Jesus warning to make Him your only source and supply for life…

Jesus warning to make Him your only source and supply for life…

 

Beware of false prophets (Christians), who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves (devils or liars). By their fruits (deeds) you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, (grapes do not come from thorns) or figs of thistles (figs do not come from thistles)? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit (nothing violating the ten commandments); but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit (deeds). A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit (if Jesus is your source you end up with good deeds), neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit (an evil source cannot end up with good deeds) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

…Therefore by their fruits (deeds) you shall know them (see what they do). Not everyone that says unto Me, Lord, Lord (acknowledge my Authority and Position), shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy (preach or tell forth truth) by your name, and by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (who have sin as your source) Mat 7:15-23 ASV

 

 

Encouraging words to render obedience to the word of God…


But Jesus answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it…So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ…But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding (diverting from the path) your own selves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: for he beholds (sees the reflection of) himself, and goes away, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was (forgets his reputation or reflection). But he that looks (seeks) into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continues, being not a hearer that forgets but a doer that works (remembers what God said and does it), this man shall be blessed in his doing. (Luk 8:21 Rom 10:17 Jas 1:22-25)

 

 

Good deeds and roots which cause them in Christ…


But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Let us not become vainglorious (seeking man’s approval), provoking one another, envying one another…Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness (humbleness), meekness (obedience), longsuffering (enduring hardship); forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do you: and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also you were called in one body; and be you thankful… What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace (favors from God) may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? Or are you ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. (Gal 5:22-26 Col 3:12-15 Rom 6:1-4)

God always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus…the gates of hell will not prevail against us…

God always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus…the gates of hell will not prevail against us…

…But thanks be unto God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and makes manifest through us the savor (saving influence) of His knowledge in every place…For unto which of the angels said He at any time, You are my Son, This day have I begotten (Fathered) You? and again, I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to me a Son? And when He again brings in the firstborn into the world He says, And let all the angels of God worship Him (Jesus). And of the angels He saith, Who makes His angels winds, And His ministers a flame of fire: but of the Son He says, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed thee With the oil of gladness above your fellows. And, You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Your hands: They shall perish; but You continue: And they all shall wax old as does a garment; And as a mantle shalt You roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But You are the same, And Your years shall not fail. But of which of the angels has He said at any time, Sit You on my right hand, Till I make Your enemies the footstool of Your feet?... But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 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 (all creation) should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy living and godliness, looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? But, according to His promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2Co 2:14 Heb 1:5-13 2Pe 3:8-13)

 

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences…Jesus Christ said…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, has one that judges Him: the word that I spoken forth, the same shall judge Him in the last day…Not every one that says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but He that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by your name, and by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity (evil…not my will)… (2Co 5:10-11 Joh 12:47-48 Mat 7:21-23)

 

Do you know what Jesus said on the matter…have you not read the New Agreement between God and creation called the New Testament (agreement) of Jesus Christ? Yes or no…

 

What is Jesus’s prescribed method of remedy of evil doing…what is His prescription, remedy and cure for your soul’s deepest needs…of forgiveness and mercy…

 

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sin scars…we renounce anything and anyone un-Holy please have mercy in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

May the mercy of God outweigh the justice of God in your soul's favor...

May you find God’s mercy not judgment when considered by the Almighty God…

 

For as the Father raises the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He will. For neither does the Father judge any man, but He hath given all judgment unto the Son…For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men…God forbid: yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your words, And might prevail when you come into judgment. But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visits with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?...

(Joh 5:21-22 2Co 5:10-11 Rom 3:4-6)

 

…But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? Howbeit if you fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself, you do well: but if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors…He that oppresses the poor to increase his gain, And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want… But this I say, He that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that you, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work…

(Jas 2:6-9 Pro 22:16 2Co 9:6-8)

 

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs for repentance in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
