THEY ARE NOT SAVED-----------Oftentimes, the unsaved look like they are saved. It is written, WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! FOR YE ARE AS GRAVES WHICH APPEAR NOT, AND THE MEN THAT WALK OVER THEM ARE NOT AWARE OF THEM-Lk 11:44. Most religious leaders were and are today as graves. They lead people to hell. Yet they do not appear to be graves. They do not appear to be people that lead others to destruction. People hear them and are led by them and are not aware that these people are blind leaders. They are not aware that they are being led to hell. They look like they are saved, but they are not. They make people TWOFOLD MORE THE CHILD OF HELL THAN them SELVES-Mt 23:15. FOR SUCH ARE FALSE APOSTLES, DECEITFUL WORKERS, TRANSFORMING THEMSELVES INTO THE APOSTLES OF CHRIST-2 Cor 11:13. These people look like they are of Christ, but they are not. AND NO MARVEL; FOR SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT-2 Cor 11:14. Satan often comes to us in various ways. He lies to us but makes us think that it is God talking to us. Satan deceives the whole world-ref Rev 12:9. THEREFORE IT IS NO GREAT THING (or it is no big surprise) IF HIS MINISTERS (the ministers, the clergy, the priests, the missionaries, the elders, and others that are following Satan) ALSO BE TRANSFORMED AS THE MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. In other words, they look like they are of God. They look like they are ministers of righteousness. WHOSE END SHALL BE ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS-2 Cor 11:13-15. They themselves are positive they are of God. They do not understand they are ministers of darkness. They do not understand that both they and the people that are under them shall perish to the lake of fire for eternity. It is written, IF THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND, BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH-Mt 15:14. If a person persists in following a preacher, priest, rabbi, elder, etc., that is not walking with God, he shall perish along with the blind leader of the blind. To give a few examples of how the unsaved look like they are saved, note the following. They draw near to Jesus with their mouth. They honor Jesus with their lips. They worship Jesus, but they are not saved-ref Mt 15:8,9. On the outside they look righteous and holy. They tithe on everything. They sit in important places. People greet them. They do not appear unsaved. Men are not aware that they are unsaved. Men come to them. They appear to be something that they are not. They call Jesus, "Master." They believe they are saved. They have religious positions of authority. Men obey them. They build the graves of the prophets. They have a form of knowledge, yet they are not saved-ref Lk 11:39-52. They have a zeal of God, but they are unsaved-ref Ro 10:2. They seek to enter heaven. They knock on God's door. They pray and call upon the name of the Lord. They take communion. He taught in their streets, yet they are not saved-ref Lk 13:24-27 and Mt 7:21. They prophesied in the name of Jesus. They cast out devils in the name of Jesus. They do many wonderful works in the name of Jesus, but they shall perish-Mt 7:21-23. They trust that they are righteous. They pray long prayers. They give thanks to God. They appear sinless. They fast twice a week. They give tithes of all they possess, yet they are not saved-ref Lk 18:9-14; Lk 20:47. This is only a brief list of examples from God's Word of how the unsaved look like they are saved. Sometimes a person might be asked the question, "Do the unsaved look like they are saved?" The answer is, "Many times, yes they do." How then can a person know if a clergyman is saved? Answer, it is very difficult. Throughout history many, many, many, people have followed blind leaders that looked like they were saved right to destruction. Now they are in hell, screaming in torment. The answer to this is, by the fruits of the Spirit and their love for the true followers of Christ. The answer to this can also include their doctrine. There was one indication that the Bible showed over and over that revealed the religious leaders were not saved. That way was correction. Time after time, Jesus corrected the people and religious leaders that looked like they were of God. However, when they were corrected by Jesus or the Apostles, they would not believe the correction, and they would not repent. Oftentimes, but not always, they became angry when they were corrected. They were strifeful. They were not meek and childlike when they were corrected. Their attitude, when they were corrected from God's Word, was a very good indicator if they were of God or not. In other words, they do not believe some parts of God's Word, even though they teach God's Word. One example, might be a man and woman living together. They might have had permission from their parents. They might even have children. However, they are not married in the eyes of a holy God. They are following the tradition of a country, but not God's Word. It is not possible for them to be saved, no matter how much they teach God's Word. They are blind, yet they are positive they are not blind just as the Pharisees were. They are living in fornication. Now, when they are confronted with God's Word on this subject, they are so filled with wrong thoughts, teachings, traditions, fears, and pressures from relatives and their community, that they will not or cannot understand in their heart. They do not understand that they are living in wickedness and sin and that they are not walking with God, no matter how much they may look like they are walking with God. They will not believe God's Word. They may even become argumentative and strifeful and say that God's Word does not mean this or that. They may say, "That is your interpretation." They may say, "God knows my heart." They do not understand that "without holiness, no man will see the Lord"-ref Heb 12:14. They do not understand that THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED: WHO CAN KNOW IT-Jere 17:9? Because they will not believe the Bible on this subject, neither would they believe a missionary, an angel or even Jesus Himself or anyone sent to them from God to correct them. Their own traditions and sin have blinded them to the truth. Such persons need to repent. They need to be broken and humbled. They need to beg for God's mercy and deny themselves. They should separate, and then get married God's way. Then after, they should get baptized by immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Then henceforth, they should continue walking with God. Again, it needs to be said. Because they will not receive correction as a little child with a childlike, humble, meek attitude, it shows clearly they are not walking with God. Some of these people are so positive they are saved and so blind, that even when they are left behind in the Rapture or even when they are at the judgment, they try to argue with Jesus. Nevertheless, because they would not depart from iniquity, they shall surely perish for eternity. It needs to be understood. What sin is, is not defined by traditions of a people or a country. It is not defined by a person's emotions. It is not defined by what you think sin is or is not. Sin is defined by God's Word and God's Word only. It is God's Word that shall judge you. It does not matter if you, your parents, your friends, your church, your community, or your country, are positive that you are right; it is God's Word that will judge you. It is God's Word that will declare if you are in sin or not. WE ARE OF GOD: HE THAT KNOWETH GOD HEARETH US; HE THAT IS NOT OF GOD HEARETH NOT US. HEREBY KNOW WE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR-1 Jn 4:6. IF ANY MAN HAVE EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR-Mk 4:23. Many think they have come to the light. They teach God's Word. They go on missionary trips. They evangelize, but they will not come to and surrender to God's Word in truth. It is written, AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, THAT LIGHT IS COME INTO THE WORLD, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. FOR EVERY ONE THAT DOETH EVIL HATETH THE LIGHT, NEITHER COMETH TO THE LIGHT, LEST HIS DEEDS SHOULD BE REPROVED (or made known or corrected). BUT HE THAT DOETH TRUTH COMETH TO THE LIGHT, THAT HIS DEEDS MAY BE MADE MANIFEST, THAT THEY ARE WROUGHT IN GOD-Jn 3:19-21.   IF JESUS AIN'T IN IT,YOU GET OUT IT.-----------------------------This message is not popular. It is a message that many born-again Christians rebel against. God set down guidelines for "His" people, for "His" saints; and God wants every believer to obey "His" commands ref-Heb 5:9. Most Christians seem to have the misguided impression that they can partake of God’s table and the table of Satan as well. They think they can live for God some of the time and live as they wish the rest of the time. The Scriptures are full of people that thought this way, and they perished to hell. It is written in 2 Cor 6:14,15,17-BE YE (that is you) NOT UNEQUALLY YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS: FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP HATH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? AND WHAT COMMUNION HATH LIGHT WITH DARKNESS?…WHAT PART HATH HE THAT BELIEVETH WITH AN INFIDEL (an unbeliever)? WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE (that is you) SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD. If you have repented, then you have made a commitment to follow and obey God’s Word. Let’s look at God’s Word again. It is written, BE YE NOT UNEQUALLY YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS. You, as a Christian, are not to be tied together with an unbeliever. When you come to the cross, you surrender to Jesus, to do "His" will. You are to follow what "He" wants you to do. The verse continues, FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP HATH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? In other words, what fellowship is there between the works of God and the works of Satan? What fellowship is there between a person who has surrendered to Jesus, and a person that is following Satan? The answer is obvious; there is none. As 2 Cor 6:15 tells us once again, WHAT PART HATH HE THAT BELIEVETH WITH AN INFIDEL? (That is an unbeliever.) God classifies an unbeliever as an infidel. An unbeliever, up to this point, has chosen not to receive the forgiveness and the love that is offered by God through Jesus Christ. An unbeliever has willingly chosen to take sides with those who crucified the only begotten Son of God. In God’s eyes, there are only two types of people. There are those who follow Jesus and those who do not. The Bible tells us, if you are not for God, you are against God. Now, if you have chosen to follow Jesus, then you are not to have fellowship with those who are against Jesus. Do not say they are not against Jesus, when the Bible has shown us that if a person is not for God (if he is not saved), then he is against God. The only way that a person can be for God is through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of his life. If a person rejects Jesus, they are against God. A born-again believer has nothing in common with an unbeliever. This is very clear and comes as a command in 2 Cor 6:17-WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD. This is God talking directly to you and me. If you reject God’s Word, you reject God. God’s Word is telling us not to have fellowship with unbelievers. We are not to be yoked with unbelievers; but we are to separate from all unbelievers. Come out from among them. If a person is dating an unsaved person, they are to stop immediately. If a person hangs out with unsaved people, they are to stop immediately. The Scripture states in 1 Cor 5:13-PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON. In addition, we are told, regarding born-again people that do not obey the Gospel, not to even eat with such people. Paul talking about the wicked person says, in 1 Cor 5:11-NOW I HAVE WRITTEN UNTO YOU NOT TO KEEP COMPANY, IF ANY MAN THAT IS CALLED A BROTHER (note it didn’t say he was born-again, but rather professes to be or is called born-again) BE A FORNICATOR, OR COVETOUS, OR AN IDOLATER, OR A RAILER, OR A DRUNKARD, OR AN EXTORTIONER; WITH SUCH AN ONE NO NOT TO EAT. 2 Thes 3:6-NOW WE COMMAND YOU (please note the directness of God’s Word) THAT YE WITHDRAW YOURSELVES FROM EVERY BROTHER THAT WALKETH DISORDERLY, AND NOT AFTER THE TRADITION WHICH YE RECEIVED OF US. This is God speaking directly to all that are born-again. A person is to withdraw from fellowship with all unbelievers and also from all believers that do not obey the Gospel. 2 Thes 3:14,15-is talking to believers as it says, IF ANY MAN OBEY NOT OUR WORD…NOTE THAT MAN, AND HAVE NO COMPANY WITH HIM, THAT HE MAY BE ASHAMED. YET COUNT HIM NOT AS AN ENEMY, BUT ADMONISH HIM AS A BROTHER. Correct this person, admonish him, and do it in meekness and in the fear of the Lord, the Bible tells us. Remember, God’s Word is always perfect and is profitable for correction. God’s Word tells you how to live, if you are a believer. Every time you disobey God’s Word, you give Satan an opening. The Bible warns you, neither give place to the devil. The Scriptures show us that Satan goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. God’s Word shows us that a believer is an abomination to an unbeliever and vice versa. Listen to God’s Word. Pv 29:27-AN UNJUST MAN IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE JUST. If you follow Jesus, a person that lives in sin is an abomination to you. The verse continues, AND HE THAT IS UPRIGHT IN THE WAY IS ABOMINATION TO THE WICKED. Even though your unbelieving friends may not admit it directly, the fact that you are living for Jesus offends them, especially if your light shines brightly. You, as a true follower of Jesus, are an abomination to them. You may say, "No, that cannot be true, not to my close friends." But rest assured, it is true. Two may be the best of friends. It may be two brothers. When one turns to Jesus and the other does not, the one that does not is offended. He does not understand the light that shines in the other person. The darkness cannot comprehend the light. The light exposes the wicked deeds of the unrepentant heart; and thus the person who will not come to the light, to Jesus, finds that the true believer is an abomination to him. The best of friends become separated, and close brothers are no longer close. The saved person seeks for his friend to turn to Jesus; while the unsaved person detests the person that follows Jesus. The unsaved person may try to draw the saved person back into sinful ways. It often happens in such a subtle way that the saved person becomes deceived and falls back into sin, into his old ways. Remember the words of Jesus as His mother came to see Him? It is written in Lk 8:20,21-AND IT WAS TOLD HIM (Jesus) BY CERTAIN WHICH SAID, THY MOTHER AND THY BRETHREN STAND WITHOUT, DESIRING TO SEE THEE. AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, MY MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN ARE THESE WHICH HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, AND DO IT. The importance that Jesus placed on this is so great it is repeated in Matthew’s Gospel as well as Mark’s Gospel. As born-again believers, our whole attitude changes. Our whole outlook changes. We no longer live for this world. We love God. We love to serve Him. We love to help people. We love to go to church and to fellowship with other believers. Drugs, drinking, parties, dirty movies, even defiling our body with cigarettes, all become repulsive to us. Illicit sex, lying of any kind, cursing, and so much more, we grow to hate; but to the unsaved person, there is nothing wrong with these things. As God’s Word has told us, what communion is there between the believer and unbeliever? They both have different goals, outlooks, and destinies. One lives for this world; the other looks forward to the next world. One will be with Jesus forever; the other will dwell in the lake of fire forever. 2 Cor 10:5-CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS, AND EVERY HIGH THING THAT EXALTETH ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE (note obedience) OF CHRIST. You are not to fellowship with people that are unsaved; with those that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. Satan works through people, time and time again, to try to confuse or draw the believer away from his faith in Jesus Christ. Satan works through people to try to draw the believer away from serving Jesus. Satan will use people to embarrass and offend you. They may even use Scripture incorrectly to draw you away from God’s perfect will. Satan tried to do the same thing to Jesus. He tempted Jesus with Scripture, but when Jesus used the Word back, Satan had to flee. You need to not only study your Bible daily; you also need to obey it. You are to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only-ref Ja 1:22. For it is not those who hear the Word that will be justified, but those who obey the Word.
NEW CHRISTIANS / CHAT-FORUMS & MORE   BIBLE NOTES
EARTHLY SPEECHBORN-AGAIN EVIDENCE AND ATTITUDEListen to a person's speech. Listen to your own speech. How much of your daily speech is centered on the things of God? How much of your speech is centered on the things of this world? How much of your speech is of faith? How much of your speech contains doubt? How much of your speech is seasoned with grace? How much of your speech is not? Is only one or two percent of your speech during the average day centered on Jesus? Is only ten or twenty percent centered on Jesus? Consider carefully. These are reflections of your walk or lack of a walk with God. One hundred percent of the speech of Jesus was of God. It is written, HE THAT COMETH FROM ABOVE IS ABOVE ALL: HE THAT IS OF THE EARTH IS EARTHLY, AND SPEAKETH OF THE EARTH: HE THAT COMETH FROM HEAVEN IS ABOVE ALL-Jn 3:31. It is written, OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKETH-Mt 12:34. A person whose conversation is mostly of the things of this world, has his heart in this world. He that is worldly, or carnal, or unsaved, his conversation will be mostly of this earth and earthly things. He is of the earth. It is written, AMONG WHOM ALSO WE ALL HAD OUR CONVERSATION IN TIMES PAST IN THE LUSTS OF OUR FLESH, FULFILLING THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH AND OF THE MIND; AND WERE BY NATURE THE CHILDREN OF WRATH, EVEN AS OTHERS-Eph 2:3. Those of the earth, the worldly, the unsaved, and the carnal have their conversation centered in the things of this world, in the things of the lusts of the flesh. There conversation is centered in "I," that is, in themselves. They say, "I will, and I shall." It is written, THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: THEREFORE SPEAK THEY OF THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD HEARETH THEM. Note, the verse clearly states, that those whose conversation speaks of the world, they are of the world. They are not of God. WE ARE OF GOD: HE THAT KNOWETH GOD HEARETH US; HE THAT IS NOT OF GOD HEARETH NOT US. HEREBY KNOW WE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR-1 Jn 4:5,6. These people that are of the world, WHOSE END IS DESTRUCTION, WHOSE GOD IS THEIR BELLY, AND WHOSE GLORY IS IN THEIR SHAME, WHO MIND EARTHLY THINGS. FOR OUR CONVERSATION IS IN HEAVEN; FROM WHENCE ALSO WE LOOK FOR THE SAVIOUR, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST-Phil 3:19,20. We would expect a new babe in Christ to have very worldly conversation. However, the Scriptures are clear and give guidelines for determining a person's walk or lack of walk with Jesus. The Scriptures identify a person's relationship or lack of relationship with Jesus. Just listen to your own conversation. Just listen to the conversation of others. The evidence of the abundance or overflow of the heart can be heard. The evidence that a person has been converted or may not be converted can be in their conversation.   -CARNAL, WORLDLY, EARTHLY, LUKEWARMBORN-AGAIN EVIDENCE AND ATTITUDE1. There are different circumstances underlying carnality or worldliness. The first is that a person has just been converted. They have not had much time to grow in God's Word. When a person comes to Jesus by faith and repents, they are still very worldly or carnal. They may have been in a church all their life, but still their understanding is very limited. If they have truly been converted, they will have a great desire and hunger to get into God's Word and learn of Jesus; as it is written, AS NEWBORN BABES, DESIRE (or craves or cries for, or greatly wants or hungers for) THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD, THAT YE MAY GROW THEREBY: IF SO BE YE HAVE TASTED THAT THE LORD IS GRACIOUS-1 Pe 2:2,3. Through God's Word, they can grow in wisdom and knowledge. Their faith can grow. Note, a person's faith cannot exceed their knowledge of God's Word. Indeed, FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD-Ro 10:17. The first place that Satan can be expected to attack is the Word. Satan will use every possible trick to keep a person from submerging themselves in the Bible. He usually succeeds. The new Christian should begin reading many, many chapters a day. A person that reads only one, two, or three chapters a day, may not be serious about God at all. While in this very worldly or carnal state, Satan can often attack them very successfully, because they do not understand the many devices of Satan. It is like a new tree in your garden. When the new tree is very young and not very tall, it is easy to pull up and kill it. It will die easily and quickly if it is not watered. This is like a new Christian. Satan can more easily uproot a new Christian. If the new Christian is not in God's Word being watered, he can die quickly. However, the tree that has grown to be a big tree with good nourishment, cannot be easily pulled up. The only nourishment that can help a Christian grow is God's Word. 2. The second form of carnality or worldliness is a result of not being in God's Word. A person that cannot read often fits into this category. They may have a zeal of God, but they have very little knowledge. Also a person that is busy with their job, or doing this or that, or wants to teach but does not want to learn, fits in this category. They spend very little time in God's Word. They are very worldly, because they have never submitted themselves to dwelling in and learning God's Word as they ought. 3. The third form of carnality or worldliness can be a result of sin or wrong thinking. These are people that are dull of hearing. This Christian still has the world in their heart. They are two-faced. Their one face looks to Jesus, but their other face looks back at the world and its possessions, pleasures, and lusts. Their mind is on Jesus some of the time, but it is also on loving this world part of the time. They want Jesus, but they also want the better things of this life and money. They have a struggle going on inside themselves. It is like each of their arms have a rope tied to it. One rope pulls them toward Jesus, but the other rope pulls them toward the world and Satan. Their heart will ultimately pick which direction they go. They are carnally minded. Their mind is not spiritual. It is written, FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE. BECAUSE THE CARNAL (or worldly) MIND IS ENMITY (or hatred) AGAINST GOD: FOR IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. SO THEN THEY THAT ARE IN THE FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD-Ro 8:6-8. AND I, BRETHREN, COULD NOT SPEAK UNTO YOU AS UNTO SPIRITUAL, BUT AS UNTO CARNAL, EVEN AS UNTO BABES IN CHRIST. I HAVE FED YOU WITH MILK (basic doctrines of God's Word), AND NOT WITH MEAT (perfection): FOR HITHERTO YE WERE NOT ABLE TO BEAR IT, NEITHER YET NOW ARE YE ABLE. FOR YE ARE YET CARNAL: FOR WHEREAS THERE IS AMONG YOU ENVYING, AND STRIFE, AND DIVISIONS, ARE YE NOT CARNAL, AND WALK AS MEN? FOR WHILE ONE SAITH, I AM OF PAUL; AND ANOTHER, I AM OF APOLLOS; ARE YE NOT CARNAL? One may say, "I am a Baptist." "I am a Pentecostal." WHO THEN IS PAUL, AND WHO IS APOLLOS, BUT MINISTERS BY WHOM YE BELIEVED, EVEN AS THE LORD GAVE TO EVERY MAN? I HAVE PLANTED, APOLLOS WATERED; BUT GOD GAVE THE INCREASE. SO THEN NEITHER IS HE THAT PLANTETH ANY THING, NEITHER HE THAT WATERETH; BUT GOD THAT GIVETH THE INCREASE-1 Cor 3:1-7. Some carnal people follow CARNAL ORDINANCES, IMPOSED ON THEM-Heb 9:10. It is written, OF WHOM WE HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY, AND HARD TO BE UTTERED, SEEING YE ARE DULL OF HEARING. FOR WHEN FOR THE TIME YE OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS, YE HAVE NEED THAT ONE TEACH YOU AGAIN WHICH BE THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE ORACLES OF GOD; AND ARE BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK, (which is basic doctrines) AND NOT OF STRONG MEAT (which is perfection). FOR EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK (or is learning basic doctrines) IS UNSKILFUL IN THE WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR HE IS A BABE. BUT STRONG MEAT (which is perfection) BELONGETH TO THEM THAT ARE OF FULL AGE, EVEN THOSE WHO BY REASON OF USE HAVE THEIR SENSES EXERCISED TO DISCERN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL. THEREFORE LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES OF THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST (which is milk), LET US GO ON UNTO PERFECTION (which is meat); NOT LAYING AGAIN THE FOUNDATION OF (the basic doctrines which is milk, including) REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, AND OF FAITH TOWARD GOD, OF THE DOCTRINE OF BAPTISMS, AND OF LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND OF RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, AND OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT. AND THIS WILL WE DO, IF GOD PERMIT-Heb 5:11-6:3. 4. Lastly, an unbeliever is carnal or worldly.
THE VILLAGE   REPENT
FAITHFUL, FAITHFULNESSBORN-AGAIN EVIDENCE AND ATTITUDEFaithfulness is seldom taught in the Church. Yet, when a person receives Jesus by faith, they begin a trip to test their faithfulness. Will a person be faithful and obey God's Word, or will they not? A person that will not be faithful, ultimately will perish to the Lake of Fire. Only the faithful will hear God's Word, WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT-Mt 25:21. Jesus healed people. Then HE CHARGED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TELL NO MAN: BUT THE MORE HE CHARGED THEM, SO MUCH THE MORE A GREAT DEAL THEY PUBLISHED IT-Mk 7:36. They would not be faithful. AND JESUS PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND TOUCHED HIM, SAYING, I WILL; BE THOU CLEAN. AND IMMEDIATELY HIS LEPROSY WAS CLEANSED. AND JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, SEE THOU TELL NO MAN; BUT GO THY WAY, SHEW THYSELF TO THE PRIEST, AND OFFER THE GIFT THAT MOSES COMMANDED, FOR A TESTIMONY UNTO THEM-Mt 8:3,4. Some would obey Jesus. Some would not. Some were faithful, some were not. It is written, AND AS THEY CAME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN, HE (Jesus) CHARGED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TELL NO MAN WHAT THINGS THEY HAD SEEN, TILL THE SON OF MAN WERE RISEN FROM THE DEAD-Mk 9:9. The apostles obeyed Jesus. They were faithful.   AT THE JUDGMENT, FAITHFULNESS BRINGS REWARDSIt is written, AND THE LORD SAID, WHO THEN IS THAT FAITHFUL AND WISE STEWARD, WHOM HIS LORD SHALL MAKE RULER OVER HIS HOUSEHOLD, TO GIVE THEM THEIR PORTION OF MEAT IN DUE SEASON-Lk 12:42?It is written, WHO THEN IS A FAITHFUL AND WISE SERVANT, WHOM HIS LORD HATH MADE RULER OVER HIS HOUSEHOLD, TO GIVE THEM MEAT IN DUE SEASON-Mt 24:45? It is written, HIS LORD SAID UNTO HIM, WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT: THOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL OVER A FEW THINGS, I WILL MAKE THEE RULER OVER MANY THINGS: ENTER THOU INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD-Mt 25:21. HIS LORD SAID UNTO HIM, WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT; THOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL OVER A FEW THINGS, I WILL MAKE THEE RULER OVER MANY THINGS: ENTER THOU INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD-Mt 25:23. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, WELL, THOU GOOD SERVANT: BECAUSE THOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL IN A VERY LITTLE, HAVE THOU AUTHORITY OVER TEN CITIES-Lk 19:17.
SEPT./11/01   What do you think?
GOD IS FAITHFULIt is written, THERE HATH NO TEMPTATION TAKEN YOU BUT SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN: BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL NOT SUFFER YOU TO BE TEMPTED ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE; BUT WILL WITH THE TEMPTATION ALSO MAKE A WAY TO ESCAPE, THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT-1 Cor 10:13.FAITHFUL IS HE THAT CALLETH YOU, WHO ALSO WILL DO IT-1 Thes 5:24. THE LORD IS FAITHFUL, WHO SHALL STABLISH YOU, AND KEEP YOU FROM EVIL-2 Thes 3:3. WHEREFORE, HOLY BRETHREN, PARTAKERS OF THE HEAVENLY CALLING, CONSIDER THE APOSTLE AND HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION, CHRIST JESUS; WHO WAS FAITHFUL TO HIM THAT APPOINTED HIM, AS ALSO MOSES WAS FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS HOUSE-Heb 3:1,2. LET US HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED)-Heb 10:23. WHEREFORE LET THEM THAT SUFFER ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD COMMIT THE KEEPING OF THEIR SOULS TO HIM IN WELL DOING, AS UNTO A FAITHFUL CREATOR-1 Pe 4:19. IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS1 Jn 1:9. AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, AND THE FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, AND THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. UNTO HIM THAT LOVED US, AND WASHED US…IN HIS OWN BLOOD-Rev 1:5. AND UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICEANS WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD-Rev 3:14. AND I SAW HEAVEN OPENED, AND BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE; AND HE THAT SAT UPON HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS HE DOTH JUDGE AND MAKE WAR-Rev 19:11.
SOME FAITHFUL PEOPLE IN THE BIBLEIt is written, FOR THIS CAUSE HAVE I SENT UNTO YOU TIMOTHEUS, WHO IS MY BELOVED SON, AND FAITHFUL IN THE LORD, WHO SHALL BRING YOU INTO REMEMBRANCE OF MY WAYS WHICH BE IN CHRIST, AS I TEACH EVERY WHERE IN EVERY CHURCH-1 Cor 4:17.Paul writes, NOW CONCERNING VIRGINS I HAVE NO COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD: YET I GIVE MY JUDGMENT, AS ONE THAT HATH OBTAINED MERCY OF THE LORD TO BE FAITHFUL-1 Cor 7:25. BUT THAT YE ALSO MAY KNOW MY AFFAIRS, AND HOW I DO, TYCHICUS, A BELOVED BROTHER AND FAITHFUL MINISTER IN THE LORD, SHALL MAKE KNOWN TO YOU ALL THINGS-Eph 6:21. AS YE ALSO LEARNED OF EPAPHRAS OUR DEAR FELLOWSERVANT, WHO IS FOR YOU A FAITHFUL MINISTER OF CHRIST-Col 1:7. ALL MY STATE SHALL TYCHICUS DECLARE UNTO YOU, WHO IS A BELOVED BROTHER, AND A FAITHFUL MINISTER AND FELLOWSERVANT IN THE LORD-Col 4:7. WITH ONESIMUS, A FAITHFUL AND BELOVED BROTHER, WHO IS ONE OF YOU. THEY SHALL MAKE KNOWN UNTO YOU ALL THINGS-Col 4:9. SO THEN THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED WITH FAITHFUL ABRAHAM-Gal 3:9. AND I THANK CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, WHO HATH ENABLED ME, FOR THAT HE COUNTED ME FAITHFUL, PUTTING ME INTO THE MINISTRY-1 Tim 1:12.
