT LOVETH HIM ALSO THAT IS BEGOTTEN OF HIM. BY THIS WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS. FOR WHATSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. WHO IS HE THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD? THIS IS HE THAT CAME BY WATER AND BLOOD, EVEN JESUS CHRIST; NOT BY WATER ONLY, BUT BY WATER AND BLOOD. AND IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT BEARETH WITNESS, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH. FOR THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY GHOST: and these three are one. And there are three that BEAR WITNESS IN EARTH, THE SPIRIT, AND THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE. IF WE RECEIVE THE WITNESS OF MEN, THE WITNESS OF GOD IS GREATER: FOR THIS IS THE WITNESS OF GOD WHICH HE HATH TESTIFIED OF HIS SON. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON OF God HATH THE WITNESS IN HIMSELF: HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT GOD HATH MADE HIM A LIAR; BECAUSE HE BELIEVETH NOT THE RECORD THAT GOD GAVE OF HIS SON. AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; and HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE. THESE THINGS HAVE I WRITTEN UNTO YOU THAT BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, AND THAT YE MAY BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD. AND THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE IN HIM, THAT, IF WE ASK ANY THING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US: AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEAR US, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRED OF HIM. IF ANY MAN SEE HIS BROTHER SIN A SIN WHICH IS NOT UNTO DEATH, HE SHALL ASK, AND HE SHALL GIVE HIM LIFE FOR THEM THAT SIN NOT UNTO DEATH. THERE IS A SIN UNTO DEATH: I DO NOT SAY THAT HE SHALL PRAY FOR IT. ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS SIN: AND THERE IS A SIN NOT UNTO DEATH. WE KNOW THAT WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD SINNETH NOT; BUT HE THAT IS BEGOTTEN OF GOD KEEPETH HIMSELF, AND THAT WICKED ONE TOUCHETH HIM NOT. AND WE KNOW THAT WE ARE OF GOD, AND THE WHOLE WORLD LIETH IN WICKEDNESS. AND WE KNOW THAT THE SON OF GOD IS COME, AND HATH GIVEN US AN UNDERSTANDING, THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM THAT IS TRUE, AND WE ARE IN HIM THAT IS TRUE, EVEN IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS THE TRUE GOD, AND ETERNAL LIFE. LITTLE CHILDREN, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. AMEN.

1 John 3:23-24 

AND THIS IS HIS COMMANDMENT, THAT WE SHOULD BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS HE GAVE US COMMANDMENT. AND HE THAT KEEPETH HIS COMMANDMENTS DWELLETH IN HIM, AND HE IN HIM. AND HEREBY WE KNOW THAT HE ABIDETH IN US, BY THE SPIRIT WHICH HE HATH GIVEN US.

John 15:10-12

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.

HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS.

HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS.

Psalm 69:9 

For The Zeal Of Thine House Hath Eaten Me Up; And The Reproaches Of Them That Reproached Thee Are Fallen Upon Me.

Romans 15:3-4 

For Even Christ Pleased Not Himself; But, As It Is Written, The Reproaches Of Them That Reproached Thee Fell On Me. For Whatsoever Things Were Written Aforetime Were Written For Our Learning, That We Through Patience And Comfort Of The Scriptures Might Have Hope.

REPROACH: bring disgrace or shame upon

Romans 15:5-8 

Now The God Of Patience And Consolation Grant You To be Likeminded One Toward Another According to Christ Jesus: That Ye May With One Mind And One Mouth Glorify God, Even The Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore Receive Ye One Another, As Christ Also Received Us To The Glory Of God. Now I Say That Jesus Christ Was A Minister Of The Circumcision For The Truth Of God, To Confirm The Promises Made unto The Fathers:

1 Corinthians 10:1-15 

Moreover, Brethren, I Would Not That Ye Should Be Ignorant, How That All Our Fathers Were Under The Cloud, And All Passed Through The Sea; And Were All Baptized Unto Moses In The Cloud And In The Sea; And Did All Eat The Same Spiritual Meat; And Did All Drink The Same Spiritual Drink: For They Drank Of That Spiritual Rock That Followed Them: And That Rock Was Christ. But With Many Of Them God Was Not Well Pleased: For They Were Overthrown In The Wilderness. Now These Things Were Our Examples, To The Intent We Should Not Lust After Evil Things, As They Also Lusted. Neither Be Ye Idolaters, As Were Some Of Them; As It Is Written, The People Sat Down To Eat And Drink, And Rose Up To Play. Neither Let Us Commit Fornication, As Some Of Them Committed, And Fell In One Day Three And Twenty Thousand. Neither Let Us Tempt Christ, As Some Of Them Also Tempted, And Were Destroyed Of Serpents. Neither Murmur Ye, As Some Of Them Also Murmured, And Were Destroyed Of The Destroyer. Now All These Things Happened Unto Them For Ensamples: And They Are Written For Our Admonition, Upon Whom The Ends Of The World Are Come. Wherefore Let Him That Thinketh He Standeth Take Heed Lest He Fall. There Hath No Temptation Taken You But Such As Is Common To Man: But God Is Faithful, Who Will Not Suffer You To Be Tempted Above That Ye Are Able; But Will With The Temptation Also Make A Way To Escape, That Ye May Be Able To Bear It. Wherefore, My Dearly Beloved, Flee From Idolatry. I Speak As To Wise Men; Judge Ye What I Say. 

James 1:12-18 

Blessed Is The Man That Endureth Temptation: For When He Is Tried, He Shall Receive The Crown Of Life, Which The Lord Hath Promised To Them That Love Him. Let No Man Say When He Is Tempted, I Am Tempted Of God: For God Cannot Be Tempted With Evil, Neither Tempted He Any Man: But Every Man Is Tempted, When He Is Drawn Away Of His Own Lust, And Enticed. Then When Lust Hath Conceived, It Bringeth Forth Sin: And Sin, When It Is Finished, Bringeth Forth Death. Do Not Err, My Beloved Brethren. Every Good Gift And Every Perfect Gift Is From Above, And Cometh Down From The Father Of Lights, With Whom Is No Variableness, Neither Shadow Of Turning. Of His Own Will Begat He Us With The Word Of Truth, That We Should Be A Kind Of Firstfruits Of His Creatures.

2 Peter 1:2-13 

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. And Beside This, Giving All Diligence, Add To Your Faith Virtue; And To Virtue Knowledge; And To Knowledge Temperance; And To Temperance Patience; And To Patience Godliness; And To Godliness Brotherly Kindness; And To Brotherly Kindness Charity. For If These Things Be In You, And Abound, They Make You That Ye Shall Neither Be Barren Nor Unfruitful In The Knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But He That Lacketh These Things Is Blind, And Cannot See Afar off, And Hath Forgotten That He Was Purged From His Old Sins. Wherefore The Rather, Brethren, Give Diligence To Make Your Calling And Election Sure: For If Ye Do These Things, Ye Shall Never fall: For So An Entrance Shall Be Ministered Unto You Abundantly Into The Everlasting Kingdom Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. 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;

Galatians 5:22-25 

But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Against Such There Is No Law. 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.

Romans 8:1-18

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. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. 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. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye Through The Spirit Do Mortify The Deeds Of The Body, Ye Shall Live. For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God. 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. The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness With Our Spirit, That We Are The Children Of God: And If Children, Then Heirs; Heirs Of God, And Joint-Heirs With Christ; If So Be That We Suffer With Him, That We May Be Also Glorified Together. For I Reckon That The Sufferings Of This Present Time Are Not Worthy To Be Compared With The Glory Which Shall Be Revealed In Us.

BE STRONG IN THE GRACE THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS

BE STRONG IN THE GRACE THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS

2 Timothy 2:1-4 

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. 

No Good Soldier Entangles Himself With The Affairs Of This Life, Because He Knows That He Could Die Any Second. Paul Is Telling Us To Stay Strong In The Grace That Is In Christ Jesus. Entrust The Gospel Of Christ Jesus To Faithful People So That The Gospel Will Carry On After You Are Gone.

The World Will Always Have It's Problems No Matter What, But The Gospel Is Precious And Worth Dying For.

endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 

2 Timothy 2:23-26 

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.

We Are Never To Argue Over The Gospel Of Christ Jesus, But To Entrust The Gospel To Faithful People.

We Are To Tell The Gospel Of Christ Jesus To Everyone, Who Knows God May Save Them And They Come To The Knowledge Of Truth Through Your Sharing. 

Ephesians 6:10-18

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. 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: PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT, and WATCHING THEREUNTO WITH ALL PERSEVERANCE AND SUPPLICATION FOR ALL SAINTS;

ALL OF THE PIECES OF THE ARMOUR ARE CHRIST JESUS THROUGH FAITH BY GRACE.  

Therefore, Be Strong In The Grace That Is In Christ Jesus. 

We Are To Always Be Praying For All The Children Of God That Is In Christ Jesus; With Perseverance Praying And Watching In The Spirit For All Saints, As A Good Soldier Would Be On The Battlefield In The Heat Of The Battle. 

We Also Need To BE STRONG IN THE GRACE THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS, Because We Are In The Heat Of The Battle. 

Glory To God In The Highest!

LIVE IN THE CLEANSING FORGIVENESS OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD

LIVE IN THE CLEANSING FORGIVENESS OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!

Have you ever made a huge mess?

Let's say you dropped eggs all over your countertop and then laid a raw chicken down on top of the egg; that combination is deadly. 

Now let's clean the deadly mixture; we will get a cloth dampen it with warm water; is that enough to disinfect our counters, or do we just hope so?

We clean our counters and walk away, but we cannot settle in our minds, is the counters really clean.

Then we start to think about the possibility that maybe we just made things worse. We removed the eggs and chicken, but what we just smeared the contamination to the rest of the area of our counters, with our cloth? What if, now our counters and cloth are both contaminated? Wait, what did we do with the contaminated cloth? We just rinsed the cloth in our sink. Now, we cannot help but think that not only our countertops and our cloth are contaminated, but our sink is also. Our minds seem to make a bad thing worse. The more we think, the worse it gets. 

This example is how we are before Salvation; we think we can fix our bad situations ourselves. We seem to believe that we can handle our big problems as well as the small ones. When in reality, we make things worse.

Think about Salvation, we are contaminated with deadly sins, and we ask Jesus Christ to Wash Us Clean and Save us, to give us Eternal Life, Save us from our surety of death. 

Think about what Jesus Christ does, He washes us clean of our sins, and then puts a seal on top of us to keep us clean. Jesus Christ takes His cleansing Agent, His Blood, and washes us, He sterilzes us, and then puts a protective coating around us to keep us clean. The Blood Of Jeus Christ Washes us; The Holy Spirit Seals US Unto The Day Of Redemption. WHEN JESUS CHRIST WASHES SOMEONE CLEAN, HE WASHES THEM CLEAN FOR EVER! 

1 John 1:9 

If we confess our sins, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

1 John 1:7 

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.

Isaiah 1:18 

Come now, and let us reason together, saith The LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Hebrews 7:25 

Wherefore HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME unto GOD BY HIM, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 

Now He which establisheth us with you in Christ, and HATH ANOINTED US, IS GOD; WHO HATH ALSO SEALED US, and given the earnest of The Spirit in our hearts.

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.

Ephesians 1:13-14 

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, WHICH IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.

Ephesians 4:30-32

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.

LIVE IN THE CLEANSING FORGIVENESS OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
