S A L V A T I O N.

Unfortunately, untold numbers of people are holding on to beliefs and doctrines that by being in a particular church denomination that they will be automatically going to heaven.

There is no need for anyone to force their beliefs on others. Too much time is wasted debating who is right or wrong. However, let us be reminded that only “…God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5), and “there is no unrighteousness in him” (Psalm 92:15).

Also, let us be reminded of the words of Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles who said:
“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a [HOLYDAY], or of the new moon, [OR OF THE SABBATH DAYS]: which are a [SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME]; but [THE BODY IS OF CHRIST]” (Colossians 2:16–17).

“And he is the [HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH]: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence” (Colossians 1:18).

Paul made it clear that the Sabbath Days are a shadow of things to come (Isaiah 66:22–23). Moreover, Peter and the disciples also then reiterated and emphasized to the Gentiles, saying: “For it seemed [GOOD TO THE HOLY GHOST, AND TO US, TO LAY UPON YOU NO GREATER BURDEN THAN THESE NECESSARY THINGS]; that ye [ABSTAIN FROM MEATS OFFERED TO IDOLS, AND FROM BLOOD, AND FROM THINGS STRANGLED, AND FROM FORNICATION: FROM WHICH IF YE KEEP YOURSELVES], ye shall do well. Fare ye well” (Acts 15:28–29).

Today, people all over this earth should focus less on religion, race and riches (or lack of) and instead seek to be RIGHTEOUS because there is only “one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ” (Ephesians 4:5-7).

Every human being is responsible for their own SALVATION.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Therefore, the Apostle Paul reminded us, said: “[WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION] with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; [THAT YE MAY BE SINCERE AND WITHOUT OFFENCE TILL THE DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

GOSPEL OF GOD being preached in the House of God?

Today, there are innumerable church denominations that have have developed since the time of the early churches. However, we are to be very careful when we decide to seek fellowship in any church because the word of God says:

“[KEEP THY FOOT WHEN THOU GOEST TO THE HOUSE OF GOD], and [BE MORE READY TO HEAR], than to give the [SACRIFICE OF FOOLS: FOR THEY CONSIDER NOT THAT THEY DO EVIL]” (Ecclesiastes 5:1).

“[HE THAT BURNETH INCENSE], as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations” (Isaiah 66:3).

“The LORD is far from the wicked: but [HE HEARETH THE PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS]” (Proverbs 15:29).

“[THE SACRIFICE OF THE WICKED IS AN ABOMINATION] to the LORD: but [THE PRAYER OF THE UPRIGHT IS HIS DELIGHT]. The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but [HE LOVETH HIM THAT FOLLOWETH AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Proverbs 15:8-9).

“For the time is come that [JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD]: and if it first begin at us, [WHAT SHALL THE END BE OF THEM THAT OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF GOD]? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:17-18).

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God is very clear when he comes, says: “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).

“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” (Matthew 7:21-23). “And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: [THERE SHALL BE WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH]” (Matthew 13:42).

“Then shall the [RIGHTEOUS] shine forth as the sun in the [KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER]. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 13:42-43).

“For many are called, but [FEW ARE CHOSEN]” (Matthew 22:14).

“Fear not, [LITTLE FLOCK]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

The Apostle Paul reminded us, said: “[WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION] with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; [THAT YE MAY BE SINCERE AND WITHOUT OFFENCE TILL THE DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

Doctrine of CHRIST (Hebrews 6:1-7) or church doctrines?

Too much time is wasted debating, dissenting and disputing the word of God instead of building the house of God, “Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” (2 Timothy 1:9).

Notwithstanding the proliferation of religions and church denominations, there is only one building of the Kingdom of God through the Holy Spirit, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom all the building fitly framed together to grow to the end of time unto a holy temple in the Lord (Ephesians 2:20–22).

At the end of time, it is not a specific religion or church denomination as it is the doctrines of many that will be redeemed from this earth. We are to beware of adhering to the doctrines of men; we should obtain knowledge of and obey the word of God. Jesus warned of this very fact when he sent his angel with letters to the early seven churches in the Book of Revelation by John (Revelation 1:11).

“[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” (James 1:17).

“[FOR MANY DECEIVERS] are entered into the world, [WHO CONFESS NOT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH]. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the [DOCTRINE OF CHRIST], hath not God. [HE THAT ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, HE HATH BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON]. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” (2 John 1:7, 9-11).

When King Jesus was here on this earth he was asked about his doctrine.

“Jesus answered them, and said, ‘[MY DOCTRINE IS NOT MINE, BUT HIS THAT SENT ME]. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him’” (John 7:16-18).

“[ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL], who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the [GIFT OF CHRIST]” (Ephesians 4:5-7).

RIGHTEOUSNESS ONLY in the NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH.

“The LORD liveth, in [TRUTH], in [JUDGMENT], and in [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Jeremiah 4:2).

“[ALL SCRIPTURE] is given by [INSPIRATION OF GOD], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (2 Timothy 3:16).

“Knowing this first, that [NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION]. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:19–21).

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4).

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (2 Peter 3:13).

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).

The LAST DAY on earth is the DAY OF JUDGMENT (Matthew 24:36) (Revelation 20:11-15).

The time is soon coming when it will be the LAST DAY of habitation of life on this earth. Unfortunately, there are untold numbers of people too busy with the things of this world ignoring these words as they are being written. This is very, very, very serious because the outcomes will be FOREVER!

On the LAST DAY on this earth, there will be just two outcomes:
1) EVERLASTING LIFE in PARADISE.
2) Everlasting Contempt in Perdition.

To get to PARADISE, God have given human beings a SAVIOR, his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON whose name is JESUS.

Before it is too late, get to know JESUS!

“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).

“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).

“And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to [EVERLASTING LIFE], and some to shame and [EVERLASTING CONTEMPT]” (Daniel 12:2).

“There is therefore now [NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK] not after the flesh, but [AFTER THE SPIRIT]” (Romans 8:1).

“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]” (Galatians 6:7-8).

TRENDING: JESUS is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD and he is the ONLY SAVIOR of the HUMAN RACE.

“O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD” (Jeremiah 22:29).

“Look unto me, and be ye [SAVED], [ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH]: for [I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE]” (Isaiah 45:22).

“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).

“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).

“[THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE], as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to [REPENTANCE].

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God says: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: [REPENT] ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“[EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH]” (Luke 13:3).

“[HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY], but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, [LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH], wherein dwelleth [RIGHTEOUSNESS].

Wherefore, beloved, [SEEING THAT YE LOOK FOR SUCH THINGS], be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless” (2 Peter 3:13-14).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the [TREE OF LIFE], which is in the midst of the [PARADISE OF GOD]” (Revelation 2:7).

Do you know JESUS?

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

“[I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD]: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).

“[I AM THE DOOR]: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).

“[I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE]. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die” (John 6:48, 51).

“[I AM THE VINE], ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me” (John 15:5, 4).

“[I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD]: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).

“[I AM THE RESURRECTION, AND THE LIFE]: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (John 11:25–26).

“[I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE]: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39–40).

“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” (1 John 5:13).

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. [I AM THE ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID], and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16).

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

TRENDING: GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IS PREACHED OVER THE WORLD!

“For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.’ [FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4).

“The time is fulfilled, and the [KINGDOM OF GOD] is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

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

“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).

TRENDING: FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST ARE GROWING ALL OVER THE WORLD!

“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).

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God says:

“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39–40).

“The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

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

“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).

“[HE THAT SOWETH THE GOOD SEED IS THE SON OF MAN]; the field is the world; [THE GOOD SEED ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM]; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the Devil; [THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE WORLD]; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [THEN SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER]” (Matthew 13:37–43).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, even unto the [END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

DAY of the LORD.

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

Let us rejoice today because Jesus says: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” (Matthew 6:34).

James, the brother of Jesus also said: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that” (Jmaes 4:14-15).

“NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that [THE DAY OF CHRIST IS AT HAND].

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because [GOD HATH FROM THE BEGINNING CHOSEN YOU TO SALVATION] through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, [TO THE OBTAINING OF THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST].

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2, 14-15).
