EXPLICIT BIBLE TRUTH
Jesus
Who is he
What is he
Why is he
Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: KJV
Matthew 7:8 For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened. ISV
Romans 5:19 For as through the one man’s disobedience (Adam) the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One (man, Christ Jesus) the many will be made righteous (righteousness is the gift of God, Rom. 3:21-24, Eph. 2:8-10, ISV, KJV).
TODAY’S comments
“Eternal Life”
The prerequisite for the world to enjoy eternal life with God is to believe, trust in the Christian and Jewish God, the God of Abraham who raised our Lord Jesus from the dead. God is 100% righteous and is also omniscience, all knowing and omnipotent, all powerful.
Before we can get to faith in Jesus Christ we must be “Born of God”, 1John 5:1, 1Corinthians 1:18, which regenerates, quickens our spirit bringing our spirit into conformity with God’s Spirit. This process is done exclusively by God and is part of the process of âelectionâ.
Once we are born of God we have the Holy Spirit in permanent union with our Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our communicator with God and he translates our prayers to God’s protocol for communication with God.
The Holy Spirit also works on our soul through our regenerated Spirit to conform our soul to righteousness. The outcome of our faith then becomes the salvation of our souls also, 1Peter 1:9, Ephesians 2:10.
Acts 17:29 Being then the offspring of God (from Adam), we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.
Acts 17:30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth mankind that they should all everywhere repent:
Acts 17:31 inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men (mankind), in that he hath raised him from the dead.
The message given by God to the entire world is to repent, change your mind, turn to the righteous God. God knew in eternity past before the human race existed who would and who would not repent but we are all currently in process with the repentant people being conformed to righteousness with Jesus Christ being the model, pattern for righteousness and the non-repentant people being hardened by God.
If perhaps you are not walking with God, not trying to live a righteous life, not having faith in God then you still have a chance to repent, turning to God resulting in a new and a better but imperfect life on Earth and an eternal and perfect life in the future in the new Heaven and Earth, 1Timothy 2:3-5, Revelation 21:1.
The present creation has been subjected to futility by the Creator God, John 1:1,10,14, Romans 8:20.
We all have volition, self will and we all have intellect and we can choose to emulate the righteous God with dignity. If you are enjoying or just living an unrighteous life style it is only temporary and will lead to misery and in the end destruction.
Satan is being used by God as a tool to resolve the Angelic and Human Sin problem. Just before we enter the Eternal Kingdom, “the Kingdom of God”, Satan will be cast into the “Lake of Fire”. Satan, formerly Lucifer is the source of idolatry including Darwinism and all false religion and he is a loser to the omnipotent, all powerful God.
The righteousness of Jesus Christ is the “Gift of God” to the elect of God who are the repentant of mankind.
You are invited in the Bible to come as you are. This is not of the flesh, outward appearance but is a change of your mind which will produce overt, outward changes in your future life here on Earth.
God is willing that none, no human should perish but that all people should come to repentance and the knowledge of the truth, Matthew 9:13, 1Timothy 2:3-5.
Those who enter the âLake of Fireâ will do so by their own volition, self will as God has made provision for all humans to be saved!
John 14:1 Do not let your heart be troubled; you believe (trust) in God, believe (trust) also in Me (the man, Christ Jesus).
John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. But if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you!
Romans 4:20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he (Abraham) grew (post salvation) strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,
Romans 4:21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
Romans 4:22 That is why his faith was “counted to him (Abraham) as righteousness.”, Abraham lived about 2000 years before Christ.
Romans 4:23 But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone,
Romans 4:24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him (the God) who raised from the dead, Jesus our Lord,
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
1Jn 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him (God).
1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments (the children of God are your neighbor’s in the “Body of Christ”, the Church, âLove your neighbor as your selfâ, Matthew 22:37-40).
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
