Why Am I Alive? Why is my Purpose?

ARE YOU TRULY READY? HAVE YOU FULFILLED YOUR PURPOSE TO GET INTO HEAVEN?

The Day of the Lord Will Come
2nd Peter 3:1-13 “This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 12 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”

PURE RELIGION AND PURE OBEDIENCE

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 (HOLY).”

CHRISTIAN CHARITY OR ETERNAL PUNISHMENT

1st John 3:17 “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

God made you to serve Him…PERIOD. If you are not living HIS will and obeying HIS commandments, God’s WRATH abides on you (John 3:36).

GOD’S WRATH ABIDES ON SINNERS

NOT BEING FAITHFUL (OBEDIENT) = SIN = ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. NOT ONLY ARE SINS OF COMMISSION DAMNABLE BUT SINS OF OMISSION ARE TOO!

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not (MEANING DOES NOT OBEY – A SINNER) the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH (ANGER/CONDEMNATION) of God abideth on him.”

READ PAST JOHN 3:16 (“CONDEMNED ALREADY)
JESUS CLEANSES FROM “SINS THAT ARE PAST”

Romans 3:25 “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his(JESUS’) blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God”

YOU ARE PURGED FROM OLD SINS (NEVER CURRENT OR FUTURE)!

2nd Peter 1:9 “But he that LACKETH these things is BLIND, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS.”

1st Corinthians 3:19 “For THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.”

2nd Corinthians 1:12 “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in SIMPLICITY and GODLY SINCERITY, NOT WITH FLESHLY WISDOM, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.”

Does not matter how “successful” you are to the world…. In fact, if the world loves you, then you are an enemy of Jesus (God).

James 4:4 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD is ENMITY WITH GOD? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world IS THE ENEMY OF GOD.”

Does not matter your position in your “church”, community, etc… If you are not following HIS will in everything, you will perish.

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.”

WWJD?? HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU LIVE A BASTARDIZED AMERICAN “CHRISTIANITY” THAT COULD NOT BE MORE FURTHER FROM JESUS??

1st John 3:17 “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

Because of the fall (rebellion against Jesus’ (who is God) authority by Satan and a 1/3 of the angels in Heaven) when sin entered the world, most all will not make it to Heaven (including the vast majority that profess Jesus as their Saviour but don’t obey Him).

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (YE THAT WILLFULLY SIN).”

One will not understand if they are not truly repentant, constantly abiding in Jesus and doing His will.

1st Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

1st Corinthians 2:12-16 “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But THE NATURAL MAN (those without the Holy Spirit including all the fake professing ‘christians’) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

2nd 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.”

Mark 10:23 “And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!”

Matthew 19:24 “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

The Christian life is one of obedience. A lifelong march of obedience in the same direction. This is the true meaning of being a Christian, to ABIDE in JESUS.

To WALK as HE WALKED.

1st John 2:3-6 “And hereby we do know that WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 4 He that saith, I know him, and KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: HEREBY KNOW WE ARE IN HIM. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought HIMSELF ALSO SO TO WALK, even as HE (JESUS) walked.

What Jesus did on the Cross was NOT take anyone’s place, BUT Provide Himself as A SIN OFFERING; (Hebrews 9:14 “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit OFFERED HIMSELF without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” to ransom Man and turn him from darkness to Light, from the power of Satan to God; Acts 26:18 “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”

To love Jesus is to obey Him in everything.

John 14:15 “IF ye love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”

John 15:10 “IF YE KEEP MY COMANDMENTS, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.”

2nd Thessalonians 3:6-14 “Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye WITHDRAW YOURSELVES from every brother that walketh disorderly(SINS), and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly (IN SIN), working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 14 And if any man (SINS) OBEY NOT THE WORD by this epistle, note that man, and HAVE NO COMPANY WITH HIM, that he may be ashamed.”

To be His friend you must constantly abide in Him…believe (obey).

John 15:14 “Ye are my friends, IF YE DO WHATSOEVER I COMMAND YOU”

John 15:6-7 “IF a man abide NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them INTO THE FIRE, and they are BURNED. 7 IF ye abide in me, and MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU (TOTAL OBEDIENCE), ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

Jesus is only the Author of your salvation IF you OBEY HIM.

Hebrews 5:9 “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation UNTO ALL THEM THAT OBEY HIM.”

Matthew 5:48 “Be ye therefore PERFECT, even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT.”

“GOD HATES THE SIN BUT NOT THE SINNER” WAS SPOKEN BY ONE OF THE MOST WICKED PEOPLE TO WALK THE EARTH… GANDHI!

GOD HATES THE SIN AND THE SINNER BUT HIS LOVE (SIN OFFERING) IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE WHO TRULY REPENTS AND OBEYS/ABIDES IN HIM.

Romans 1:18 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all (SIN) ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness”

GOD’S WRATH ABIDES ON THE SINNER
John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not (MEANING DOES NOT OBEY – A SINNER) the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH (ANGER/CONDEMNATION) of God abideth on him.

Grace teaches us to live Holy.

Hebrews 12:14-17 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”

THERE MUST BE A FALLING AWAY (FROM FAITH) FIRST BEFORE JESUS RETURNS FOR HIS BRIDE

2nd Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”

How can anybody deny the FALLING AWAY as if it isn’t mentioned in the Bible? Its spelled out in Black and White! It’s in FULL SWING NOW and those who dny it
may have already become a part of it.

Matthew 24:10-11 “And then shall many BE OFFEDNED (fall away), and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall DECEIVE MANY.”

Proverbs 13:18 “Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.”

Proverbs 15:10 “Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.”

1st John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS.”

Psalms 26:9 “GATHER NOT MY SOUL WITH SINNERS, nor my life with bloody men”

Hebrews 7:26 “For such an high priest (JESUS) became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS and made higher than the heavens”

Willful sinners are not heard.

John 9:31 “Now we know that GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS: but IF any man be a worshipper of God, and DOETH HIS WILL, HIM HE HEARETH.”

Isaiah 59:1-2 “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities (SIN) have SEPARATED between you and your GOD, AND YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE FROM YOU, THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR.”

Isaiah 1:15-17 “And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I WILL NOT HEAR: your hands are full of blood (SIN). 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil (SIN) of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.”

James 4:6-10 “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God RESISTETH THE PROUD (SINNER), but giveth grace unto the humble. SUBMIT YOURSELVES therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, and he will flee from you. 8 DRAW NIGH (CLOSE) TO GOD, and (THEN) he will DRAW NIGHT TO YOU. CLEANSE YOUR HANDS (STOP SINNING), YE SINNERS; and PURIFY YOUR HEARTS (STOP SINNING), ye double minded. 9 Be AFFLICTED, and MOURN, and WEEP(ALL CONDITIONS): let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE YOURSELVES in the sight of the Lord, and(THEN) HE shall lift you up.”

Proverbs 28:9 “He that TURNETH AWAY (SINS) his ear from hearing the law, EVEN HIS PRAYER SHALL BE ABOMINATION.”

Willful sinners have never known Him.

1st John 3:3-7 “And every man that hath this hope in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF, even as HE (JESUS) is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.”

YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO AND WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY

Revelation 22:11 “He that is UNJUST, LET HIM BE UNJUST STILL: and he which is FILTHY, LET HIM BE FILTHY STILL: and he that is RIGHTEOUS, LET HIM BE RIGHTEOUS STILL: and he that is HOLY, LET HIM BE HOLY STILL”

1st John 5:18-21 “We know that whosoever is born of God SINNETH NOT; but he that is begotten of God KEEPETH HIMSELF, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”

Sinners are of the devil.

1st John 3:8-10 “HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9 WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, neither he that loveth not his brother.”

The MORAL LAW is God’s command for a true believer.

Psalm 119:33-35 “Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.”

Do you love God’s law or do you believe in the lie of unconditional imputed righteousness?

Psalm 119:97 “O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.”

The Angels only encamp around the obedient.

Psalm 34:7-9 “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.  9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”

Acts 16:22-25 “And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates RENT OFF THEIR CLOTHES, and commanded to BEAT THEM.  23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them(WHIPPED THEM), they CAST THEM INTO PRISON, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison(WORST PART), and made their feet fast in the stocks(SHACKLED). 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas PRAYED, and SANG PRAISES UNTO GOD: and the prisoners heard them.”

Christians are taught the commandments of Christ so that they might obey them.

Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Christian are to suffer.

1st Peter 4:12-17 “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But REJOICE, inasmuch as ye are PARTAKERS of Christ’s SUFFERINGS; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be GLAD also with EXCEEDING JOY. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, HAPPY ARE YE; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part HE IS GLORIFIED. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL?”

Acts 5:41 “And they departed from the presence of the council, REJOICING (NOT DEPRESSED) that they were counted worthy to SUFFER SHAME FOR HIS NAME.”

Galatians 6:7-8 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

Those who have turned to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith prove the authenticity of their conversion by their obedience. This is the order and no other imposter shall you listen to but the Authority… The Word (Jesus).

Matthew 3:8 “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance”

CAN’T LOSE YOUR SALVATION?? GOD SAYS DIFFERENTLY!

Revelation 2:5 “Remember therefore from whence thou art FALLEN, and REPENT, and DO THE FIRST WORKS; OR ELSE I will come unto thee quickly, and will REMOVE thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

One must, in Godly sorrow, confess AND forsake their sins.

Proverbs 28:13 “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso CONFESSETH and FORSAKETH them shall have mercy.”

You must depart from evil (DEPART FROM SIN).

Psalm 37:27-30 “Depart from evil(SIN), and do good(RIGHTEOUSNESS); and dwell for evermore. 28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever (AS LONG AS THEY ABIDE): but the seed of the wicked (SINNER) shall be CUT OFF. 29 The RIGHTEOUS shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh , and his tongue talketh of JUDGMENT.”

Matthew 12:33-37 “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”””

2nd Corinthians 7:10-11 “For GODLY SORROW worketh REPENTANCE to SALVATION not to be repented of: but THE SORROW OF THE WORLD WORKETH DEATH. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, WHAT CAREFULNESS it wrought in you, yea, what CLEARING OF YOURSELVES, yea, WHAT INDIGNATION, yea, WHAT FEAR, yea, WHAT VEHEMENT DESIRE, yea, WHAT ZEAL, yea, WHAT REVENGE! In all things ye have APPROVED YOURSELVES to be clear in this matter.”

“99%+” who profess Jesus as their Saviour never have Him as their Lord thus will perish in their lukewarmness.

Revelation 3:15-16 “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art LUKEWARM, and neither cold nor hot, I will SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH.”

Luke 14:26-28 “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”

There will be great division (Luke 12:51-53, Mark 10:34-36, etc).

And the way a true Christian expresses his love is to witness Jesus until his dying day.

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 (WORLDLY LOVE) of an enemy are DECEITFUL.”

Proverbs 13:24 “HE THAT SPARETH HIS ROD HATETH HIS SON: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes(EARLY/PROMPTLY).”

Proverbs 23:13 “Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.”

Psalm 26:1 “A Psalm of David. JUDGE ME, O LORD; for I HAVE WALKED IN MINE INTEGRITY: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.”
1 Timothy 5:20 “THEM THAT SIN REBUKE BEFORE ALL, THAT OTHERS MAY FEAR.”

2 Corinthians 5:11 ”Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”

2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, REBUKE, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”

Titus 1:13 “This witness is true. Wherefore REBUKE THEM SHARPLY (WHY?), that they may be SOUND IN THE FAITH”

Titus 2:15 “These things speak, and exhort, and REBUKE WITH ALL AUTHORITY. Let no man despise thee.”

IF YOU DON’T OBEY THESE COMMANDS YOU WILL PAY FOR ETERNITY WITH YOUR SOUL IN HELLFIRE

WATCH THIS WARNING

1st Peter 4:18 “And if the RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY BE SAVED, WHERE SHALL THE UNGODLY AND SINNER APPEAR?”

1st Corinthians 6:9-10 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters (SPORTS, “AMERICAN DREAM”, A PARTICULAR COUNTRY, etc), nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (HOMOSEXUALS/LGBTQXXX), 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

And to sacrifice everything.

PURE RELIGION AND PURE OBEDIENCE

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 (HOLY).”

CHRISTIAN CHARITY OR ETERNAL PUNISHMENT

Matthew 25:41-46 “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

James 5:1-6 “Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.”

THIS LEADS US INTO THE NEXT TEACHING THAT I WILL POST SOON

The Fellowship of the Believers
Acts 2:42-47 “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And ALL THAT BELIEVED WERE TOGETHER, and HAD ALL THINGS IN COMMON; 45 And SOLD THEIR POSSESSIONS AND GOODS (NON-NECESSITIES), and PARTED THEM TO ALL MEN, AS EVERY MAN HAD NEED. 46 And they, CONTINUING DAILY IN ONE ACCORD in the temple, and BREAKING BREAD FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

READ THE FOLLOWING KEEPING IN MIND 21,000 PRECIOUS CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 DIE DAILY FROM MAN-MADE POVERTY IN THE 3RD WORLD

1Co 12:24-27 “For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that THE MEMBERS (OF CHRIST) SHOULD HAVE THE SAME CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER. 26 And whether ONE MEMBER SUFFER, ALL THE MEMBERS SUFFER WITH IT; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”

Titus 3:10-11 “A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”

Warning Against Idleness

2 Thessalonians 3:6-14 “Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.”
