The DOOR of SALVATION.

While the door is still open, for those among us who have not already done so, come to knowledge of the truth: BELIEVE in the only SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

“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” (John 3:16).

“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).

“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 1:19).

Jesus Christ says: “[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).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall [NEVER SEE DEATH]” (John 8:51).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that [HEARETH MY WORD], and [BELIEVETH] on him that sent me, hath [EVERLASTING LIFE], and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).

HEAVENLY versus earthly = IMMORTALITY versus mortality.

Human beings are mortal beings because God created us from the dust of the earth.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7).
The habitation of life on this earth is only for a time.

“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” (Acts 17:26).

For human beings to get from this earth to HEAVEN, our terrestrial or mortal bodies must be changed into CELESTIAL or IMMORTAL bodies.

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption” (1 Corinthians 15:50).

“There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another” (1 Corinthians 15:40).

JESUS is the ONLY person that GOD has given POWER to change earthly to HEAVENLY bodies (John 5:25-29).

“The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Corinthians 15:47–49, 45).

On the Last Day, the Day of Judgment, when Jesus descends from heaven on the sound of the last trumpet, to live forever, our frame must be changed from “clay” to “LIGHT” to become a quickening spririt (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18); just as our Lord, Savior and King when he was raised from the dead (Luke 24:39).

“Wherefore God saith: ‘Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light’” (Ephesians 5:14).

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51).

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [LAST TRUMP]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this [MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY]” (1 Corinthians 15:52–53).

Human beings who are not changed from earth to HEAVENLY will be cast into the Lake of Fire!

“O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters” (Jeremiah 17:13).

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:7).
“The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb” (Revelation 14:10).

“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).

Do you know the way to the PARADISE OF GOD?

In the traffic of this lifetime, there will be many roads travelled to many destinations. But, know this fact, there is only one road which leads to the Paradise of God (Revelation 2:7)!

While this road is still here today before this heaven and earth passes away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10), get hold of the coordinates to find and stay in the right direction on this road.

What are the coordinates?

There is only one man who knows the way, and he is the ONLY begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18).

“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).

What is his name?

His name is JESUS CHRIST.

“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).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

R I S E N versus Fallen.

The choice is unquestionably straight forward whom to follow:– 1) a Savior who is RISEN and lives forever or 2) a Destroyer who is FALLEN and will die forever?

Who we follow in our lifetime will determine our outcome on the Last Day. Who are you following: 1) the One who is RISEN or 2) the one who is FALLEN?

The devil, aka Satan, whose name is Lucifer, the once anointed cherub (Ezekiel 28:13–15) or prince is a fallen “son of God, also referred to as the “son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3), and his angels were cast out of heaven to the nether part of this earth (2 Peter 2:4): “and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth” (Revelation 12:4).

“These are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise” (Psalm 36:12).

On the other hand, God sent his only begotten Son Jesus Christ to this earth to die for the sins of 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” (John 3:16-17).

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God says: “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).

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

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me” (John 12:32).

“IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. [WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, SHALL APPEAR, THEN SHALL YE ALSO APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY]” (Colossians 3:1-4).

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, is the author of Eternal Salvation.

Lucifer, the fallen son of wickedness, the prince of this world, is the author of confusion.

At the end of time,

Kingdom of Confusion will finally be FALLEN with an EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION (Isaiah 24:19 ) (Micah 1:3–4) (Revelation 14:11, 20:15);

Kingdom of GOD will finally be RISEN with an ETERNAL SALVATION (Daniel 12:1) (Joel 2:31-32) (1 Corinthians 15:24) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) (Revelation 13:8-9).

Overcoming this world to the End.

“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” (1 John 5:5–6).

“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” (1 John 5:9–10).

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:1-3).

“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 same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

“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).

“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels” (Revelation 3:5).

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches”
(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).

GOD is the GLORY great things he has done; he has given us his only begotten SON to SAVE US at the End of the world!

“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. 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).

Unless we believed in the “only begotten Son of God” the Holy Scriptures is very clear when it says: “…he that believeth not is condemned already…”.

“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

Jesus’ kingdom is in the HEAVENS.

Jesus is not coming to setup on this earth his kingdom to reign for a mellenium as it is held by doctines and believed by untold numbers of people.

Do not be deceived!

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, [BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS]” (Hebrews 1:1–2).
During the trial before his crucifixion, Pilate wanted to know more about who Jesus really was. Pilate specifically asked him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” (John 18:33).

Jesus answered, ‘[MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD]: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; [BUT NOW IS MY KINGDOM NOT FROM HENCE]’” (John 18:36).

Jesus spoke these words to his disciples before he left this earth saying: “I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I” (John 14:28).

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2–3).

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and [I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“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).

ETERNITY: PARADISE or Perdition?

GOD is the MOST POWERFUL (Genesis 1:1) (Psalm 62:11) (Jeremiah 32:26-27).

GOD give his only begotten SON ALL POWER in HEAVEN and EARTH (Matthew 28:18) (Revelation 1:18).

Why would any person not want to follow the most powerful human being to PARADISE? (John 3:16-17).

Why would any person want to follow the prince of this world, the devil, aka Satan into the Lake of Fire: Perdition? (Revelation 20:11, 14:11).

The choice is clear: ETERNAL LIFE OR EVERLASTING PUNINSHMENT?

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).

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to [REPENTANCE]” (Luke 5:32).

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

WAR?

A war of RIGTHEOUSNESS versus Unrigteousness; GOOD versus Evil; LIGHT versus Darkness or BELIEVERS versus Unbelievers!

Every day when we awake in this world to face another day, the war raging on this earth may not be readily apparent, but it is raging, because the Apostle Paul pointed out, saying: “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” (Ephesians 6:12).

“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil” (Romans 13:3).

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: [FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP HATH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH UNRIGHTEOUSNESS]? and [WHAT COMMUNION HATH LIGHT WITH DARKNESS[? And [WHAT CONCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL]? or [WHAT PART HATH HE THAT BELIEVETH WITH AN INFIDEL]?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).

“Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:11-12).

The Apostle Paul also reminds us said: “fight the good fight,” “keep the faith,” and “finish the course” to the end (2 Timothy 4:7).

GOD is CREATOR is the FATHER and JESUS is his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON is the SAVIOR.

“‘Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’” (Jeremiah 32:26-27).

“The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1).

“For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made” (Isaiah 57:16).

“And in the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained” (Acts 17:30-31).

“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).

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, [BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS]” (Hebrews 1:1–2).

On the APPOINTED DAY: the Last Day, the Day of Judgment, only God knows (Matthew 24:36): “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:7).

“The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, but God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another” (Psalm 75:3, 7).

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

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “My
kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36).

“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).
