Who
is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of
God? 1 John 5:5 (NKJV)
In
the name of He who said, ‘And when he is won, you make him twice as much a son
of hell as yourselves,’ Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. See Matthew 23:15 (NKJV)
As soon as it was day, the elders
of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into
their council, saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them,
“If I tell you, you will by no means believe. And if I also ask you, you will
by no means answer Me or let Me go. Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the
right hand of the power of God.” Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You righty say that I am.” And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For
we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.” Luke 22:66-71 (NKJV)
While listening to the local “Christian” radio station I
heard, “The bible is to ultimately introduce us to Jesus.” I agree with the speaker on this point. The [Biblical] Jesus is the centerpiece of
God’s plan of salvation. Any attempt to
introduce the Anthanasian Creeds [false] brand of salvation, which leads to one
having to accept additions made to what Jesus accomplished in the first century
to be saved, is an act of heresy.
Everything one needs to know about the [Biblical] Jesus, is available
for all to see in the [Bible].
“So” Jesus “said to them,
You righty say that I am.” And they
said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves
from His own mouth.” Jesus is, “the
Son of God.”
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the
Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15 (NKJV)
The [Scriptures] themselves, point to Jesus. Just as Jesus is the centerpiece of God’s
plan of salvation, He must be the focus of our daily life as well.
“For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may
do them good; but Me you do not have always.”
Mark 14:7 (NKJV)
“For it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Luke 18:25 (NKJV)
Here we “have the poor” that Jesus spoke of in Mark
14:7 and “a rich man” in Luke 18:25, converging at the cross. It doesn’t matter how much money they possess,
or desire to have for that matter, one thing holds true. They must choose to [believe in] accept what
Jesus accomplished in the first century, in order for them to be saved according
to the [Scriptures]. Just as it was back
then, it is for all the people of the world today. What will your life say about you when you
get there?
I chose to use “the poor” and “a rich man” as
an example but we will all have to ultimately encounter the cross at one time
or another, in our life.
If your goal is to change the world for the better, stick to
the gospel message as laid out for us in the [Bible]. If it’s to teach the [Biblical] Jesus
according to the [Scriptures], stay clear of the Anthanasian Creed. Nothing has caused more people to turn from
[Biblical] truths to false teachings, than the Anthanasian Creed.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
