Hear the Gospel of Christ...the good news of Christ

A Good News devotional of just scripture…Quotes from the New Testament of Jesus Christ…as it is written…

 

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith… But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him… For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom 1:16-17 Heb 11:6 Rom 10:13-17)

 

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 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… 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… Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them… 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 (1Co 15:1-4 Joh 3:16-17 Heb 7:25 Heb 5:8-9)

 

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… I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins… Afterward He (Jesus) appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them 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 everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. (Joh 8:24 Joh 3:5-8 Mar 16:14-20)

 

Father please show us mercy and cover the faithful with grace, mercy, peace, joy, love, and virtue…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

A simple test to see if you despise/hate God or love/hold to God…

A simple test to see if you despise/hate God or love/hold to God…

 

Simple Test

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one (Jesus), and love the other (world); or else he will hold to one (Jesus), and despise the other (world). You cannot serve God and mammon (this world)...Matthew 6:24.

 

Who do you do it for? Love your neighbor as yourself…

  1. Do you despise the lust of the flesh…Do you hate the lust of the flesh…or do you gratify the lust of the flesh by holding to it or loving the flesh more than God?

  2. Do you despise the lust of the eyes…Do you hate the lust of the eyes…or do you satisfy the lusts of your eyes…Do you hold to the lust of the eyes more than God…thinking you are blessed with what you see or Do you love the lust of the eyes thinking you are blessed because you have what your eyes see?

  3. Do you despise yourself…Do you hate yourself…or do you put yourself second and your brothers third and your neighbors fourth? Or Do you put self-last and sacrifice to serve God? Do you love your neighbor or do you love yourself… Do you despise having to help your neighbor or do you rejoice in God is using you to be an avenue of grace towards your neighbor? Are you sharing what God has given you or do you charge for God’s will to be done?

 

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves 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 vainglory (the self-glory) 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 forever...1 John 2:15-17…

…Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled...Matthew 5:6...

…Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law...Romans 13:8-10…

…For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness...1 Timothy 6:10-11.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive and convert me from the love of the world…or holding on to the world…that I may learn to put You first and serve You and be blessed…please change my heart and mind and direction so that I may be fit for heaven my home…I truly have nothing but You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Have you taken advantage of the At-one-ment through Jesus…are you at one with our Creator?

A message of the atonement of Jesus Christ of Nazareth from the Holy Scriptures…

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...1 Timothy 2:3-6. For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten (Fathered) 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...John 3:16-17. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance...2 Peter 3:9.

…That they should seek God, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He (God)  is not far from each one of us: for in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man. The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now He (God) commands men that they should all everywhere repent: inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead...Acts 17:27-31.

…Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead…He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. And in none other (soul) is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved...Acts 4:10-12 Though He (Jesus Christ of Nazareth) 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; named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek....Hebrews 5:8-10. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause He (Jesus Christ of Nazareth) is the mediator of a new covenant (agreement), that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant (agreement), they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance...Hebrews 9:14-15.

 

 

 

 

Jesus Christ of Nazareth said…

All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth any (soul) know the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal him. Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (Truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:27-30. Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If you abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32. But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles (unbelievers) seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek ye 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...Matthew 6:30-34.

 

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. And He (Jesus) spoke this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. And he said unto the Vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung (fertilize) it: and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down...Luke 13:5-9. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and 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 anew. The wind blowsh where it will, and thou hear the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit...John 3:5-8. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (chooses to disobey or rebel) shall be condemned...Mark 16:16.

 

Jesus answered, The first (of all commandments) is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: and you shalt love the Lord thy God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:29-31. If ye love Me, you will keep my commandments...John 14:15. And Jesus came to them and spoke unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go you therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world...Matthew 28:18-20.

 

 

 

So what must you do…

And Peter said unto them, Repent you (all), and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation. They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls...Acts 2:38-41. because if thou shalt confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be put to shame...Romans 10:9-11 And now why tarry you? arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name...Acts 22:16.

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit…yes or no?

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten (Fathered) of God: and whosoever loveth Him that begat (Fathered) loveth Him also that is begotten (was Fathered) of Him. Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous (hard). For whatsoever is begotten (born) of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one...1 John 5:1-8. And this is love, that we should walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist...2 John 1:6-7. Whosoever goes onward and abides not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son...2 John 1:9.

 

Do you believe Jesus Christ of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead…yes or no? and Do you believe Jesus Christ became the Author of Salvation and instituted a New Agreement or the New Covenant of Christ…yes or no?


Have you put on Christ in baptism…yes or no? Will you be baptized so that you can be saved…yes or no? Do you want to be saved from eternal punishment in the lake of fire…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please help us in our faith and confirm these truths to us so we can prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…please lead us in the truth so we may be saved…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
