When Jesus died and rose again from death, Jesus saved us from:
what I call, the 3 "S's:
1. Sin: exercising our own will by disobeying God's commands, for sin is the transgression(violation) of the law(Word of God) 1 John 3:4
2. Separation from God: And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity(enemy) thereby Ephesians 2:16
3. Satan: accuser of our Brethren Rev 12:10 /For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John3:8
and the 3 "P's" of sin:
1. Penalty of sin: for the wages(payment) of sin is death...Romans 6:23
2. Power of sin: where as by one man(Adam) sin entered into the world and death by sin...Romans 5:12
3. Presence of sin: yet to come, Who shall change our vile(sinful, impure) body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body...Phi 3:21
We continually need to ask the Lord to keep our hearts on the mark, the prize of the high calling of God and hold our thoughts captive.
Memorization of scripture is one important way to me and hopefully you to do just that because the darkness of this world stains our hearts and minds we need to be reminded that this is not our permanent home now and our different life circumstances will not alter our hope in Him; to keep our hearts on things above (Colossians 3) by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).
Here are some scripture to remember(memorize) Jesus's finished work on the cross t and resurrection for us:
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 1 Peter 1:3
Keep looking up for his coming draweth nigh. Watch and pray!
About Me
- Valistener
- I was graciously saved from charismatic confusion and catholicism tradition unto Jesus alone by John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me" which I read in a Jack Chick tract called "This Was Your Life" given me from a Christian friend. At the end I broke into a cold sweat because of heavy conviction that what I just read I was guilty of and knew I was in trouble. I was given a book called "A Divine Revelation to Hell" from a Christian which scared the "hell" out of me. After reading another tract called "Last Rites" I prayed to God to forgive me and Jesus to save me because I didn't want to go to hell but go to Heaven one day. Jesus knew I could not save myself so He died on that cross for me. Now I give out Chick tracts, gospel movies, and Biblical archeology newspapers so that God may be glorified in me through His Son Jesus, Messiah. Don't ever give up on your family and friends you pray for because his Word doesn't return void. And one day, you may hear God say unto you "..Well done thou good and faithful servant:..enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" Matthew 25:21,23 Amen
Welcome All Who Seek to Know What God Is Doing In These Last Days!
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man...Luke 21:36 And in Acts 2:17-21 It says "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
