		<description>The Christian Life is all about Changing
 

&quot;Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.&quot; —2nd Corinthians 5:17


 
The Christian life is all about changing. We should always be willing to move to the right, but never to the left. In other words, we should be willing to make improvements, but never compromise our convictions and character. 


King David asked God to reveal areas in his life that needed to change...

 
&quot;Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.&quot; —Psalm 19:12

 
David&#039;s prayer was for the Lord to help him realize his unrealized faults. I tell people that I don&#039;t have a single fault. That&#039;s right, I have MANY faults!

 
A believer who loves the Lord more than anything else desires to please the Lord (John 14:15). Many believers love sin more than the Lord, which is why they continue in sin. The Bible teaches that a Christian who refuses to confess and forsake sin in their life cannot prosper...
 
&quot;He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.&quot; —Proverb 28:13

 
Every believer needs to develop a habit of asking the Holy Spirit if there&#039;s anything that needs to change. What changes need to be made in my life? Is God pleased with me? A believer who walks with God will care, because God cares (1st Peter 5:7). 


It is the Holy Spirit of God that changes us through the Scriptures (John 17:17). As we see Jesus more and more in the Scriptures, we become like Him. One day at the Rapture, when we see our great King, we will be changed completely and given a new body (1st Corinthians 15:52). God wants to change us through His Spirit which lives in us as believers...

&quot;But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are 


changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.&quot; —2nd Corinthians 3:18



We will one day be adults in the Lord in Heaven, but for now we are called the &quot;children of God.&quot; Thankfully, by the precious blood of Jesus, we have been justified and declared faultless before God...
 
&quot;Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you 


faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy&quot; —Jude 1:24


 
God&#039;s method for changing the believer is by being nourished daily on the milk of the Word of God...

&quot;Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, 


that ye may grow thereby&quot; —1st Peter 2:1-2



The Scriptures we just read are precious, they tell us how to &quot;grow.&quot; Most people quote verse two without ever looking at verse one. We are to &quot;lay aside&quot; all of the immature criticizing, jealousy and hypocritical slandering that hinders our growth. Do you want to grow? Then your first step is to learn to &quot;shut-up.&quot; James tells us that a man&#039;s religion is in vain if he bridles not his tongue. 



&quot; God&#039;s &quot;Get Character Quick&quot; Plan &quot;

How do you get quick character? By keeping your mouth shut when your tempted to gossip, slander or tear-down another person. More churches have been destroyed by gossip than Communism. Most people never learn to control their tongue. 


It is significant that God&#039;s command to desire the milk of the Word is preceded by a command to lay aside all malice, guile, hypocrisies, envies and evil speakings. No amount of Bible reading nor Scriptural knowledge is going to benefit a believer who has no desire to live for God. 


If we want to grow in the Lord, then we must search the Scriptures (John 5:39). How many believers do you know who &quot;desire&quot; the Word of God? I don&#039;t know too many. Most professed believers withdraw from a conversation about the Bible.


 The Word of God is incredible! I love talking about the Bible and teaching God&#039;s Word to others. The truth of God&#039;s Word will change us if we want to be changed. If we draw near to God, He will draw near to us (James 4:8).

 
Every Christian should have a burning desire to become more like Jesus, our God and Savior—to love our neighbor as our self, to reach more souls with the gospel, to help more poor people, to care, to contend for the Christian faith, to stand up for God against evildoers, to do more for God, to obey the Scriptures, et cetera. 


If we care, then we will search the Scriptures and pray for God&#039;s Holy Spirit to change us more into the image of Jesus Christ. We cannot do anything by ourselves (John 15:5). We need the Spirit of Christ to live the Christian life through us...



Galatians 2:20, &quot;I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;no man cometh unto the Father, but BY Me.&quot; 
You conjecture assumes that fulfilled also means abolished the law and this prevents your mind from reconizing that Jesus&#039; life that was lost by bloodshed is an accountable sin caused by bloodshed. No one is going to ride into God&#039;s kingdom on the back of the sin of his only begotten son&#039;s murder. For the small narrow gate that his crucifixion has perfected and you must have the faith to use is by confessing directly to God that you are truly sorry Jesus&#039; life was lost by bloodshed when he was crucified. If not you will not be given the grace to escape the penalty of eternal death since not giving this confession is the disobedience of a law that was added to the law by Jesus&#039; crucfixion. 
&quot;The law was added so that the trespass[of his crucifixion] might increase.&quot;
Your argument falsely assumes that the sin of murdering a man by bloodshed to be a direct benefit for your self and is actually the psychological motive respondent to the worship of Moloch. No one is freed from serving the penalty of eternal death just by sacrificing a man in his place, but psycopaths do this all the time and then justify themselves when caught. What! do you apporove of what they do Tommy?</description>

		<description>New life in Jesus
 “While we were yet sinners, Jesus, the most holy one from above died in place of us, to redeem us, paying the price of our sins which is death (wages of sin is death).
He is risen and is made the Lord and judge – faith in Him and obeying his Word alone can save you, for, no other name is given under the sun except of Jesus of Nazareth, by which one can be saved.
Good works would necessarily accompany a true believer (faith without good works is dead). Good works (Mt. 25) without faith cannot save you because even sinners do good works sometimes. “We are all sinners, (God alone is holy), and we are devoid of the grace to be saved by good works alone. All human beings are sinners and under the curse of death. (Even saints sin seven times a day...).
A sinner may die (sacrifice one’s life) for another man – a sinner. This act cannot save anyone of them because, both are sinners and incapable of salvation (union with God). Only a perfect (sinless) man can pay the retribution for another. And so, Jesus the most holy person (God himself incarnated in the person of Jesus) paid the price of sins by dying for all the sinners on the cross (most shameful death, which would have been our death). By his glorious rising from death, he became the saviour (designated by God) of all those who believe in him. ‘He overcame death which is our death; ‘ for, death has no more power on him anymore’.  He gives this promise of life to all who believe in him. (If you don’t believe in this redemption, you are still a slave to sin and death). Is it too difficult to understand?
New life in Jesus simply means a life above the laws and commandments (Jesus has fulfilled all laws and commandments of the Old Testament. The new law has come i.e. ‘love your enemies and do good to those who hate you’; ‘go the second mile with the one who asks for the first mile’…
Jesus did not appoint any representative for him on earth; instead he invited care takers, elders, teachers, and preachers of his message. There is no more priests (we have only one high priest who is from the most holy God), no more sacrifices, no more rituals, no ceremonies, no other mediators, no magical formulas, no institutions, no structures, no authority, no powers – that would save you!
God has clearly revealed His plan of salvation in the person of Jesus, no secrets about it and no one should make it obscure. May God give you the grace of freedom to get out of the man-made shackles during this New Year...let not the time run short.
The Bible specifically says, without any other possible interpretation, that there is only one God, one faith, one baptism, and one way to God the Father – and that is only through His Son Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross. Jesus says that He, and only He, is the way, the truth, and the life leading to God the Father and that no one comes to the Father except through Him!

		<description>Why is baptism in water a requirement in the process of becoming born again of God?
There are many religious proposals asserting that if they are believed and followed the result is a union with God, a god or many gods, which are supposedly unseen beings of supernatural power.
&quot;No man hath seen God at any time.&quot; The main claim the Bible makes is that the god it describes as God is the only Living God. And it is only this God who has supernatural power for no other gods have any power whatsoever. &quot;There are no other gods besides Me and you shall not have any other gods beside Me.&quot; Period. But devious sinful mankind, who is practically unalterably wicked because of being a natural descendent of Adam, has the devious idea that the Living God did not mean exactly what he said. And no matter what form God presents himself in, unseen, manifested in the flesh and even in one Word, devious wicked mankind always erroneously thinks he has the best ideas regardless of what the Living God says. There is nothing of greater contrast, absurdity and oxymoronic than this one term, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN, to the naturally born human. Because the naturally born erroneously thinks he is a child of God, but the actual truth about him is &quot;Ye are the children of your father the Devil&quot; which is the curse of natural birth to both the Jew and Gentile alike.
There are two things we all know from the Bible. But regardless of whether one accepts these things as being true it does not change these facts into not being true. The man, titled as the Lord Jesus Christ in the Bible, is God manifested in the flesh. The man, titled as the only Begotten Son of the Living God, has perfected the only Way any child of the Devil by natural birth can escape from that curse by his crucifixion. However the naturally born must have the faith to use, put into physical human practice, exactly what the Lord thy God says through the apostles to become redeemed from the curse of your physical natural birth. This has only produced another child of the Devil.
In all of your cases there are actually four things you must have the faith to do in order to be redeemed from the curse of your natural birth. 
1. Lay aside every contemporary explanation of salvation which you have read, heard from any contemporary church&#039;s pulpit. The salvation doctrines of all theologians and whomever they have taught, and whoever positively pontificates in any form that what theologians teach about the Lord&#039;s Way of salvation is not falsehood. For their doctrines of salvation are specifically designed to keep you out of God&#039;s kingdom and t
2. If you get over that hurdle, which I doubt many of you will, it is necessary to test what I teach. In other words you will have the faith to try what I teach to prove or disprove what I teach. If any of you sincerely obey my gospel one or more of the spiritual gifts listed by the apostles will be physically manifested in you proving what I teach is actually true. But the required confession must be your honest conviction or it is a lie.
3. Hurdle three. Where the rubber meets the road and what every theologian and contemporary preacher hotly contests and must contest. But if you continue to believe what they contest and pontificate there is no hope of you escaping the curse of your natural birth. None. For this is the actual key you must have the faith to hope, trust in, and in sincerity use to escape from the consequence of your natural birth. For there is absolutely no other way of escaping the curse of natural birth and the curse of the law. For by Jesus&#039; crucifixion a law has been added to the law. And you must have the faith to obey this law exactly as you have been commanded by the Lord thy God given through the apostles. Or willfully disobey a law of God which is not forgivable. Which is what Jesus meant by saying “they are now being forced in” by the law added to the law by and after his crucifixion? 
4. Hurdle four. Recanting your former ways of salvation and be baptized into the new testimony about Jesus&#039; bloodshed. For without the shedding of His blood there is no remission of sin&#039;s penalty for any of the naturally born. But understand me clearly. The crucifixion of Jesus&#039; has only perfected the Way you might escape from the curse of your natural birth and the law&#039;s penalty. But to escape both you must by faith, sight unseen, obey an actual law that has been entered into the law as an act of righteousness. That if correctly obeyed by any naturally born individual God will declare him righteous as he promises. 
&quot;It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God&#039;s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.&quot;Rom. 2:13
The only Way this law, the Law of the Spirit, can be obeyed is by making this confession directly to God sincerely meaning it in your heart and be baptized in water to receive the promise. 
&quot;Oh God I am so truly and sincerely sorry your only begotten son Jesus&#039; lost his life by bloodshed when he was crucified.&quot; There is no other way to escape. 
&quot;I am not ashamed: for
I know whom I have
believed, and am 
persuaded that he is
able to keep
that confession
which I have committed
unto Him against
that day.

But devious sinful mankind, who is practically unalterably wicked because of being a natural descendent of Adam, has the devious idea that the Living God did not mean exactly what he said. And no matter what form God presents himself in, unseen, manifested in the flesh and even in one Word, devious wicked mankind always erroneously thinks he has the best ideas regardless of what the Living God says. There is nothing of greater contrast, absurdity and oxymoronic than this one term, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN, to the naturally born human. Because the naturally born erroneously thinks he is a child of God, but the actual truth about him is &#8220;Ye are the children of your father the Devil&#8221; which is the curse of natural birth to both the Jew and Gentile alike.<br />
There are two things we all know from the Bible. But regardless of whether one accepts these things as being true it does not change these facts into not being true. The man, titled as the Lord Jesus Christ in the Bible, is God manifested in the flesh. The man, titled as the only Begotten Son of the Living God, has perfected the only Way any child of the Devil by natural birth can escape from that curse by his crucifixion. However the naturally born must have the faith to use, put into physical human practice, exactly what the Lord thy God says through the apostles to become redeemed from the curse of your physical natural birth. This has only produced another child of the Devil.<br />
In all of your cases there are actually four things you must have the faith to do in order to be redeemed from the curse of your natural birth.<br />
1. Lay aside every contemporary explanation of salvation which you have read, heard from any contemporary church&#8217;s pulpit. The salvation doctrines of all theologians and whomever they have taught, and whoever positively pontificates in any form that what theologians teach about the Lord&#8217;s Way of salvation is not falsehood. For their doctrines of salvation are specifically designed to keep you out of God&#8217;s kingdom and t<br />
2. If you get over that hurdle, which I doubt many of you will, it is necessary to test what I teach. In other words you will have the faith to try what I teach to prove or disprove what I teach. If any of you sincerely obey my gospel one or more of the spiritual gifts listed by the apostles will be physically manifested in you proving what I teach is actually true. But the required confession must be your honest conviction or it is a lie.<br />
3. Hurdle three. Where the rubber meets the road and what every theologian and contemporary preacher hotly contests and must contest. But if you continue to believe what they contest and pontificate there is no hope of you escaping the curse of your natural birth. None. For this is the actual key you must have the faith to hope, trust in, and in sincerity use to escape from the consequence of your natural birth. For there is absolutely no other way of escaping the curse of natural birth and the curse of the law. For by Jesus&#8217; crucifixion a law has been added to the law. And you must have the faith to obey this law exactly as you have been commanded by the Lord thy God given through the apostles. Or willfully disobey a law of God which is not forgivable. Which is what Jesus meant by saying “they are now being forced in” by the law added to the law by and after his crucifixion?<br />
4. Hurdle four. Recanting your former ways of salvation and be baptized into the new testimony about Jesus&#8217; bloodshed. For without the shedding of His blood there is no remission of sin&#8217;s penalty for any of the naturally born. But understand me clearly. The crucifixion of Jesus&#8217; has only perfected the Way you might escape from the curse of your natural birth and the law&#8217;s penalty. But to escape both you must by faith, sight unseen, obey an actual law that has been entered into the law as an act of righteousness. That if correctly obeyed by any naturally born individual God will declare him righteous as he promises.<br />
&#8220;It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God&#8217;s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.&#8221;Rom. 2:13<br />
The only Way this law, the Law of the Spirit, can be obeyed is by making this confession directly to God sincerely meaning it in your heart and be baptized in water to receive the promise.<br />
&#8220;Oh God I am so truly and sincerely sorry your only begotten son Jesus&#8217; lost his life by bloodshed when he was crucified.&#8221; There is no other way to escape.<br />
&#8220;I am not ashamed: for<br />
I know whom I have<br />
believed, and am<br />
persuaded that he is<br />
able to keep<br />
that confession<br />
which I have committed<br />
unto Him against<br />
that day.<br />
