New Creature

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

What does it mean to be Born Again? (John 3:3) This is a concept that a lot of Christians seem to have trouble understanding. You are not saved by your religious affiliations, you are not saved by the amount of money you put into the offering plate, and your not saved by doing community service, you are saved by faith through Jesus Christ only!

Now when you truly accept Jesus as your Lord, something begins to happen, you become Born Again. You are baptized with the Holy Spirit and the sanctification process starts to begin. This is how you become a New Creature through Christ

The old things pass away, meaning your old sinful lifestyle. No longer are you a slave to the sins that trap you like alcohol, drugs, pornography, gambling,  ect. You have put away the old and have been set free through Christ

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21

Jesus the sinless Lamb of God took the penalty for your sin! Think about this, who would die in your place? Who loves you enough to die for you? Jesus  is the answer! Become reconciled with God today and made new through Jesus Christ!

Don’t Be Deceived

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

There is a new trend in “Liberal Christianity” where denominations are accepting homosexuals as members, some denominations are even ordaining them to be pastors and bishops. Do any of these people even read the Bible? Apostle Paul clearly teaches homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God. If homosexuals are not even saved, what makes you think they can be ordained as pastors or bishops?

This is what happens when denominations and “Churches” disregard the Word of God. They make  up there own doctrine and send people straight to hell. As Paul says “Don’t Be Deceived”

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11

Now the good news (Gospel) is that we can be saved through Jesus Christ. If you Repent (Turn Away) from your sins, you can become Born Again (John 3:3) However when you become Born Again and baptized by the Holy Spirit, you don’t still remain in your sins, you change your lifestyle.

Someone who continues to live in their sin and believes they are saved is deceived!

But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” Mark 10:6-9

Here is Jesus teachings, he quotes directly from the Word of God (Genesis) First notice God makes males and females, there is no such thing as a transgender, God does not make mistakes

Second the covenant of Marriage is between a Man and a Woman that should be eternal. God made the Law of Marriage not man, therefor nobody has the authority to change it except God, which he never changes

Don’t be deceived , God will not be mocked, Repent and come to Christ, the only way to the Kingdom of God

Preach The Gospel

For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16

Look at me! I preached the gospel and thousands became saved, my name becomes well known, money comes pouring in, is this true Christianity? No but sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Like Paul said , if I truly preach the gospel do I have anything to brag about? No, because its clear I’m a wretched sinner only saved by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ. If I preach the gospel does anyone become saved because of me? Absolutely not! Only the Holy Spirit can draw the walking dead to Christ.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me. 1 Corinthians 9:17

As Paul said “Woe is us if we don’t preach the gospel” , if you know the cure to cancer would you keep it a secret? Then why would you keep the only way to Salvation a secret? Do you hate humanity that much that you rather watch them all perish into the pit?

Our marching orders are clear, preach the gospel. Whether I want to or not, I’m a slave to Christ! If anyone comes saved from my preaching Glory to God, for its only by him and through him we can become saved.

Preach the gospel at all times, you never know how the Holy Spirit will work!

Living Hope

For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1
Our Earthly Tent which is our bodies is being torn down. Everyday regardless of what you believe, our physical bodies are dying. Some of us suffer disabilities or diseases, for many our daily lives are not easy. However there is hope through Jesus Christ. When our temporary bodies pass away we will be given a Building from God which is our eternal resurrected bodies
For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. 2 Corinthians 5:2-3
Some people cling on to this world while other suffer and groan waiting for the day to be called home. To a non-believer this hope is not even understandable. As Atheist believe this world is the best life has to offer, but those reborn with Christ know this place is just temporary.
Do you long to be with your Lord? Do you long to be with your Heavenly Father? If your unsure maybe you should examine your relationship with God.
For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 2 Corinthians 5:4
How can we know this resurrection will happen? We know because Christ rose from the dead. Everything points back to the Resurrection, the fulfillment of hope, our victory in Jesus name Amen!

Is Heaven Real?

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago– whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows– such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Corinthians 12:2

The Apostle Paul gives us a testimony here , regarding a man he met who was taken up to the “3rd Heaven”. Now the first question will be what is the 3rd Heaven? And second question will be why should we believe this story?

The 3rd Heaven from a Biblical perspective is the place where God lives. The 1rst Heaven is the sky you can see above you, the Second Heaven is outer space beyond our atmosphere, and the 3rd Heaven is beyond space where God reigns.

So why should we believe that a mortal man has seen Heaven? Because the Apostle Paul is a very reliable witness. He wrote over half of the New Testament including the first Christian Creed of the death and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15) also Paul is under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. To disregard Pauls testimony here, you would have to throw out half of the New Testament.

And I know how such a man– whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows–was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. 2 Corinthians 12:3-4

Paul describes Heaven as “Paradise” which is exactly how Jesus described it to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:43) Paul doesn’t know if the man was in his physical body or in his spirit taken to Heaven but what he saw was beyond our human comprehension.

There are mysteries that won’t be revealed to us until we get to our “Fathers House” (John 14) however take comfort in knowing Heaven is Real and many people have already been there. Take comfort in knowing that death is not the end for us , as Jesus have overcome the grave Amen!
