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.   #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathers not with Me scatters…Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned…Every one therefore who shall confess Me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven…Mat 12:33-37 Mat 12:30 Mat 10:32-33   Father please forgive us of our idle words and cleanse us from all evil in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

Is Jesus your source of light or truth…or is your mom or preacher? …The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is the darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon…If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple…Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knows not whither he goes. While you have the light, believe on the light, that you may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and He departed and hid Himself from them. (Luk 14:26-27 Mat 6:22-24 Joh 12:35-36) Will you renounce satan and all forms of evil and begin to learn the truth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth…yes or no? Father we renounce anything un-Holy and not from Jesus please fill us full of You and Your Son Jesus that we may walk in Spirit and Truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen. #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

Do you have a plan and purpose in Jesus Christ? Have you ever made a commitment to Jesus before? I have and I am glad I did, becoming a Christian is the best thing I ever done. Being a Christian makes me have a purpose to become like my Creator, the Father of all things. Did you know Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing and will show you how to do right by God and your fellow man? It is written, Mat 5:6, blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled. Do you want to be right with God? and your neighbors? and your family? and everyone else? Yes or No?   Will you work a plan of reconciliation with God and your fellow man? Will you work a plan of redemption and salvation for yourself and others? Having this hunger and thirst for being right with God will give you a plan and purpose and when your done you could shake everyone's hand and look them in the eye. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life, in John 14:6. Jesus said in John 8:31-32, if you continue in my word then you are my disciples indeed and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Jesus said, if you love Me then keep my commandments John 14:15. The inspired record as it is written, 2Jn 1:9 KJV Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.   Heb 5:8-9 KJV Though he were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; (9) And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him;   Are you fulfilling a plan and a purpose? Jesus of Nazareth can give you a righteous plan and purpose. Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing and Jesus died and was raised on the third day, so all your wrongs can be forgiven. Jesus died so you would never have to do a wrong thing again. Do you hunger and thirst after being righteous? Then call on Him…? Act 22:7-8 KJV And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you Me? (8) And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And He said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.     Father, please help us to be wise unto salvation for ourselves and others, please meet our souls' deepest needs, and forgive us our sins, we forgive those who done us wrong and ask you would heal our souls' deepest wounds and cover us in grace, mercy, peace, joy, and love in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.   #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

Are you justified before God…yes or no? You know just-as-if-I’d had never sinned…   Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love: having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved… And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; 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. 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… Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God… (Rom 8:26-30 Eph 1:3-6 1Co 6:9-11)   Are you justified before God…yes or no? You know just-as-if-I’d had never sinned…   Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and forgive our worse of sins showing us mercy by revealing the truth so we can right by You and Your Only Son…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

Some people want to be treated like Jesus when they a Judas… They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (disobedient and without faith)...Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate…in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory…(Tit 1:16 2Co 13:5 Eph 1:13-14) When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me…(Joh 13:21) Father my we never betray You or Your Only Son and please meet our soul’s deepest needs for faithfulness…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen. #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

Heaven is place and you will not get there as a reward unless you decide to go. Do you want to go to Heaven and live in peace with God? Yes or no.   Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from the dead so all souls could be a peace with God…He already obtained a new agreement between God and creation which works salvation to all those who obey Jesus…You have to only want to right not wrong all your days…Jesus will reveal the truth to you so you can do what is morally right by God and creation…sound like good news…   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…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…though He 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 (1Ti 2:5-6 Php 2:6-8 Heb 5:8-9)   Jesus is like the best daddy you could imagine…He will adopt you and teach you the truth…He protects His children and says it is better to be dead than to cause a Christian to do wrong… Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst… 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 seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek you 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… Except ye turn (forsake evil), and become as little children (teachable), you shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives Me: but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on Me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. (Joh 6:35 Mat 6:30-34 Mat 18:3-6)   Prayer for adoption… Father please we are children in diapers trying to learn the truth and do right by You…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our soul wounds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   #BenjaminBrianStewart #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography #AnOpenBibleStudy

You ever cry or feel remorse because of your wrong deeds…feel shame…blush…because you were not in the right…morally? Blessed are those who mourn (feel sorrow)…for they will be comforted… The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You wilt not despise…For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death…For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. A man that hath set at nought Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: of how much sorer (worse) punishment, think you, shall he be judged worthy, who has trodden underfoot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that said, Vengeance belongs unto Me, I will recompense (repay). And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Psa 51:17 2Co 7:10 Heb 10:26-31)   Reconcile with your fellow man…and your Creator…Jesus said unless you are right with your brethren…then don’t come worship Me… If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has aught (grievance) against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary (enemy) quickly, while you are with him in the way (delivered into his hands); unless haply (by chance) the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. Verily I say unto you, you will by no means come out thence, until you have paid the last farthing. (Mat 5:23-26)   …Jesus said, Verily (truly) I say unto you, Except you turn (forsake evil), and become as little children (willing to learn the truth from daddy Jesus), you shall in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven…(Mat 18:3)   Prayer for new heart and reconciliation… Father…please reveal the truth we need for our souls…we are just children in diapers trying to learn to feed and clothe ourselves…please reveal the truth so we can live right by You being supplied by Your Only Son Jesus…and meet our soul’s deepest needs…writing Your laws on our hearts and minds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   #BenjaminBrianStewart #AnOpenBibleStudy #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

God’s word is never returned void it always produces a result…we can even learn what not to do as well as right doing from the examples of recorded inspiration… Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work…2Ti 3:16-17 ASV   Even with the end of days in the hour of temptation…We are without excuse…if we have fallen then we have erred and reached for the forbidden…or we can remain faithful by choosing the way out of temptation…saying no in Jesus of Nazareth’s name. 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 it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry…1Co 10:13-14 ASV   God does not want to lose His children but has provided everything needed to remain faithful…if a soul falls to it’s own lust then we must let go of our original sin…that which was forbidden… Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no man: but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it hath conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death…Jas 1:13-15 ASV   Jesus has provided all the truth and supply you need to change and be right with God…all you need to do is trust God for it… To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled…(such liars that assume all talk is lies and therefore cannot hear the truth mistaking it for a lie) They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (unfaithful)…Tit 1:15-16 ASV   Make Jesus your ride or die…the overcomers are not fearful cowards but have faced a trial of death and overcame…I woke up prepared to die for Jesus like an Apostle…a martyr…not much has changed since I made Jesus Christ of Nazareth my choice. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony (they told the truth); and they loved not their life even unto death…Rev 12:11 ASV   Sometimes we have became slaves of our past decision…and a desire and prayer for righteousness or mercy helps more than words of instruction or encouragement… Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man avails much in its working…Jas 5:16 ASV   Sometimes God is like show me you changed…then I will answer your prayers… Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance…(use deeds not words to show you mean what you prayed), and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father (ancestry…our religion) for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children (faithful obedient children) unto Abraham…Luk 3:8 ASV   Those saved who enter Heaven are saints who have a history of sin…who have choose Jesus over all others… If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us…1Jn 1:8-10 ASV   Prayer for deliverance and reconciliation… Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and we renounce anything unholy and strange fire to You and Your only Fathered Son please help us to love what You love and hate what You hate in Jesus of Nazareth’s name.   Will you Try? https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

Jesus the Christ of Nazareth is the God of gods…Lord of Lords…and the King of Kings… Jesus was born of a virgin…whom was prophesied about from the Jewish people…who are the descendants of Abraham…Isaac…and Jacob. Mary being the virgin who brought forth a manchild and Jesus being born into the tribe of Judah as a Jew had only to keep the minimum requirements of the Ten Commandments to be considered sinless and Holy. Jesus being born of a virgin having our Creator being His Father…was and is the Only Human Son God ever Fathered and being born of a virgin no man can say they are greater than Jesus the Christ from the town of Nazareth.   Jesus then being born into the tribe of Judah obey the Jewish law and remained sinless from birth…Jesus never broke one of the Ten Commandments. Jesus then being full of Grace and Truth…offered His life as a substitute for yours and my own punishment…So He forgive us and reveal the Truth to us and we can do right by God and fellow man. Do you believe a real human died and was raised from the dead name Jesus so He could forgive and reveal the truth to you…so you can never choose a wrong thing again…yes or no?   Jesus does not want to be in your heart He want to rule it… If any man comes unto Me (Jesus), and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden to become and stay a Christian), and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luk 14:26-27 ASV   Burden of your cross…reconciling your actions with fellow creation or mankind… If therefore you are offering your gift (sacrifice) at the altar, and there remember that your brother has aught (grievance) against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary (come to terms) quickly, while you are with him in the way (delivered into his hands); lest haply the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. Verily I say unto you, you shalt by no means come out thence, till you have paid the last farthing (requirement). Mat 5:23-26 ASV   Jesus will always provide and be your enough… Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believes on Me shall never thirst. Joh 6:35 ASV 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 you 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 seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek you 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. Mat 6:30-34 ASV   Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Mat 5:6 ASV   And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? Luk 11:9-13 ASV   When praying report for duty and do not give God instructions… Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mar 12:29-31 ASV     Prayer for reconciliation and revealing of the truth needed for righteousness… Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our soul’s deepest wounds so we may prosper and be in health as we learn the truth and practice what is right before You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Will you Try? https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

5 Reasons to follow Jesus… You will be forgiven if you forgive…you have to know Jesus to be forgiven…He is your path to peace and reconciliation with the Creator.   Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Mat 5:7) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Mat 6:14-15) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me. (Joh 14:6) Jesus will be your enough…He promises you will never hunger or thirst if you believe and obey Him…and you will have enough clothes even in the times of famine.   Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. (Joh 6:35) 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 seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye 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. (Mat 6:30-34) But godliness with contentment is great gain: for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 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. (1Ti 6:6-10) He will teach you the truth so you can do right by The Creator   Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (Joh 8:31-32) Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. (Joh 17:17) Jesus said…Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. (Mar 10:19) He will free you from evil influences or rest for your soul so you can practice the truth without fear   All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal Him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mat 11:27-30) And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God. (Joh 3:19-21) who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins: (Col 1:13-14)   He will give you the Holy Spirit to comfort your salvation and infirmities Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made Him (Jesus) both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye 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. (Act 2:36-39) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 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. (Joh 3:3-7) in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,--in whom, having also (obeyed) believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory. (Eph 1:13-14)   Prayer for forgiveness… Father please forgive those who have done us wrong and reveal the truth to us so we can do right by You and Your Only Son…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Will you Try? https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

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.   Will you Try? https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography
