Religion- How It Doesn't Save

Colossians 3:11
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

Religion is completely man made. People focus on following their religion- Instead of following God's ways.

 

 

1 John 2:1-29

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: ...

Religion doesn't show your love for the Lord. It doesn't save you, or guarantee anything. It's a way to censor the Lord. It's a way to hide the truth... Jesus. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. If you already know that- Why are you Christian? Catholic? Jewish? Atheist?

Jesus is the only way. NOT religion.

1 Peter 2:24-
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

It's not a religion- It's a relationship with Jesus Christ, and him only...

The True Love Of Our Lord

1 Peter 2:24-

"and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed."

I guarantee you- After today you will live by Christ. All I'm asking you to do today is watch this video with the sound on. It changed my life with Jesus Christ forever. And remember- He did this for you...

Passion of The Christ scenes- Not for the young- But worth watching...

Devotions-

Let him in. Let him in your heart after all he's done for you...

Verse- John 3:16

You're Saved

Romans 6:23-
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

With every thorn. With every nail. With every lash- Jesus saw your face. And he knew you would be special. He knew you would do better things than he would. Before he even met you- He knew you. And he saved you.

Jesus went up on that cross and died for you. He saved you from your own sins that you commit everyday. Sins that you may not even realize you're doing. Jesus wants you in Heaven. Jesus wants to be with you, and in your heart at all times. Jesus is the only protection from sin.


So how do you live without him?!
How do you go everyday sinning, and never having Jesus?!


The Lord Jesus said:
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And there you have it. Jesus saved not only you. Not only your family- He saved the world. He saved the world from a burning hell, so we could all have a chance in Heaven.

How do we get Jesus in our hearts, and accept him as our personal Lord and Savior?
Now it's time to save yourself. You already have a chance at Heaven- Don't let it go.
If you need to be born again, Please let me know and I'd be willing to help.

But remember this-
Jesus said "So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven..."

And only then will he be in your heart...

Devotions-

Save yourself. Join a bible study. Love God. Study his word. his life. his love...

Standing Your Ground

Matthew 10:26-
Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
 
Standing your ground is tough. The devil can be intimidating. He can force sin on you. He can change your mind, and lead you away from God...

And the only way out is to stand your ground. To tell the devil, to tell the sinners- This is me. And I will control me. I choose God.



I feel this song will inspire you on your journey-

Some of you may not know we are warriors... Revolutionaries. We fight the everlasting fight for Christ. We go into battle everyday trying to fight off sin. Sin claims a new victim everyday- and to prevent that being us, we need to stand our ground. Tell sin no... Tell the devil no.



There's only one way to Heaven. Only one way out of Hell. Only one way to be saved. Jesus Christ. So how do you think he feels seeing us sin? He doesn't want us to go to Hell. He wants us to be with him. And that's why I'll tell you today- Be a Warrior For Christ. Forget sin. Forget the devil. Live for Christ- And never look back...


Because we're all warriors...

And that sword will be pounded into Hell with every "No" you tell the devil. That sword will bring you closer, and closer to God. Never let go of that sword.



Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.



Devotions-
Take up your sword. Tell sin no, and fight for the Lord.

Beast

Revelations 12:9

The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

 

Satan. He's the Beast. He's the one who can internally destroy you. God is the one who picks up the pieces...

 

 

 

 

Not to mention the demons... He uses every ounce of power he has to turn you against God. He has turned angels. He has turned people. He has turned himself. What he doesn't realize is- It's never too late to love God. It's never too late to turn against the one who destroyed you, and turn to the one who created you... Who fixed you.

 

 

 

 

John 8:44

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

 

It's never too late to be saved...

It's a fact-
Abaddon created hell. He created demons, who were once angels. He created sin. However- He couldn't change your heart. He could change your mind. He can make your mind want sin. But he can't make your heart want sin. God won't let him. All he has is the hope of you sticking to your mind. He can only hope that you want sin forever. That you crave it as he does. But none of it is permanent. He doesn't love you. He's only tricking you.


It's a fact-
God created Heaven. He created Angels. He created you. And- He stays in your heart. He stays in your mind. God is the way, truth, and light of this world. God is the ONLY way to Heaven, no exceptions. God won't make you crave. He won't tempt you. God is fair, and kind to the deserving. God loves you.



-Ephesians 6:11-18

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

 

 

Satan is destruction. No questions asked...

Modesty- Something The World Has Lost

1 Timothy 2:9-10
Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.


Modesty- Something the world has lost. When did we lose our self respect? Our love for the Lord?


Warning! The following bible verse may be inappropriate for some ages!


Proverbs 7:10
And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.


The reason I put that verse in here, is to explain what our world has come to. The verse sadly applies to teenagers, many adults, and quite a few children. But why?! They've forgotten of the Lord. They've forgotten how to live by the laws of the bible, and think they exist purely to fit in.


It breaks my heart to see the children on the Lord committing adultery. The reason for most to commit adultery is fitting in. I see so many people feeling like outcasts, and resorting to adultery. So it's best to tell you now- It solves nothing. Adultery usually leads to teen pregnancy, and depression.



1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.


Because being modest, doesn't mean being hated. It doesn't mean being made fun of. It means being accepted in the world of God, and following the rules of your father.

And if loving the Lord makes me an outcast- I am. If obeying the Lord gets me abused- So be it. For the love of the Lord is greater than any sin can bring me.



Devotions-
Be modest. Forget what the world- What the people are pushing on you, and focus on obeying the laws of Heaven.



Verse- James 1:15

Friends

Proverbs 20:6
Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?


Anyone can be "Friends". We usually think friends are the ones we hang out with at school. The ones we've always known. The ones who are "There for us". But what really is a friend?

Friends are the ones who support us on our journey to God. Friends are the ones who never forget you. Leave you behind. Or send you straight to the devil. Friends are the ones who never leave your side no matter what.


Proverbs 13:20
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.


It is said- And is true, that God is the greatest friend. Even when you sin, He loves you. Even when you disobey him, He loves you. And he'll never leave your side- Even through the tough stuff.


You know, some friends push you away from God. You can be in God's arms one moments, making fun of kids the next. Doing drugs, drinking, smoking... Those are ALL things friends can get you to do. The devil over takes them, and uses them to manipulate you. That's why God is the greatest friend. He will never let you go. Never push you to the devil. Never abuse you. Never hate you.


If a friend makes you feel embarrassed about loving God- They are not a friend worth having. A friend worth having, pushes you to the father. And never lets you look back...

Devotions-
Push away the bad friends. Don't disobey God, and stick to a friend that will never benefit -but ruin- your relationship with the father.


Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
