Jesus is mighty to save. Every person who believes in Him are also His followers. Otherwise, they are counted with the wicked.
Psalm 34 :1-3 (KJV)
1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear...
Come and extol the Lord for His goodness. Rejoice in God, our Savior. Praises be unto Jesus, this day and forevermore.
Job 19:25-27 (KJV)
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
People can call us prideful or self-righteous, but God knows our hearts. It is God who makes us holy and righteous not people.
Job 34 :22-25 (KJV)
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should...
True believers in the faith do not attack others, but reason with them with love if answers are needed. And Jesus helps us do this.
Psalm 19:12-14 (KJV)
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins ; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Ask the Lord God to keep you upright in His sight. That no more will secret sins be a part of who you are in His kingdom.
Deuteronomy 5 :29 (KJV)
29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their...
Oh, that people would have a heart to fear God and keep His commandments in our time as in the past. This is God’s desire for us.
Deuteronomy 14:1,2 (KJV)
1 Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
We don’t cut ourselves like people of the world do. This is because we are now different than others, even God’s holy people.
Leviticus 19:28 (KJV)
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
Tattoos are evil since they cover God’s holy temple. This brings darkness into our lives and God’s light is now far from us.
Acts 8:36-40 (KJV)
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
God is able to transport us in the Holy Spirit. However, only those people who abide in the Lord Jesus can encounter God like this.
Numbers 11:25-29 (KJV)
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord’S people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!
Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
How can people see Christians and glorify God, if there are no good works in our lives? Therefore, faith without works is dead.
Leviticus 19:1,2 (KJV)
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.
Where is holiness in people’s lives? It seems like less people desire God to make them holy and pure in His sight. Instead, sin abounds and darkness remains.
Leviticus 19:28,29 (KJV)
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
God has spoken to us clearly to not print anything upon our bodies, for example, tattoos. Doing this makes us unholy in His sight.
Romans 5:19-21 (KJV)
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
God desires us to find true happiness in life, where righteousness abounds. Not the life of a sinner, who only dwells in darkness.
Leviticus 6:1-5 (KJV)
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
Everything in our possessions that we do not own, should be returned to their rightful owner. This is doing God’s will not mine.
Job 33:14-18 (KJV)
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
The Lord God is our rescuer. He is able to deliver sinners from the depths of hell and raise them up into eternal life in heaven.
