Strength is not my strong point. I am weak.

What you need:
(1) to keep your life from idolworship of dead people e.g. Mary/people/saints because idolworshipers do not inherit the Kingdom of God.

I am doomed to hell. I know i am. Fact as i cannot stop loving the lady i committed adultery with!! Always in my mind!!!!

Ok I will tell you what you should believe:

(1) Mary was a righteous lady. She is DEAD. Christians do NOT pray to people or even-more to DEAD people! Prayer is a conversation with God. DEAD people or average people they DO NOT hear prayers. Because prayer is a COMMUNICATION line like a mobile phone with God ONLY. DEAD people do NOT answer your calls!!! Because GOD is the ONLY Supreme Being having this mobile communication line!!! Because He is ALL-KNOWING. This means He knows EVERYTHING even our prayers before we utter them!
Prayers to dead people is like stupid prayers of Muslims to dead people...such prayers do NOT rise higher than a ceiling!

(2) Prayers to people or dead people or icons is MADNESS!!!!
There is NO madness in the God of Israel and Christianity. This madness was created by people only.

(3) You should REPENT of your sins ABANDONING THEM and confessing them in a prayer to God. If you will NOT stop committing them, you will die in sins and God will judge you for these sins like unbelievers no matter what is your name "a christian" or a sect leader.

(4) We can love our first love ALWAYS. But we cannot live in sins with those who are not legal for us. We should marry them according to the law of God or we should ABANDON what is wrong..them. There is no third option for us. BUT we can love our first love ALWAYS because Love NEVER stops.

 

[Goatee]

Look, we Catholics believe differently. Mary, 'IS' alive, in Heaven!

She is no ordinary 'human'. She is 2nd only to Jesus. She IS His Blessed Mother!!!! What do you think Jesus thinks of the woman that bore him?

Come on, please! Mary IS VERY SPECIAL. MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can you dismiss the Mother of Jesus! The Mother of God!! How??????

Die today!​

Bible Study​

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
— Psalm 90:12
It's hard to explain when someone's life has been cut short, dying at a relatively young age. We expected that person to live a much longer life. But who is to say that it wasn't his or her appointed time to go? Who is to say that it wasn't the exact length of life that God had preordained for that man or woman from the very beginning?

In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul says of King David, "Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors" (Acts 13:36). David, great a man as he may have been, served God's purpose in his own generation and then was taken off the scene.

That is why we want to make every day count. To paraphrase the words of Moses in Psalm 90:12, "Lord, help us to realize our lives can end on any day, so please show us how to use each day wisely."

We don't know when our day will come. We don't know when we will have "served God's purpose in our own generation." When God calls you home, you're going home! You can live on vitamin C, zinc, and echinacea. You can drink green tea, eat tofu, and avoid all the toxins you can, but when your number is up, your number is up.

On the other hand, you will be around until God is done with you. You won't go before your time. You may or may not be the healthiest person, but you will live to the time that God has appointed for you—and worrying about it won't extend your life for one moment.

At the same time, however, we aren't to take foolish risks and "put the Lord to the test." We can be assured that we are here until God is done with us. As the apostle Paul said, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). So let's make the most of the lives God has given us. As missionary Jim Elliot once wrote, "Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God." Live to the hilt every situation and die everyday of your life!
Believers must die to sin, and live to God!

The apostle is very full in pressing the necessity of holiness like the God of Israel and His Son Jesus. God shows in the Holy Bible that connection between justification and holiness are inseparable. Let the thought be abhorred, of continuing in sin that grace may abound. True believers are dead to sin, therefore they ought not to follow it. No man can at the same time be both dead and alive. He is a fool who, desiring to be dead unto sin, thinks he may live in it.
(Ro 6:3-10)


Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6

Live to the hilt every situation and die everyday of your life!
​

The Father loves the Son,
and has given all things into His hand.
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life;
and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”

Shipwrecks​

Bible Study

Shipwrecks​

The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

— 2 Timothy 4:18

Paul could have a calm heart in the middle of the mother of all storms because he knew he was in the center of God's will for his life. He was on business for God.

In his prison cell back in Caesarea, Jesus Himself had stood by Paul and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome" (Acts 23:11). Then, in the middle of the storm out at sea, an angel stood by Paul with this message from God: "Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar" (Acts 27:24).

Bear witness at Rome . . . brought before Caesar . . .

Paul knew that God would get him to where he was supposed to be—at the right time, in the right place, and with whatever he needed to complete the job at hand. With these things in mind, Paul could even relax in the middle of a hurricane . . . just before a shipwreck. He knew he had heaven's business to transact in Rome, and he knew that God would get him through any difficulty along the way. He was walking in God's plan, and he could rest in the fact that it was God's responsibility to get him through—rough seas or not!

The same is true of our service to the King Jesus. He is our God and our Creator! No, we aren't assured of smooth sailing, and we're not promised immunity from shipwrecks (or viper bites!) along the way. But we are definitely assured of a safe arrival in the Kingdom of God if we WALK in righteousness

with God and live NOT in sins as unbelievers

!

Know this: As long as God has work for us to do here on earth, we will be here to do it. God will preserve us to do it. And when that work is done, it is done, and He'll bring us home to heaven—not a moment too soon and not a moment too late.

This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight

, 19 keeping faith and a good conscience

, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck

in regard to their faith.
1 Timothy 1:19


1 Timothy 1:5
The goal of this command is love

, which comes from a pure heart

and a good conscience

and a sincere faith

.

1 Timothy 3:9
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience

.


Titus 1:9
He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it

.


REMEMBER, Christians: If you reject a good conscience living in sins then you will suffer shipwreck of your faith and get to the prison hell and the Lake of Fire like all unbelievers and sinners! This is Christianity taught by GOD in the Holy Scripture!


1 Timothy 6:21
which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith...

2 Timothy 2:18
...who have departed from the truth. ....





35 The Father loves the Son,
and has given all things into His hand.
36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life;
and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”

We- CHRISTIANS- are DEAD for sins​

Bible Study

We are DEAD for sins



Who are the Righteous Children of God and the HOLY sons of God?

Where does the Holy Bible teach us that we should be holy as God is HOLY and righteous/godly people?

Let's consider a few Bible verses today (Romans 8):

QUESTION: Who are justified and forgiven of their sins?

ANSWER: Those who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ( Romans 8:1).

What does it mean? How to walk according to the Spirit of God?

God sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh. Why? To justify us- who do NOT walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ( Romans 8)

How to walk according to the Spirit of God?

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will DIE; but if by the Spirit YOU PUT to DEATH the DEEDS of the body, you will LIVE.

How?

We die daily for our sins to stop sinning to live with God walking according to the Spirit of God!

Why should we do it?

For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are SONS of God.

We have to be BORN of God/sons of God if we WANT to see the Kingdom of God (John 3)!

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (Rom 8: 16-17)

"He (JESUS) himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might DIE to sins and LIVE for RIGHTEOUSNESS..1 Peter 2:24

Romans 6:1-2
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
By NO means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Romans 6:11
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:13
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.

"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with

Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified with Him." Romans 8:17


God's people-Christians- are not only called His "portion," His "special treasure, but also His "inheritance."

This suggests that an "inheritance is obtained through DEATH: so God's inheritance is secured to Him through the death of His beloved Son.

An "inheritance" is for possession, it is something which is entered into, lived upon, enjoyed.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance" (Psalm 33:12).

The "nation" here is identical with the holy nation i.e. Christians," the "chosen generation, royal priesthood, peculiar people" of 1 Peter 2:9. This favored people was chosen by God to be His inheritance.

Just as a man who has inherited a house or an estate takes possession of it and then makes improvements, so God is now fitting His people -believers- for Himself. He who has begun a good work within His own is now performing it until the day of Jesus Christ (RETURN of the Son of God) (Phil. 1:6). He is now conforming us to the image of His Son. "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me" (Psalm 138:8). Nor will God be satisfied until we have been glorified. The Lord Jesus Christ "shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body!" (Phil. 3:21) "When he (the SON of GOD) shall appear—we shall be like Him!" (I John 3:2)

Revelation 21:1-4: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever."

1 John 3

New King James Version

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called CHILDREN of God!

Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He (JESUS) is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified with Him." Romans 8:17

Christians are sons of God and heirs of God!

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Summary:

QUESTION: Who are justified and forgiven of their sins?

ANSWER: Those who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
(Romans 8:1).

Christian Prayers​

Pour out your heart

"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
— John 11:21
Martha was never one to hold her tongue. You always knew where you stood with this lady! "Lord," she said, "if You would have been here, my brother would not have died." To paraphrase it, "Where were You anyway, Jesus?"
Maybe you've said something similar during or after some crisis in your life.
Lord, where were You when my parents divorced?
Lord, where were You when we got that diagnosis of cancer?
Lord, where were You when our marriage fell apart?
Lord, where were You when I lost my job?
Lord, where were You when my child got into trouble?
Lord, where were You when my loved one died?
Please notice that Jesus didn't reprove Martha for what she said. It isn't wrong to tell God exactly how you feel. I think we sometimes get the idea that it's irreverent or sinful to express our real fears or the doubts of our heart, even to God. When we read the psalms, we learn there were many times when David and the other psalmists really "let their hair down" with God. They cried out to Him and emptied the contents of their hearts in His presence.
I have done this many times. In my pain, I will cry out to God. Sometimes the reality that my son is gone hits my heart like a sledgehammer, and I say, "Oh, God. I can't believe this! I can't handle this pain!" But then I will preach to myself, and I'll say, "Now Greg, listen to me. Your son is alive — more alive than he has ever been before. He's in the presence of the Lord, and you are going to see him again in just a few years." And I will remind myself of the promises of God.
My prayers, however, are wide open and honest. I pour out my heart before God, describing my pain to Him. But I also remind myself of God's truth. And that is what prayer is.
God wants us to cry out to Him. He invites us to pour out our hearts before Him. David writes, "Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge" (Psalm 62:8, NIV).


35 The Father loves the Son,
and has given all things into His hand.
36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life;
and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3 ​

Make firm your inner life​

Bible Study

You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord JESUS is at hand.

— James 5:8
Everything is looking great when, all of a sudden, a storm cloud appears. Something horrible happens. That is why the Bible tells us, "Establish your hearts" (James 5:8). Another way to translate this verse is, "Strengthen and make firm your inner life."

The same word is used to describe Jesus' attitudes and actions when He headed for Jerusalem, knowing what awaited Him there: "Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem" (Luke 9:51). Jesus, being God, had full knowledge of all that was about to unfold, yet He resolutely set out for Jerusalem. That is the same meaning behind the word establish in James 5:8.
God wants us to be rooted and grounded, yet many Christians aren't. They have not taken the time to develop the habit of personal Bible study or the discipline of prayer or SELF-CONTROL or even regular church attendance. But God is saying we need to get rooted because our faith will be challenged. We will face hardship. And a storm can come, just when we're least expecting it.
We have to sober up and get READY for the Return of our Lord Jesus!

JOEL 2:1 -
"Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain (ISRAEL)!

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
For the day of the LORD is coming;
Surely it is near,
A day of darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As the dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a great and mighty people;
There has never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it to the years of many generations."

1 Thess.4:16-17--"For the Lord (JESUS) Himself will descend from heaven with a shout! with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus shall we always be with the Lord!"
This is the Last Hour.. and the One who is coming soon, and very very soon, is Jesus Christ, the First and the Last, the Aleph and the Tov, the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega, Yeshua the Messiah -our Creator, Lord, God, and Savior.
So get ready by opening your heart and mind, and trusting in and receiving our Messiah, Yeshua-Jesus as your God on our planet soon to LIVE a GODLY life NOW and soon and forever....
He created our planet and He is coming BACK!



35 The Father loves the Son,
and has given all things into His hand.
36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life;
and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3 ​

Holy and righteous living is what following Christ is all about. Faith is the mere minimum to following Jesus. By God's grace we are led to Him and His truth. We then believe on Jesus Christ and His works. We put our faith in His promises, that He will deliver so to speak. That is bare minimum Christianity. Most people think that just believing is enough. But Jesus said "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
It is clear from this passage and many others that those who do wickedly will not be saved, no matter how much you believe in Christ as your Lord. We must do His will in our life. What is God's will? It is His teachings in the Bible. All of them. Which is why we must be diligent to be in the word everyday studying and making sure we are. Make sure you are reading from the KJV, other modern day Bible versions are satanic counterfeits, modified to work in Satan's favor.

What about that?
Christians and Muslims in hell

Guys,

You all know what God said... that all Muslims will be in hell for idol worship of a false god in Islam.
But what about Christians?
Let me explain you why in both languages in English and Arabic for Muslims.

Do you know that the sectarian and "christian" sects will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived neither Orthodox, nor Catholic, nor Protestant and Evangelical Armenians, nor Copts and nor Anglicans and SDAs, nor Carismatic nor Assyrians, nor Almurmn, nor Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons and the apostolic sects ..... and other sects will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those people will be saved who "take cross" every day and follow the Lord/God who is Jesus Christ, and IMPLEMENT the Holy Bible and pray in an atmosphere of deep spiritual test in order to know the will of God in our life ..they will inherit the Kingdom of God.

ألستم تعلمون أن الطائفيين والمتحزبين لطوائفهم لا يرثون ملكوت الله؟؟ لا تضلوا لا الأرثذوكس ولا الكاثوليك ولا البروتستانت ولا الأرمن ولا الأنجيلية ولا الأقباط ولا الأنجليكانيين ولا الأدفنتست السبتيون ولا الكاريزماتيكيين ولا الأشوريين ولا المورمن ولا شهود يهوة ولا الرسولية ولا .....ألخ من طوائف ترث ملكوت السماء. فقط الذي يحمل صليبه كل يوم ويتبع المسيح يسوع الرب، ويقراءة الكتاب المقدس ويصلي في جو الأختبار الروحي العميق في الصلاة لكيما يختبر أرادة الله الصالحة المرضية لحياته في كل يوم يرثون ملكوت الله.أمين

There is a major (important) difference between this
and
what
Y'SHUA told (instructed) HIS disciples.

The scribes and the pharisees, remember, were rebuked by Y'SHUA.

The disciples, Y'SHUA told them instead to pray frequently (every day take time, several times a day) to get alone with THE FATHER IN HEAVEN and pray.
GRADUALLY, Y'SHUA said, their focus would change from themselves to the FATHER. (it takes time)

All the time, Y'SHUA said, just as HE HIMSELF did, (only what the FATHER said to do, and everything the FATHER said to do, perfectly as an obedient SON),
the disciples were told to do likewise - always do what the FATHER said to do, and only do what the FATHER said to do, every day: nothing of themselves. (it takes time)

Jews, you are gods!

As you already know, I am a Jew. God called the only nation on our planet "the Jewish nation" as the HOLY nation separated from pagan religions and idols.

For you (JEWS) are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
Deuteronomy 7:6

But WHY Jews are gods?
What does God mean by saying 'you are gods' in Psalm 82:6 and John 10:34?
God stands in the congregation of the mighty;
He judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are unstable.

6 I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
For You shall inherit all nations.
Psalm 82

Our God Jesus speaks:
“Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’? If He called them (JEWS) gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
John 10

Do you remember that God created people in His image?

It is clear from the verses above that the word “gods” refers to magistrates, judges, and other people who hold positions of authority and rule.
Calling a human magistrate a “god” indicates three things: 1) he has authority over other human beings
2) the power he wields as a civil authority is to be feared
and 3) he derives his power and authority from God Himself, who is pictured as judging the whole earth in verse 8.

Who are these people who judge the Christian world and will judge the fallen angels/demons/aliens? They are SONS of God..HEIRS of God!

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He (the SON OF GOD JESUS) is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1 John 3

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
1 Corinthians 6:3

Ok, we are sons of God because we are "BORN of GOD" through our faith in His Son and repentance. But who are you? Sons of devil?!

In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
1 John 3

God called the only nation on our planet "the Jewish nation" as the HOLY nation separated from pagan religions and idols to OBEY the God of Israel. And also God calls all people who chose to believe in THE SON OF God as heirs of God, sons, kings and priests ...
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
1 Peter 2:9

What a wonderful God! Glory to You Lord Jesus!

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3​

I want to quote what my friend Ella said:



In Jesus you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit Ephesians 2:22



We must continue to allow God to create in us a clean heart and renew the right spirit in us.



God can only tear down the building that we have build within ourselves as we give Him permission and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work in us.



Once God has torn down what we have built on the wrong foundation, He begins a new work of reconstruction and restoration in us, rebuilding and remodeling our old structure removing ourselves as the old headstone, and replacing it with Jesus Christ as our new head cornerstone....



But this can't be done without us totally surrendering to the Holy Spirit, giving Him permission to do so, converting our old building into new creations and new creatures in Christ thus, presenting us before God as a new place acceptable for His holy and pure dwelling place.



He who began a good work in us, will not have this building competed until Jesus comes.

 

[versavia]

God imputed us the righteousness of His Son to live a GODLY/HOLY life.



This is Christianity.

Our Churches do not teach it.

But that is the main topic of the NT and Jesus in His teaching: HOLY and GODLY life of Christians.





If we do NOT live a godly life then we live in sexual immorality and other sins.

Is it ok to be a son of God and commit such sins?

If it is ok for you then you should know what our God Jesus said:



SEXUAL immoral people do NOT inherit the Kingdom of God!



For I tell you that unless your righteousness

SURPASSES that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matth 5:20

 

[versavia]

I mean it is our responsibility to live in sins or with God.



If we will live in sins then God does not live with us.

He abandons sinners (sexual immoral people..)



If we live in sins, we will die in sins and after death God will judge us for our sins.



That is CLEAR.



What is the result of such sins/life style? Sexual immoral people do NOT inherit the Kingdom of God, unbelievers/in-the name-only believers too.



That is why it is OUR responsibility to COOPERATE with God and ABANDON our sins in repentance to live with God...



Or we have the second option: ungodly life, leading us to the Lake of Fire.
