This Simplicity of the Gospel

 

 

Today I want to speak to you about the simplicity of the Gospel.
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that who soever believe in Him, will not parish but have everlasting life.
God moves and knock on the door of the person's heart when he or she hear these words.
If that is you, give God a change in your life.
Humble yourself and call on God, repent, and you will be saved.
If you have already gave your life to God, but some way the troubles of this life has let you astray.
You too can do this. Humble yourself and call on God, repent, and you will be restored.
We all make mistakes and no person is without sin. There is only one Hope, and that is to believe in Jesus.

 

Jesus to Be Crucified

 I do not think any man can picture the full impact what God gave us and what Jesus did on the cross. I read it about a hundred times, and it never crossed my mind as much until today, what an awesome gift.

I heard a lot of people preached about the Crucifixion and some even try to make us feel condemned or guilty about it, because it is about our sin that this happened. So, if someone try to make us feel condemned or guilty, then they are self-righteous. The Crucifixion was not because of our sin but for our sin to be forgiven. All have sinned.

Like in most of my messages, I want to encourage you to get to know God from start. Forget what people told you or try to teach you and meet with God with a new mind every day. The more I spend time with God, the more I notice the past misleading people that try to keep us from the Love of God.

Matthew 27: 27 - 56

How to get Saved?

Now, that is a question that started a lot of arguments. Actually because of these arguments, a lot of people are resenting the Gospel.

The Gospel is Free and Easy.

The only one with the right answer is God. What God has to say about this, can be found in the Bible. There is just one condition, and this is the only condition; you should get the oldest version Bible you can find, like for exp. the old King James Version. Do not worry, this is not the condition to get saved but to get the true answers. There are some scriptures changed and even removed from the bible in most other, especially the newer versions. I will one day write a post about the changes and the removed scriptures. I will past a link here so you can read about it.

So, to make a summery. To get saved: Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Jesus’s own Words on how to get saved)

That is all, just believe, and when you do believe. Get baptized.

 

There are certain things that will happen when you do believe. You can read Mark 16:15 – 18. But do not get discourage if this do not happen immediately, I have a testimony where it took me some time for these things to happen and God never forsaken me. Faith takes time especially if you do not make time for God. I will past a link here, in the future, so you can read my testimony.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 

The next part you should learn how to become a disciple of God. (Follower of God) I will past a link here, in the future, so you can read about it.

Yoke of bondage VS Unequally Yoked together with unbelievers

When we hear the Biblical term Yoke, then the first verse that comes to mind is:

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Now for years this was printed in my head by Churches but never have I heard any preach the Gospel of:

Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2  Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3  For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Then we might think but what is the importance of the yoke of bondage when unequally yoked together with unbelievers is a more important verse? It is not like we get circumcised any more?

There is this one problem I have encountered during the path as a believer, that is we make new laws in Church and make them mandatory. So when people don't believe or take our doctrine "yoke" on themselves, we make them out to be the "unbelievers". In fact, no Gospel has to be manipulated to believed or enforced. If the Holy Spirit didn't reveal it, then there is no truth to it "the new laws".

If we judge people on any level, whether dress code at church (I'm not saying allow revealing clothes, but talking about formal etc.); what they eat; what they drink; how they walk; talk or any. Then we are enforcing laws "yokes" "bondages".

Love don't judge and yes, God which is Love, will judge someday. But if we think about it, only we can enter into God's judgement. God is also Fair and what we have done to others without repentance will be held against us. That is just Fair.

Moving Mountains

I used to be addicted to nicotine and alcohol. While drunk one night I looked at myself in the mirror and started to pray. Then these words formed in my hart, move mountain, move. So every time I got drunk, I went to the mirror and told the man with the bloodshot eyes looking back at me. Move mountain, move, and repeated... A couple of month after that, I quit smoking, quit drinking, I joined a youth service and started to play in a church band. This was about 10 years ago.

While there is this lockdown/quarantine, I started a bad sleeping habit and more. I started to work till 3 in the mornings, then went to bed and slept till about 9 the morning or 12 in the afternoons. I will then go to my computer and start to work again. So focused on my business to make money during this lockdown we are facing over the world. I started to felt burned out and had this pain in my neck with all the sitting in front of the computer. I decided to get in routine again and do some exercise. But the first night I decided to go to bed early, I thought back at that day. Move mountain, move. And yes, it is exactly 3:09 in the morning while I am writing this. Not back in routine yet 🤔...

I feel like someone needs to hear this. No matter where you are and what you are facing; God gave me this answer and it is maybe just something you need to hear.

I know, we might fall back in bad habits "sin" or whatever you call them, but just keep standing up and stick to Jesus.

Also while thinking about that day, a song I was working on a while back. I finely finished written this morning. The song's name is "Move mountain, move".

Time with God gives more Time

You might be at a place of stress now and time feel like its running out faster, weeks feel like days and a day feels like a couple of minutes. It might feel like everyone around you just want to take even more time from you while you have bigger priority things that need to be done. Then, at the same time, you know you need to spend time with God and feel like even God wants your time. While thinking this, you feel even more bad about the situation for placing God as a burden.

Let me encourage you, God Loves you and wants you to take a big breath, go sit at God's feet in the name of Jesus and let God give you peace.

You will find spending time with God gives more time. Stress takes energy and the more you stress the less productive you will become.

Believe it or not, God wants to recharge your strength and show you His Love so that you want to worship Him even more.

Psalm 29:11  The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Isaiah 26:3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Colossians 3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Psalm 119:165  Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Make a Joyful Noice This Morning

Psalm 100:1  A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
100:2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
100:3  Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
100:4  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
100:5  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
