The Truth

Brothers and Sisters. May I remind you, again, that salvation is not free . We have to earn it. Remember, the first thief on the cross who was hanged hurled abusive words at Jesus and said, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." But the other thief, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? "And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong." Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:39-43. Both thieves were sentenced to death on the cross. Jesus saved the second thief, but not the first. Do you know why? Because the second thief earned it, but the first thief did not. If the second thief had not said a word, both thieves will not be saved. And so, please understand that salvation must be earn...

"And pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the Sabbath . For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:20-22. Jesus said that we should pray that our flight will not occur on a Sabbath or in the winter when the Great Tribulation time arrives. Why ? Because the Sabbath must still be observed as a holy day thousands of years after God created the world, and after Jesus was crucified. This should tell us that whoever teaches that the ten commandments is abolished after Jesus was crucified will heavily pay the price for teaching lies and deceiving people. The Sabbath commandment to keep it holy was never abolished by God. It is still valid until Jesus returns, and observed in heaven and in the new earth. Readers, why do you think Jesus told us to p...

  Jesus Christ is God in human form . This is a story from the Bible about how Jesus was conceived. “ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name [was] Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored [one], the Lord [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women!" But when she saw [him], she was troubled by what he is saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. ” Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "[The] Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that ...

  Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. Can we be perfect? Yes, we can!    1. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.    6. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.     7. And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."      8. Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" Job is a perfect man - one who fears God, is blameless, upright, and shuns evil. Are we like Job who fears God, blameless, upright, and shun evil? When we were little chi...

Do we know how we were created according to the Bible?  Genesis 2:7 says “And the LORD God formed man [of] the  dust  of the ground ,  and breathed into his nostrils the  breath of life,  and man became a living being.” A man was made of dust or mud, and God breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and he became a living being. The Apostle James said, “For the body without the spirit is dead.” James 2:26. James tells us that we have a  body   and a  spirit . And the spirit or soul comes from God above. But our body comes from the ground below - dust or mud. The breath of life from God is our soul. The soul in us makes us alive. In other words, the body is the servant of the soul or spirit.  Many believers do not know that the “breath of life” is our soul. They think that it was just a breath that God breathed into the nostrils of man. No, the breath of life is our soul that makes us a living being. When we go to heaven, our souls o...

  Now as Paul made his defense before King Agrippa, Festus, a Roman procurator said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!" Acts 26:24. I believe that all Christian Pastors should be trained as lawyers or Attorneys-at-Law. Why? Because the Bible is a law book. It has cases, laws, regulations, commandments, rules, etc. You can learn about civil law and cases in law libraries called reporters or law reports. Reading the Bible is not like reading a novel. The Bible is a collection of the history of law since Adam and Eve. The Bible is a law book! Many Christians are confused when they read the Bible, especially the writings of the apostle Paul. Festus told Paul that much learning was driving Paul mad! Do you know why he said that? Because Paul's legal arguments were not easy to understand and often confusing. Utter confusion, I believe, was the primary reason why we now have over 45,000 Christian denominations or groups globally...
