JOHN 3:16 REVISITED

 
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.“
John the Apostle, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples wrote that whoever believes in Jesus will have eternal life. But Jesus said, to clarify what John said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers!'“ Jesus explained that believing in Him only is not enough to have eternal life, “but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” will complete it.  
Please, don’t panic. We can still change if we want to, regardless of how old we are, unless we are stubborn. Doing the will of Jesus’ Father is important, very important, if we want to go to heaven.
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. "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. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also. "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. "At that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 
"He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"  Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.“ John14:1-3,15,18,19-24,27.

WHO IS THE LAW FOR?

Readers, when God gave to the prophet Moses the Law (Ten Commandments) that law was not for Jesus to observe and keep. That law was for the Pope, pastors, priests, ministers, preachers, presidents, doctors, bus drivers, you, me, and for everybody to keep and honor! Do you know this? Do we understand this simple logic? We are to keep and honor the Ten Commandments until WE  die, and not until Jesus dies. Do we understand this simple logic? I am amazed to see how “smart” the newborn Christians are. They believe that Jesus died to pay for our sins. And after Jesus died, we are no longer bound by the law. But they have no proof of their nonsense other than what the “apostle” Paul has written. Have they ever thought about why God the Father has given us the law? NO. God gives us the law because there is an urgent need for the law. It tells us about our obligation toward God, and our obligation toward each other. That is what the law is all about. Jesus’ death on the cross does ...

DO NOT CALL GOD'S NAME IN VAIN

Readers, do you know why God doesn't want us to call His name in vain? Because He is holy , and as such He expects us to treat Him with respect and reverence . Exodus 20:7. It is listed as one of the Ten Commandments. Do Christians treat Him with respect and reverence? No, they ignored and trashed the words of God the Father , and replaced it with Paul’s “law of Christ”. Is that what love of God means, trashing God's holy words and replacing it with Paul’s “law of Christ”? “ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2. One Internet writer wrote that the core of the "law of Christ" is the command to love God and love others , as "Jesus loved us". I don't think that Christians believe that Jesus loves us. If they do, why do they treat God the Father like crap ? Why do they treat Jesus like double crap? God the Father said, by way of Jesus, "If you love Me, keep My commandments". Do most Christians keep His ...

THE FAITH OF ADAM AND EVE

  I thank God for giving me ideas on what to write everyday. Today I am going to write about the faith of Adam and Eve. Why not? Faith is such an important subject that I owe much to all of my readers if I write nothing or only one or two sentences. or paragraphs. Let me begin by quoting what Saul of Tarsus wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9. “ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works , lest anyone should boast “ According to Paul  we are saved by faith . I understand clearly what he said. But faith in whom? Faith in Jesus? Faith in God the Father? Faith in Saul of Tarsus? Or faith in the serpent? I am assuming Saul meant faith in Jesus . Let us go back to the story of Adam and Eve so we can understand better what faith is all about. Genesis 3:1-6, “ Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of ever...
