TRUE GOSPEL

Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
1 Peter 3:18-22


TRUE GOSPEL  - Christ’s Suffering and Ours
  
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
There is also an antitype which now saves us baptism not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.


Isaiah 29:8
It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, And look he eats,  But he awakes, and his soul is still empty, Or as when a thirsty man dreams, And look he drinks,  But he awakes, and indeed he is faint, And his soul still craves:  So the multitude of all the nations shall be,  Who fight against Mount Zion.”


Revelation 21:6
And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

To him who knocks it will be opened

 Lamentations 3:25-26
 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.


Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the LORD:
“ Cursed is the man who trusts in man  And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.


Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.


Hebrews 13:14
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.



Speak to me Lord

Daily prayer

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much


(James 5:16)

(Matthew 6:8-13)
“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
In this manner, therefore, pray:

      Our Father in heaven,
      Hallowed be Your name.
      Your kingdom come.
      Your will be done
      On earth as it is in heaven
      Give us your DIVINE PROVISION our
      sufficiency this day
      Release us from what causes us to
      miss the mark (being like you)
      SO THAT we can release all who have
      obligations towards us
      And do not lead us into temptation,
      But deliver us from the evil one.
      For Yours is the kingdom and the power
      and the glory forever.
      Amen.

1-- Our Father, who art in heaven
Admit that God is your father. Love others (specially Christians) for God is their father too, that is why you say OUR Father. For example, thank you God that you love me so much and that I may be your child even though you are so powerful and I have not earned it.
2 -- Let your name be sanctified
God is holy and his name will not be abused (unpunished). Do not believe in the false God, a man who fancied himself to believe in imagined God or a non-conformity of the God of the Bible.
3-- Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as in heaven
God's will is best for all of us, so we pray that God will show us what he wants us to do today and that we get the power to do so. You can ask God for help to transform you into likens with his ideals. Pray for situations that are beyond your control and for others to turn to God.
4 -- Give us your DIVINE PROVISION our
      sufficiency this day
Here you can ask God for everything that you need (not desire), clothing, jobs, security, etc. You can also pray for your friends, family, neighbors and your enemies. Ask God to teach you "not to worry but to trust him". Please be specific in your prayers, you will be surprised.
5-- Release us from what causes us to miss the mark (being like you)
Ask God to forgive you for what you know you've done wrong. Confess. You may have been gossiping or complaining, ask God for help to overcome your sins.
6 -- SO THAT we can release all who have
      obligations towards us
Think about it, if there is someone you do not have forgiven. Do you still have the bitterness large or small, ask God for help to forgive these people. It may help to pray for these people. Ask God for help to look at the people (who are hard to love) through his eyes.
7 -- And lead us not into temptation
The temptation will come exactly where your shortcomings are, ask God for wisdom to see how you can do according to His will. You will not go further before you passed your test which will be repeated until you pass.
8 -- but deliver us from evil
There is a vicious active force that only God can protect us from. Ask for it and trust that he can and wants.
9 -- For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen!
All power belongs to God and not to any manTrust that God has the power to change, be still and wait for an answer. Imagine that everything around you will perish, but God will remain as a winner.





Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name ...



Ephesians1:17-23.
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto me a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; having the eyes of my heart (understanding) enlightened, that I may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in me as a saint, and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards me who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.




Colossians1: 9-14.
I pray and make request that I may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks unto the Father, who made me meet to be partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light; who delivered me out of the power of darkness, and translated me into the kingdom of the Son of his love; in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of my sins:


Phillipians1: 9-11.
And this I pray, that my love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that I may approve the things that are excellent; that I may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.


Hebrews13: 20-21.
Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament), Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make me what I ought to be and equip me with everything good that I may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in me and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages). Amen (so be it).


Ephesians3:14-21.
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he would grant me, according to the riches of his glory, that I may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith; to the end that I, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that I may be filled unto all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

Wise Virgin - Simplicity in Christ

"2Cor 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."

In the above verse, "the simplicity that is in Christ" is taught as his simple godly love, which readily saves any sinner who believes that he is the Son of God and believes in his death, burial and resurrection.

It appears to be simple and acceptable. But in reality the verses say something else. Verse 2 says that the writer, actually the writer is the Holy Spirit with godly jealousy want to present this bride as a chaste virgin to Jesus Christ. The simplicity in Jesus is to accept a chaste virgin and not an adulterous woman who simply believes something great about the Groom.

The wholesome word of God also agrees that Jesus will make his bride spotless and she will keep herself pure for his coming.

"Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. "1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." The wrong teaching will encourage the people to believe great and marvelous things about Jesus Christ, but not to obey him to keep themselves pure. So, look with the proper context to know the true meaning of the word and verify whether it agrees with the wholesome word of God. Then you cannot be misled.
Only Few are Saved

"Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." One of the disciples asked Jesus Christ whether just a few people are going to be saved. Jesus Christ answered saying that unless they strive to enter through the strait (tight, constricted) gate they cannot enter into eternal life. He says that many people will seek easier ways to enter, but they will not be able to enter. If they don't enter into eternal salvation then it is eternal destruction.


Easy salvation is not true salvation, but it is counterfeit salvation, which is deception and eternal destruction. 

Water and the Spirit


We just saw that born again is the second birth which is the act of a person receiving the spiritual body or the spirit man in addition to the physical body. This enables the person to see the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ says that a person must be born of water and of the Spirit in order to enter into the kingdom of God.


"John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." 

Born of water means that a person must be washed by the water of the Word and the person must become a renewed person. This means that he must obey the word of God as he continues in it.
"Eph 5:26 
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." As he is obedient to the word of God, he receives the Holy Spirit from God.
"John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." As he submits himself totally to the will of God, the Holy Spirit will lead his total life, as a mighty wind carries a particle wherever the wind want to carry.

"John 3:8
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." This person is born of the water and of the Spirit. This believer enters the kingdom of God.


 

Almighty God

God created the whole universe and all the things in it with its minute details.
We are His creation, taken from the dust of the earth, and we will return to the dust. 



But everybody will be called back from the dust again to receive the rewards according to whatever we have done while we were living on earth. Our life on earth is considerably short when compared to eternal life. If we have perfect obedience in this short life to suffer with Jesus, then we will reign with Jesus Christ throughout eternity. Won’t it be marvelous? Is it not the good news?
This is the true gospel.

"Rom 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together "2 tim 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: "Rev 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Amen."

Born Again

According to the Bible a true Christian will have two births:

The first one being born of the flesh, the next is born of the spirit.

Jesus Christ says that we must be born again in order to see the kingdom of God.
"John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 

When a man is convicted of his sins by the Holy Spirit, if he responded with repentance of broken heart and contrite spirit, God forgives him and gives him the spirit of man, in order to pursue his spiritual life.
"John 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
In the same fashion a person receives a body of flesh at the physical birth, a person receives a body of spirit (the spirit man) from God as he is born of the spirit, which is his second birth. Now this person can see the kingdom of God because of the spirit man.

Gospel of Jesus Christ

God lives in the glorious place called heaven.


"2 Chr 30:27
their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven." The heaven is so glorious that even the description of heaven cannot enter in the minds of people. God purposed to give the godly glory to some people so that they may live with him, rule with him and be a part of him forever. So, God chose a group of people in order to give them this privilege.


"Isa 64:4
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways:"


God chose them by their work of righteousness and by their rejoicing in doing their work. This message is the good news (the gospel) which rewards whosoever believe in Him. Believe in Him means believe in what Jesus Christ has said, enough to obey Him. Those who responded with their obedience will receive the reward according to their works, including to sit on His throne and to rule with Him.




Jesus the Example


God, the Creator of everything that exist, became a man in order to bring salvation to us. While He was a man, He did two important things so that we may benefit. Because of His death, He became the author of salvation to forgive us. He lived a life of example so that we may follow His example to live a holy life and receive a great reward.


(1) We all know that He died for our sins. It is true. We also have to look at the process of how His death brings our salvation. As a man, He submitted Himself to God totally. Please read the following scripture verses, word by word very carefully. He surrendered Himself completely in obedience to God and He became the Author of eternal salvation. This salvation is given only to those who obey Him.


"Heb 5:7
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;" We have to obtain this salvation by the obedience with trembling and fear.
"Phil 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."


(2) Most of us do not know that He has lived a sample life as a Man, for us to follow. That life is a life without sin. "
1 Peter 2:21
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,--" He lived a holy life and asked His followers to live a holy life. "
1 Peter 1:14
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." In order to live a holy life we have to be saved from our sins.


Jesus Christ became a man not only to forgive the obedient but also to lead them in a holy life.
