If Jesus came back today or you appeared before His judgement seat after death…will you be saved…Yes, or no?

If Jesus came back today or you appeared before His judgement seat after death…will you be saved…Yes, or no?


Do you know the good news of Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ was born of a virgin named Mary being the only Human God ever Fathered, so that no human could say they were greater than Jesus His only begotten (Fathered) Son. Jesus Christ being born into the tribe of Judah among Abraham’s people, his children or descendants, the Jewish people had to only obey the Ten Commandments to be considered sinless and Holy. Jesus Christ never broke one of the Ten Commandments and freely and willingly offered His sinless human life as a substitute for the penalty of breaking God’s Commandments. Jesus took a sinner’s punishment for you and me…so He could offer to teach you the truth so you can never do a wrong thing again…Jesus will forgive you of all past wrong doing and reveal to you the truth you need to repent (forsake wrong) and reconcile (find forgiveness) with your Creator. Jesus will never expect you to do a wrong or evil thing but will only ask of you to follow the truth and do what is right with your Creator.


Jesus said…Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled…

…All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto Me, all ye that labour 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…

…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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind blows where it lists, and thou hears the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit…

…Afterward (After His resurrection from the dead) he appeared unto the eleven (Judas being dead) as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them (The other disciples who said they seen Jesus after He was risen from the dead) which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them,

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mat 5:6 KJV Mat 11:27-30 KJV Joh 3:5-8 KJV Mar 16:14-20 KJV


For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) (cleanses the soul not the body) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him…

…Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls…

…And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (made alive) together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 1Pe 3:18-22 KJV Act 2:38-41 KJV Col 2:10-15 KJV


Will you be baptized to be saved and do what Jesus said do…Yes or no? Are you prepared to face the after life…yes or no? If judged by God today would you be saved? Have you been baptized to obey Jesus…yes or no?


Father we ask you would meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our flesh and minds so we can discern the truth and be converted to doing right by You our Creator please confirm this truth to us…In Jesus of Nazareth’s (Acts 22:8) name amen.

Sins of the flesh…eyes…and pride of life…

Sins of the flesh…eyes…and pride of life…


Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides for ever. 1Jn 2:15-17 KJV


Sins of the flesh…eyes…and pride of life…


And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Rom 1:28-32 KJV


Lust of flesh… fornication, murder, without natural affection,

Lust of eyes… covetousness, full of envy, inventors of evil things,

Pride in life… all unrighteousness, wickedness, maliciousness, debate, deceit, whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, malignity, despiteful, proud, boasters, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, implacable, unmerciful



Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1Co 6:9-11 KJV


Lust of flesh… fornicators, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexual), nor drunkards,

Lust of eyes… nor adulterers, Nor thieves, nor covetous,

Pride in life… nor effeminate, nor revilers, nor extortioners, nor idolaters



Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 5:19-21 KJV


Lust of flesh… fornication, lasciviousness, wrath, murders, drunkenness, revellings

Lust of eyes… Adultery, Envyings

Pride in life… uncleanness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, strife, seditions, heresies,


Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 1Ti 1:9-11 KJV


Lust of flesh…for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Lust of eyes…For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind,

Pride in life…ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons


He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev 21:7-8 KJV


Lust of flesh… But the fearful (cowards), murderers

Lust of eyes… whoremongers

Pride in life… unbelieving, abominable, idolaters, all liars, and sorcerers


Father please remove us from the sins of the flesh, eyes and remove all pride of life so we may not love anything or anyone more than You and Your Holy Son Jesus of Nazareth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Quotes from the Holy Bible concerning salvation…


For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved….He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to His own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all… Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him…

(Joh 3:16-17 KJV, Isa 53:3-6 KJV, Heb 5:8-9 KJV)

 

…Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved… And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent: Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead…For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith He was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongs unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God…For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

(Act 4:12 KJV, Act 17:30-31 KJV, Heb 10:26-31 KJV, 1Co 15:3-4 KJV)

 

Jesus the Christ of Nazareth (Acts 22:8) said…I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He (The Christ…Our Creators only Son), ye shall die in your sins…All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 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…And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

(Joh 8:24 KJV, Mat 11:27-30 KJV, Luk 11:9-13 KJV)

 

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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind blows where it lists, and thou hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit… All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world Amen… Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, 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.

(Joh 3:5-8 KJV, Mat 28:18-20 KJV, Joh 8:31-32 KJV)

 

…Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. (Mar 16:15-20 KJV)

 

How to baptize a person in total immersion for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit:

 

“In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, by His Authority, I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit based on your confession that Jesus Christ is the only Fathered of our Creator, the Savior of mankind…”

 

Then totally baptize them in water, watching the bubbles they not go up the nose if a creek or river or sea, then after plunging them raise them to walk in Truth and Spirit.

 

Prayer for deliverance:

Father, please meet our souls’ deepest needs and heal our souls deepest wounds, and restore us as a new creature in Christ, please help us do your Holy will and we renounce anything unholy, and we forgive all others, in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen. you agree? yes or no.
