Revelation 21.7-8 describes, those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I
will be their God and they will be My children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. (more…)
John 16.8-9 describes, when He comes, He will prove the world to be in the
wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in Me.
Most people do not believe they are sinners, people marked by doing bad rather than by doing good. Even with all that is going on today, some say the rioters are not sinners, just expressing righteous indignation, others say the police are not sinners, they are just forcibly dealing with bad people. No one believes they are a sinner. (more…)
John 11.25-26 records, Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The
one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die. Do you believe this?
One of the questions Christians have is when will we see Jesus? Is it upon our death immediately from this body or is it at a later date when He raises this body from the dead? Do we leave this body and join Jesus in some other state of being when we die or do we sleep until He returns to earth and raises us with this body to newness of life? (more…)
1 Peter 1.5-6 describes, (we) through faith are shielded by God’s power until the
coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” (more…)
Hebrews 10.14,36 share, by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those
who are being made holy…..You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
The declaration of God over the people of God is that they are perfect. Declared perfect because of the perfect life lived by God in Jesus now appropriated to us who are imperfect and in no way able to live perfect lives. The perfect life required by God has been ‘lived’ by those of us who believe in God through Jesus the Savior Who lived a perfect life but died in judgement from God for our imperfect lives. (more…)
Galatians 5.7 observes, you were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep
you from obeying the truth?
The Christian life is a journey to a destination where the journey continues forever and ever. Like living with a family, it is daily, forever we hope, changing yet always the same. It is good but sometimes it is hard. It brings us our greatest joy but also can bring us our greatest sorrow.
2 Corinthians 5.10-11 reminds us, we must all appear before the judgment seat
of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. (more…)
Revelation 2.26 promises, the one who conquers and who keeps My works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations.
The Lord Jesus promises His reward of eternal life with Him on the new earth to those who conquer and remain faithful to do His will to the end of their days. This challenge, requirement, promise is different from what most Christians believe and speak – that we must merely pray to Jesus for our salvation and so it will be. (more…)
