Jesus’ Innocent Blood Was Shed For You. Pilate’s Guilt.

Barabbas – Hell or Jesus – Heaven? Which do you Choose? This is the Ultimate Question. God is Asking Everyone to decide.

Matthew 27:17
“Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?”

Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour or reject him.

Matthew 27:
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

You must ASK YOURSELF:

Heaven or Hell / The Lake of Fire???

Barabbas? Jesus?

Who will you choose? Jesus and Eternal Life in Heaven? Barabbas and Eternal Damnation in the Lake of Fire?

You have to choose. If you do not choose Jesus you are rejecting his free gift of Salvation. For example: A Sick person can choose the cure for their sickness or reject the Cure and die. Choices have to be made in this life. Doing nothing is a Choice that will Damn you to Eternal Flames:

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.

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.

The Bible is clear if you refuse to Believe on Jesus (Do nothing.) you have rejected him:

Verse 18 is crystal clear: “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.”

So will you be like the fickled Crowd who followed Jesus? Who never Believed on Jesus?

These people wanted to be part of a group of people. (Like today people want to be accepted in society, part of the cool crowd, part of the latest popular trend.) This Crowd was almost all people who had not made a decision, a choice for Jesus. They followed him to see what would happen next. They wanted to see his miracles and his confrontations with the Pharisees and Sadducee’s. They were there for the excitement, for stories to tell people.

They were healed by Jesus, fed by him, taught by him. They immediately turned on Jesus when they saw him bound and bloody by the Roman soldiers.

They shouted: Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him! We want Barabbas!!! Crucify Jesus!!!

Pilate did not want to make a Choice. He left it to the mob.

Pilate had the authority to free Jesus. By not freeing Jesus he REJECTED JESUS! Pilate not the mob condemned Jesus to death to be Crucified.

“I am innocent of the Blood of this just person: see ye to it said Pilate.”

Pilate was delusional thinking he could be free of the shed Blood of Jesus by leaving the decision up to the mob who had no authority to have Jesus Crucified. Pilate’s hands are bloody. He tried to clean the Blood off his hands by washing them in water.

Right now in Hell Pilate is still rubbing his hands together trying to rid them of Jesus INNOCENT BLOOD.

Jesus was Falsely accused and found INNOCENT. Pilate did not want Jesus INNOCENT BLOOD on his hands.

Pilate can never wash Jesus Blood off his hands.

Pilate had the authority to release Jesus but he Feared the Mob. Instead of doing the right thing and releasing Jesus he had Jesus Crucified on his own authority.

Pilate is guilty, he has Jesus Innocent Blood forever on his hands.

No one is Neutral. Doing nothing. Making no decision for Jesus is rejecting Jesus.

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.
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.

If you have not Believed on Jesus, accepted him as your Saviour, asked Jesus to Save you than you are Lost.

Barabbas is a picture of every person ever born. Barabbas was Guilty. Innocent Jesus took his place. He died for Barabbas Crimes his Sins.

Mark 15:7
“And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.”

Barabbas was GULITY of trying to overthrow the Roman Government. Barabbas was GUILTY of MURDER. Jesus was INNOCENT.

Jesus died in Barabbas place.
Jesus died in your place, he died in my place.
Jesus died for all the Sins of the World.
Do not Die without Jesus.
Ask Jesus to Save you right now.

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.

Heaven

Heaven is where God’s Throne is. It is a city with streets of gold. It is full of Mansions.

Hollywood Mocks Heaven. Hollywood’s version of Heaven is people sitting on clouds strumming Harps. Heaven is real so is Hell. Hell is not a party where people will be reunited with their friends. Hollywood pictures Hell as a great place where people have endless fun.

Jesus Describes Heaven

John 14:2 “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.”

Heaven is so Amazing that our human minds cannot even begin to comprehend it.

1st Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

The context of 1st Corinthians 2:9. Is Paul telling a crowd. That what he says is from God. God’s Wisdom. Not the False Wisdom of the world. God wants us to look forward to going to Heaven.

1st Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The Saints in the Old Testament looked forward to Heaven.

The Bible is clear that Heaven is not a place with people sitting on clouds strumming harps. Also Heaven is not in the Clouds. Heaven is way beyond our clouds. The depiction of Heaven. In paintings, in pictures, in movies and on TV. Are Lost’s man’s depictions and are not Biblical.

Heaven is the home of countless Angels. And other Spiritual Beings. It is an active working city. With God on the Throne.

Faith in Jesus Blood Atonement Only Is The ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN For Everyone.

Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Christians Need To FEAR GOD. GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.

Most Pastor’s completely gloss over these verses. And if they ever preach / teach them they do not tell Christians to Fear God. Why they need to Fear God. God will not accept all of our Christian works. Just look at Cain and Able.
Heaven will not be only Joy unspeakable and full of Glory.

Heaven for every Christian. Starts with Judgment and Tears. Yes, Tears. There will be Tears in Heaven.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

People do not understand this verse. It sounds Happy. Because God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. This verse is one of the saddest verses in the entire Bible Actually.

God has not yet wiped away people’s tears. “Shall.” Shall is a future event. People in Heaven are crying.

Let this sink in. You and I. We will be crying in Heaven. For years. Heaven is outside of time. Just think how long it will take. For Jesus to Judge the entire World. Our Lost Family Members, and Friends. The amount of time is unfathomable.

2nd Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

Things that will happen to every person in Heaven

Some people will be Naked. Jesus will Judge us all. People get mad. And call it perverse. That some people will get to Heaven Naked. This does not mean. That they will remain Naked in Heaven. And I do not think the Bible suggests this. God is showing their Nakedness because they did not serve him. White Robes are the Righteousness of the Saints. Nakedness is their lack of Righteousness.

Revelation 19:8 “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”

When you get to Heaven you will be Naked or Clothed because of your Righteousness. In a White Robe. You have to have lived a Righteous Christian Life to get a White Robe. The Bible makes this clear.

The Bible teaches us that Nakedness is Shameful. The Naked people in Heaven. Are Shameful. Because they did not Live for Jesus. Every Lost person will be Naked.

The following is a depiction of what will happen. When the Bride of Christ. The Church gets to Heaven:

Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

Once a Christian dies they are immediately in Heaven with the Lord.

2nd Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

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

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

10 “ …that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”

11 “Knowing therefore the Terror of the Lord…”

These Words Should Terrify everyone. Jesus will show us every Bad thing we have Done AS a Christian.

TERROR, TERROR, TERROR!!!!

Hebrews 10:3 “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

God wants every person alive to understand. That when their Life on Earth is over. Jesus will Judge them. In Vivid Color. Jesus will Judge all of our Works for Jesus, our Christian Service. The Good and the Bad.

Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

We will cry. Because of all the time we wasted. On useless worthless pleasures. Hours watching the TV daily. Living in Sin. The missed opportunities we had to serve Jesus. To witness to people, to Share the Gospel.

We will Cry. When we see Friends and Family members Judged by Jesus. And cast into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

“…the former things are passed away.” Do you understand what this really means? Everyone you knew in your life. Who went to Hell. You will not remember them.

Your memory of your Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles. All Family, All Friends. You knew who went to Hell / The Lake of Fire. You will not remember anything about them.

Isaiah 65:17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”

When Jesus creates the New Heavens and the New Earth we will not remember our Past. The Past will not even come into our minds.

Heaven is not about us. It is not about our past. Heaven is about Jesus. In Heaven we will have a new glorified body. An entirely new life.

Jesus is the Focus of Heaven Not us. There will be no great reunion. Where we will be hugging family members. People we lived our lives with. Lost people for hundreds of years. Have painted pictures of Heaven. And have written books about Heaven. That are Not Biblical, Not true. There are no Husbands and Wives with their Children in Heaven. The Families we had on Earth. Will not exist like that in Heaven. In Heaven we will be one big family. The Bride of Christ.

Jesus will Judge us As soon as we get to Heaven. We will not be hugging people we knew on Earth. Having this grand family celebration. We will have glorified bodies like Jesus’s resurrected body.

We will have Joy in Heaven. Joy that the Bible does not fully explain. We will be full of Joy just being in the amazingly beautiful city of Heaven. Seeing Angels and other Spiritual Beings. Meeting Jesus will give us the greatest possible Joy. Our future in Heaven will be working as leaders in Jesus’s Kingdom. Heaven is not a Lazy city. It is a very active busy city. The Bible says we will judge Angels:

1st Corinthians 6:3 “Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”

Please do not miss out on Eternal Life in Heaven.

2nd Corinthians 6:2 “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”

Bible 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:

2nd Chronicles 7:14 Explained

The True Meaning of 2nd Chronicles 7:14.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

“If my people,” The only people God claims as his in the Bible are the Jews. The Nation of Israel. No other Nation. No other Religion. “Christians” Falsely claim this verse for themselves. This verse is not even a Salvation Verse.

The Context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 is a Covenant of God with the Nation of Israel. This passage is Not a Salvation Passage.

1st Lie. My People are Christians.

2nd Lie. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 can be applied to the United States of America and other Nations.

3rd Lie. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 teaches to Repent of Sin, To Turn From Sin, To Forsake Sin to be Saved. This False Teaching is sending countless people to Hell.

The Context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 is a Covenant of God with the Nation of Israel. This passage is not a Salvation Passage.

This Passage Does Not Say to Repent of Sin. To Forsake Sin. Or To Turn from Sin to be Saved. It Does Not promise Salvation, Eternal Life. It is Not a Salvation passage.

The Bible clearly explains Salvation.

Salvation is 100% the work of the Lord Jesus Christ:

Believe the Gospel Only for Salvation. Believe on Jesus.

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:

How to read the Bible with correct understanding:

When considering any scripture verse. The reader must put it into context. Who is the writer speaking to? What are the requirements? If any?

The context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 starts in 2nd Chronicles Chapter 6.

Solomon’s “end of praying” was the prayer in 2nd Chronicles Chapter 6 for the dedication of the Temple. Notice the context. God is speaking to Israel and no one else.

2nd Chronicles 6:1 Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8 But the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel.

God is Speaking to the Nation of Israel in all of these verses.

“…blessed the whole congregation of Israel.” vs. 3

“…have chosen David to be over my people Israel.” vs. 6

“And said, O LORD God of Israel,…” vs. 14

“…O LORD God of Israel,” vs. 16

“And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray…” vs. 24

“…forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.” vs. 25

“…they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin…” vs. 26

“…forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel…” vs. 27

Yet if they…turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned…” vs. 37

“If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity…” vs. 38

“…forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.” vs. 39

It is Imperative that we recognize Solomon’s prayer is for the Nation of Israel ONLY, No Other Nation.

2nd Chronicles 6:14 “And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts”

God, “which keepest covenant,” refers to the Mosaic Covenant. For example, when God promises a New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34, we are told that Israel was unfaithful in obeying the (Mosaic Covenant Jeremiah 31:32) but God was faithful in keeping His part of the covenant.

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

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.

Deuteronomy Chapter 6 details commands God told Israel to Obey.

Deuteronomy 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

The surrounding context of Deuteronomy 6:1-25. Is the promise of blessing and cursing. Which is dependent on the obedience or disobedience of Israel. See Deuteronomy 28:1-14 for Blessings. And 28:15-68 and for Cursings.

There is the Promise of Blessing for Israel. Not for the Salvation of their Souls. If they Followed the Commands of the Mosaic Covenant. This didn’t Require Perfection. But that a Majority of the Nation would be Sincere Followers of Jehovah God.

The Davidic Covenant which is the “Seed” Promise. Of the Abrahamic Covenant.

Found in: Genesis 12:22 “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:”

2nd Chronicles 6:16 “Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.”In Psalm 89, Solomon appeals to God for His mercies based on the unconditional, eternal promise of the Davidic Covenant:

Psalm 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Notice that God’s Covenant with David (vs. 35) is Eternal. (vs. 28.) Not Dependent on Israel being obedient to God. (vs. 30 – 34) And that the Throne of David will Last Forever. (vs. 36) Based on God’s Faithfulness. His Word. And His Holiness. (vs. 33-35). The Unconditional Nature of the Davidic Covenant. Is consistent with the Unconditional Nature of the Abrahamic Covenant.

The two covenants are important for understanding 2nd Chronicles 7:14. The Mosaic Covenant was Conditional and the Davidic Covenant is Unconditional. Neither Covenant was to Save people from going to Hell. Neither was to anyone other than the Nation of Israel. The Jewish people. Both Covenants are Everlasting, they will never end.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 is for Israel. Not for any Other Nation.

“Christians” in the USA. Twist the meaning of this verse. False Teachers use 2nd Chronicles 7:14 to teach the False Gospel Repent of Sins to Be Saved. To Turn From Sin to Be Saved. And To Forsake Sin to be Saved. To Teach God has Forever Forsaken Israel.

Please Beware of False Teacher’s. Who claim God has Forever Forsaken the Jewish people. The Nation of Israel. They Falsely teach all of the Covenant’s God had with Israel now belong to Christians.

No. People in the United States of America.

God will Not Bless you as a Nation. For Turning from your Wicked Ways. But there is a promise from God of a Blessing for the USA as a Nation. In Genesis 12:3. Actually this promise applies to every Nation. God has Greatly Blessed the USA because of this.

Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Salvation How To Be Saved.

Is there any place in the Bible where Salvation is Explained? How to Be Saved. Explained by Jesus, by John, by Paul?

Yes. Jesus says Believe on me to Be Saved. The Book of John is the Salvation Gospel. The Book of Romans is Paul explaining Salvation.

There is only one place in the Bible Where a person asks how to be Saved.

Acts 16:30 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.

The Greatest possible Question and Answer.

Question? What must I do to be Saved?

Answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

If you Believe the Bible is the 100% True word of God than this is how a person is Saved, period!!!! Plus nothing else.

When you read the Bible. You need to look at the entire context of the verse you are using.

Ask the following questions. Who is speaking? Who is being spoken to? What is the context? If the context is Saved from Physical Death, from earthly things, than it is Not Salvation from Hell. Saved from Hell.

Salvation verses are to Lost people. The audience is Lost people. Some verses that are Not Salvation verses. Are when the person speaking. Is talking to an audience of people who are Saved. Obviously if the audience is a group of Saved people. The subject being spoken about is not Saved from Hell. It is typically instructions for Living Life as a Christian.

Here is the entire passage in Acts Chapter 16.

The only place in the Bible where a person clearly asks. What must I do to be Saved? And the Apostle Paul answers the question.

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.

To be Saved from Hell. Believe on Jesus. In the next verse Jesus tells us how to be Saved.

John 6:47 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

Understand. This is Jesus saying, how to be Saved: “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

It can not get any clearer than this verse. Jesus did not say “Being Saved is a process with many steps…” “You have to Repent of all of your Sins.” “You must Forsake and Turn from Sin.”

No Jesus said: “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” This is immediate Salvation for just Believing on Jesus. Hath Everlasting Life means exactly that. You are Saved as soon as you Believe on Jesus.

Believe on Jesus only to be Saved. Is Not an Isolated Teaching. The Bible says this repeatedly.

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.”

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Belief in Jesus ONLY to Save you is what the Bible teaches.

John 8:24 “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 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

1st Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

If you Believe on Jesus than you Believe 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:

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.

Please if you have not Asked Jesus to Save you Please Ask Jesus right now to Save you.

As soon as you Believe the Gospel. As the only way to be Saved. Than you will be immediately Saved.

What Is God’s Will For Your Life?

Life is Short. It is Important to know. What God’s Will is for our Life.

People when they are Young tend to Waste their Lives. Not realizing how Shot Life is. The Bible tells us What God’s Will is For Our Lives.

Do not take Life for granted.

Life is Short. Please do not waste your Life. If you talk with people who are 50 or older. Many will tell you. That they have wasted Most of their Life. If you are a Christian. You need to ask yourself. What is God’s Will for my Life. The Bible contains God’s will for your Life.

James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Life is Short. Even if you Live to 120 that is Short. Because after a person gets to around 20. Life starts to Speed up a lot.

Each decade the older you get. Life goes by faster for you. Think back when you were a child. Just one day seemed to last forever. In your teen years. Days get faster. And before you know it. The week is over.

We are not guaranteed to live past the next second. So we should not be boastful. Of what our lives will be like in the future. “After I get my Master’s degree. I will be able to get the job I want. The house I want and the spouse I want etc.” We should have goals. While understanding nothing in our lives is guaranteed.

A lot of people set high goals for their lives. And they exceed them. They live into their late 90’s. And get to see their Grand children’s children grow up.

The Books of Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastics. Are full of cautions about life. And warnings about Wasting your Life.

Psalms 102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

12 But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

Ecclesiastics Chapter 3 tells us the seasons in Life.

Ecclesiastics 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Ecclesiastics is the most real straightforward book in the Bible.

“…for all is vanity.” If you ever get to thinking you are all that. And need a dose of reality. Just read the book Ecclesiastics. And it will set you straight.

God does not want us to be living our lives consumed with DEATH. He wants us to have good lives. He wants us to Love and to serve him.

Life can be Exciting, Fun, and Rewarding. As a Christian. We should not. Live our lives. To maximize all the fun time wasters. Many Hours in front of a TV daily. Being Lazy. Spending too much time. Playing or watching sports. Chasing the opposite sex, etc.

We should. Read and study our Bible’s daily. Be Evangelists. Pass out Tracts. Take part in Church Ministries. Spread the Gospel online, on social media. If you have a Spouse, Children spend as much quality time together as possible.

Jesus instructions for how we Should and Should Not Live our Lives.

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Always Look to Jesus to find God’s Will for your Life.

The Gospels are full of Jesus teaching. On his will for our lives. Jesus is always encouraging the Disciples. He teaches them. Corrects them. Gives them Hope for Eternal Life in Heaven with Him. Hope and Encouragement comes from Jesus.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 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.

3 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.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

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

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

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

If you are not Saved. Please Do Not Wait, to be Saved Later.

2nd Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

We are Saved by Believing 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:

Repent Of Sin?

Repent of Sin? Repentance is not correctly defined. (Biblically) By most people and Churches.

Repentance, Repent of Sin is called many different unbiblical things.

Repentance is said to be: Turn from Sin, To Forsake Sin, To Repent of Sin. None of this is found in the Bible.

You will never find any verse in the Bible that Says to Repent of Sin.

Repentance is also said to be Sorry over Sin. This is also not Found in the Bible.

People Falsely use 2nd Corinthians 7:9,10 to say Repentance is Sorrow over Sin.

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.

Verse 9 makes it Clear that Repentance Is Not Sorrow over Sin. To be Sorry at all.

Paul says: “I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,” he was not Happy that he made them Sorry.

He was happy that they Repented. It is clear that Repentance is not Sorrow. Paul said their Sorrow caused them to Repent.

Repentance is not Sorrow.

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

No the verse clearly says “godly sorry worketh repentance…” Godly sorry is not Repentance, it causes a person to Repent.

Sorrow causes a person to Repent it is not Repentance.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Repentance is when a person realizes by the Holy Spirit of God. That they are a Dirty Rotten Sinner that Deserves to go to Hell. And they Ask Jesus to Save them.

This Sorrow over being a Sinner causes a person to Repent. To Believe on Jesus only to Save them.

Repentance is not Sorrow. Sorrow leads a person to Repent. To Believe on Jesus.

Notice the above passage does not say to Repent of Sin. It also does not call Repentance Sorrow.

The Holy Spirit is shouting to the entire World “You are a Dirty Rotten Sinner. Jesus Died for your Sins…”

People only seek Jesus. Because the Holy Spirit of God makes them realize they are a Sinner. That needs Jesus to Save them.

It is important to look at the context of verses we use.

2nd Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

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.

Right here in verse 8 Paul is defining Repent as to Change your mind.

Paul did not Change his mind. (Repent) Because he made them sorry with his letter. He did not regret what he wrote to them.

“…though I did repent:” What he is saying here is when Titus told him that his letter made the Church sorry at 1^st he changed his mind at the letter he had sent and felt it was a bad letter.

Then after he completely understood what affect his letter had on the Church he realized his letter was good and had the needed affect on the Church. So Paul’s final reaction to the news from Titus was to be glad that he sent the letter. To not Change his mind (Repent) of the letter he had sent.

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.

The entire passage is talking about Titus giving a good report to Paul. About the Change (Repentance) his letter caused in the Church at Corinth.

There is a vast difference between what men think the Bible says about Repentance. And what the Bible actually says. Here are a few facts about “Repent.” As it is found in its various forms. In both the Old and New Testaments.

The word “Repent” is found forty-five times in the King James Bible. “Repentance” twenty-six times. “Repented” thirty-two times. “Repentest” one time. “Repenteth” five times. “Repenting” one time. And “Repentings” one time. A total of 111 times. In both the Old and New Testaments.

The word in its various forms is found forty-six times in the Old Testament. And sixty-five in the New. Of the forty-six times the word appears in the Old Testament. Twenty-eight times God does the Repenting, not man.

For instance, in Exodus 32:14 the Bible says. “And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.”

What did God Do? Did God Repent of his Sin?

No God does not Sin.

God Changed his mind. Repent means to Change your mind.

In addition to the twenty-eight times that God repents in the Old Testament. There are nine other passages. That tell of things about which God does not or did not Repent.

Of the forty-six times a form of the word “Repentance” appears in the Old Testament. Only nine times is man doing the repenting. Thirty-seven times it has reference to God’s Repenting. Or telling us of things about which God did not or will not Repent.

Now, if “Repent” means to Turn from Sin. To Repent of Sin, to Forsake Sin we have a Huge Problem.

That would mean God had to turn from his Sin, To Repent of his Sin, To Forsake his Sin.

God is Sinless and does not Sin.

But if “Repentance” means a Change of Mind. Then it is consistent with the Bible. God Changes His mind over and over again in the Bible.

“Repent of your sins.” Is not found in the Bible.

Repentance means to change your mind.

Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at [overlooked]; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. 31, Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

What they were to Repent or Change their Mind about. Is clear from verse 29. Here the Scripture says, “…we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and man’s device!”

They needed to Change their Mind about God. And see that He is not a Graven image made of gold, silver, or stone. But that He is a Living God and is going to be their Judge.

Jesus told people to Repent.

In Luke 13:5 Jesus said, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” The context of this verse shows that they needed to repent or change their mind regarding punishment and sin.

In this passage. Jesus was talking to good people. Who believed that people suffered only because of their sins. And they concluded that those in Galilee. Whose blood Pilate mingled with sacrifices. And those on whom the Tower of Siloam fell. Were greater Sinners. Because they died such horrible deaths.

Jesus contradicts the thinking of these Self-Righteous people. And tells them that they need to Repent or Change their Mind. And see themselves as Sinners, too. Or they will perish in their own Self-Righteousness.

Everyone is Saved by the Gospel. You will not find Jesus, Paul or any of Jesus other Disciples. Teaching to Be Saved you have to Repent of Sin.

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:

Repentance is from unbelief in Jesus to belief in Jesus. To Believe the Gospel only to Save you.

Repentance is not from sinful behavior.

The Gospels Are About Jesus. Matthew, Mark, Luke And John Explained, A Summary.

Bible Salvation, The Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are about Jesus, His Earthly Ministry. They are part of The New Testament. They are Not Part of the Old Testament Like Many False Counterfeit Churches Falsely Claim.

IFB, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Dispensationalist, Churches Teach that The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are Not part of the New Testament. They Deny Jesus, The Gospel. They Teach Calvinism a False Gospel. They Falsely say that the 4 Gospels belong in the Old Testament. This is Not Credible. It is Hypocritical. Because they Claim to be Bible Believers. In all Bibles published the 4 Gospels are in the New Testament. These “Bible Believer’s” Deny that the Bible they use is divided correctly.

There are Numerous Church Denominations that say the Gospels are Old Testament Books.

I Strongly Disagree with False Churches that Say the Gospel’s are Old Testament Books. The Gospel’s Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are Part of the New Testament.

1st) Every Bible ever published has the Gospels in the New Testament.

2nd) Jesus is the mediator of the New Testament. Jesus is the New Testament. His Innocent Perfect Life was the only worthy Sacrifice to Pay for All of the Sins of the world. The Life of Jesus, his earthly ministry are part of the New Testament. The Old Testament is everything before Jesus Birth on the Earth. The Old Testament Saints were looking forward to Jesus.

Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Mark 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Bible Salvation: No One was ever Saved by the Law.

The Old Testament saints. Were Waiting for Jesus. To Fulfill the Law. And Atone for the Sins of the Whole World.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

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.

Jesus Fulfilled the Law by Living a Perfect Sinless Life.

Romans 10: Everyone that Believes on Jesus To Be Saved Believes the Gospel, gets Jesus’s Righteousness.

Most people in the Old Testament days Did Not correctly understand the Law. They were not looking for the Promised Messiah. They were Establishing Their OWN Righteousness.

Romans 10:12 Proves that Everyone from the Old Testament, that was Saved, was Saved by Jesus.

The New Testament completed the Old Testament.

There has Always Only been One Path to Heaven, To Salvation and that is The Saviour The Lord Jesus Christ.

IFB Baptist Dispensationalist, “Bible Believer’s,” Put the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into the Old Testament. I completely Reject this Lie. I trust that my Bible is Correct with the Gospels in the New Testament.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are written from different Perspectives:

The Gospel’s give a complete picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. How He was the Fulfillment of Old Testament Promises.

The four Gospels we have in our Bible today. Are called Canonical Gospels. This means they are included in the Canon of Scripture of the New Testament. I have never seen a Bible for Sale anywhere that puts the Gospels into the Old Testament.

Abraham knew the Gospel. King David Knew the Gospel. Adam and Eve they knew the Gospel. The Promise of Jesus was not a Secret Hidden until the New Testament.

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

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.

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Everyone is Saved by Faith in Jesus Only. This is what the Whole Bible Teaches, Both the Old and the New Testament.

Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Right here in Romans Chapter 4: The Bible, Jesus, is Clear that the People in the Old Testament Understood that Jesus was coming to Die for All of the Sins of the World. They were Looking Forward to Salvation Through Jesus.

Lost False Teachers / False Churches they Mock Actual Christians for saying:

“The Old Testament Saints were Looking Forward to the Cross for Jesus. While New Testament Christians are Looking Back at Jesus and the Cross.”

Romans Chapter 4 is Clear that Salvation in the Entire Bible is Only Through Jesus and Not Ever by the Works of the Law. The Law Never Saved One Person.

The Book of Faith is Hebrews, it Proves that Salvation is Only Through Jesus No Matter if You Lived During the Old Testament or During the New Testament. The Bible Only Teaches One Way to Heaven, Through Jesus Only, Not by the Works of the Law.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 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.

7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Verse 13 could not be more clear. Everyone in the Old Testament saw the Promise of Salvation Through Jesus afar off. They Died Believing this in Faith.

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Hebrews Chapter 11 is the Chapter on Faith. Guess what? Salvation from Genesis to Revelation is through Faith Only. Faith in Jesus, Faith in the Gospel only for Salvation.

Look at these verses:

Hebrews 11:13 “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Salvation from Genesis to Revelation is Belief in Jesus Blood Atonement. Abraham and Everyone Born was Saved by the Gospel Only through Jesus Only. Not by the Works of the Law.

The Bible is One Book. The Old Testament and The New Testament is About Jesus Reaching out to Save Mankind from the Penalty of All of their Sins.

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

How to Be Saved:

Acts 16:30 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.

Simply Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Gospel of our Salvation, to be Saved.

The Faith to be Believe on Jesus is childlike Faith.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:14 / Luke 18:16 Show that the theme of the entire Bible is that Salvation is Free and Offered to Everyone the same way. It does not say Jewish children only. Gentile children only. No it says, “little children.” That includes all children. ALL.

The Gospel of Matthew:

The Gospel of Matthew Shows Jesus Preaching and teaching to both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus is presented as the Son of God. And the King of the Jews. Jesus is Immanuel. God with us. The entire book is composed of Five large blocks of teaching. (5:1-7:29; 10:11-42; 13:1-52; 18:1-35; 24:1-25:46.)

Outline of The Gospel of Matthew:

1. The Person of Jesus (ch. 1:1 – 4:16). 2. The Proclamations of Jesus (ch. 4:17 – 16:20). 3. The Passion of Jesus (ch. 16:21 – 28:20).

The Church.

Matthew is the only Gospel to use the word Church. He uses it two different times.

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Jesus’s Authority:

Matthew, like the other Gospels, describes Jesus Miracles and Teachings as Powerful and Authoritative. Matthew puts extra emphasis on Jesus Authority over All things. Nothing can stand in the way of God’s forward-moving Kingdom. (Mt 16:18; 28:18).

The Gospel of Mark:

Mark describes the life of Jesus with an Apocalyptic thrust and Intensity. It is the shortest of the four Gospels. Mark was not an Apostle himself. He was a Disciple of Peter. A missionary with both Peter and Paul. His Gospel reflects the action-packed, speedy, urgent nature of the Gospel Ministry. It shows us how Jesus calls us to a Life of Active Faith.

Mark’s Gospel is concerned with the question and the Identity of Jesus as the Messianic Son of God.

Jesus is the suffering servant Messiah.

Vividly described in Isaiah 53. The one who would come to Pay for All of the Sins of the whole world.

Mark’s Gospel begins with this statement:

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

At his baptism, Jesus is confirmed to be the Messianic Son of God. By a voice from heaven.

Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

At the end of the book. The Roman centurion states:

Mark 15:39 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.

Outline of The Gospel of Mark:

1. Preliminary Ministry (ch. 1:1-15). 2. Galilean Ministry (ch. 1:16 – 8:26). 3. True Nature of Ministry (ch. 8:27 – 10:52). 4. Ministry in Jerusalem (ch. 11:1 – 13:37). 5. Passion Narrative (ch. 14:1 – 16:8).

Secrecy:

Although all Gospels mention Jesus hushing the recipients of his Miracles. Mark includes many more incidents than the others. Time and time again. Mark records Jesus ordering people not to speak of his miraculous acts of healing. Much of his ministry was Discreet. Just as God often works in mysterious and unseen ways in our lives. (Mk 3:11; 5:35-39.)

Incompetence of the Disciples:

Mark is Harsh in his depiction of the Disciples.

Making frequent mention of their confusion, bickering, and selfishness. On the one hand. This shows the futility of trying to understand everything God is doing. It encourages obedience even before total comprehension.

On the other hand. This encourages others who want to serve Jesus. But don’t feel adequately prepared or trained. The disciples were not especially gifted or especially attentive. Yet they changed the world. Because they Believed Jesus’ message and received His Spirit. (Mk 8:14-20; 9:31.)

Jesus is The Way:

Mark uses the word “Way” unusually often in his description of Jesus’ travels. Many of the most significant events and discussions in the book. Happen “along the way.” To somewhere or other. Showing that the Journey of Faith is as important as the Destination. That God is leading us down a particular Path. In order to prepare us for the next curve in the road. (Mk 1:2; 8:27; 9:33; 10:32,52; 12:14.)

The Gospel of Luke:

Luke’s Gospel Emphasizes God’s Fulfillment of his Promises to All mankind. Not only to his chosen people the Jews.

Luke stresses the inclusiveness of the gospel to every person. To Jews, to Gentiles, to everyone. Luke shows The Gospel being spoken to: Children, Women, the Poor, and the Disenfranchised. The Gospel of Luke was written, to give Assurance of the Validity of Jesus Ministry.

Outline of The Book of Luke:

1. Christian Beginnings (ch. 1:1 – 4:13). 2. Jesus in Galilee (ch. 4:14 – 9:50). 3. Jesus’ Journey to Jerusalem (ch. 9:51 – 19:44). 4. Jesus In Jerusalem (ch. 19:45 – 21:38). 5. Jesus’ Passion (ch. 22 – 24).

Eye witness to Historical Facts:

Luke 1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Luke records many Historical Facts that the other Gospels do not. Providing us with the most complete record of Jesus’s Birth and Childhood.

Luke places special emphasis on Jesus’ social ministry. To the poor, the oppressed, the lower class, the gentiles, the women, and the children.

The Infancy narratives in Luke 1:1-2:52 are unique to Luke:

These passages include. Both the foretelling and the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus. (1:5-25; 1:26-38; 1:57-66; 2:1- 21.)

Luke gives us the most information about Jesus’ childhood.

Luke defines The Gospel again as for the humble. The meek, the small, and the uninitiated. Even the little children Can Believe in Jesus with all of their Heart: That Jesus is the Savior of the whole world.

Luke 18:16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Women:

Luke makes it a point to show the prominent role that women played in Jesus’s Ministry.

This was very counter-cultural. As women were not even allowed to be trained by a Rabbi in these days. It serves as one more example of God’s heart for the oppressed. The Universal Scope of The Gospel. It was for All Men and All Women. Excluding No One from Salvation, the reach of God’s Love,. (2:38; 7:36; 8:1-3; 10:38; 15:8-10; 18:1-5; 23:27-31; 24:1-11.)

The Gospel of John:

John’s Gospel is rather different from Matthew, Mark, and Luke’s. They repeat the same events.

The Book of John Emphasizes Christ’s Deity portraying Him as God.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jesus is also the Word. Your Bible is the Word of God. Written by Jesus.

John 20:31 explains that the Book of John was written so people would have life (Eternal Life) by Believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

The spiritual Relationship we have with God through a New Birth is emphasized. To be Born Again by the Spirit of God.

The majority of John’s Gospel. Tells us about Christ’s last week on earth. Because this was the purpose of His coming. To save the world from Sin. And to give Eternal life. Jesus is “The Life.” And it is His life that He gives. Lays down for us.

Jesus is the Son of God who is equal to the Father:

Sent to finish the Father’s work in the world. God’s own glory is made visible in Him. (“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father,” 14:9.) What he does glorifies the Father. Importantly, a series of “I Am’s” spoken by Jesus.’ Echoes God’s naming of himself in. Ex 3:14. Showing that Jesus is God. Equal to God the Father. The Father and the Son are one. (6:35; 8:12; 9:5; 10:7,9,14; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1,5.)

Jesus’ words to Nicodemus in John Chapter 3 describes how to be Saved:

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? 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.

The Outline of the Book of John:

Outline: 1. Jesus public Ministry (1:19 – 12:50) 2. Private Ministry (13 – 17) 3. Jesus Suffering and Death (18 – 19) 4. Resurrection and Victory (20 – 21)

Jesus offered Salvation to the Gentiles:

Jesus and The woman of Samaria, Salvation is a Choice Offered to Everyone to Either Accept or Reject Jesus:

John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

Jesus is the Author of the Bible. He created the Heavens and the Earth. The subject of the entire Bible is Jesus.

Jesus’s Promise was the Redemption of mankind to Everyone who Believes on Him, Who Believes the Gospel Only to Be Saved:

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:

Jesus Taught Salvation to Everyone Not Just to the Jews:

There is Only One Way to Be Saved for both the Jews and the Gentiles, The Gospel. Not one plan of Salvation for the Jews and another for the Gentiles.

The entire Bible was written to and applies to Everyone from Genesis to Revelation. You cannot throw out entire books of the Bible. By saying incorrectly that they were only written to the Jews. Or to the Gentiles or some other group of people.

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

2nd Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

ALL, ALL, ALL, Scripture!!!!

Should Christians Celebrate Christmas? The Birth Of Jesus.

Yes. Christians Should Celebrate Christmas. The Birth of Jesus.

The Celebration of Christmas is Biblical. Jesus Birth was foretold in the Bible. It was Celebrated in Heaven. And was announced by a Heavenly Host of Angels to Shepard’s in the field.

In The Bible Jesus Birth Was Greatly Celebrated.

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Christmas in the Book of Matthew:

Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

Every year Christmas is under attack especially by “Christians.” By people who claim to be Christians.

Christmas Trees, Santa Claus, and everything involved with the secular celebration of Christmas is Pagan. Christians can celebrate Christ’s birth without all the Paganism.

Most Holiday’s that the world celebrates. Have Paganism involved with the Celebration. There is nothing Christian in the Celebration of Halloween for example. Please when you celebrate a Holiday. Understand everything you are doing.

The Celebration of Christmas and Easter are both Biblical. (The Pagan corruption of them. Does not change that they are Biblical.) While Halloween has no Biblical origin.

Do not buy. That there is no difference. Between the celebration of Halloween and the celebration of Christmas and Easter.

The Celebration of Christmas and Easter are both biblical (The Pagan corruption of them, does not change that they are Biblical.) While Halloween has no Biblical origin.

I am not saying Christians have to Celebrate Christmas and Easter.

I am saying if you do not Celebrate Christmas and Easter do not Slander and Condemn people who do.

Do not slander and condemn people who celebrate Christmas and Easter.

Christmas in the book of Luke:

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Jesus is God who became flesh to pay the Penalty for all of the Sins of the world.

Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

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.”

1 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:”

Christians we celebrate Jesus birth, his life, because his birth and his life are celebrated in the Bible. We are thankful for Jesus birth. So very thankful he died on the Cross, was buried, and rose from the grave, to Save us from the Penalty of all of our Sins.

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.

Biblical Salvation Is Under Attack: Once Saved Always Saved? Salvation = Eternal Life.

Salvation = Eternal Life. Once Saved Always Saved = Eternal Life.

Why would any Christian Question Once Saved Always Saved? Salvation Equals Eternal Life.

People who Teach you can Lose your Salvation are Lost.

They are not Christians. According to them Jesus did not Die For All of the Sins of the World. To Believe them you have to Deny dozens of Bible passages.

Why would Jesus willingly be born to Suffer, Bleed, and Die, A Horrific Death by Crucifixion if His Blood Sacrifice were not Enough to Save us from the Penalty of All of our Sins Eternally?

According to Cultist who deny Eternal Life / Eternal Security Jesus Died in Vain.

They are so full of Pride saying that They Do Not Sin.

Essentially they are All Anti-Christ’s. False Christ’s.

Why? Because They Think that Jesus’s Blood is Not Good Enough to Save them. They Think They are Superior to Jesus. That They Are Capable of Saving Themselves by Their Own Good Deeds. By Living Perfect Sinless Lives and By Doing Good Works.

These Lying Frauds are Completely Delusional!!! They Deny the Bible. What they do is use Human Philosophy, False Arguments, Human Logic as their Proof, Not the Bible. For their “Biblical Proof” they Take Verses that ARE NOT SALVATION VERSES and Pass them off Incorrectly as Salvation Verses to Push their Obvious Lies.

Only Jesus is Sinless. Only Jesus’s Blood Will Save You.

Isaiah 64:6

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

People who Claim that they Do Not Sin Are Insane LIARS.

Yes, Most People who Believe the False Teaching that a Person can Lose their Salvation. They Falsely Claim that they do Not Sin.

Many will Say:

“I Do Not Sin Willfully…” So according to them they might make MISTAKES, But they DO NOT SIN!!!

Their Arguments are Convoluted. Like a 4 year old with their Face Covered in Sugar and Jam, Saying:

“No, Mommy I Didn’t Eat Any of the Donuts…”

There is No talking to them Because they Refuse to Admit the Truth. Like a Child.

They Go on the Offense Instead of Admitting the Truth.

“You Use Jesus as a Fire Escape.” “You Just Want to Sin Like the Devil and Still Go to Heaven.”

They Will Accuse You of Phantom Sins:

“You Just Want to Live in Sin!!!”

They are Lying by Saying this, as they Deny that they Even Sin a Little Bit. They Make Mistakes. While You Sin Like the Devil, according to Them. They Have Very EVIL TWISTED LOGIC.

I Will Not Stand Before Jesus Denying to His Face that His Crucifixion was Not Good Enough to Save Me Eternally. That He Did Not Promise Eternal Life, Eternal Security.

People who Deny Salvation is Eternal Life, is Eternal Security. They ARE Spitting in Jesus’s FACE:

“Jesus Your Blood is Not Good Enough to Save Me!!!!” “You Died in Vain!!!! “I Am A Good Person. I Deserve To Go To Heaven Because I Did Not Sin My Entire Life!!!! I Spent My Entire Life Doing Good Works!!!!”

No I am Not Being Overly Dramatic. I have correctly repeated Their Arguments Exactly. Truthfully though Their Most Used Arguments are Even More Insane!!! I will Not Repeat Most of what they Say because it is even more Blasphemous than what I have already included.

To tell Jesus you Earned your own way into Heaven is Satanic.

You are either Saved 100% by Jesus. Or You are Lost depending on Your Own Good Works.

Counterfeit Christians Deny that Jesus Promised Eternal Life to the Believer. They Deny Eternal Life / Eternal Security.

Counterfeit Christianity, Their False Theology Denies Jesus’s Blood Atonement is Good Enough to Save Anyone. They Mock Christians that Believe the Bible. Christians Who Believe Jesus when He Said that He Gives Eternal Life.

OSAS = Once Saved Always Saved. It Is A MOCKING TERM THEY MADE UP.

Fake Christians Laugh at, Mock Christians that Believe they cannot Lose their Salvation.

“So you think that you can Sin as much as you want to and still go to Heaven…” “OSAS is a Lie…”

These Lost Frauds Falsely define what the Bible teaches. They create Strawman Arguments, that are meant to make you look Selfish.

The Truth is they are Self-Righteous, Trying to Work Their Way to Heaven. They are Actively Spreading Lies and Pushing People Into Hell.

Matthew 23:15

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.”

Read and Study the Bible so you will not be Deceived into Believing False Doctrines, False Gospel’s.

People who believe they can Lose their Salvation are not Saved.

They are working their way to Heaven.

Salvation is 100% Jesus. 0% human effort. You Did Nothing To Save Yourself From Hell. It is Prideful to say You have to Work Your Way to Heaven, Or to Stay Saved. This is Not Biblical. ETERNAL LIFE Means Never Ending, Forever. Jesus Saves Eternally. Salvation Equals Eternal Life, Eternal Security.

The Bible Teaches Eternal Life, Eternal Security:

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

John 4:14 “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Matthew 25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Denying Eternal Security, is Denying Jesus Words, The Bible.

If You Deny Eternal Security / Eternal Life, You are Working Your Way to Heaven. You are Saying Jesus Blood Atonement is Not Enough to Save You. You Cannot Work Your Way to Heaven.

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Hebrews 6:4-6 Does Not Teach a Saved person Can Lose Their Salvation.

It is saying what many other Scriptures say: That Jesus Died Once for All of the Sins of the World. It is Impossible for Jesus to Die Again for All of the Sins of the World. Jesus Already Paid for All the Sins of the World, Once was Enough.

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The Bible Does Not Teach A Christian Can Lose Their Salvation. Eternal Life Never Ends. Eternal Life = Eternal Security.

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:”

Eternal Life Romans 3 10 1 — Biblical Salvation Is Under Attack: Once Saved Always Saved? Salvation = Eternal Life. 12

1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

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.”

Matthew 25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

The Bible Teaches Eternal Life / Eternal Security Over and Over and Over Again.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

Jesus taught Eternal Life for Everyone who Believes on him. He taught a person can never lose their Salvation.

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

1st Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Jesus said, that a person goes to Hell / the Lake of Fire for Eternity!!!!

You Will Either Spend Eternity in Hell / The Lake of Fire or in Heaven.

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Everyone Will EXIST FOREVER!!!!

You have the Choice. HEAVEN or HELL.

It is So Ignorant to Say that a Jesus Did Not Teach Eternal Life / Eternal Security When He Did Repeatedly.

Jesus Taught Everyone has a Choice to Make. Either to Believe on Him and Go to Heaven for Eternal Life which is Eternal Security or to Reject Him and Go to Hell / The Lake of Fire for Eternity.

So Yes, Jesus Taught OSAS. Once Saved Always Saved. Jesus DID NOT TEACH A PERSON CAN LOSE THEIR SALVATION!!!!

ETERNAL LIFE!!!! ETERNAL LIFE!!!! ETERNAL LIFE!!!!

OR:

ETERNITY IN HELL / THE LAKE OF FIRE!!!!

It is Very Interesting that These People that DENY Jesus Taught Eternal Life is Indeed Eternal Security, That they Do Not Also Teach That Hell is Not ETERNAL.

How is it that they Deny Eternal Life / Eternal Security, When they Teach Hell is Eternal????

They Do Not Teach that a Person who is Sent to Hell / The Lake of Fire will Ever Get Out. No they Teach That People Will Spend Eternity in Hell / The Lake of Fire.

These Satanic False Teachers Are Obvious LIARS:

HELL / THE LAKE OF FIRE IS ETERNAL According to them.

But A Person who Believes on Jesus Can Lose their Salvation???????????? They are Not Given Eternal Life for Believing on Jesus Like Jesus said?????????????

Like All LIARS THEY ARE TWO FACED. They Only Believe Part of the Truth.

Jesus Taught that Going to Hell Was ETERNAL. He Called it the 2nd Death.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

The Book of Jude is Talking about The Counterfeit False Christians / False Christianity / All False Teachers. The People That Deny Jesus Taught Eternal Life / Eternal Security.

Jesus is Calling them Out for Their EVIL Speech, Their Lies. Read through this Blog as Many times as you need to, as Often as You Need to. Until You Understand The Truth of the Bible.

2nd Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Salvation is a Choice. It is a Freewill Decision to Believe on Jesus to Be Saved for Eternity. To Have Eternal Life in Heaven. To Believe the Gospel Only to Be Saved From Hell:

No One Has to Go to Hell. People Go to Hell for Only One Reason, For Rejecting Jesus’s Free Gift of Salvation:

John 12:48 “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”

People are Condemned to Hell / The Lake of Fire, Because They Have Rejected Jesus. Because They Have Not Believed on Him to Save Them:

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.”

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Nothing Can Separate Us From Jesus.

If you could Lose Your Salvation than Jesus. The Disciples, Peter, John, Paul etc…, They All Lied to Us.

They did not Lie. The Eternal Security Deniers are the Liars.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Once a Person Has Believed on Jesus Only to Save Them Than Nothing Can Prevent Them From Going to Heaven for Eternity.

Barabbas – Hell or Jesus – Heaven? Which do you Choose? This is the Ultimate Question. God is Asking Everyone to decide.

Heaven is where God’s Throne is. It is a city with streets of gold. It is full of Mansions.

Jesus Describes Heaven

Heaven is so Amazing that our human minds cannot even begin to comprehend it.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The Saints in the Old Testament looked forward to Heaven.

Faith in Jesus Blood Atonement Only Is The ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN For Everyone.

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Christians Need To FEAR GOD. GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.

Most Pastor’s completely gloss over these verses. And if they ever preach / teach them they do not tell Christians to Fear God. Why they need to Fear God. God will not accept all of our Christian works. Just look at Cain and Able.Heaven will not be only Joy unspeakable and full of Glory.

God has not yet wiped away people’s tears. “Shall.” Shall is a future event. People in Heaven are crying.

Things that will happen to every person in Heaven

The following is a depiction of what will happen. When the Bride of Christ. The Church gets to Heaven:

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Once a Christian dies they are immediately in Heaven with the Lord.

11 “Knowing therefore the Terror of the Lord…”

Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

We will Cry. When we see Friends and Family members Judged by Jesus. And cast into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

When Jesus creates the New Heavens and the New Earth we will not remember our Past. The Past will not even come into our minds.

Please do not miss out on Eternal Life in Heaven.

The True Meaning of 2nd Chronicles 7:14.

The Context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 is a Covenant of God with the Nation of Israel. This passage is Not a Salvation Passage.

The Bible clearly explains Salvation.

How to read the Bible with correct understanding:

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

God is Speaking to the Nation of Israel in all of these verses.

“…forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.” vs. 25

It is Imperative that we recognize Solomon’s prayer is for the Nation of Israel ONLY, No Other Nation.

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

Deuteronomy Chapter 6 details commands God told Israel to Obey.

The Davidic Covenant which is the “Seed” Promise. Of the Abrahamic Covenant.

Psalm 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Is there any place in the Bible where Salvation is Explained? How to Be Saved. Explained by Jesus, by John, by Paul?

There is only one place in the Bible Where a person asks how to be Saved.

When you read the Bible. You need to look at the entire context of the verse you are using.

Here is the entire passage in Acts Chapter 16.

To be Saved from Hell. Believe on Jesus. In the next verse Jesus tells us how to be Saved.

Believe on Jesus only to be Saved. Is Not an Isolated Teaching. The Bible says this repeatedly.

Belief in Jesus ONLY to Save you is what the Bible teaches.

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

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.

Life is Short. It is Important to know. What God’s Will is for our Life.

Do not take Life for granted.

Life is Short. Even if you Live to 120 that is Short. Because after a person gets to around 20. Life starts to Speed up a lot.

The Books of Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastics. Are full of cautions about life. And warnings about Wasting your Life.

Ecclesiastics Chapter 3 tells us the seasons in Life.

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Ecclesiastics is the most real straightforward book in the Bible.

Jesus instructions for how we Should and Should Not Live our Lives.

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Always Look to Jesus to find God’s Will for your Life.

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

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

If you are not Saved. Please Do Not Wait, to be Saved Later.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel.

Most Pastor’s completely gloss over these verses. And if they ever preach / teach them they do not tell Christians to Fear God. Why they need to Fear God. God will not accept all of our Christian works. Just look at Cain and Able.
Heaven will not be only Joy unspeakable and full of Glory.
