Love Worketh No Ill
Hello and thank you for being here. Welcome all new members. I would like to say a special welcome to all the readers from Russia; there are a lot of you.
Today I want to show you the embodiment of something that I teach on and people never seem to catch on to it. That is, we are not Jews nor are we under the law. Jesus Christ was a Minister to the circumcision, confirming the promises made to the fathers (Israel). Those are the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and a portion of Acts. These people in those books were certainly under the law. But then Christ was crucified. There is no indication Jesus ever told them, the Apostles nor the people (Jews) that when he died, He died for man's sins. Yet, most churches base their doctrine on these books.
Instead, after the Ascension, Christ called another Apostle and called him from Glory after He (Christ) had left the Earth, and sent him (Paul) to preach the message to Gentiles (us) who were outside the covenants of promise, with no hope and without God in the world.
Paul first went to the Jews then after a while they rejected the grace message and then Paul turned to the Gentiles entirely. He taught and had a problem with Jews coming in behind him into his established churches and persuading the new converts to go back under the law, as in the Book of Galatians. Not only that but Paul instructed Timothy to "hold fast the form of sound words thou has heard of me." Which are the Books Paul wrote. Paul received these revelations directly from the Lord, he didn't learn them of men.
Why do people not see Grace and the Law are 2 different things?
Look with me in the Book of Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not for filthy lucre's sake. 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
There you have it, the Blessed Hope is the rapture and I believe the Glorious appearing is either when the Lord comes for us or when He shows us off to the World if not the entire universe.
If your Pastor or Priest or whatever is teaching you salvation through works under the law in the Books of Matt., Mark, Luke and John, then he doesn't love you. Why? Because he is setting his or her denomination in direct contradiction to the Word of God rightly divided. If you go to hell I don't think you will look back on that person with love. I am showing you today that all your sins are not your problem, unbelief is your problem. Christ died on a cross for you and called an Apostle to teach you salvation by grace through faith and you still go back to those churches when they speak the opposite. How can they say they love you?
I LOVE you! I want you to know that if you will read 1Corinthians 15:3 and believe it, you will be saved, plus or minus nothing.
The choice is yours. I pray you will make the right one.
Paul wrote 13 books, why don't you study them. It will build up your faith and you will be rewarded for doing good works--after you get saved.
Amen
