Sermon of just scripture from the New Testament of Christ...the new agreement between God and creation...by: Benjamin Brian Stewart Divine Patience, Godly Sorrow, and the Path to Repentance …The Lord is not delaying the promise of His coming, as some in their own minds reckon delay; rather, He is longsuffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance… …And so I rejoice—not because you were caused to sorrow, but because you sorrowed unto repentance; for you sorrowed in a godly manner, so that you were not injured by us in any way. For sorrow unto repentance before God works out salvation not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world works out death… …Therefore, let the one who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall. No temptation has come upon you except what is common to mankind. For God, Who is faithful, will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear; but with the temptation, He will make a way of escape, so that you may be able to bear it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. (2Pe 3:9 2Co 7:9-10 1Co 10:12-14)   Distinguishing True Faith from Worldly Deception …What then am I saying? That an idol is anything, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is anything? But that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Now do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? …By this test you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. And this is the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was to come, and even now it is already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He Who is in you than the one who is in the world. They are of the world; because of this, they speak of the world, and the world listens to them… …Do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him Because everything that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pretentious pride of physical life—is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world and its lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of God abides forever…(1Co 10:19-22 1Jn 4:2-5 1Jn 2:15-17)   The Divine Promise and the Inevitability of Judgment …And He Who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Then He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts, I will give freely of the fountain of the water of life. The one who overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death… …How much worse punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, as an unholy thing, and has scorned the Spirit of grace? For we know Him Who has said, " 'Vengeance belongs to Me. I will recompense!' says the Lord." And again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God… For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that each one may receive according to the things done in his body—what he has practiced, whether good or evil…(Rev 21:5-8 Heb 10:29-31 2Co 5:10)   Living and Dying Unto the Lord: Accountability and Confession Before God …For no one among us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we should live unto the Lord; and if we die, we should die unto the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. It is for this very purpose that Christ both died and rose and is living again, so that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living. Now then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ Because it is written, " 'For as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.' " So then, each one of us shall give account of himself to God… …That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father… …Jesus Christ said…Now then, whoever shall confess Me before men, that one will I also confess before My Father Who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, that one will I also deny before My Father, Who is in heaven. (Rom 14:7-12 Php 2:10-11 Mat 10:32-33)   The Transformative Power of Baptism and Faith in Christ …Or are you ignorant that we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through the baptism into the death ; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, in the same way, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been conjoined together in the likeness of His death, so also shall we be in the likeness of His resurrection… …Having been buried with Him in baptism, by which you have also been raised with Him through the inner working of God, Who raised Him from the dead. For you, who were once dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has now made alive with Him, having forgiven all your trespasses… …That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation Because the scripture says, "Everyone who believes in Him shall not be ashamed." For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord of all is rich toward all who call upon Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 6:3-5 Col 2:12-13 Rom 10:9-13)   The Great Commission and Ascension of Jesus Jesus said… And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but the one who does not believe shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow those who believe: in My name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new languages; They shall remove serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them in any way; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." …After speaking to them, the Lord was indeed then taken up into heaven, and He sat down at the right hand of God. (Mar 16:15-19) Prayer Father…please remove all knowledge of evil and reveal the truth we need to correct our behavior so we may stand in the Day of Judgement and not be cast into hell…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

Divine Call for Justice, Integrity, and Wisdom Thus says the LORD, "Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the oppressor's hand. And do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place… These six things the LORD hates; yea, seven are an abomination unto Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that plots wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, and he who sows discord among brethren… Behold, I am sending you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. (Jer 22:3… Pro 6:16-19… Mat 10:16) Living Righteously in a Challenging World: A Call to Shine as Lights For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do according to His good pleasure. Do all things without complaints and disputes; So that you may be blameless and without offense, innocent children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world… For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil works. Do you desire not to be afraid of the authority? Then practice good, and you will have praise from it; For he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you are practicing evil, have fear! For he does not wear the sword in vain because he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to the one who is practicing evil… Do not render to anyone evil for evil, but be prepared to do what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, as much as is your part, be at peace with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; rather, leave this to God's wrath; for it is written, " 'Vengeance is Mine! I will recompense,' says the Lord." Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in doing this you will be heaping coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good… (Php 2:13-15… Rom 13:3-4… Rom 12:17-21) The Role of Peacemakers in Upholding Divine Principles Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Mat 5:9) Peace is something you do not say…words of Truth can create peace but must be said...in Truth and Love…violence creates more violence…but the only way to end violence when words will not be received for peace is to meet a violence with violence. Just treatment of the enemies of peace…Jesus said to bless your enemies not curse them…not to join the enemies of peace but to feed and water your enemies by doing so you will reap coals of fire on their head. The Best a soul can do is what is right by our Creator when he learns the Truth. A peacemaker desires…to harm no soul including their own…to keep the innocent innocent…the harmless harmless…and to shed no innocent blood. Peacemaking stops the evil doer and keeps the innocent harmless and the harmless innocent. Peacemakers must exercise self-control and not act not out of self-will but out of love knowing love does not work ill-will towards its neighbor or enemies but seeks peace and what is best for all innocent souls. Father please help us to be harmless and to shed no innocent blood but to always stand for justice and true righteousness by You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The just shall live by faith… …For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ because it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes— both to the Jew first, and to the Greek. For therein the righteousness of God is revealed from faith unto faith, according as it is written: The just shall live by faith.… …let God be true but every man a liar, exactly as it is written: That You might be justified in Your words, and might overcome when You are being judged by men.… …But now, the righteousness of God that is separate from law has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; Even the righteousness of God that is through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who believe; for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; But are being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…(Rom 1:16-17…Rom 3:4…Rom 3:21-24)   Having been justified by faith… …Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we ourselves boast in the hope of the glory of God… …But God commends His own love to us because, when we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more, therefore, having been justified now by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His own Son, much more then, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life… …What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, so that grace may abound? MAY IT NEVER BE! We who died to sin, how shall we live any longer therein? Or are you ignorant that we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through the baptism into the death ; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, in the same way, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been conjoined together in the likeness of His death, so also shall we be in the likeness of His resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man was co-crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, so that we might no longer be enslaved to sin; Because the one who has died to sin has been justified from sin…(Rom 5:1-2…Rom 5:8-10…Rom 6:1-7)   There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus… …But now that you have been delivered from sin and have become servants of God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord… …Consequently, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has delivered me from the law of sin and death. For what was impossible for the law to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; In order that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit… …But thanks be to God, Who always leads us triumphant in Christ, and manifests the fragrance of His knowledge through us in every place…(Rom 6:22-23…Rom 8:1-4…2Co 2:14)   Through the victory in our Lord Jesus Christ… …O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ… …I can do all things through Christ, Who empowers me… …But my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory into the ages of eternity. Amen. (1Co 15:55-57…Php 4:13…Php 4:19-20)   Let us be the faithful ones who have come out of the great tribulation… …And one of the elders answered and said to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, and where did they come from? Then I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, They are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; and they have washed their robes, and have made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev 7:13-14)   Jesus will forgive you and then reveal the truth to you…so you can learn how to change and be right with our Creator and fellow man. Do you want Jesus to reveal the truth to you so you can be right with God…Yes or no? Do you believe Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from the dead…Yes or no? Have you been baptized to obey Jesus…Yes or no? Will you be baptized to obey Jesus words who said… The one who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but the one who does not believe shall be condemned…Yes or no? Mar 16:16   Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our soul’s deepest wounds so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…and please grant us mercy so we can live with You eternally…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 Notes...The love we have is God’s gift to us…what we do with it is our gift to God…is a quote from a church sign.

I follow Jesus the Carpenter…Who is raised from the dead…and building me a mansion in Heaven.   Jesus can create you whatever you need… Nevertheless, so that we may not offend them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a coin. Take that, and give it to them for Me and you…(Mat 17:27).   Jesus gives living bread and water…may He feed and water us until we are just like Him… Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me shall never hunger; and the one who believes in Me shall never thirst at any time…But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; rather, the water that I will give him shall become a fountain of water within him, springing up into everlasting life…Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me…(Joh 6:35 Joh 14:6 Joh 4:14).   Why worry…do what is right and you will have enough… Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we be clothed?' For the nations seek after all these things. And your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But as for you, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall take care of the things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of that day…Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled…But my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus…(Mat 6:31-34 Mat 5:6 Php 4:19).   Want to know how to feed and raise your family right by God…ask Jesus He will reveal the truth you need to do what is right.   Father please feed us with Jesus the living bread and the living water until we are just like Him…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sin-scars…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

A Dusty Bible leads to a Dirty Life…The Pathway To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions.   …Now the purpose of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and genuine faith; From which some, having missed the mark, have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they are saying, nor what they are strongly affirming. Now we know that the law is good, if anyone uses it lawfully, Understanding this: that law is not enacted for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for slayers of fathers and slayers of mothers, for murderers, For fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing that is opposed to sound doctrine; According to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted…(1Ti 1:5-11) …Anyone who transgresses and does not continue in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. But the one who continues in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son…(2Jn 1:9) …And one of the scribes who had come up to Him, after hearing them reasoning together and perceiving that He answered them well, asked Him, Which is the first commandment of all?... …Then Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel. Our one God is the Lord, the Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.(Mar 12:28-31)   Father please meet our soul's deepest needs for salvation In Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.   Please visit and comment on Ben the Friend’s Christian Blog…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend   ...#benjaminbrianstewart...#Love...#Christianity...#Faith...#Bible...#Jesus...#Prayer...#Art...#ChristianLife...#Gospel...#ChristianInspiration...#Salvation...#ChristianCommunity...#love...#instagood...#photoftheday...#beautiful...#happy...#new...#sports...#entertainment...#technology...#business...#fashion...#health...#travel...#food...#music...#art...#photography

Blessed are those who do God’s will not those who know His will… Jesus said…Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but the one who is doing the will of My Father, Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy through Your name? And did we not cast out demons through Your name? And did we not perform many works of power through Your name? And then I will confess to them, I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work lawlessness… …But while He (Jesus) was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, mother and His brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You. But He (Jesus) answered and said to him, Who is My mother? And who are My brothers? And stretching out His hand to His disciples, He said, Behold, My mother and My brothers. For whoever shall do the will of My Father, Who is in heaven, that one is My brother and sister and mother… …In the same way also, faith, if it does not have works, is dead, by itself. But someone is going to say, You have faith, and I have works. My answer is: You prove your faith to me through your works, and I will prove my faith to you through my works. Do you believe that God is one? You do well to believe this . Even the demons believe—and tremble in fear. But are you willing to understand, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? (Mat 7:21-23  Mat 12:46-50  Jas 2:17-20)     We must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Jesus Christ… …Now when the Son of man (Jesus) shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory; And He shall gather before Him all the nations; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He shall set the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at His left… …Then shall the King say to those at His right hand, Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You a drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? And answering, the King shall say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these My brethren, you have done it to Me… …Now then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ Because it is written,  For as I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  So then, each one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Rom 14:10-12  Mat 25:31-40)     Always be a blessing not a curse… A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another in the same way that I have loved you, that is how you are to love one another. By this shall everyone know that you are My disciples—if you love one another… …You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you, So that you yourselves may be the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust… …Do not render to anyone evil for evil, but be prepared to do what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, as much as is your part, be at peace with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; rather, leave this to Gods wrath; for it is written,  Vengeance is Mine! I will recompense, says the Lord. Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in doing this you will be heaping coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good… (Joh 13:34-35 Mat 5:43-45 Rom 12:17-21)     Do not fall to temptation but abide in the will of God… …Therefore, let the one who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall. No temptation has come upon you except what is common to mankind. For God, Who is faithful, will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear; but with the temptation, He will make a way of escape, so that you may be able to bear it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry… …Blessed is the man who endures trials because, after he has been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Do not let anyone who is tempted say, I am being tempted by God because God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself tempts no one with evil. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away and is enticed by his own lust. And after lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is completely finished, brings forth death… …Therefore, what fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end result of those things is death. But now that you have been delivered from sin and have become servants of God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (1Co 10:12-14 Jas 1:12-15 Rom 6:21-23)   Prayer Father forgive us for making our will Your will help us to be obedient to Your Only Son Jesus Christ…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.     Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

Who is the Greatest in the Kingdom of God… …At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And after calling a little child to Him, Jesus set him in their midst, And said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, there is no way that you shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name receives Me. But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to offend, it would be better for him that a millstone be hung around his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea…For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him…But what God had before announced by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He has accordingly fulfilled. Therefore, repent and be converted in order that your sins may be blotted out, so that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send Him Who was before proclaimed to you, Jesus Christ…(Mat 18:1-6 Joh 3:16-17 Act 3:18-20) …For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior, Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—the Man Christ Jesus… Although He was a Son, yet He learned obedience from the things that He suffered; And having been perfected, He became the Author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him…For because He Himself has suffered, having been tempted in like manner, He is able to help those who are being tempted… Having therefore a great High Priest, Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold fast the confession of our faith. For we do not have a high priest who cannot empathize with our weaknesses, but One Who was tempted in all things according to the likeness of our own temptations; yet He was without sin. Therefore, we should come with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need… (1Ti 2:3-5 Heb 5:8-9 Heb 2:18 Heb 4:14-16) Follow the Law of Moses or Jesus Christ’s new agreement called the New Testament of Christ… …For the law was given through Moses, and the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ… Why then the law? It was placed alongside the promises for the purpose of defining transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made, having been ordained through angels in the hand of a mediator… In this way, the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. But since faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ…(Joh 1:17 Gal 3:19 Gal 3:24-27) …Or are you ignorant that we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through the baptism into the death ; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, in the same way, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been conjoined together in the likeness of His death, so also shall we be in the likeness of His resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man was co-crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, so that we might no longer be enslaved to sin…For I say through the grace that was given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think with sound-mindedness, as God has divided to each one a measure of faith…Now without faith it is impossible to please God. For it is mandatory for the one who comes to God to believe that He exists, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him…(Rom 6:3-6 Rom 12:3 Heb 11:6) …In the same way also, faith, if it does not have works, is dead, by itself… That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation Because the scripture says…Everyone who believes in Him shall not be ashamed….So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God…But if Christ is being preached, that He rose from the dead, how is it that some among you are saying that there is no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection from the dead, neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain…(Jas 2:17 Rom 10:9-11, 17 1Co 15:12-14) Jesus is reigning on the right hand of God until the end comes and after His enemies are made His footstool… But on the other hand, of the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, is into the ages of eternity; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this, God, even Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions." And, "You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain forever; and they will all grow old like a garment, And You will roll them up like a covering, and they shall be changed; but You are the same, and Your years will not end." But unto which of the angels did He ever say, "Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet"?…Afterwards the end comes, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to Him Who is God and Father, when He shall have put an end to all rule and all authority and power. For it is ordained that He reign until He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death…And to you, who are persecuted, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His mighty angels, Dealing out vengeance with flaming fire upon those who do not know God, and those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; Who will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength…(Heb 1:8-13 1Co 15:24-26 2Th 1:7-9) …Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice from heaven say, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men; and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people; and God Himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall not be any more death, or sorrow, or crying; neither shall there be any more pain, because the former things have passed away."… …And He Who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Then He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts, I will give freely of the fountain of the water of life. The one who overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son… …But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."…And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things that must shortly come to pass. Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."… And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who thirsts come; and let the one who desires partake of the water of life freely. For I jointly testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, that if anyone adds to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book. He Who testifies these things says, "Surely, I am coming quickly." Amen . Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Rev 21:1-8 Rev 22:6-7 Rev 22:17-21) Prayer Father help us be converted to Your only Fathered Son Jesus and keep the words found in the book of Revelation...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

The book of Mormon is of the devil…a perversion of the truth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...   Joeseph Smith lived in the past when the only Authority or source of Scripture was a King James Bible…or the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament of Christ. Joeseph Smith was supposed to be obedient to the message found in the New Testament of Christ because it is Scripture…Holy Scripture he was bound to keep but did not obey the following scripture…   Listen to what is written… I am astonished that you are so quickly being turned away from Him Who called you into the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, Which in reality is not another gospel; but there are some who are troubling you and are desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. But if we, or even an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel to you that is contrary to what we have preached, LET HIM BE ACCURSED! As we have said before, I also now say again. If anyone is preaching a gospel contrary to what you have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED! Now then, am I striving to please men, or God? Or am I motivated to please men? For if I am yet pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ. Gal 1:6-10   This was the instruction for Joeseph Smith to obey in his day before he was tempted and fell…instead he had a “angel” reveal so called new revelation…a new gospel…on plates of gold. The angel was no messenger of God because no angel ever used a prop of gold…they spoke the message…not revealed it on golden plates. Joeseph smith then being disobedient to the Holy Bible wrote and repeated the perversion as the truth and supplementing it with the real truth of the Holy Bible…becoming the book of Mormon.   Is this the name of the fallen angel which tempted Joeseph Smith…Mormon? Who like satan tempted the truth of God but was not subtle tempting Joseph Smith with a direct contradiction of scripture…satan being subtle added one word…not…a barely noticeable lie…where as this angel was a bold direct contradiction of the truth.   Jesus Christ said…For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. The one who believes in Him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God… …And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who practices evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed; But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be manifested (made known), that they have been accomplished by the power of God…Joh 3:16-21   Jesus said…If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers and sisters, and, in addition, his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple…(Luk 14:26-27) Do you renounce all forms of creation and surrender all the Jesus the Christ of Nazareth (Acts 22:8)…the Only Human Son our Creator ever Fathered Who died on the cross and was raised from the dead…yes or no?   It is written… And Jesus said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but the one who does not believe shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow those who believe: in My name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new languages; They shall remove serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them in any way; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." …After speaking to them, the Lord was indeed then taken up into heaven, and He sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word by the signs that followed. Amen. (Mar 16:15-20)   Prayer Father please confirm this truth to us by cleaning us from all evil in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

Worry is interest paid on doubt and trouble before it is due. …No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious about your life as to what you shall eat and what you shall drink; nor about your body as to what you shall wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Observe the birds of heaven: they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor do they gather into granaries; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? …But who among you, by taking careful thought, is able to add one cubit (add length to his life) to his stature? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not labor, nor do they spin; But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so arrays the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much rather clothe you, O you of little faith? …Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we be clothed?' For the nations seek after all these things. And your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. …But as for you, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall take care of the things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of that day… (Mat 6:24-34) …Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled…Do not be anxious about anything; but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God in everything; And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus…And I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, it shall be opened. But which of you who is a father, if a son shall ask for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he shall ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion? Therefore if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father Who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him? (Mat 5:6 Php 4:6-7 Luk 11:9-13) When you worry…you think about the tomorrow today…then on the day of (tomorrow) you worry it will come out as planned hoping for the best and having planned for the worse…then after it is over you worry could I have done better…why not trust Jesus for the details…pray about it and leave it at the feet of Jesus?   Why do you entertain the doubt…when you can know the truth you hunger and thirst for… …Therefore, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free…All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work…the same manner, you younger men be subject to the older men; and all of you be subject to one another, being clothed with humility because …God sets Himself against the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God so that He may exalt you in due time…Casting all your cares upon Him…because He cares for you… …Be sober! Be vigilant! For your adversary the devil is prowling about as a roaring lion, seeking anyone he may devour. Whom resist, steadfast in the faith (not entertaining his offer or lies), knowing that the same afflictions are being fulfilled among your brethren who are in the world. Now may the God of all grace, Who has called us unto His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, Himself perfect you, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the power into the ages of eternity…Amen. (Joh 8:31-32 2Ti 3:16-17 1Pe 5:5-11) We must be trusting in the Truth of His word as a child does his dad…daddy Jesus may I…daddy Jesus will you…daddy Jesus I forgave them but they hurt me…this is how we develop faith and a godly character fit for Heaven our home.   Faith makes it possible not easy… … Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen… So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God…Now without faith it is impossible to please God. For it is mandatory for the one who comes to God to believe that He exists, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Heb 11:1 Rom 10:17 Heb 11:6) Is not faith in Jesus similar to…believing Australia is a real island…having never been there but believe the truth I have heard and read about Australia?   We need to develop fruit for God not become fruit inspectors of others… …Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it; For narrow the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it. But beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, for within they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. They do not gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles, do they? …In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. Every tree that is not producing good fruit is cut down and is cast into the fire. Therefore, you shall assuredly know them by their fruits… But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law…According as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by His own glory and virtue; Through which He has given to us the greatest and most precious promises, that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust… …And for this very reason also, having applied all diligence besides…add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; And to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, endurance; and to endurance, godliness; And to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, the love of God. For if these things exist and abound in you, they will cause you to be neither lacking effort nor lacking fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Mat 7:13-20 Gal 5:22-23 2Pe 1:3-8) Jesus is like the tree in this joke…what did the tree say to the squirrel…I am rooting for you. Jesus will help you become a fruitful tree but you have to follow the truth and do right by God and fellow man.   Prayer Father we renounce satan and his forbidden fruit found in his kingdom…please fill our hunger and thirst for being right before You producing fruits for Your Only Son Jesus…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen (Acts 22:8)   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

You just need Jesus’ presence to get an answer… And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him… …The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth…. …And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour… Mat 8:5-13     What is distance to faith… Stretch your faith…would you get a yes to a prayer if you could physically approach Jesus when He was here on earth…yes or no? Then how hard is it to approach Jesus from heaven with the same requests?     Jesus wants you to pray… …And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him…. 1Jn 5:14-15   …Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour… 1Pe 5:6-8   …Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry… 1Co 10:12-14   Jesus said…Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye 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. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him? …Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it… Mat 7:7-14     Make a lifestyle out of lifting a prayer to Jesus ears…and meditating on His word… …Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things… Php 4:6-8     Like King David said about the way of righteousness… Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is  in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are  not so: but are  like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psa 1:1-6 KJV Do not take advice from non-Christians Do not stop a sinner from sinning Meditate on God's word or Laws     Prayer Father please help us in the way of righteousness and show us mercy by revealing the Truth we need to be reconciled with others and You…thank you for hearing us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus… https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend   #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

You know the best way to have the last word…offer an apology. …Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you. And above all these things put on (love) charity, which is the bond of perfectness (completeness)… Col 3:12-14 KJV Jesus taught… …And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses… Mat 6:12-15 KJV …Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy… Mat 5:7 KJV …But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposed in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work… 2Co 9:6-8 KJV …O you that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these His doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly…? Mic 2:7 KJV It never hurts you to forgive…however the sacrifice is worth the reward of reconciliation with a brother or sister…forgiveness heals you and them…and gives opportunity to God to glorify His name…He can create you whatever you need...He died to reconcile you to Himself… Mat 18:15-20…explained… …Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you hast gained your brother… 1. First step to reconciliation is to let the brother know he has offended you…how many people are walking around offended by an offender and the offender does not even know they have sinned or offended a Christian? …But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established… 2. The second step is carry two or three of his closest friends or family and try to get him to reconcile and repent…if his mom there then it be like…johnny stole five dollar…momma going to say Johnny give him his five dollars back…or his best friend be like it just five bucks…reconcile. …And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as an heathen (godless) man and a publican (Roman government official in Jesus day…a Jew who worked for the oppressive government)… 3. The third step is to carry it front of the church or congregation…we are trying to get Johnny to stop stealing…we have went to him one on one…we have went to him as family and friends…johnny will not follow Jesus…any ideas? …Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything (for forgiveness and reconcillation) that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them... 4. When an agreement for reconciliation has been made in this process either between two individuals…or the sinner and family and friends…or if reconciliation has been made in front of the congregation…then those terms are binding in heaven and earth because forgiveness and reconciliation are achieved by these terms to the individuals involved. (Mat 18:14-20) So can you look everybody in the eye and shake their hand…yes or no? You made everything right with your fellow man and God…yes or no? Jesus said… Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother hath ought against (has been offended or done wrong by you) 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 thine adversary quickly, whiles you art in the way with him; lest at any time 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 hast paid the uttermost farthing (penny). Mat 5:23-26 KJV Jesus said God will not even accept an offering from you unless you made your actions or deeds right with fellow man…God says He will not accept you unless you have made things right with those you done wrong…however in cases like murder…where it would take a miracle to undo the evil and make it right…one must pray for mercy because reparations are not possible (if it is impossible to repair the damage then pray for mercy).

How do you get robes for the marriage supper of the Lamb…listen to what is written…   I do…what is the most important word in the bible for a Christian…do. And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, which made a marriage for His son, And sent forth His servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, He sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took His servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them…. …But when the King heard thereof, He was wroth: and He sent forth His armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith He to His servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage…. …So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the King came in to see the guests, He saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And He saith unto him, Friend, how came thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the King to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Mat 22:1-14 KJV     When the end of time comes…are you one that has said “I do” to the marriage feast of the Lamb…The robes or wedding garments needed to be prepared are spoken of…   And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb… Rev 7:13-14 …Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints… …And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Rev 19:7-9     Have you said “ I do only for You” to Jesus…yes or no?   Jesus said…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. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple…. …For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish… …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?
