Awake to KNOWLEGDE OF GOD.

When will the world wake up to Knowledge of God, and follow Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God?

“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the [KNOWLEDGE OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 15:34).

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the [KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH]” (1 Timothy 2:3-4).

“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” (John 3:16-17).

“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” (John 3:18).

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now [COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT]: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will [JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS] by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38).

“The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that [BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that [BELIEVETH NOT THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE]; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:35-36).

“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth” (Revelation 11:18).

TIME is coming to an END (Revelation 11:18).

In the Book of Revelation John revealed, said: “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. And he had in his hand a little book open; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be [TIME NO LONGER]” (Revelation 10:1–2, 6).

As we ponder this passage of Scripture, and look around this world today, let us not be misled into believing that we have time because all seems so set in place on this earth.

All the countries, nations, and kingdoms of this world will become desolate and laid to waste when the earth is finally melted away (2 Peter 3:12).

“For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place” (Micah 1:3–4).

“The [DAY OF THE LORD] will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).

Now therefore, while there is time today, and we are alive, we must do as Jesus says: “…repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15) because should we die before doing so, there is no other lifetime. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Jesus issued a warning for those who do not believe in him (John 3:16-18) (Acts 10:43): “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the Last Day” (John 12:48).

DAY of the LORD.

“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

Every day that passes by is one more day closer to the end of the world, and the coming of our Lord, Savior and King Jesus Christ (Matthew 13:37-43, 24:1-4, 36) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) (Revelation 11:18, 20:12-15).

However, Jesus says: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:37).

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

Believe in God? Believe in Jesus?

The irony is that throughout the ages to this day, untold numbers of people proclaim “I believe in God” or “I believe there is a God” and so on; yet, refuse to believe in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus.

“[NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD] at any time; [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

How can anyone believe in God or believe that there is a God who they have not seen?

If anyone believes in God or there is God then logically speaking the same belief must be in Jesus the only begotten Son of God because he is in the bosom of the Father.

“For there is [ONE GOD], and [ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN], the man [CHRIST JESUS]: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

“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” (John 3:16-17).

“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” (John 3:18).

“The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that [BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that [BELIEVETH NOT THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE]; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:35-36).

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38).

“LET not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me” (John 14:1).

F A I T H in GOD and JESUS CHRIST or Riches of the world?

Our lifetime on this earth is filled with ups and downs, twists and turns and so on, However, there is no escaping the the word of God: TRUTH (Luke 16:13) (John 3:16-18).

James, the brother of Jesus asked: “Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” (James 2:5).

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

James also asked, “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?” (James 2:14).

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17).

“Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 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.’ Ye see then how that by [WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED], and not by faith only” (James 2:21–24).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) asks: “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he [FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH]?” (Luke 18:8).

“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” (Matthew 7:21).

When Jesus was here on earth he was asked “What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?” (John 6:28).

“Jesus answered and said unto them, ‘[THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD], that ye [BELIEVE ON HIM WHOM HE HATH SENT]’” (John 6:29).

“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” (John 3:16-18).

Our Lifetime: What is it about?

It’s not about how brilliant we are;

It’s not about how much money we have;

It’s not about how much possessions we owned;

It’s not about how well known we are;

It’s not about us:

Our lifetime on this earth is all about how much FAITH we have in GOD!

“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” (Hebrews 11:6).

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

“[NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD] at any time; [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

“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” (John 3:16-17)

JESUS, the only begotten Son of God asks: “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find [FAITH] on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draws 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” (Hebrews 10:38–39).

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17).

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 4:26).

The LORD is G O D.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually” (1 Chronicles 16:11).

“Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture” (Psalm 100:2-3).

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6).

“Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name” (Amos 5:8).

“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” (Hebrews 11:6).

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).

“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:17–21).

“The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever” (Psalm 22:26).

“The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever” (Psalm 37:18).

“Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore” (Psalms 105:3-4, 113:3).

Seek to be FOREVER with GOD = SALVATION = ETERNAL LIFE.

“[NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD] at any time; [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

“For there is [ONE GOD], and [ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN], the man [CHRIST JESUS]: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

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” (John 3:16-18).

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31).

“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 DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED]. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto [SALVATION]” (Romans 10:8-10).

J E S U S is from and is now in H E A V E N.

Jesus is NOT coming back to this earth to reign for a 1000 years on this earth; Jesus is coming at the end of the world on the Last Day for the Day of Judgment (Matthew 24:36) (Acts 17:30-31) (Revelation 11:18, 20:12–15).

Jesus’ kingdom in in HEAVEN!

God sent his only begotten Son JESUS to this earth for “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:32).

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen” (Romans 11:33-36).
