282: Will of God.
Jesus
Christ is the author and finisher of your faith. Not by the blood of bulls or goats, but eternal
life, promised by the sanctification of Jesus through his blood, burial and
resurrection. Three days is all it took
and the dead works of religion is destroyed.
A promise of eternal inheritance
offered by Jesus Christ. A promise made
to those that obey him and do the will of God.
Hebrews
5:5,8-9 – So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but
he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee. Though he were a Son, yet learned he
obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became
the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews
9:11-15 – But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a
greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not
of this building; Neither by the blood
of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy
place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and
the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of
the flesh: How much more shall the blood
of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the
new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the
promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews
10:36 – For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.
God does not
want you to worship his word. He wants
you to live his word.
James
1:22-23,27 – But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves. For if any be a hearer of
the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a
glass: Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their
affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Thus, this
is the will of God. That you believe in
Jesus, love God, glorify God, abide by his word, love your neighbor, spread his
word and enjoy the gift of everlasting life.
The will of God starts by loving God from the heart and a study of the
scriptures.
John 14:23
– Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love
me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with him.
John
8:31-32,47,51 – Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples
indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free. He that
is of God heareth God’s words: … Verily,
verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
Matthew
22:14,29,37-39 – For many are called, but few are
chosen. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of
God. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
Proverbs
23:12 – Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of
knowledge.
Jesus is
the Word. He came to save the lost. You must choose Jesus Christ to enter into
the kingdom of God. You must believe as
a child. Humble yourself, believe and
purify your heart.
Matthew
18:3,11 – And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye
be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Matthew
23:11-12 –
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever
shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted.
James
4:4,6-8,10 – Ye adulterers and
adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. But he
giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth
grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and he shall lift you up.
When you
believe on Jesus, you believe on his doctrine and you follow him. Worship God on spirit and truth.
John 4:24
– God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 10:27,28-
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me: And I give unto them eternal life;
Luke 6:49 – But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man
that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the
stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house
was great.
Matthew
12:36,50 – But I say unto you, That every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment. For whosoever shall do the
will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother.
When you believe on Jesus, you repent of your sins and
turn your life to God. You are born
again as a new creature by living a righteous life and avoiding sin. Willing to share the Word of God. Not all will receive you.
Titus 2:1-2,6,8,10-13 – But speak thou the things which
become sound doctrine: That the aged men
be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. Young men likewise exhort to be sober
minded. Sound speech, that cannot be
condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil
thing to say of you. Not purloining, but
shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour
in all things. For the grace of God that
bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly,
in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Luke
13:3,24 – I tell you,
Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for
many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
John 3:3 –
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.
John 9:31
– Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if
any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
1 Peter
4:2- That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God.
Luke
16:13 – No servant can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mark
7:13,16,20-23 – Making the
word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and
many such like things do ye. If any man
have ears to hear, let him hear. And he
said, That which
cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these
evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Luke
12:8 – Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall
the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Matthew
28:18-20 – And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and
in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
Luke 9:5
– And
whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very
dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
1 Peter
2:15 – For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence
the ignorance of foolish men:
Jesus
remembers your work here on earth!
1 John
2:17 – And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.
Luke
23:42-43 – And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou
be with me in paradise.
To God
be the glory in all you do, Amen.leo.
