Seeing
then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus
the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)
In
the only name given among men by which we must be saved, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,”
greetings. See Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is
preached; and in this I rejoice,
yes, and will rejoice. Philippians 1:18
(NKJV)
“Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth,
Christ is preached.” Recently I
heard something on the news channel that caused me to ask God to help me to “rejoice,”
even when Jesus’ name is used by those having turned their backs to [Biblical]
truths. I’m not going to give the
speaker’s name, because the battle is not against flesh and blood. I will say that the speaker mentioned Jesus’
name but at the same time wasn’t trying to preach the gospel.
“A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
By this all will know that you are My disciples,
if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 (NKJV)
You’re either one of Jesus’ “disciples,” which is to
say saved according to the [Scriptures], or you are not.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If
anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever
loses his life for My sake will find it. For
what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange
for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26 (NKJV)
“For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 (NKJV)
This may be hard for some to receive but it is an [absolute]
truth, “what will a man give in exchange for his soul,” we can’t save ourselves
from hells fire. “Whoever believes in” Jesus “should not
perish but have everlasting life,” which is to say [absolutely] heaven
bound.
The person looking to further their own career, [abusing] silencing
[Biblical] truths, fails to see the significance of leaning on one’s own
understanding of all things. “For
what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
The person using Jesus’ name for personal gains, is a
double minded one. The [Bible] points us
to having to believe in the centerpiece of God’s plan of salvation to be saved,
Messiah Yeshua “Jesus.” If you’re not
interested in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, be forewarned. The eternal destiny of your soul is at stake
here. I pray you choose to believe in the
[Biblical] Jesus, and continue to do so according to the [Scriptures]. Everything one needs to know about Jesus, is available
for all to see in the [Bible].
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
