Get It Right - Keep It Right

GET IT RIGHT

KEEP IT RIGHT

If you believe > confess the following:

There is 1 God … Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

Father, I have sinned.

Your Son Jesus died for my sins.

Please forgive my sins … if you are sincere, you are forgiven.

Thank you, Jesus.

Jesus, I accept you as Lord of my life. Please come into my heart by your Holy Spirit & help me to be like you … to follow your Word, obey your commandments & do your will, not mine … as you help me grow.

* IMPORTANT - Jesus is our Lord, who we follow, not Him following us - we are to do His will, not Him to do our will.

If we are sincere, we enter into a 3 phase process of salvation:

Saved by being Born Again into our new spiritual life with God's Spirit, living in us. We drink the milk of the Word of God to grow & mature as we further are ...

Saved ... as we walk out your Salvation, being transformed into His image, as we run the race of life, in His Spirit. The race that we need not be 1st, but must finish God's purpose in our lives ... crossing the finish line of our lives, where we enter into the final faze of ...

Salvation ... as we receive our glorified perfect heavenly bodies.

As God is 3 in 1, so is much of His creation ... time is past, present & future ... elements are solid, liquid & vapor ... we are body, soul & spirit ... ... ... Salvation is:

Being Born Again, John 3:3, Romans 10:9-11,

We work out our Salvation, Philippians 2:12, Mark 13:13; 4:2-20 ... enduring to the end of our lives ...

To receive our glorified bodies, the completion of our salvation, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15.

Thus, we can not work for your salvation, that is the work entirely provided by Jesus, him having lived a sinless life, then died for our sins. Thus, Jesus alone, provided the foundation of our Salvation, that we may be born again into His glorious Light, as His children, to mature into His nature.

Mind you, we must work in our mind to believe, John 6:28-29. We must listen to & believe the gospel of what Jesus did for us, then weigh the cost of fallowing Him, as we need to forsake our worldly lifestyle, preach the gospel & be willing to be hated by the world ... to the point of death.

If we choose to receive Salvation, we must commit to serving Christ, by growing in His likeness & spread the gospel, fulfilling God's purpose in our lives - thus we are no longer ourselves, but His, not to do our own will, but to do His will. Thus, the walk will cost us everything.

Our Glorified bodies are a complete & total gift of God, in the final transition of our being, to enter into eternal habitation with Him.

Congratulations … you are saved from the eternal consequences of your sins & born again into God’s spiritual family, by His Holy Spirit that is now in you, not just around you … you have a fresh start … a new beginning!

As God provides opportunity, make your new life known to another follower of Jesus.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ...

:5 ... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ...
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 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.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Be water baptized, by any true believer as God directs in the Name (authority & character) of the Father, Son & Holy spirit.

Act 4:10 ... by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ...

Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

Act 8:36 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?

Act 8:37 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.

Act 8:38 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.

Further, being baptized in the Holy Ghost, which is the Holy Spirit:

Act 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
Act 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Act 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
Act 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Act 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Act 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

A LITTLE INSIGHT FOR THE JOURNEY …

God has truly made it this simple to be saved, so there is no excuse. Salvation is free but the walk will cost you everything … moment by moment seek His will & do it … not your own … the summation of these choices for the rest of your life will determine your final destination. Jesus said, But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.[1] (Mathew 24: 13). We must seek & complete the task He has created for us.

Thank God there is continual forgiveness along the way … if we seek it … but be careful not to take His grace for granted.

If we seek His truth & will … & perform it … life becomes an awesome adventure in spite of the adversities. Alternatives result in confusion & ultimately … DISASTER !!!

So … just … DO IT !!!

Interestingly, when things get intense, I like to look up & say, “Lord, it’s going to be interesting to see what you do with this situation.”

The Bible is a big book with a few critical truths repeated many times in many ways to give wisdom in diverse circumstances. Its main truths are so simple a child can comprehend them … yet so deep you can receive knowledge, understanding & wisdom for the rest of your life. The key is to graciously accept the insights God simplistically reveals as one continues to read & study … do not struggle to understand. It is important to desire insight but pushing it can lead to deception. While not being idle, we need to balance our pursuit of understanding with the humble fact that we are not God & we will always have questions. Also, do not let what we do not know get in the way of what we do know. Pray & compare insights with other Christian disciples & teachers. If you only listen to yourself you will deceive yourself … if you only listen to others without doing your own studying, you will be deceived by others. Of course above all, seek God without prejudice … avoiding self interest. Do this & you will never understand everything but God will make sure you know what you need to know … when you need to know it. Also, the more you put to use & share what you learn with others … both believers & unbelievers … the more God will enlighten you … even as you speak.

Many make the mistake of being captivated by what they want & how they can get it or what they do not want & how they can avoid it … instead of what is right & how can they help it happen … whether it happens or not. It truly is how we play the game not whether we win or lose. Where we spend eternity determines winning or losing.

There are many truths outside the Bible, but not outside God, for He is the truth & He does not contradict himself. We can not discover anything He does not know. Thus, any contradiction to the Bible is wrong, no matter how apparently convincing; eventually to be proven wrong, even if not until Judgment Day. This will be a perpetual test for the rest of this life; a major determination of representing or denying God's truths; thus representing or denying Him, because God is Truth thus the foundation of all truth. *

Some Positive Motivation:

The last 2 chapters of the bible … Revelation 21 & 22 … reveal how wonderful eternity with God will be like. However, our primary motive should never be what we can get but what we can give … as Jesus served others & gave His life for us … so we are to serve & give our lives for others.

Chapter 13 of 1 Corinthians essentially defines ‘LOVE’ as doing what is best (pleasant or harsh) to & for others regardless of self-consequence. 1 John 4 … ⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. ⁸He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. [2]

Romans 8:28 … all things (even our mistakes) work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. [3]

May God bless you on your journey … above & beyond all you could ever hope or imagine for !!!

What bible should I read? *

	*THE BLESSINGS OF GOD BE UPON YOU* The peace of God be with you *!!!* Vance
