A Loving Exhortation to the Lukewarm “Saved Sinners”
WHY SO MUCH WORD /SCRIPTURE IN THIS POST????
I believe the word is powerful and some may finally fall down before the Lord JESUS calling on him as Lord after hearing or reading the word. Examples of how powerful the word is or can be…
Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Even before the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST>>>
Psalms 119:11 “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
Psalms 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
JESUS said while in prayer >thy word is truth.>>>
John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
AND in Psalms it says this about the TRUTH of the LORD>>>
Psalms 91:4 “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
If some don’t like TRUTH OR THE word of God they might not like the following with much more of the word/scripture…
>>>>Someone said BE THOU AN EXAMPLE of the believers how?
1 Timothy 4:12 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
Did Christ leave an example that some should follow in his steps?
1 Peter 2:21-23 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”
1 John 3:7 “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.”
BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO >ARE WE< IN THIS WORLD???? Huh????
Was this some sort of self righteous statement OR have some just not understood yet?
1 John 4:17 “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.”
I am going to tell you right now, IF you are claiming to be a Christian , PROfessing the glorious Lord JESUS CHRIST, you better be AS HE IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD, because if not, what power was the BLOOD of JESUS unto you?
Are you not able to show forth the praise of him like YE SHOULD that called you out of darkness and INTO his marvelous light?
1 Peter 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
Remember the bible says this in Colossians 2:6 >>>”As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him”……………. Can you? NOT just you but you WITH CHRIST?
You have been CREATED IN Christ JESUS where you are able to walk in good works that God ordained, right?
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
You have been baptized INTO Jesus Christ, right?
Romans 6:3 “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?”
You have been made a NEW creature in Christ where old things are passed away and , behold, ALL things are become new, right?
2 Corinthians 5: 17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
You HAVE put on the NEW MAN, like so, RIGHT????
Ephesians 4:24 “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
You have been called unto holiness, RIGHT?
1 Thessalonians 4:7 “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
You do know this, right?
Hebrews 12:14 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”
You are and became one who CAN DO all things through Christ and are not one that will for sure do sin like many say they will which sin IS NOT and CANNOT be done through Christ, right?”
Philippians 4: 13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Can you, you WITH God with JESUS with you always DO ALL things through Christ? OR, will you be one that will for sure do some things that can’t be done through Christ????
How about we live THE WAY WE SHOULD looking for the appearing of the Lord JESUS CHRIST ? the way the grace of God teacheth????
Titus 2:11-13 “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”
YOU must be UNSPOTTED or you will pay eternally in the Lake of Fire… Turn and obey Jesus.
James 1:27 “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
YOU MUST OVERCOME IN THIS WORLD TO GET INTO HEAVEN
Revelation 3:5 “HE THAT OVERCOMETH, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I WILL NOT BLOT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.”
Proverbs 8:35 “For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. 36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.”
The brother that posted this exhortation for all to see was loving as Jesus commands. End of brother Pep’s comments. I conclude below.
Leviticus 19:17 “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise REBUKE THY NEIGHBOUR, and NOT SUFFER SIN UPON HIM.”
Proverbs 27:5-6 “Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”
Turn to Jesus today and don’t believe the lie that was spoken in the garden:
Genesis 3:4 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die”
Genesis 3:16-17 “Unto the woman he (GOD) said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
