Jesus Told Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan because Satan was trying to use Peter to Hinder Jesus, to Stop Jesus…
It is Essential to Understand a Person is Either Benefiting Jesus or they are Benefiting Satan. A Christian, anyone, is Either Promoting Jesus or Satan. There is Nothing in between.
Every Christian should automatically realize this when they are told this. If You do not understand this Truth and or do not want to hear this, I question your Salvation if you claim to be a Christian.
If You are a Christian and are not Actively Involved in the Christian Ministry than You are Being Used by Satan.
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Jesus Hates Lukewarm Christians.
Lukewarm Christians are the People who Just Occupy the Pews and Shout the Loudest in the Church.
When it comes time to Go Out and Do the Work of the Ministry of the Church they Seldom do it. They will Go to Potluck Dinners, Picnics, Non Evangelist Activities. You will not normally see them working in the Homeless Ministry, the Nursing Home ministry, anything challenging.
Lukewarm Christians Get in the way of the Core Missions of the Christian Church.
Which are: Evangelism, Caring for the weak, helping Widows / caring for children (Orphans), the elderly, etc… I know First hand that these Church Ministries are always begging for Help in Christian Churches.
Church Goers / Pew Sitters: want the most Visible Jobs in the Church.
The Jobs they want are: Sunday School Teacher, Youth Leader, Group Leader, etc… They want to be a Leader in the Church without having ever done the Core Work of the Church. The Bible is Clear on This:
Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Satan Uses People within the Church to Destroy the Church
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Neither Give Place To The Devil!!!! This is What Jesus was Saying to Peter When He Said: “Get thee behind me, Satan…”
Ephesians Chapter 4 is Reinforcing what Jesus said to Peter “Get thee behind me Satan…”
A Christian Is Either Promoting Jesus, Doing the Work of the Christian Church, or they are Doing the Work of Satan.
Satan wants to Stop Christians from Serving Jesus and Doing the Work of the Church which is their Responsibility as a Christian.
Satan Stirs Up Anger and Strife in the Christian Church causing this Conflict to Stop the Church from Doing the Ministries they are supposed to Do, Need to Do.
“Neither Give Place To The Devil.” “Get thee behind me, Satan…”
These Words: “Neither Give Place To The Devil.” “Get thee behind me, Satan…” they apply to Every Christian. At One time or another. More often than we are willing to Admit these Words Apply to us.
Peter was a Great Man of God. He went momentarily astray and Jesus Immediately Came Down on Him Hard Like a Sledgehammer: “Get thee behind me, Satan…” Jesus was Not Going to Allow this!
There is Not a Christian Alive today that can match up to the Apostle Peter, so Do Not think that you are Not Ever Used by Satan.
The Bible is Full of examples of His People Being Used by Satan:
1st Corinthians 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
****NOTE**** Self-Righteous “Christians” (Typically Lost People within the Church.) will use Verse 13 to Attack Christians who have a habitual sin that they know about.
Verse 13 was Not written for Christians to use to Attack other Christians for their Sins. The entire context of the passage Refutes that use. Verse 12 Refutes that use of Verse 13.
Verse 13 is given because it is True and it encourages Christians to Fight. To Fight against the Temptations that come their way, including Habitual Temptations.
Read Romans Chapter 7. The Apostle Paul had a habitual Sin that he was unable to Stop. As a Christian he said:
Romans 7:15 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.
1st Corinthians 10:13 IS NOT TO BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND USED TO BEAT DOWN CHRISTIANS STRUGGLING WITH SIN.
Again, typically Counterfeit Christians in Churches take this verse and use it against people to PUFF THEMSELVES UP, to attack people within the Church. “I am Better than you are. You are Weak and Pathetic.”
1st Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
This Message is a Wake-Up Call to Christians to Not Be Lazy Lukewarm Christians. There are Infinite ways Satan uses Christians.
When Christians Get Angry, Wrongfully, (There is a Correct Time to Be Angry. Jesus and Paul in the Bible Showed their Anger, their Righteous Indignation. Jesus Used a whip, and overturned tables in the Temple for Example. Paul Fought against False Doctrine and was Very Angry doing it. He Split with Barnabas and was Very Angry while doing this… So Being Angry in Defense of the Gospel is Biblical. There is a Time to be Angry.) they are being Used by Satan.
The Christian Ministry includes Everyone that is Saved.
A Christian Church Only Works as Jesus wants it to when Every Member is Actively A Doer, A Person Working within the Church.
Ephesians 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Doers is an Active Word. If YOU ARE NOT ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CHRISTIAN EVANGELISM, IN THE WORK OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAN YOU ARE BEING USED BY SATAN!!!!
In the Gospel’s Jesus is Repeatedly Focusing on Doing. Actively Working in the Ministry. His Number #1 Focus is Evangelism, Soul Winning:
John 4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
In the above passage Jesus makes it Clear that Soul Winning is the Job of the Entire Church.
One Person will Sow Seeds, Spread the Gospel. Another Person will Follow up and Lead that Soul to Heaven by their own Evangelism. Jesus is Saying that you cannot expect a Person will be Saved the First time that they hear the Gospel Message. It might take more than one person to Save that Lost Soul.
So, Christians Need to Actively Work at Soul Winning even if they themselves Never see any Fruit. Jesus is Saying once you are in Heaven You will See the Fruit of all of Your Efforts, in Evangelism.
The Picture Jesus Paints is that some people will see a lot of Fruit, a lot of people Saved on Earth. While others might not see anyone Saved while on the Earth. Both the Person who Sowed the seed First and the Person who saw the Fruit Spring Forth as a Saved Soul they are Both credited for Winning that Soul to Jesus Christ.
Soul Winning is a Group Effort according to Jesus. It is the Responsibility of the Entire Church.
James Chapter 1 is what Jesus is Talking about when he said “GET BEHIND ME SATAN…” Peter was Interfering in Jesus Ministry. He was Telling Jesus NO!!!!
You can easily identify False Counterfeit “Christian” Churches by how they Reject Jesus’s Words. How they say “Jesus was Speaking to the Jews Only.”
Yes Churches say this. In Fact 90% probably more than this of Baptist Churches say this.
****NOTE BEWARE**** They Say (IFB Baptists, Many Other Counterfeit Christian Churches.) Paul was sent to Reveal Christianity. They Falsely Claim that Christianity was NOT KNOWN UNTIL PAUL DEFINED IT, EXPLAINED IT. ACCORDING TO THEIR FALSE DOCTRINE, JESUS NEVER TOLD THE TRUE GOSPEL FOR THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. THEIR FALSE DOCTRINE TEACHES MULTIPLE TRUE GOSPEL’S. THIS FALSE DOCTRINE COMES FROM THEIR INVENTION OF DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH.
The False Dispensationalism Doctrine:
False Churches that Teach Dispensationalism Divide the Bible into 7 or more Dispensations. “Dispensationalism / Dispensational Truth Theology” These False Churches, Counterfeit Christianity are: Many Baptists Churches, 99% of IFB Baptists, Calvinist Churches, etc…
If you are Not Familiar with this concept, False Doctrine / Teaching of theirs, and others this is how they explain it:
“The New Testament doesn’t begin until Pentecost in the Book of Acts when Saved people received the Holy Ghost.”
So they “Rightly Divide the Truth” and Falsely say that the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Hebrews and other Books in the New Testament are Old Testament Books that CANNOT be used to Teach New Testament Salvation.
They use the Unbiblical “Dispensational Truth Theology” to Falsely claim that the Bible teaches more than 12 True plans of Salvation. The number Varies from Church to Church. I have seen in Print Between 7 and 18 different Plans of Salvation that these Counterfeit Christians of one type or another say are True Gospel plans of Salvation. This All Comes under the Umbrella of Dispensationalism.
They are Extremely Wicked SATANIC. They Claim Jesus NEVER TAUGHT Salvation for the “Christian Church.” According to them Jesus Salvation Message was Old Testament Preaching to the Jews ONLY.
Again Dispensationalist Teach New Testament Salvation came through the Apostle Paul NOT JESUS.
So, According to Dispensational Theology / Dispensational Truth Jesus, Peter, and Paul, All taught a Different way to be Saved.
These are Traditional Baptist Churches, IFB Baptist Churches, Calvinists Churches, plus others…
“Bible Believers” this term is a Joke.
Beware of the Following Churches: ALL Churches that have Bible Believer’s in their title, IFB Churches, ALL KJV ONLY Churches, Any Church that Puts Bible in their Title. For Example: Cornerstone AV1611 KJV ONLY Bible Baptist Church.
Note on a rare occasion some of these Churches teach the Truth, but it is like One out of One Thousand (1 in a 1,000).
They are Like a Child who Broke the Cookie Jar. “Mommy I don’t know how it Broke. It just fell…” While they have Chocolate all over their face, on their Clothing, on their hands.
We are supposed to Believe them because we Love them, they are our own Children, after all.
Churches Behave like Children in that they Expect to Be Believed ONLY Because they Say it.
You Must Trust and Believe us Because We are The Church.
“This is the Highly Respected: IFB KJV ONLY AV1611 River Road Baptist Church of Tuna, Alabama. Because we Have IFB KJV ONLY AV1611 in our Title then You must Believe it when we say we Believe and Teach the Bible Only here.”
As You Might Expect they are Extremely Arrogant and High and Mighty in Every Way.
I Have Learned Not to Go to a IFB KJV ONLY Church, to any of the Churches I mentioned Above, without closely reading their Website. If they do not have a website there is no chance I will go to their Church. I will watch a few of their online Sermons if their Website doesn’t have any obvious red flags. If the Sermons are Biblical then I would give them a try in person.
Bible Believing Church, KJV ONLY, AV161 in the Title of a Church is a Huge Red Flag.
“Bible Believing / Bible Believer” in itself is a HUGE BAD JOKE
It is a Bad Joke Because If It Is True You Do Not Have to Proclaim It So Loudly In The Title of Your Church.
I know what to Always Expect when Walking into these Churches. Maybe once or Twice I was Surprised in a Good Way.
For the most part these Churches are Clones of Each Other. They are So Fake. So Rude and Arrogant.
They are the Most Ignorant People in how they Behave and their Bible Knowledge.
(IFB KJV ONLY) Independent Fundamentalist Baptists Churches (99%) don’t Teach the Bible. The Bible is Not their Final Authority.
They use Books written by people like Clarence Larkin and others as their Bibles. This is True because Dispensationalism / Calvinism is their Bible.
Dispensationalism / Calvinism is where their Plans of Salvation Comes From. Not the Bible.
They Strictly Follow the Writings of John Calvin / Dispensationalist over the Bible. They are Calvinists, though many Deny it. You can see Calvinists Theology in their List of Beliefs. You will hear their Pastor’s / Preaching and Quoting Other Calvinists.
They Teach and Preach what Dispensationalists and Calvinists Teach ABOVE the Bible. Their Content includes Other Non-Biblical Sources. They Deny what the Bible Says. They Do Not Care that what they Teach Contradicts the Bible:
“You Just Have Not Learned How to Rightly Divide the Bible. If you would Just Read All of these Books then you would understand.”
They Twist the Bible to Fit what their False Teachers Teach.
Dispensationalist Churches are No Different than any other Cult. They are Not Bible Believers. They are Bible Twisters.
Dispensationalism is the Biggest Lie Sending Millions of Baptists (Plus others) to Hell.
They are Nearly All Calvinists. They Follow Men / Women Not the Bible like All Cults.
Dr. Peter S. Ruckman said that he could count 7 Different Plans of Salvation in the Book of Acts alone and 14 or more in the Bible. He did not care about the exact number of Dispensations he was sure that the Bible Taught at least 10 Different Gospels….
The Bible makes it Crystal Clear that there is Only One Gospel.
There is Only One Way to Heaven for All of mankind in the Entire Bible. From Adam to the Last Person Saved there is Only One Path to Heaven.
Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection Gives Eternal Salvation / Eternal Life to all who Trust in him, the Gospel Only to Save them from Hell, whether they lived before or after him.
In both the Old and the New Testament everyone is Saved By Grace, through Faith in Jesus Only. Belief In Jesus’ Death, Burial and Resurrection, the Gospel. This is what the Bible Clearly Teaches.
The Law was given to Show all Mankind that no one could keep the Law. The Law showed us that we were Sinners in need of a Savior.
Believers in the Old Testament were not Saved by being obedient to the law of God. The Bible clearly teaches this:
Romans 3:20 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.
We are not Good enough to earn Heaven. That is True for us Now, and it was also True for Believers in the Old Testament.
Old Testament Believers were Not Saved by animal sacrifices:
Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
The Old Testament sacrifices pointed towards the One Sacrifice that Jesus would make on the cross to bring Eternal Salvation.
Galatians 1:3-9
[3]Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
[4]Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
[5]To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
[6]I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
[7]Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
[8]But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
[9]As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
The Gospel:
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:
Dispensationalist’s Deny the Plain Truth of the Bible. Paul is the God of Dispensationalist’s, Not Jesus. Like Catholics that Worship Mary Dispensationalist’s Worship the Apostle Paul.
You will constantly hear this from Dispensationalist’s:
“Do Not Go to what Jesus said in the Bible for Salvation, Jesus Message was for Old Testament Jews Only.” This is Mainstream Baptist Dispensationalist’s False Doctrine.
This is Not Just a Baptist Theology, it is a False Theology that All Cults Believe. The Cults Deny that Jesus is the Savior. Cults Churches are more than 90% of Every Church that exists today.
BEWARE OF: Pauline Churches. A Pauline Church Focus is on Paul, NOT ON JESUS. I am not saying that they do not mention Jesus. They will Mention Jesus a lot but they Falsely Claim that Jesus’s Ministry was Only to the Jews.
The Entire Passage below is a Sermon against Being a Cold, or a Lukewarm Christian. The Word Christian Means Christlike.
James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
The Core Work of the Christian Church is to be Out in the Community Being an Evangelist. Bringing people into the Church:
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
A Christian Must be Active Daily in the Christian Ministry.
Pastor’s, People who have an Official Position in the Local Church are Not the Only People who are in the Christian Ministry. Matthew Chapter 16 make this Very Clear. If You are Saved, a Christian, then You must, at the Very Minimum, be part of the Evangelism Ministry. Sharing the Gospel with people.
If You Don’t care enough about the people you see everyday to Witness to them, to Share the Gospel with them then how can you call yourself a Christian?
Just saying “I am a Christian,” on Social Media, while you are in your Favorite hiding place, is a meaningless gesture. That is Not Sharing anything. The word Christian is the most misused word in History. The Secular World Only knows Counterfeit Christianity. Counterfeit Christianity is as Fake as a Pink Dollar Bill.
A Christian will verbally share the Gospel with their Immediate Community. With their Neighborhood, and with as many people as possible in their Daily Life. This is the Very least you can do to be part of the Christian Ministry.
Online Evangelism is Good to Do But what I see Online is Not Christian Evangelism.
90 Percent or More of Online “Christian” Evangelism is Meme’s, or a Single Bible Verse that will Not Save a Person reading it. The Bible Versions used are Not Bibles.
I Only Use the KJV Bible but I don’t Proclaim it as if that makes what I am Saying Automatically True. Having the Right Bible Means Nothing if the person using the KJV Bible is Teaching a False Gospel and Twisting the Scriptures.
There is a Reason that Hundreds of New Bible Versions Came out After the KJV Bible was published. The Reason is Satan is a Liar, and the Author of Confusion. His Bibles are From Corrupt Manuscripts. Common Sense will Tell You there is No Need for All the New Bible Versions Other then to Cause Confusion and to Teach Lies.
If you want to do Real Christian Evangelism online you have to Actually Share the Gospel. Finding “Christian” Meme’s and Non Salvation Bible Verses Online to post, Especially if you are using a Corrupt Bible is Not Christian Evangelism.
The Apostle Peter:
The Apostle Peter is the Most Misunderstood, Most Slandered Person in the Bible… 99% of what has been written about him is Wrong.
Peter was Married with his own Family. He was one of the oldest of the 12 Disciples Jesus called. Jesus was 30 years old when he started his Public Ministry. His Disciples were all at least 30 years old and older.
Jesus had to wait until he was 30 years old to begin his Public Ministry because at 30 years old Jesus was old enough to be a Respected Rabbi / Teacher. The masses Never would have Respected and followed Jesus at a Younger age. All of Jesus’s 12 Disciples had to have the same level of Respect to take part in his Ministry, they were all sent out on Missionary Journey’s separate from Jesus.
Jesus calls Peter Satan:
Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
The Entire passage:
Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. 5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
This Message is a Caution to All Christians that Satan will use Every Opportunity to Corrupt You and to Have You Working for him instead of Jesus.
How to Be Saved:
Believe the Gospel Only for your Salvation:
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 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. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
