Performance NOT Knowledge

Millions of people all over the world own Bibles and have read Bibles. Millions of people have read and know the words of Jesus Christ but most of them will end up in hell, not because they did not know the truth but because they DID NOT DO THE TRUTH.

Jesus Christ said that:”Not everyone who says to Me Lord Lord will enter into heaven but only those who DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER.” What is the will of the Father? It is that we OBEY Jesus Christ and follow Him until the end.

Many profess to BELIEVE in Jesus but they do not obey Him. Jesus also said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and you DO NOT WHAT I SAY?” Many say they LOVE Jesus but they do not obey Him. Jesus said:”If you love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”

Are YOU following Jesus Christ? Do you truly love Him? Do you OBEY His words? Not the hearers or the speakers of the words of Christ will be saved but the DOERS. It is not your knowledge that will save you but the PERFORMANCE of that knowledge.

Are you PERFORMING THE WORKS OF CHRIST?

May Jesus bless you.

God does not tolerate rebellion

God is a merciful Father, but make no mistake, God does not tolerate disobedience or sin. God does not tolerate rebellion. He is ready to punish every rebellious act and each and every sin. Every sin that you have ever done is recorded and you will be punished for those sins if you do not repent and turn to Jesus for forgiveness and then obey Him. God is a loving Father. His mercy and His grace was so much that He sent Jesus to die for us before we were even born, but if we reject His mercy and His grace then there is no more grace. There is no more mercy. If we disobey Jesus, His words, we will perish. If we go on sinning after coming to the knowledge of the truth there is no more mercy, no more grace, just the expectation of the terrible fury of God.

God does not tolerate any disobedience or rebellion. He treats us as children. Those who disobey will be punished and if they do not repent they will perish. Those who are obedient children will live in His Kingdom for ever. Do not take a chance on God. Do not rebel against God. Become an obedient child, obey Jesus and do not rebel against Him because there is only one end for rebels and that is eternal damnation.

May Jesus bless you

Should a Christian resist?

Should a Christian resist when they are treated unfairly? What should we do? Jesus Christ is our Lord and our Master and He is our King. And if we serve Him and we are part of His Kingdom then we do exactly as He told us to do because He is the King.

We read what Jesus said about resistance in Matthew 5:39-41 Jesus said: “But I say to you, DO NOT RESIST AN EVIL PERSON; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 “If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. 41 “Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.” That is what Jesus said He said we must not resist an evil man and Jesus never resisted evil either. We belong to Christ we do not belong to ourselves anymore. What do we want to resist against? We are not part of this world this is not our Kingdom the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to Christ. I don’t belong to myself anymore, I belong to Jesus Christ. I am a bond slave to Christ and I am called to obedience to Him to do His very will. I am not to protect myself. He will revenge He will look after me if He wants to. If somebody takes something of me so what, I belong to Christ. What I must do is OBEY JESUS CHRIST if He is my LORD? If I take it on myself to defend myself then I am REBELLIOUS, I must OBEY CHRIST.  See what Jesus said about when people insult and persecute us. We read in Matthew 5:11-12 “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Hallelujah thank God that I can be persecuted for Jesus Christ. Many Christians are persecuted because they are LOOKING FOR TROUBLE and because they are DISOBEDIENT TO CHRIST. A REBELIOUS man will not go into heaven. It was because of rebellion that satan was cast out of heaven. And if we are disobedient to Christ we are rebellious to Him and we will not enter His Kingdom. If we as Christians feel that we have to vindicate ourselves we need to REPENT because then we are not doing the will of the Master. The commandments of Jesus the sermon on the mount are not an option they are not a nice to have they are a INSTRUCTION for a disciple of Christ. He said why do you call Me, Lord, Lord and you do not do what I say. It is easy to avenge your self to put the fist out it is easy to say we got a right I am not going to be pushed around we got rights. We got no rights people. If we are nailed to the cross and we pick up our cross every morning every day, deny ourselves and follow Christ we obey Him. We do not vindicate ourselves and that is how we show that we are disciples of Christ it is if we obey His commandments. He said that if you love Me, you will keep My commandments and that is tuff and that is how we demonstrate our love to Christ.

We as Christians do not resist we obey Jesus Christ. He never spoke back right until they hung Him on a cross, until He died He did the will of the Father. We as His children as His followers as disciples of Christ are called to obey Jesus Christ and do what He told us to do. Then we shall be children of the Most High God.

God does not support rebellion

God puts rulers and governments into place and He removes them. A person who rebels against the government is in rebellion to God. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Those who believe in Him obey Him and also walk as He walked.

Jesus commanded not to resist and evil man. Whoever strikes you on the one cheek, offer him the other as well. Jesus commanded that we love each other as He also loved us, also that we must love our enemies and pray for them. Jesus also said that they that take up the sword will perish by the sword.

Jesus said: “Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth” Matthew 5:5.

Those who follow Jesus obey Him and trust in Him, He is their refuge. Jesus promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. If we ignore Jesus and disobey Him He will not protect us. Those who take refuge with God have none to fear. He protects them.

God’s way is the way of peace, but He only protects those who submit to Him and obey Him. There is only one way: repent of sin trust God and wait on Him. Those who have wickedness and sin in their hearts can not pray and expect God to hear and protect them.

“In repentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength.” Isaiah 30:15

Repent and seek Jesus and you will live. Rebel and you will die.
