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.

God has got you…encouraging message as it is written to remain faithful…

God has got you…encouraging message as it is written to remain faithful…


Are you condemned or have you not been baptized and are faithful…

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death…But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwells in you…For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity (sicknesses): for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (cannot be heard); and He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Rom 8:1-2 Rom 8:11 Rom 8:24-27)


To Jesus Christ be the victory…

And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom He foreordained…them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified…Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us…Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 8:28-30 Rom 8:33-34 Rom 8:37-39)


God knows what you need before you ask Him…

For the word of God (Jesus is the Word) is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart… And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily (Truly) I say unto you, They have received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall recompense you. And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knows (Omniscience) what things you have need of, before you ask him… Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. (Heb 4:12 Mat 6:5-8 Heb 7:25)


Prayer

Father please search us and help us remain faithful and supply our needs we know you can create whatever we need for our life here on earth as we learn to humbles ourselves and obey Your written word…please meet our souls deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Let your past make you better…not bitter…What is written in the Bible about Christian Graces…let your past make you better…not bitter


Let your past make you better…not bitter…What is written in the Bible about being a better man not a bitter man…let your past make you better…not bitter…develop Christian graces…2Pe 1:3-10 KJV Give…All diligence…all your effort…all your resources…to be Godly men…and add these Christian graces to your character…


Christian graces…

2Pe 1:3-10 KJV  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:  4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.  5  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;  6  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;  7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.  8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  9  But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.  10  Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

 

All diligence…all your effort…all your resources…to be Godly men…

  1. Faith…without faith it is impossible to please God… Heb 11:1 KJV  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…we have to believe God exist and we are trying to please Him with our conduct.

  2. Virtue…moral excellence…holy character…purest intentions…the doing of good deeds…

  3. Knowledge…knowledge of how to be Holy…knowing what to do in order to do good deeds

  4. Temperance…self-control…self-discipline…self-will surrender…having a sound mind making sound moral decisions

  5. Patience…the not growing weary in well doing…the bearing up under trials…the endurance of applying knowing with virtue and faith.

  6. Godliness…the character of the Holy…the result of applying self-control with patience while exercising the virtue and faith needed to be of Godly character.

  7. Brotherly Kindness…be kind to Christians…know how we treat others the Lord will treat us… Mat 7:1-2 KJV  Judge not, that ye be not judged.  2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

  8. Charity…love for all souls…if you treat everybody like Jesus then you will receive the same treatment as you gave… Eph 6:5-9 KJV  Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;  6  Not with eyeservice, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;  7  With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:  8  Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.  9  And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

 

1Co 16:13-14 KJV  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you…(behave) like men, be strong.  14  Let all your things be done with charity (love).

 

Jesus said… Luk 14:26-35 KJV  If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.  27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.  28  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?  29  Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,  30  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.  31  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?  32  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassage, and desires conditions of peace.  33  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.  34  Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?  35  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

Will you surrender to Jesus the Christ of Nazareth…yes or no? Will you render obedience to the truth and do what is right by your Creator…Yes or no? Jesus said…blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be filled…satisfied…do you want to be satisfied by Jesus and be right with God and your fellow man…yes or no?

 

Jesus said…

Joh 6:35 KJV  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…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.  28  Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29  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.  30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Mat 11:27-30 KJV 

 

Will you agree to read the New Agreement given by the Author of Salvation so Jesus can teach you the truth and empower you to do right with God and fellow creation…Yes or no?

Jesus died and the cross and was raised from the dead so you could have a way of reconciliation with God…so you could understand the truth needed to do God’s will…so He could equip you with eternal life and show you how to live with God for eternity…Jesus died so all your wrongs could be forgiven and so He could teach how never to do a wrong thing again…sound like good news…yes or no?

 

Joh 3:5 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… He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mar 16:16 KJV 

 

Have you ever been baptized to please Jesus…yes or no? Will you be baptized to obey and please Jesus who will reveal the truth to you so all you have to do is what is right with God and others…yes or no? Let your past make you better, not bitter…

 

Father please grant us repentance and mercy and these Christian graces so we may remain faithful and fruitful please meet our souls deepest needs and may we prosper as our souls prosper in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
