Are you worth your salt…

Are you worth your salt…

Listen to some words from Jesus in the New Testament of Christ which is new agreement between God and creation…


Matthew 5:13-16 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.


Matthew 25:31-46 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.


34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; 36 naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came unto me.


37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? or athirst, and gave you drink? 38 And when saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you? 39 And when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you?


40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, you did it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry, and you did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.


44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it not unto one of these least, you did it not unto me. 46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.


Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


Father, help us be faithful and love You and our neighbor as ourself…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you worth your salt…
Are you worth your salt…

Seek you first…things first…

Seek you first…things first…

Jesus said these words found recorded in the New Testament of Christ…


You shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment…


In all of the greatest things a man can Do is put Jesus first place in your life…all any soul can do is what is right by God first then fellow man…once the Truth has been revealed…

 

But seek you first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof….


God does not give us a command we cannot obey…God commandments are not grievous…Jesus gives a light and easy yoke…if Jesus says you cannot lie then He supplies the way not to lie…God always supplies what is needed to fulfill His command…

 

Judge not, that you be not judged.  For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you.  And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt you say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye…


We must first get ourselves right with God before we entertain others salvation…

 

If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother hath aught against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift...


God says to be right with Him…you got to be right with your brethren…your fellowman…cab you shake any man’s hand and look them in the eye or you done someone dirty…need to make it right…Sometimes God will not hear us until we do the right thing…

 

You shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets.

 

Father, please remove anything between us and You and may we always be faithful in the Truth…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus said these words as is written in the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Christ…


…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. …If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…


Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light…


I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned…


If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it…


After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen...


For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

The best a soul can do is what is right when it learns the truth…We supposed to be like a balance of brains and faith…a knowing the truth from God…then doing His will or the most good…the right thing…by God and fellowman…the truth is like the past…it cannot be changed and stands for Himself…Jesus the Christ from the town Nazareth…the only qualified of God…to take away our evil deeds the bible calls sin…was punished for you and me as if He broke all Ten Commandments of God…even though He never broke a command of God and did a wrong or evil thing…the innocent Lamb of God slain for sinful men and women…so He could teach us the truth and we do the right thing by Him and our fellowman…Jesus supplying our needs to do His will…Jesus the Christ died so you could choose truth over fiction…love over hate…forgiveness over justice…mercy concerning others instead of an eye for eye…Jesus died so you could never choose the wrong thing…and says He will teach you the truth that will set you free from the lies and things that lead to evil deeds or sin…All you have to do is agree to obey the truth once the truth is revealed to you...

 

 

Father we renounce any form of creation and ask to receive only from Jesus your Son…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
