You ever caused God to rejoice…


See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. For the Son of man came to save that which was lost. How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goes astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish...Matthew 18:10-14. My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he who converts a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins...James 5:19-20. And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26.

 

You ever seen a loved one teach a false doctrine after knowing the truth…or see them fall into following a false teacher…or false doctrine…yes or no?


Some say it is just a white lie…no it is false witness…some say it he was not using it properly so I took it…no it is stealing…I wish he did not exist…no it is hate and the beginning of murder…some say it is idolatry…no Jesus said to bear my cross it is a reminder around my neck…some say I want it and got it myself…no it is coveting…some say I do not have to take care of my parents…no it is not honoring your father and mother…some say it is just pictures not pornography…Jesus said it is adultery in your heart…some say God will accept any song and form of worship…no we must keep ourselves Holy and worship in Spirit and the Truth…some say O my God…no it is using His name wrong unless you are praying or teaching about God. Some say there are many ways to God…no you shall have no other God than our Creator and His Only Fathered human Son born of a virgin…so that no human could say they are greater. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me (the Truth)...John 14:6.

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief...1 Timothy 1:15. And He spoke this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if He lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until He find it? And when He hath found it, He lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when He cometh home, He calls together His friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with Me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance...Luke 15:3-7.


What is repentance…it is 180-degree turn around…a turning from self to God…from lies to truth…from self to Jesus. It is a change in behavior…a change in direction…a change of mind that results in right deed…righteousness. Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32. How many of us do not even read His word…to know what He has said on the matter…to have thus it is written for the actions of ourselves?


Are you sanctified through baptism…have you been baptized into Christ’s death burial and resurrection…yes or no? Baptism puts you into Christ…a repentant life keeps you in Christ…are you remaining faithful to your commitments to Jesus…and the Father…yes or no?


…I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day...2 Timothy 1:12.


Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest need for repentance and faith in Your only Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Fallen men and angels repent and forsake satan and any evil deeds…

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat...2 Peter 3:9-12?

 

We which have forsook evil and been washed have this promise…

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: 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. And beside this, giving all diligence (effort) add to your faith virtue (moral excellence); and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance (self-control); and to temperance patience (endurance); and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity (love). 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...2 Peter 1:3-8.

 

We all (angels and men a like) have a promise we can repent before the world is burned up in judgement by God Almighty…even satan could repent if he so chooses…any soul can repent and forsake their evil. Jesus Christ died and was raised from the dead so any soul could choose to do right not wrong…there is a way and His name is Jesus. Jesus will help us grow in faith and virtue and many other areas in our lives but we have to trust in Him and obey His teachings.

 

Jesus said…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...Mark 16:15-16. Have you been washed by the cleansing flood…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please help us grow in grace and peace with You and Your Son Jesus Christ…and meet our soul’s deepest needs so we can have increased faith in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
