New Years Resolution

A New Years Resolution

A New Years Resolution

It’s as easy as can be

If you plan to get to heaven

Jesus said you come to me

By remembering what Jesus did

He did it just for you

He said you come to Me

I’ll make you all brand new

He came to save the lost

That’s always been His goal

Ask and you’ll receive

And He’ll renew your soul

So as you plan your New Year

Ask what you can do

By serving our Lord Jesus

For all He did for you

For what you do to others

Jesus said you did to Me

When you serve your brothers

You’re really serving Me

And the King will answer and say to them, 

‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the 

least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

MATTHEW 25:40

CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR

CHRISTMAS  ALL YEAR

Christmas is a time

When you spread a lot of cheer

But what Jesus did for us

Should last throughout the year

We celebrate His birth

The honor He deserves

But celebrate all He did

To get your place reserved

It’s love that Jesus taught us

Do you feel it in the street

He said now go and share it

With the people you will meet

It’s not just another holiday

It’s Christ we celebrate

He died and rose to heaven

He opened heaven’s gate

It’s Christmas we enjoy

But it’s Jesus that we love

The joy we get from Christmas

He was sent from God above

In this the love of God was manifested toward us,

that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,

that we might live through Him. 

1 JOHN  4 : 9

CHRISTMAS BELLS

CHRISTMAS  BELLS

When you hear a bell ring

They say an angel gets his wings

God gave him wings from the start

He created perfect beings

The Christmas bells that ring

It’s Jesus they ring for

God said through His Son

A soul He will restore

Christmas is a time

To reflect on who we are

With Jesus in our hearts

He’ll be our guiding star

Now as Christmas comes

Don’t forget the reason why

Jesus saved us from our sins

To live with Him on high

So when you hear a bell ring

Remember God is in control

For every time that bell rings

He saved another soul

He restores my soul;

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

 PSALM  23 : 3

TURNING AGAINST GOD

TURNING  AGAINST  GOD

There was a time not long a go people understood that all the great things America stood for were blessings from God. We thanked Him for everything, from the food on our table, the abundance of crops our land produced, we were known as the bread basket of the world, we saw an increase in livestock, and God even blessed us with children, He also blessed us to defeat our enemies. God truly blessed America then.

² And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you,

because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

³ “Blessed shall you be in the city, and

blessed shall you be in the country.

⁴ “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body,

the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds,

the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

⁵ “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

⁶ “Blessed shall you be when you come in,

and blessed shall you be when you go out.

⁷ “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against

you to be defeated before your face;

they shall come out against you one way

and flee before you seven ways.

⁸ “The Lord will command the

blessing on you in your storehouses

and in all to which you set your hand, and

He will bless you in the land

which the Lord your God is giving you.

DEUTERONOMY 28:2-8

America is now groaning, there is evil all around, and today the government defends all those who are against God, His word and His commandments. They call evil good and good evil, all while calling God’s righteous people racist and intolerant of those our government chooses to defend. With abortion in our land, we now have generations that sees no value to human life, accept their own. Our country started its descent when prayer was removed from our schools by one woman and our government and supreme court allowed this. They took away all the rights of the American people in support of one woman. Why? Because this was the beginning of the governments anti-God, and anti-Christian movement, the end of a free America, and we can see how quickly they have spread this. They have used the public schools and universities to brain wash generations into believing that only the government can save them, turning their hearts cold towards God.

² When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

PROVERBS 29:2

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put 

darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for 

sweet, and sweet for bitter! 

ISAIAH 5:20

 And because lawlessness will abound, 

the love of many will grow cold.

MATTHEW 24:12

With God no longer guarding our country, we have watched in silence and in vain and as every evil thing has spread through our land, racism, abortion, murder, hatred, and even our government knows and has aloud the enemy ISIS to come in with the refugees and can attack us any time they choose.  This has happened largely because the church and God’s people have not spoken out and defended the God they claim to love.

But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, 

God shall make you fall before the enemy;

for God has power to help and to overthrow.”

2 CHRONICLES 25:8

Laboring and Prospering with the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

PSALM 127:1

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

PSALM 94:16

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,

but rather expose them.

EPHESIANS 5:11-12

With this turning against God also comes a curse on the land with fires, floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, and blizzards, which have all caused a decline in our production of produce and livestock, and through refugees new diseases have been brought into our country and the ones that were once gone are now making a comeback.  God’s Blessings Have Left Our Country.

¹⁹ I will break the pride of your power; I will make your

heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. ²⁰ And your strength shall

be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce,

nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

²¹ ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing

to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues,

according to your sins. ²² I will also send wild beasts

among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy

your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall

be desolate. ²³ ‘And if by these things you are not reformed by Me,

but walk contrary to Me, ²⁴ then I also will walk contrary to

you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

²⁵ And I will bring a sword against you that will execute

the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together

within your cities I will send pestilence among you;

and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

LEVITICUS 26:19-26

Curses on Disobedience

¹⁵ “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice

of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments

and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses

will come upon you and overtake you:

¹⁶ “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.

¹⁷ “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

¹⁸ “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land,

the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

DEUTERONOMY 28:15-21

Woe to the leaders of the nations, for it is by them these offenses are brought in against God and His Son. Government leaders, some who even claim to be Christian are now imposing their will on God’s people trying to force them to accept homosexuality, transsexuals, abortion, and same sex marriage by passing laws against God’s word and against His people. For power, it seems these leaders are even willing to exchange their very souls to hang on to what little power they have. People have forgotten that if they turn against God, He will also turn against them.

The Degenerate City

²¹ How the faithful city has become a harlot!
It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it,
But now murderers. ²² Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water. ²³ Your princes are rebellious,
And companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

ISAIAH 1:21-23

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, 

and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give

in exchange for his soul?

MATTHEW 16:26

⁷ Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come,

but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

MATTHEW 18:7

²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness,

in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 

²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the

creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women

exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

ROMANS 1:24-26

Christian’s because of their faith, are now even in America facing hatred and persecution and being brought before government officials, judges, because of their faith in Jesus and refusing to deny Him, to obey our president’s laws that are against God and our faith. We have already seen God’s people being fined, going to jail, and their businesses going under for obeying God’s word over our governments. America, once known as a Christian country is now being handed over to Satan and his children. And again this happened because the church leaders have chosen to keep silent to protect their tax exemption rather than defend God’s word.  We need to ask who are they really serving, themselves or God.

¹⁸ You will be brought before governors and kings

for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

MATTHEW 10:18

²² And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

MATTHEW 10:22

But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you

and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons.

You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake.

LUKE 21:12

[ The Imperative of Love ] In this the children of God

and the children of the devil are manifest:

Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,

nor is he who does not love his brother.

1 JOHN 3:10

And not just Christians are being persecuted, but God’s chosen people the Jews, who God Himself tells of His everlasting love for them and Israel, His people and their land given to them by God.

² For you are a holy people to the Lord your God,

and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself,

a special treasure above all the peoples

who are on the face of the earth.

DEUTERONOMY 14:2

You shall write on them all the words of this law,

when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land 

which the Lord your God is giving you, ‘a land flowing with milk

and honey,’ just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you.

DEUTERONOMY 27:3

Blessed be the Lord your God, who delighted in you,

setting you on His throne to be king for the Lord your God!

Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them

forever, therefore He made you king over them,

to do justice and righteousness.”

2 CHRONICLES 9:8

We are one body in Christ who is the head of the church, His body. Why are we not coming out to defend our brothers and sister in Christ? Why are we keeping silent? If every church would have had their entire congregation write their representatives, maybe we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now.

And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it;

or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

1 CORINTHIANS 12:26

And He is the head of the body, the church,

 who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,

that in all things He may have the preeminence.

COLOSSIANS 1;18

How much does God loved Israel, His chosen people and land? God said He will curse the person or nation that curses Israel and He will eventually destroy all nations that will come against her.

² I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
³ I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth

shall be blessed.”

GENESIS 12:2-3

⁹ It shall be in that day that 

I will seek to destroy

all the nations that

come against Jerusalem.

ZECHARIAH 12:9

We have seen God’s wrath come to our nation every time our government gets involved with Israel giving up their land for peace, and peace never comes out of it, but America feels God’s wrath each time, be it floods, hurricanes, tornados, our economy or an attack from our enemy. Here are only a few examples.

October 30, 1991: President George Bush opens the Madrid Conference, a Middle East peace plan involving Israel’s land. On the same day, a rare storm hits off the coast of Nova Scotia. “The Perfect Storm,” causing heavy damage to President Bush’s home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moves to Washington D.C. lasting four days. On the same day Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster to hit America, caused an estimated $30 billion in damages and leaves 180,000 homeless in Florida.

January 16, 1994: President Clinton meets with Syria’s President Hafez el-Assad. They talk about a peace agreement with Israel that included giving up the Golan Heights. Less than 24 hours later, a 6.9 earthquake hits Southern California. The second most destructive natural disaster to hit the United States.

October 15, 1998: Yassar Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu met in Maryland to discuss Israel giving up 13 percent of the West Bank and Gaza in exchange for “peace.” Two days later, tornadoes hit Texas leaving $1 billion in damages.

August 22, 2005: As part of a U.S. brokered deal, Jews were forcibly evacuated being dragged out from Gaza. The next day, a tropical depression in the Atlantic formed into Hurricane Katrina and hit New Orleans, forcing tens of thousands to evacuate. Property damage in New Orleans exceeded $81 billion. Nearly 2,000 people died. It was one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

There is now also so called Christian churches that teach and believe that the church has replaced Israel, and that Israel is no longer relevant. This is a lie of Satan’s. Israel is and always will be God’s chosen people, His betrothed, and the apple of His eye. God will do whatever if takes to protect His chosen people, (His wife) and their land.

For thus says the Lord of hosts: "He sent Me after glory,

to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you

touches the apple of His eye.

ZECHARIAH 2:8 

¹⁹ “I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In loving kindness and mercy;
²⁰ I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And you shall know the Lord.

HOSEA 2:19-20

¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves

into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder! For Satan him self transforms

himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers

also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness,

whose end will be according to their works.

2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-15

Not only have the people defiled themselves with their false gods of stone and wood, and doing what ever vile thing they can think of, they have also defiled God’s land by doing so. 

⁵ The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Therefore the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
And few men are left.

ISAIAH 24:5-6

I brought you into a bountiful country,

To eat its fruit and its goodness.

But when you entered, you defiled My land

And made My heritage an abomination.

JEREMIAH 2:7

So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry,

that she defiled the land and committed

adultery with stones and trees.

JEREMIAH 3:9

And first I will repay double for their iniquity

and their sin, because they have defiled My land;

they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses

of their detestable and abominable idols.”

JEREMIAH 16:18

It is the leaders of our nation who have brought this destruction to our country. They no longer fear God All Mighty, forgetting that He can destroy both body and soul. As Christians we know that the rain falls on the just and unjust, but nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ.

that you may be sons of your Father in heaven;

for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good,

and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

MATTHEW 5:45

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

MATTHEW 10:28

Those who are not offended by God and confess His Son, Jesus before men are already blessed with eternal life through Jesus Christ.

(Confess Christ Before Men) "Therefore whoever confesses

Me before men, him I will also confess before

My Father who is in heaven.

MATTHEW 10:32

⁶ And blessed is he who is

not offended because of Me.”

MATTHEW 11:6

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life 

in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ROMANS 6:23

Without God there is no moral conscience of right or wrong. Each person decides for themselves what they perceive to be right or wrong, and it will be different for each person. How can God bless a country that has turn against Him and has no absolute truth any longer to live by?

² But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will not hear.
³ For your hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

⁴ No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in empty words and speak lies;
They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.

ISAIAH 59:2-4

Only if God’s people will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways and repent, will God heal our land.

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,

and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,

then I will hear from heaven, and will

forgive their sin and heal their land.

2 CHRONICLES 7:14

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

PSALM 33:12

IMPORTANCE OF REPENTANCE

 THE  IMPORTANCE  OF  REPENTANCE

Repentance is key. The word repent, repents, repented and repentance appears 

in the New Testament 56 times in the New King James Version.

Definition of Repentance - the humble realization and regret of one's action,

the process of repenting for misdeeds or moral shortcomings.

It is through our repenting, and being made sorry in a godly manner for our 

actions shows God's Spirit is with us assuring us of our salvation. Those without 

God's Spirit, without Jesus, their being sorry for their actions, still leads to death.

⁹ Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry,

but that your sorrow led to repentance.

For you were made sorry in a godly manner,

that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 

¹⁰ For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation,

not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

2 CORINTHIANS 7:9-11

Jesus came to call sinners to repentance, and that is how He began His Ministry by preaching repentance.  

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say,

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

MATTHEW 4:17

But go and learn what this means:

‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’

For I did not come to call the righteous,

but sinners, to repentance.”

MATTHEW 9:13

When Jesus heard it, He said to them,

“Those who are well have no need of a physician,

but those who are sick. I did not come to call 

the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

MARK 2:17

It is through understanding that God loved us so, that He sent His Son Jesus to die for us while we were still living our sinful lives.

But God demonstrates His own love

toward us, in that while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us.

ROMANS 5:8

Confession is good for the soul, and if we confess our sins to Him, (repent of our sins) He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just

to forgive us our sins and

to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 JOHN 1:9

It is through repentance, forgiveness, faith, and knowing it was through God's 

grace we were saved. Not even through good works or going to church can 

your sins be forgiven. We can not pick or choose one, it is all or nothing. It is 

only through repentance can we receive God's gift of the Holy Spirit who is 

our guarantee we belong to Him.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith,

and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 

⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast.

EPHESIANS 2:8-9

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth,

the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed,

you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the

guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the

purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

EPHESIANS 1:13-15

Many preachers are now teaching and preaching that you only need to believe, and that just by faith you can be saved. They take one verse, one scripture to validate their position.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy

and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men,

according to the basic principles of the world,

and not according to Christ.

COLOSSIANS 2:8

³ If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to

wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, ⁴ he is proud,

knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments

over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 

⁵ useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth,

who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw

yourself. ⁶ Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

1 TIMOTHY 6:3-6

I have to ask, if repenting of our sin was not necessary, why would Jesus have had to suffer and shed His blood for our sins?

in whom we have redemption through

His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

COLOSSIANS 1:14

Why then would Jesus have started His preaching with repent? One must search the scriptures to understand and to find out for themselves God’s truth, not man’s.

These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica,

in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched

the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

ACTS 17:11

He came to this world to save people from their sins, and also from God’s wrath to come through teaching them all God’s word.

And she will bring forth a Son, and

you shall call His name Jesus,

for He will save His people from their sins."

MATTHEW 1:21

and to wait for His Son from Heaven,

whom He raised from the dead,

even Jesus who delivers us

from the wrath to come.

1 THESSALONIANS 1:10

For Jesus is the Word of God, He is God’s spoken and written Word.

 In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God. 

² He was in the beginning with God.

JOHN 1:1-2

When Jesus was speaking to the churches in Revelation made it quite clear that those who don’t repent will be cast into the great tribulation. That alone tells us how important repenting of our sin is.

I tell you, no; but unless you repent 

you will all likewise perish.

LUKE 13:3

Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked,

but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

ACTS 17:30

²¹ And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality,

and she did not repent. ²² Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed,

and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation,

unless they repent of their deeds.

REVELATION 2:21-22

Those who haven’t repented care more about the things of this world, then the things of God, and knowing they are facing God’s wrath, they still refuse to repent of their deeds.

Do not love the world or the things 

in the world. If anyone loves the world,

the love of the Father is not in him.

1 JOHN 2:15

And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries

or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

REVELATION 9:21

And when people end up in the great tribulation, they will know these plagues are from God, and even then they still will not repent of their deeds.

And men were scorched with great heat,

and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over

these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

REVELATION 16:9

They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains

and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

REVELATION 16:11

Today we can see that the hearts of many have grown cold to the true teachings

of God, and have run to false teacher who will only tell then what they want to 

hear, and not tell them that they are sinners who need to repent of their sin.

¹¹ Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 

¹² And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 

¹³ But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

MATTHEW 24:11-13

³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,

but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,

they will heap up for themselves teachers; ⁴ and they will turn their ears

away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

2 TIMOTHY 4:3-4

After hearing or being taught the truth that is in Jesus, they decide to leave their 

church for the new and improved entertainment concept or accept changing their 

church to the new and improved. Now because they have chosen to listen and 

follow these false teachers, they end up returning to their sinful lives they were 

once freed from.

²¹ if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him,

as the truth is in Jesus: ²² that you put off, concerning your former conduct,

the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 

²³ and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

EPHESIANS 4:21-23

[ Deceptions of False Teachers ] For when they speak great swelling words of

emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness,

the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.

2 PETER 2:18

Only Jesus Christ has the power to forgive our sins, not any man or woman can, only Jesus, for He paid the price.

¹⁰ But that you may know that the Son of Man

has power on earth to forgive sins”—

He said to the paralytic, ¹¹ “I say to you, arise,

take up your bed, and go to your house.”

MARK 2:10-11

²⁰ When He saw their faith, He said to him, 

“Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

LUKE 5:19-21

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock,

among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers,

to shepherd the church of God

which He purchased with His own blood.

ACTS 20:28

He is the One who suffered and died in our place, for our sins, and He will come again to judge a non-repenting world.

They will give an account to Him

who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

1 PETER 4:5

He also tells us of those who will not inherit God’s kingdom, for they would not repent, and turn from their sinful lives, and the list is long. There will be no excuses, for Jesus told us beforehand.

⁸ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and 

you do these things to your brethren! 

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will

not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,

nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous,

nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners

will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:8-10

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:

adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,

outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 

²¹ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;

of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in

time past, that those who practice such things

will not inherit the kingdom of God.

GALATIANS 5:19-21

God also requires that we must also forgive others, as He forgave us. This God 

warned us about, if you don't forgive, neither will He forgive our trespasses. 

¹⁴ “For if you forgive men their trespasses,

your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 

¹⁵ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses,

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

MATTHEW 6:14-15

“So My heavenly Father also will do to you

if each of you, from his heart,

does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

MATTHEW 18:35

God also requires that we as Christians must love one another, as Christ loved us.

A new commandment I give to you,

that you love one another; as I have loved you,

that you also love one another.

JOHN 13:34

He who has My commandments and keeps them,

it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by

My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

JOHN 14:21

³¹ And the second, like it, is this:

‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

There is no other commandment greater than these.”

MARK 12:31

One does not just believe and receive. Being a Christian is a process. We hear of Christians falling away from their faith or walking away. They did not follow what God required, but believe what a pastor, minister, or priest told them. When we see people fall or walk away, know they did not understand, or were not taught to know what a true Christian believes. Too often we just let them go, rather than with love, show them God’s true teaching of repentance and forgiveness.

  Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass,

you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness,

considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

GALATIANS 6:1

in humility correcting those who are in opposition,

if God perhaps will grant them repentance,

so that they may know the truth.

2 TIMOTHY 2:25

While you still have breath, there is still time to receive Jesus and know without a doubt that you will be with Him in heaven. First to believe and receive, one must believe Jesus was born of a virgin, suffered and was crucified, rose from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. That Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead.

1.  Then admit you’re a sinner.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,

and the truth is not in us.

1 JOHN 1:8

2.  Confess your sins to God.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 JOHN 1:9

3.  Then repent of your sins.

I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven

over one sinner who repents than over

ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

LUKE 15:7

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence

of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

LUKE 15:10

4.  Only then will God send His Holy Spirit to come and live in you.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,

He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance

all things that I said to you.

JOHN 14:26

¹³ In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth,

the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed,

you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 

¹⁴ who  is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption

of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

EPHESIANS 1:13-14

5.  And you will serve Him all the days of your life.

²³ And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance;

for you serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ But he who does wrong will be repaid

for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

COLOSSIANS 3:23-25

how much more shall the blood of Christ,

who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself

without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from

dead works to serve the living God?

HEBREWS 9:14

Now Is The Time To Repent, For The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand
