Strive for PERFECTION

We have to strive for perfection in our walk with the Lord Jesus Christ, our relationship with Him. We must do everything in our power to make sure that nothing comes between us and Jesus. Jesus warned, He said:”Narrow is the Door and straight is the Gate that leads to life and FEW there be that find it. Many will try hard and not be able.” Jesus also said:”Be perfect as your father in heaven is PERFECT.”

In a marathon even some of the best athletes might stumble, fall and get disqualified. Therefor we must make sure that we run the race in such a way that we do not get disqualified and lose the prize. We cannot make it on our own. We cannot make it on our own interpretation of the Bible or our own zeal, or our own mind. We need Jesus, we need the Holy Spirit to help us, to guide us, every step of the way. Without Jesus we can do nothing.

We need to strive for perfection in our relationship with our Lord and Master. We need to ASK Him, SEEK Him, WAIT ON Him and He will guide us every step of the way. He is faithful, He will never leave us, nor forsake us but we have to be faithful in our walk with Him. We must strive for perfection.

May Jesus bless you.

A Perfect Relationship

Jesus Christ offers us the most perfect eternal relationship and He offers us eternal life IF we FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him. He will never leave us, He will never forsake us. He will supply in all our needs. He will guide us, He will teach us and He will be with us for eternity but we have to OBEY and FOLLOW Him every day.

How will we escape His wrath if we reject such a wonderful salvation?

May Jesus bless you.

BE Perfect BE Holy BE Righteous

To BE perfect, to BE holy, to BE righteous, to BE baptized in water are requirements for entry into the kingdom of Heaven. If you want eternal life you HAVE to OBEY Jesus Christ. You HAVE TO obey His words. You HAVE TO deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ EVERY DAY.

It is NOT OPTIONAL it is a COMMAND.

Jesus commanded us to BE HOLY. To be holy means to separate yourself UNTO GOD, to KEEP yourself UNSTAINED from the world, to stay away from sin and unrighteousness. That is what Jesus requires of us IF we want eternal life.

When asked whether only few are being saved Jesus Christ answered:”Straight is the gate and narrow is the door that leads to eternal life and FEW there be that find it. Strive HARD because many, I tell you, will try very hard and not be able.”(Luke 13:23)

Are YOU perfect, holy, righteous, obedient to Jesus Christ and striving hard to enter the narrow door? Because FEW will find it.

May Jesus bless you.

Who is your father?

Like father, like son. A child follows in the footsteps of his father. He imitates his father in everything. Jesus Christ is the image of God the Father and He came to show us how God is. Jesus came to show us how we should be.
Jesus said:”Be ye perfect like your Father in heaven in perfect.” and He showed us HOW to be perfect, If we follow Jesus Christ and we are children of God, then we will be like Jesus! We will want to be like our Father, PERFECT!
Are we following the example of Jesus Christ? Are we LIKE OUR FATHER? WHO is our father? From our behavior people can see who our father is. Who is YOUR father and mine? Who are we like?
Do we have the likeness of Jesus and of God, or are we like satan? Who is our father, God or the devil?
Who is YOUR father and who is mine?

May Jesus bless you.

God's discipline is SEVERE

God is kind and merciful to those who repent from their wicked ways and who come to Him with a serious heart, with a contrite heart, who stop sinning and who obey Him, but He is severe on those who reject Him who disregard Him and who continue in their wickedness.

The words of Jesus, the words of life, are exact and if we want eternal life we must obey Him. By His mercy and His grace He forgives our past sin IF we truly repent. He promises us eternal life IF we obey Him, but if we disregard Him and we reject His words HIS JUDGMENT ON US IS SEVERE. The discipline of God is severe on those whom He accepts as children. He scourges every son that He accepts, He does not work lightly with His children. He does not spoil them. He treats them harshly so that they can learn His ways.

Jesus Christ, even though He was a son learned obedience through what He suffered. If you follow Jesus Christ and become a child of God you will suffer according to the flesh because those who have suffered according to the flesh have ceased from sinning. Jesus will not spoil you, He will work harshly with you when you sin because He wants you to share in His holiness. If you reject His discipline He will deal severely with you, harshly, you will END UP IN HELL.

Consider the mercy of God, that He accepts a sinner, an undeserving sinner who repents. He gives them grace and mercy but if they go back to sin and if they disobey Him He is severe and harsh and they will perish. God is not mocked. If you are a child of God you obey God. God is not a respecter of persons, He has one standard of obedience and holiness. If you are a child of God, you OBEY GOD, YOU DO NOT SIN. You live in UTTER HOLINESS and obedience to Him. His discipline is severe on those who are His children. He does not accept ANY DEVIATION. It is GOD'S WAY or it is NO WAY.

Are you following Jesus on the narrow way or are you disregarding Him because YOU WILL PERISH. There is only one way to be pleasing to God and that is through utter OBEDIENCE, UTTER DEDICATION. You GO where He sends you and you DO what He tells you or else YOU ARE NONE OF HIM.

May Jesus bless you.

Why I do not sin

I am not a good person and I have done many evil things in my life even after I first met Jesus, but since I have come to know Jesus better I know that He does not tolerate any disobedience or any sin. The road that you are on determines where you will end up.

If we are on the wide road to destruction, that is where we will end up. But if we want to have eternal life and spend eternity with Jesus then we must now already start spending our life with and for Jesus.

I DO NOT SIN. My mind is always on Jesus and I am always seeking to please Him because I know that that is the only road that leads to life. It is not because I am good. It is because I know Jesus. I love Him, I fear Him and I obey Him. That is my choice. I do not want to go back on the broad road to destruction.

Jesus does not reveal Himself to you if you live in sin. You have to be pure and holy, and then He will speak to you. He will guide you. You will enjoy His companionship, His fellowship and His presence, but the moment you sin, that sin comes between you and Jesus and if you do not repent you will perish if you should die at that moment.

It was for ONE SIN that Adam died. God has not changed. Jesus said:”Be ye perfect like your Father in heaven is perfect.” He requires a PERFECT relationship with us. If you follow Jesus, you DO NOT SIN. King David said:”I have kept Thy words in my heart that I will not sin against Thee.”Psalm 119:11.

Jesus lives in my heart and I WILL NOT SIN against Him.

May Jesus bless you
