How To Deal With Guilt. Is Godly Sorrow Repentance? What Is Godly Sorrow?

Feeling Guilt, Sorrow: The Hardest Person To Forgive Is Yourself.

Guilt / Sorrow, Stays with Us. Godly Sorrow and Repentance are Taught Incorrectly / Unbiblically to Deceive Everyone. You cannot undo what you have Done. You can Stop Letting your Past Control your Future though.

Isaiah 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Philippians 3:13 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,”

Jesus Doesn’t want us to Dwell on our Past.

No matter how Guilty we might Feel about the Bad we have done, we have to Let the Past Go, and Move on. Jesus also doesn’t want us to Dwell on an Amazingly Good Past we might have. He wants us to Keep moving Forward, Striving to Do our Best always. People who have a Great Past often Stop moving Forward thinking: “Look at All the Good I have done…” They just Stop and Rest thinking they have done enough Good already…

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

1st Corinthians 9:23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Few People will Actually Let you Forget your Past.

Sometimes that means you will Have to get a Divorce and Start Over. Yes, it is Better to say Goodbye to Everyone you know and Start Over Fresh than to Let People who refuse to Let you Live in Peace Destroy the Rest of your Life.

People are Not Good at Forgiving, and Forgetting. People are Huge Hypocrites. They will point Fingers at you when they are Secretly Guilty of much Worse than you are.

God Forgives, and He will Never Remember Your Sins.

2nd Samuel 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 

Isaiah 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.   

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 

1st John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Christianity is Not Based on Penance, on Guilt.

Doing Penance and being full of Guilt is Catholic False Doctrine that Baptist’s and other Religions push too.

On the Cross Jesus Said:

Luke 23:34 “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…” 

“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…” Christianity is Based on Forgiveness Not Guilt.

Contrary to Popular Opinion the Bible is Full of Mercy, Comfort, Forgiveness.

Psalms 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; 18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Jesus is Merciful:

Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Jesus Does Not Want Christians to Live their Lives Consumed with Guilt and Shame over the Evil they have Done.

Why then do Most Religions push Penance, Guilt?

They are Pushing a False Gospel of Repent of Sin. They incorrectly define Repentance / Repent.

Explaining Godly Sorrow:

2nd Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Notice This Passage does Not Say to Repent of Sin. Sin is Not Even Mentioned.

The entire Passage:

2nd Corinthians 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. 13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. 15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

In this passage Passage Paul is Not saying that Repentance / to Repent means to Repent of Sin. He is Not saying that Repentance / Repent is being Sorry over Sin.

It is Clear that Repent means to Change your mind. Paul changed his mind (Repents) a few times in this passage.

Godly Sorrow:

Godly Sorrow. What is Godly Sorrow?

Godly Sorrow is being Sorry for the Right Reasons.

The Right Reasons:

Sorry for your Evil Ungodly Behavior. Sorry for your Sin.

Sorrow for your Rage, Anger. Sorry for hurting other people. Sorry for Swearing, Adultery, Fornication (Having Sex outside of marriage.), Hitting someone, etc…

The Wrong Reasons:

Sorrow for not getting the job you wanted.

Sorrow because someone caught you lying.

Sorrow because someone discovered the real you.

Some people are Not Sorry about Anything they have ever done.

They feel there is No Right, No Wrong. They get this teaching from their teacher’s in School’s in Colleges from Atheist’s.

At a young age I knew things I did was wrong. I am Sorry for too many things to count that I have done wrong, before and after I was Saved.

One thing Godly Sorrow is Not is Repentance.

2nd Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Godly Sorrow is separate from Repentance. It worketh Repentance: Godly Sorrow causes a person to Repent. So Godly Sorrow is not Repentance.

Repent means to Change your mind. Repentance in Salvation means you changed your mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

A person who is Sorry is Penitent. The Cambridge Dictionary definition of Penitent: Showing that you are sorry for something you have done because you feel it was wrong:

“I’m sorry,” she said with a penitent smile.

“It was hard to be mad at him when he looked so penitent.”

Godly Sorrow is being Penitent.

2nd Corinthians 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. {after…: or, according to God} 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort…

False Churches / Teachers say you cannot be Saved unless you have the Required Amount of Sorrow… They teach you have to have an Overpowering amount of Sorrow to be Saved.

How can anyone measure a person’s Sorrow? To say if it is enough or it is not enough for Salvation??? If you do not have the right amount of Sorrow than they say you are not Saved.

God does not measure our Sorrow and say OK now you are Sorrowful enough to be Saved.

Your Amount of Sorrow does not Save you. Being Sorry for your Sins does not Save you.

Your Sorrow for your Sins, makes you realize you are a Lost Sinner. Realizing you are a Sinner shows you that you are Guilty of Breaking God’s Law.

1st John 3:4 “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”

To be Saved:

You have to realize that you are a Sinner.

There is No Amount of Sorrow For Your Sins that you Need to Have. You must Only Realize / Acknowledge that you are a Sinner. To Understand you are a Sinner, Lost, Deserving to Die and go to Hell / The Lake of Fire. You must realize you are not righteous (Good enough to Save yourself).

The Reason for this, is because to Be Saved you have to Realize that you are Lost, in Need of a Savior, in Need of Jesus to Save you.

Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”

God’s Law requires Justice. The Penalty for Sin is Death.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Jesus paid the Penalty for all of our Sins. Jesus Died, was Buried, and he Rose again on the 3rd day to Save us from Hell.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. {in due time: or, according to the time} 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. {atonement: or, reconciliation} 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: {for that: or, in whom} 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) {by one man’s…: or, by one offence} 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. {by the offence…: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness…: or, by one righteousness} 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

To be Saved from Hell: Believe on Jesus Only to Save you. Ask Jesus to Save you.

Romans: 10:8 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; 9 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

What Is A Born Again Christian? Solving Salvation Confusion.

Born Again?

John 3:3 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. 4 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?

In the Book of John Jesus tells people over and over again how to Be Saved.

Salvation, How to Be Saved is All throughout the Bible. The Importance of the Book of John is that “The Man Christ Jesus, Jesus God in the flesh,” is talking one on one with people and telling them clearly how to be Saved.

When Jesus Speaks you should be Listening. I Love my Read Letter Edition Bibles. I like to see Jesus Words in Red, because Jesus words should stand out from all the other words.

Some Churches will give out the Book of John and the Book of Romans for people to read when they are doing Evangelism. Because those two Books are from Start to Finish Salvation Passages.

If you are a Soul winner you should carry some Free New Testament Bibles to hand out when you go out Soul Winning.

People always ask: “What Book in the Bible should I read first?”

I tell them: “Read the book of John over and over again until you understand it. Then read the Book of Romans over and over again until you understand it. These two Books will tell you how to be Saved. Please call me after you have read them. We can talk about Salvation, How to Be Saved.”

In Evangelism, do Not Rush people. Evangelism is all about planting seeds, talking to the same people, if possible, over and over again.

Do Not Listen to Dispensationalists. Most Baptists are Dispensationalists, they throw out 90% of the Bible.

They Throw out the Entire Old Testament. They Throw out Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans, Hebrews and the Book of Revelation. They say those books are All for the Jews Only.

Sure they will say you can learn from those Books. But they Falsely Claim that you can Not apply any Doctrine from those Books for the Christian Church.

Truthfully they are All over the Place on what they Teach. They will say you cannot take Doctrine from the Old Testament but when they get into a Conversation about Church Doctrine with a Christian that knows the Bible they will Always go to the Old Testament to Defend their False Doctrine.

False Baptist Teachers (It is Not just the Baptists. I mention the Baptists because they are the most Arrogant about their Bible Knowledge which is Funny / Ironic because they throw out nearly the entire Bible. Except when they are having to try to defend their False Doctrines. Then they run to the Old Testament… These Frauds are Not to be Believed because they are always contradicting themselves. They Thrive on people who are just as Ignorant as they are.) Hate the Books of John, Romans, and Hebrews.

The Books, of John, Romans, and Hebrews teach how to Be Saved and they All refute Calvinism, Dispensationalism, the Repent of Sin False Gospel.

When anyone tells you: “The Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans and Hebrews are Jewish Old Testament Books…” walk away from them. If you hear this in Church, get up and walk out.

Yes, I am telling you to get up and Walk out of Church, if you are being Lied to. I have gotten my Family up more than once and walked out of Churches that were teaching Lies. We left right in the middle of the Service. Yes, this upset the Pastor’s. They made rude remarks at us as we Left…

There is Nothing Holy about a Church Building. There is Nothing Holy About a Church Service Lead by a Lost False Teacher. So yes Do Not waste your time in a Church that has a Lost Pastor.

John Chapter 3

John Chapter 3 is the Most Hated Chapter in the Bible for Lost False Teachers like, Calvinists / Baptists / Dispensationalists. These three are usually all one and the same. Most Baptists are Calvinists and Dispensationalists.

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 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. 4 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? 5 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. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 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. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

In the above passage John 3:1-21 Jesus is telling Nicodemus how to Be Saved.

Read this passage over and over and over again until you realize Everything Jesus is Telling Nicodemus.

Jesus is Preaching Eternal Security, Eternal Salvation.

Born Again

Born Again means Salvation is a One Time Event that cannot be undone. A Baby is Born. The Birth of a Baby is a One time Event.

Being Born Again is a One Time Event.

Just like the Birth of a Baby Salvation is a One Time Occurrence.

The Birth of a Baby happens at a specific time. Salvation happens ONLY ONCE at a Specific Time.

Salvation is Not a Process. Being Born is Not a Process that Happens Gradually over Time. Sure a Woman might be in Labor for 20 hours. But the Birth of a Baby happens when the Baby is outside of the Womb and is Breathing Air. The actual Birth of the Baby, the Baby coming out of the womb is Not a long drawn out process. One second the Baby is in the Womb and in the next few seconds the Baby is delivered and is out of the womb and crying…

Salvation is as Certain as the Birth of a Baby. It is a Clear One time Event that cannot ever be undone.

Being Born Again is the New Birth.

John 3:3 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.

These verses talk about Being Born Again, the New Birth, being a New Man in Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Note: Please Read the Entire Chapter, Ephesians 4, it explains the New Birth, Christians having both their Saved New Man and their Old Man inside of them, in their body. The Internal Battle Against Sin. The Daily Struggle Against Living the Life they Lived Before they were Born Again.

Note: please understand my Blogs are Bible Studies. You will get the most out of them by opening your own KJV Bible to the passages I am using. I recommend to always read the entire Chapter when I quote Bible Verses. You will understand what I am saying much Better. I cannot post all the verses you should be reading in my Blogs.

When a Person is Saved they are Born Again.

They are a New Person.

This is a Spiritual Birth. Which means that the New Birth is a Spiritual operation. You are Still in your Old Body so even though you are Born Again you are Still Living in the same Old Body.

A Born Again Person is a New Person in their Old Body. They still have the same sinful body they had before they were Born Again.

The Difference is Now Being Born Again you have the Holy Spirit of God Living in You. You are Saved. Your Dead Spirit became alive at the New Birth, when you were Born Again.

Being Born Again Doesn’t make you a Sinless Person. It makes you a Forgiven Person who will Never Go to Hell.

People who are Born Again will have an Internal Battle against Sinning.

In Romans Chapter 7 Paul, likely the Greatest Christian man who has ever lived, is writing about his extreme internal Battle against Sinning. Paul is talking about his own struggles to keep himself from sinning.

Being a Christian is Not a Pious Life. It is a Life Filled with Battles. Filled with many Battles. The Battle against Sinning is a daily Fight for Everyone who is a Born Again Christian.

Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 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. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 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. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 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. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 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.

Beware of “Christians” that Lie and say that they do not Sin.

All Christians Sin daily. This is Not a Bragging Statement. It is a Fact. Good Christians Fight against Sin, they do not give into Sin and Let Sin Completely Control their Lives.

Some Christians Do Not Fight against Sin… They are Saved because they have been Born Again but you cannot tell any difference between them and a Lost person.

Jesus Speaking in John Chapter 3

John 3:3 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.

These Verses are talking about Being Born Again:

2nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Being Born Again means you are a New Creature. You are to Be a New Person in Jesus Christ. Our Old Past Lives need to become a Distant Memory. Born Again comes with the responsibility to Be a Christian – Christlike. We are supposed to behave like Jesus did / does.

Honestly Most People Reject Jesus because they Don’t want to be a Christian. They Love Sin. They want to Sin. They Reject Jesus because they Do Not want to Give up Sin.

They Do Not Understand Salvation. A person Does Not Go to Heaven because they Give up their Sins. Repent of Sin, Forsaking, Giving up Sinning is Works Salvation and is Not in the Bible.

A person Goes to Heaven because they Believe that Jesus Died to Take away the Penalty for All of their Sins. They are Trusting in Jesus Only to Save them.

Being Born Again is About Having a New Life in Jesus Christ:

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Jesus shares the Gospel with Nicodemus:

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 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.

To Be Saved Eternally, You will Never Go to Hell, Ask Jesus to Save You. Believe the Gospel Only.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

What Is Sin?

2nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Sadly, Most People Have No Clue what Sin is. Many people call Sin, a Mistake. They minimize Sin.

“Christians” Falsely Claim that there is a Difference between Sin, and Intentionally Sinning. “I Never Commit Intentional Sins…”

This “Christian” saying “I Never Commit Intentional Sins.” is No Better than anyone who says I make mistakes, I don’t Sin.

The Bible Definition of Sin:

1st John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

1st John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Simply put Sin is: Sin is the Transgression of the Law.

Simply put Sin is: All Unrighteousness.

Even Knowing these two verses Most People are Still Very Confused about what Sin is.

The Facts about Sin Everyone Needs to Know is:

We All Sin. We are All Sinners, that Deserve to Go to Hell.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

The Entire Passage:

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

Jesus Died For All of Our Sins. Jesus Died for All of the Sins of the Entire World. No one goes to Hell for Sin.

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Isaiah 53:6 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.

John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

People Only Go to Hell because they have Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

John 3:18 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.

Salvation is Simply Believing on Jesus Only to Save You. To Believe the Gospel Only to Save You.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

1st John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 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. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”

Salvation = Belief in Jesus Only to Save You. If you have Never Asked Jesus to Save you than you are Lost and on your Way to Hell.

The entire passage:

1st John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 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. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 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. 10 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. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 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. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

John 5:24 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.

Salvation is Eternal, Never Ending Life.

Myths about Sin:

Myth, Christians Don’t Sin.

1st John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

Myth, My Good Works, Deeds, the Good things I do in my Life will be compared to My Bad Behavior by Jesus. Myth, Everyone who has more Good Works than Bad Works Will Go to Heaven.

This Lie is taught by the World. Most Churches teach a version of this. This is one Reason Santa Claus is so Bad. Santa Claus gives Rewards / Gifts to the Good Children. The Bad Children get only a lump of Coal.

This Lie, Myth is a form of Works Salvation.

Salvation Is Through Jesus Only.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

1st Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Myth, we have to Obey the Law to be Saved.

Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Myth, Repent of Sin, is in the Bible.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/?p=208

The Big Lie is that Repent means to Repent of Sin. Repent is Never connected with Sin in the Bible. God Repents in the Bible more than anyone else. God Does Not Sin. Every time God Repents in the Bible he changes his mind. Repent = a Change of Mind.

In Salvation Repent = Change your mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus, the Gospel Only to Save you.

Repent of Sin, is also called: To Turn From Sin to be Saved, To be willing to Turn from Sin to be Saved, To Forsake Sin to be Saved, To Give Your Life to Jesus to Be Saved, To Make Jesus the Lord of your Life, To Have a Relationship with Jesus, etc…

Repent of Sin is expressed by False Teachers, False Churches in many different ways… They Falsely Say that Repent of Sin is Not Works.

Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible. Repent of Sin is a False Gospel that means you have to Keep the Law to be Saved.

James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

Jesus Never said in the Bible to Repent of Sin to Be Saved. Neither does anyone Else.

Bible Salvation:

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Notice Neither Paul nor Silas told the Jailer that he had to Repent of Sin to be Saved. Also, the Jailer and his Family were Baptized in water after they were Saved. After they had Believed on Jesus Only to Save them.

Myth, Sin is OK, Christians are Free to Sin as much as they want to because Jesus Died for All of their Sins. This is a Lie, it is what is called a Half Truth, which is a Lie.

Jesus Died for All Sin. Sin does Not send a person to Hell.

Just Because you will Not Go to Hell for Sinning doesn’t mean that you get a Free Pass to Commit Sin as a Christian.

You can Lose other things other than Eternal Life by Sinning. Christians who Sin often Die early because of their Sins.

A Sinful Lifestyle is Dangerous.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Sin causes Death. Not just Eternal Death in Hell, but Physical Death also.

One extremely obvious truth is people who Live the most Sinful Lives typically Die young / younger than everyone else.

High Risk Sinful Activities: Smoking, Drinking, Doing Drugs, many Sexual Relationships, being a Criminal, etc…

Also, Christian who is very Sinful will Lose Eternal Rewards.

1st Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1st Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

No Christian wants to meet Jesus after a Life Spent wasted in Sin. Jesus will Not Send anyone who has Believed on him to Hell. That doesn’t mean he will be Happy with Lazy Christians who did Not live a Christian Life.

Good Works Will Not Save a Person from Hell. Good Works will Not Save anyone. But Good Works are necessary for a Christian to Live a Biblical Christian Life.
