God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts"!

Matt 3:8, “bring forth fruit worthy of repentance”

Matt 7:16-20, “you shall know them by their fruits, do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bring forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree brings forth evil. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire, wherefore by their fruits you shall know them”

Gal 5:22=24, “but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (self-control), against such there is no law and they that are Christ’s have crucifies the flesh with the affections and lusts”

Eph 5:9-11, “for the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth proving what is acceptable unto the Lord and having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them.”

James 3:17, “but the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace”


Just because someone says they have a word from God does not mean they know Jesus. There are many false Christs and Christians in the world who are deceived and deceiving others. There are many teachers that claim to know Christ and that their teaching is from Christ. How can you tell the difference from the authentic fruits of the spirit and those that are counterfeits of false teachers that transform themselves into apostles of God? By their fruits, are they overcoming evil with good? Are the cursing in Jesus name? Are they loving God by keeping His commandments or are they teaching the commandments of men? Many false teachers teach lip service will save you, saying ask the Lord into your heart and you will be saved. However Jesus said it requires more than honoring Him with your lips, He said in John 3:5, “Except a man be born of the water and the Spirit He CANNOT enter into the kingdom of God” Jesus also said this, Mark 16:15-16, “Go you into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that does not believe will be damned”. So you can believe all those false people that tell you what their teachers, and imaginations say is God’s will to be saved or you can believe the commands of Jesus. Will you obey Jesus rather than men that are religious nuts following their imaginations and man-made doctrines? When you do follow Jesus commands to be saved, then you will produce fruits of the Spirit.

Have you ever bowed your knees in surrender to Jesus Christ…if you try to please everyone then you please no one.

 

The Role of Jesus the Author of Salvation...

Jesus Christ of Nazareth said…he that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him (Jehovah) that sent Me. And he that beholds Me beholds Him that sent Me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him: the word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day…

…This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times…

Jesus said…For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him

…though He (Jesus) was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which He suffered; and having been made perfect, He became unto all them that obey Him the author of eternal salvation…

(Joh 12:44-48 1Ti 2:3-6 Joh 3:16-17 Heb 5:8-9)

 

We must all appear before Judge Jesus...

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. Wherefore also God highly exalted Him, and gave unto Him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father…

…For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But you, why dost you judge thy brother? or you again, why dost you set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to Me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. So then each one of us shall give account of Himself to God…

…For we must all be made manifest (made known) before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body (the church), according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad…

…And He that sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. And He said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and He shall be my son. But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

(Php 2:5-11 Rom 14:9-12 2Co 5:10 Rev 21:5-8)

 

We can overcome any form of temptation...if we fall then we reached for forbidden fruit...

Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that you may be able to endure (remove yourself from or overcome it) it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry (1Co 10:12-14 ASV)

 

Prayer of deliverance…and surrender to Jesus Christ…

Father I renounce satan and his kingdom…I renounce all other forms of creation…please reveal the truth to me so I can change and do right by You and Your Only Son in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
