And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Operate in the Works
Born from Above.
Luke advises that true salvation causes change. And Jesus said unto him, “Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.” As the time came for him to be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. Sending messengers before him, they entered a village of the Samaritans, but were not received due to his intended journey to Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John witnessed this, they proposed commanding fire to come down from heaven and consume them, but Jesus rebuked them, saying,
“Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
And they journeyed to another village.
On their way, a certain man expressed his willingness to follow Jesus wherever he goes. Jesus replied,
“Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”
Another said, “Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.” But Jesus declared, “Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”
Yet another said, “Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.” Jesus responded, “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
According to Jeremiah 29, the Lord knows the thoughts He thinks toward us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us an expected end.
If we call upon Him and pray with all our hearts, He will listen and we shall find Him when we seek Him.
Manifest a new life now, for there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Without salvation, we are joined with the devil in sin.
In Romans 5:1, it is stated that being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
In Romans 10:10, it is written, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Renewal comes through salvation.
Romans 8, as there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus who walk according to the Spirit. Let us be of the same mind toward one another, minding not high things but condescending to men of low estate.
In Matthew 16:16, Simon Peter confesses, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Luke warns us that whosoever shall be ashamed of Jesus and His words, the Son of man shall be ashamed of them when He comes in His glory. He spoke of His suffering, rejection, and resurrection, and declared,
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
Do you have the truths you need for salvation?
John 8:30-44 advises that if we continue in Jesus’ word, we shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us free.
Let us not be servants of sin but accept the freedom the Son offers. Believe in Jesus, the truth, and reject the lies of the devil.
Metamorphosis; renewal in the Word reflects mind, body, spirit, and soul. Perhaps you already believe and know these truths, which were written to your heart. Share your knowing with others who may need it.
