Did you take up the cross this morning?

We must DAILY take up the CROSS OF JESUS knowing that it is the POWER OF GOD unto SALVATION (John 1:1-4; 14; 3:16-18; 14:1-6).

“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]. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe” (1 Corinthians 1:18–19, 21).

Our Lord Jesus warned, says: “[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“[AND HE THAT TAKETH NOT HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOWETH AFTER ME, IS NOT WORTHY OF ME]” (Matthew 10:38).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and [HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL]. [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY SERVANT BE]: [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, HIM WILL MY FATHER HONOUR]” (John 12:25-26).

“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).

Now then, as THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE THINGS THAT ARE ETERNAL IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST who died for us; for this purpose then WE SHOULD LIVE UNTO HIM AND NOT UNTO OURSELVES (2 Corinthians 5:15).

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

“Finally, my brethren, [BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT]” (Ephesians 6:10).

“The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen” (2 Timothy 4:22).

Is this on your agenda today?

“[AND HE THAT TAKETH NOT HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOWETH AFTER ME, IS NOT WORTHY OF ME]” (Matthew 10:38).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and [HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL]. [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY SERVANT BE]: [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, HIM WILL MY FATHER HONOUR]” (John 12:25-26).

Now then, as THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE THINGS THAT ARE ETERNAL IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST who died for us; for this purpose then WE SHOULD LIVE UNTO HIM AND NOT UNTO OURSELVES (2 Corinthians 5:15).

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).

“Finally, my brethren, [BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT]” (Ephesians 6:10).

“The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen” (2 Timothy 4:22).

FAITH: How are you living your lifetime: by sight or by FAITH?

God is a FAITHFUL God and we must do our best in our lifetime to keep FAITHFUL in Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God.

“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

“For ye are all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

“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).

“[SEEK] ye the LORD [WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND, CALL YE UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR]” (Isaiah 55:6).

“[SEEK] the LORD and his strength, [SEEK HIS FACE CONTINUALLY]” (1 Chronicles 16:11).

“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]” (Psalm 105:3-4).

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel [FROM EVERLASTING, AND TO EVERLASTING]. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 41:13).

God IS FAIHFUL: Whatever we are facing today or will face in our lifetime let us remember that God is FAITHFUL as long as we remain FAITHFUL to God.

Peter, JESUS’ disciple encouraged us, said: “Beloved, [THINK IT NOT STRANGE CONCERNING THE FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU], as though some strange thing happened unto you: But [REJOICE, INASMUCH AS YE ARE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS]; that, [WHEN HIS GLORY SHALL BE REVEALED, YE MAY BE GLAD ALSO WITH EXCEEDING JOY].

[WHEREFORE LET THEM THAT SUFFER ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD] commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator” (1 Peter 4:12-13, 19).

The Apostle Paul said: “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” (Romans 8:18).

James, the brother of Jesus expressed, said: “[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” (James 1:12).

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto [ETERNAL LIFE]” (Jude 1:21).

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Philippians 4:23).

LIGHT and SALVATION: To escape the darkness at the End of the world human beings must obtain the LIGHT required for SALVATION (Matthew 24:35-36).

God the LORD is the LIGHT and His Only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus is the LIGHT of the world.

“[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).

The disciple John said: “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).

“[FOR EVERY ONE THAT DOETH EVIL HATETH THE LIGHT], neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But [HE THAT DOETH TRUTH COMETH TO THE LIGHT], that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God” (John 3:20-21).

“[AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION], that [LIGHT] is come into the world, [AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT], because their deeds were evil.  [FOR EVERY ONE THAT DOETH EVIL HATETH THE LIGHT, NEITHER COMETH TO THE LIGHT], lest his deeds should be reproved. [BUT HE THAT DOETH TRUTH COMETH TO THE LIGHT], that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God” (John 3:19-21).

“[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).

JESUS says: “[BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD] of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28). “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: [THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE]” (John 6:63).

“[I AM COME A LIGHT INTO THE WORLD, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON ME SHOULD NOT ABIDE IN DARKNESS]’” (John 12:46).

“[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).

“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:5).

 “[WHO IS AMONG YOU THAT FEARETH] the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God” (Isaiah 50:10).

“[LIGHT IS SOWN FOR THE RIGHTEOUS], and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness” (Psalm 97:11-12).

“They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to [RIGHTEOUSNESS] as the stars forever and ever” (Daniel 12:3).

“The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their [INHERITANCE SHALL BE FOREVER]” (Psalm 37:18).

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).

“[SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE]: and [I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE] of the LORD [FOR EVER]” (Psalm 23:6).

“To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).

GOOD FRIDAY: God’s LOVE for human beings – SALVATION (John 3:16).

We must take a moment of silence in prayer this Good Friday to acknowledge the magnitude of God’s love for humankind (John 1:1-4, 14, 3:16-18).

It doesn’t matter who we are in this world, if we want to be freed from this earth on the Last Day to make it to the next world without an end in New Heavens and a New Earth (Isaiah 65:17-18) (John 3:16-18, 14:2–3) (Ephesians 3:9-12) (2 Peter 3:13) (Revelation 21:1-2), the word of God says:

“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).

“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. 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” (Isaiah 53:4-5,7).

“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. [FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE]” (1 Corinthians 15:21–22).

“For ye are dead, and your [LIFE] is hid with Christ in God]” (Colossians 3:3).

“That whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15).

“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). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

God the Father is EVERLASTING and His Only Begotten is ALIVE FOREVER, and they are the ONLY ONES who can give human beings EVERLASTING LIFE (John 5:21-24) (Revelation 22:1-6).

“[For ye are dead, and your [LIFE] is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).

“[FOR AS THE FATHER RAISETH UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM; EVEN SO THE SON QUICKENETH WHOM HE WILL]. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: [THAT ALL MEN SHOULD HONOUR THE SON, EVEN AS THEY HONOUR THE FATHER]. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 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 5:21-24).

DO NOT gamble with SALVATION because on the Last Day habitation of life will cease FOREVER on this earth. On the LAST DAY every human being will either obtain EVERLASTING LIFE or the Second Death in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15)?

Now is the TIME to REPENT of your SINS and BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST to inherit EVERLASTING LIFE on the Last Day in the World Without End in New Heavens and a New Earth (Isaiah 65:17-18) (Revelation 21:1-5).

Jesus Christ warns, says: “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for [IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM HE, YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS]” (John 8:24).

“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).

“[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 3:16-18).

“[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).

“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).

“[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).

“[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.

[AND WHITHER I GO YE KNOW, AND THE WAY YE KNOW].

Thomas saith unto him, ‘Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?’

Jesus saith unto him, ‘[I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME]’” (John 14:2-6).

“[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).

The CROSS OF JESUS is the POWER OF GOD to obtain EVERLASTING LIFE to get to be with GOD in EVERLASTING HABITATIONS. DO NOT FORGET today to take up the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST.

“[BLESSED] is the man that [HEARETH ME, WATCHING DAILY] at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors” (Proverbs 8:34).

JESUS says: “[BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD] of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28)

“[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

“Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32)

“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” (Mark 8:37-38).

“[TAKE YE HEED, WATCH AND PRAY]: for ye know not when the time is” (Mark 13:33).

“[TAKE HEED, BRETHREN], lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. [FOR WE ARE MADE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEDFAST UNTO THE END]” (Hebrews 3:12-14).

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto [ETERNAL LIFE]” (Jude 1:21).

“For ye are all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Are you WAITING DAILY on Jesus Christ? We must take up DAILY the CROSS and FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST to be WAITING DAILY on our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:38) (Luke 9:23)!

Are you WAITING DAILY on Jesus Christ? We must take up DAILY the CROSS and FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST to be WAITING DAILY on our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:38) (Luke 9:23)!

“Blessed is the man that [HEARETH ME, WATCHING DAILY] at my gates, [WAITING] at the posts of my doors” (Proverbs 8:34).

“It is good that a man should [BOTH HOPE AND QUIETLY WAIT] for the [SALVATION] of the LORD” (Lamentation 3:26).

JESUS, the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, the SALVATION OF GOD (John 1:1-3, 14, 3:16-18) (1 John 5:7–8), 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).

“For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

“[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).

“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).

“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).

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because strait is the gate, and [NARROW IS THE WAY, WHICH LEADETH UNTO LIFE], and [FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT]” (Matthew 7:13–14).

“[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME: AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE]; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [MY FATHER, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE]” (John 10:27-30).

“[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).

GOOD FRIDAY: JESUS CRUCIFIED AND DIED ON THE CROSS AT THE NINTH HOUR (Mark 15:33-34. 38-39).

Today and every day of our lives when we drink a glass of water especially when we are thirsty, let us be reminded how much our Lord Jesus sacrificed for us on the DAY he was CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS.

On the day our Lord Jesus was crucified, it was a very hot day as he suffered in the heat assuredly he requested a drink of water. However, the Roman soldiers did not give JESUS water to drink: “[THEY GAVE HIM VINEGAR TO DRINK MINGLED WITH GALL]: and [WHEN HE HAD TASTED THEREOF, HE WOULD NOT DRINK]” (Matthew 27:34).

“And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which is, being interpreted, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’ And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, ‘[TRULY THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD]”’ (Mark 15:33-34. 38-39).

Jesus was crucified along with two thieves. It was customary after a crucifixion to break the legs; however, “when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs; but, one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water” (John 19:33–34).

“[AND HE THAT SAW IT BARE RECORD AND HIS RECORD IS TRUE]: and he knoweth that he saith true, [THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE]” (John 19:35).

This record of blood and water which came out of the pierced side of Jesus is significant as spoken of by John when he asked:

“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).

“[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]” (Romans 8:16-17).

“[JESUS CHRIST] the same [YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

GOOD FRIDAY: JESUS CHRIST’S SACRIFICE FOR THE WORLD (Matthew 9:13). We must take a moment of silence in prayer this Good Friday to acknowledge the magnitude of God’s love for humankind (John 1:1-4, 14, 3:16-18).

“[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]. 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]” (Isaiah 53:4-5,7).

It doesn’t matter who we are in this world, if we want to be freed from this earth on the Last Day to make it to the next World Without End in New Heavens and a New Earth (Isaiah 65:17-18) (John 3:16-18, 14:2–3) (Ephesians 3:9-12) (2 Peter 3:13) (Revelation 21:1-2), the word of God says:

“[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).

“[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3).

“[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). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

“To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).
