Hi Dwight.

Amen I agree and love verse given. I love the following verse also.

1 John 4:21. And this commandment have we from him, That HE WHO LOVETH GOD LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.

I have always read this verse as tho it said, He who loveth God "SHOULD" love his brother also.

But "should" is absent,

It's saying you can't do one without the other!!

HE WHO LOVETH GOD LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.

God bless.

Like wise, may God's blessings be upon you.

Amen Gordon.

Well said

Brother S Spencer

You ask: "Some would argue once Christ saved us it's up to us to remain saved. My question to that group is can you do that and How?"

I will let Jesus and apostle John answer your question(s). Yes, we need to commit as Christians to walk with Christ and are instructed to in many various scripture throughout the bible. Here is apostle John below:

1 John 2:3-6

3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Regarding Christians producing good works/good fruit, here below Jesus tells us in no uncertain terms that he will reward us accordingly for our good work:

Revelation 22:12-14

12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city

So, Jesus says above: I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE!

Blessed are they that do HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and MAY ENTER in through the gates into the city!

To deny the above scripture is to argue with Jesus/God. We must take ACTIVE participation toward our salvation!

God Bless.

Amen Brother Earl, we are His workmanship.

:)

Amen and Amen, Brother Carleton:

We follow him because of HIS WORK:

Ezekiel 36:27

Philippians 1:29

Amen and Amen, Brother S Spencer:

We are just A POT, a pot can do NOTHING of itself.

All is of GOD (Spirit, truth, life).

It is finished. Part 1.

Is our atonement forever or once Christ freed us it's up to us to Atone for ourselves?

When Christ offered himself, He did it all!

The sacrifice had to be without blemishe.

Jesus didn't need cleansing from sin.

Jesus was sinless throughout his life.

PERFECT AND COMPLETE.

What's important to Know is the high priest in the levitical priesthood had to offer up sacrifices for himself and then the children of Israel. because it was IMPERFECT. But not Christ.

Hebrews 7:27. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Jesus was an offering to the Lord for our sins. ONCE! By it we have atonement. He was raised from the dead showing the prophesied sacrifice was accepted.

HOW ARE WE KEPT.

As the offering of Christ was complete for remission of sins compared to the Levitical offerings because they had to offered often. Can we remain perfect by law keeping and continuous offerings? NO!

Hebrews 10:11-12. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, WHICH CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY SINS:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

1 John 2:1-2. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

And he is the propitiation for our sins: Atonement that is (concretely)

Colossians 3:3. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Jude 1:24-25. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

John 10:28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

It is finished. Part 2

Some would argue once Christ saved us it's up to us to remain saved. My question to that group is can you do that and How?

By doing what wasn't accepted in the Law? Can self righteousness clean evil thoughts? If you refuse the only complete sacrifice and insist sanctification is left up to you, Can you present yourself as the perfect covering/Atonement? In this erred thinking you're misunderstanding what HID IN CHRIST MEANS AND ATONEMENT.

There's some believe Christ died for our sins but we want know if we are saved until we are judged. We'll that don't sound like this group have faith in Christ or their methods of continuous self reconciliation.

And without faith we cannot please God.

I believe in the keeping power and advocate mentioned in the previous scriptures given in Part 1.

Philippians 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Philippians 2:12-13. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

FOR IT IS GOD WHICH WORKETH IN YOU BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE.

It is God in you that ( WILLS ) you to work out your own salvation and to do of his good pleasure.

PS. This is a Message on Sanctification by the Spirit and fruit barring which follows Salvation.

God bless.

Thank you. Hopefully you were not thinking I was saying that the tribe of Dan no longer exist. My reference in their land inheritance and idolatry came from Judges chapter 18 in those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. and the children of Dan sent their family five men from their coasts, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land....... Verse 29 and they call the name of the city Dan after the name of Dan their father _ Verse 30 and the children of Dan set up graven images.

Ephraim of Joseph has never been a concern to me of where they may stand in the last days.

Please pray that my mother and brother grow closer to the Lord. Please pray that they have a desire for the Word, and a desire to get to know the Lord better.

Please also pray for my other brother and dad. They do not know the Lord yet, but God willing they surrender their lives to Christ soon.

Please also pray that I not hinder the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. Pray that God helps me surrender to Him in every aspect of my life.

Thank you, May God bless you all

You are talking about God , Heavenly Father, Creator of all life and sustainer of life . He can work none came hinder, Why is it so hard to Belive that Holy Spirit , Jesus Christ the Lord , and God Almighty be impossible to be 3 persons in One . How and why is that so hard imagime ,when God can do and will the impossible. God can do and does what is impossible with mankind. I don't have any doubt the 3 are One, the Trinity of God. Amen

@Put on Christ even though we may not want to - Some people actually do like it.

Please say a prayer for Leo James Wagner26 of Browning Montana still missing since April 27, 2021

Thank you Gentle Brothers in Christ for sharing our hearts together. A few thoughts:

The Gospel message for the Christian to share is "To Come". Do we want to hinder this message by the cares of this world? The scriptures say to give honor to those who have authority over us. God has seen to protect His children by authorities in the world so that in the world we can be quiet and stay on message. What is the message? The message He made in our lives by Christ Jesus, our Life, our eternal life, which is seen by our neighbors by our peace and love. We have been bought for a price and we cannot pickup where we left off in our worldly pride and worldly self worth. Our value is in Him. We can be lambs in Him and he is our Shepherd and if we will follow Him we can lay down our lives without fear for our Love that we have for our friends.

Spiritual discernment is needed in medical and political issues in our lives.

Be brave.

:)

Dear Brother ChrisE,

Sorry to hear that you and your family have suffered with the covid, but also very glad to hear that you, and family members affected, have now recovered. We also praise God along with you for the healing.

I also believe that God created his children to have special talents, including the knowledge to use medicine to heal. God provides us with this knowledge to help ourselves as the following scripture mentions.

Revelation 22:2

"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

2 Kings 20:7

"And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered."

Even Jesus acknowledges that we may need a physician:

Matthew 9:12

"But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick."

We Praise God for your recovery, as God continues to use others, and methods (Physicians, pharmaceuticals) to help us in the healing our physical ailments.

God Bless.

Hi Thomas.

I believe in miracles, However I don't believe every miracles is of God.

That's why the scripture says you shall know them by their fruits.

It doesn't say you shall know them by their works or gifts.

Matthew 7:15-23. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

God bless.

Hi Sheila.

Good observation. Dan and Ephraim is omitted from witnessing in Revelation, However Dan goes into the Millennium kingdom, And so does Ephraim.

I believe they lost their Witness but not Brotherhood for lack of better terms.

Appearance in the Millennium-

Ezekiel 47:22. And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

Ezekiel 47:23. And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 48:1-2. Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for DAN.

And by the border of DAN, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.

Ezekiel 48:5. And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.

God bless.

In response to Mishael comments on The Ten Commandments:

In Matt. 22:37-40 Jesus answers the Pharisees question to what is the greatest commandments. He sum the 1st through the 4th commandments up into one "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Then HE sum up the 5th through the 10th commandments in the 39 vs with Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. What Jesus did here, is He let them know that loving God is the most important thing but we can't God without loving our neighbor ( 1 John 4:20).

Amen Brother Chris.

Hello Phillip. Genesis 4:1: "And Adam knew (had sexual relations) with his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD". If Genesis gives a clear word that Adam was Cain's father, then when 1 John 3:12 is quoted in reference that Cain "was of that wicked one", it must mean that Cain's spirit was subject to Satan & not to God. God's Spirit would never allow a murder - only Satan would inspire that. So, if you wish to quote 1 John 3:12, you would need to look at Genesis 4:1 also.
