BIBLE VERSES ABOUT BELIEVING IN JESUS

 

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John 3:15-18 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

HOW TO BE SAVED

SIN
Sin is a transgression against God’s Holy Law an act of rebellion against Him.
 
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law
1 John 3:4
 
Sin is knowing what is right and not doing it.
 
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin James 4:17
 
Adam’s sin brought condemnation to all men.
 
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned Romans 5:12
 
The effects of sin are guilt, enslavement, spiritual bondage and separation from God and its punishment is eternal death.
 
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord Romans 6:23
 
Sin has a high price, sin is deception, the most vicious kind of deception is to get to the end of your life and to discover the thing you believe in to be the absolute truth was an absolute lie. Sin is not what we say it is, or what you think it is, sin is what God's word says it is.
 
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us 1 John 1:8,10
 
 
JUDGEMENT
Judgement every man and woman who dies will stand before God in judgement.
 
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment Hebrews 9:27
 
Everything you hold dear to you is going to be torn from your hands by death. Whether we like it or not, we are all part of the ultimate statistic: Ten out of ten die. Death happens because we have sinned and violated the moral laws of God the Ten Commandments.
 
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
 
Have you ever lied, (even once, white lies etc.)?
 
Ever stolen (anything regardless of its value)?
 
Jesus said, “but I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Have you ever looked with lust?
 
If you said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we've only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. That's how God sees you. Nothing is hidden from His holy eyes.
 
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil Ecclesiastes 12:14
 
Will you be innocent or guilty on the day of judgement? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in God’s eternal prison a place called hell.
That's not God's will.
 
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death Revelation 21:8
 
 
REPENTANCE
The goodness of God leads us to repentance.
 
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Romans 2:4
 
To repent is to be sorry for who you are and what you are, change your mind from unbelief to belief in Jesus Christ, from rejection of Jesus Christ to the faith in Jesus Christ, to recognize that He is indeed "Lord and Saviour”. The Prophets, Apostles and even our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ called for repentance.
 
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish Luke 13:3
 
SALVATION
However, the Holy Bible says God is rich in mercy, and in His great kindness, He provided a Saviour, Jesus took the punishment for the sin of the world. He died on the cross, so that we could be forgiven, then He rose from the dead and defeated death.
 
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
 
To receive everlasting life as a free gift, believe, and trust in the lord Jesus Christ alone.
 
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Romans 10:9-10
 
The sacrifice made through His precious blood shed on the cross through His death, burial, and resurrection.
 
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him Romans 5:8-9
 
God will forgive your sins and you will pass from death unto life.
 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life John 5:24
 
God will give you a new nature, Born Again filled with the Holy Spirit.
 
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God John 3:3
 
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new 2 Corinthians 5:17
 
Eternal life is a free gift. You can’t earn it by doing anything.
 
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast Ephesians 2:8-9
 
Pray, read the Holy Bible daily being led by the Holy Spirit and ask God to help you obey what you read.
 
Blessings in Christ,

WHAT IS THE REAL REASON FOR CHRISTMAS?

 

Throughout the world, many people celebrate Christmas, and are even carried away on the commercial side of Christmas, spending excessively on many things. Do you know the real reason for Christmas? As we draw closer to Christmas, many of you have your minds on loved ones, buying gifts, decors, parties, food, clothes, etc. Is your mind on God? Is your mind on Jesus? Are you thankful for the gift of Jesus? We should not forget the reason why Jesus Christ was born; the name Jesus means ‘God saves’ and that is what He came to do to save humanity from sin, from the wrath of God, and offer the free gift of salvation which is the greatest gift of all, eternal life! We use Christmas as a time to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and give thanks to God for giving His only begotten Son and the love, hope, joy and peace found in Jesus.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 

There are many prophecies concerning the birth of the Lord Jesus throughout the Old Testament that were and are being fulfilled in the New Testament.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11

The prophet Isaiah prophecies the birth of Christ through a virgin and promise of His coming, which was fulfilled in the New Testament.

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23 

None of us deserve the free gift of salvation, yet God gives it freely because of His great love for us. How do we receive the free gift of salvation? We have to realize that we all deserve to go to hell. We have to consider that we are sinners, someone who is not worthy and has broken the Ten Commandments, God’s moral laws. Please examine yourselves in the light of God’s word.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3

Thou shalt have no other gods before me: People commit idolatry when they create a god in their minds to suit themselves.

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:15 

Thou shalt not covet: Excessive wantonness to want what others have is covetous.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Proverbs 19:5 

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour: If you lie, that makes you a liar.

Thou shalt not steal. Exodus 20:15 

Thou shalt not steal: If you’ve taken anything that does not belong to you, you’re a thief.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Exodus 20:7 

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: If you’ve used God’s name in vain, you’re a blasphemer.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15 

Thou shalt not kill: If you hate someone, you’re a murderer at heart.

We have only looked at six of the Ten Commandments. If you’ve answered yes to any of these, then by your own admission you’re a lying, thieving, covetous, blasphemer, murderer, and an idolater at heart. That’s how God sees you nothing is hid from His eyes. God is holy, just, righteous and will even judge our thoughts, words and deeds. This how serious is sin to God. If you violated any of God’s laws, you will be guilty on Judgement Day. The penalty of sin is death, and you will end up in a terrible place called Hell.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31 

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 

Good news: God has made a way through His only begotten Son, Jesus (John 14:6), to escape this eternal damnation of Hell. The only way you can receive the free gift of salvation is to believe, repent from unbelief to belief in Jesus Christ, be sorry for who you are and what you are, and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Saviour and the work He did on the cross of Calvary through His death and burial and resurrection. His precious blood will cleanse you from sin, and you will be born again, filled with the Holy Spirit with a new heart and desire to do what’s righteous and pass from death unto life, Heaven. Please read the Holy Bible daily and ask God to help you obey what you read.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:8-9 

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12 

This Christmas, we pray that you remember what Jesus did for us and may appreciate the greatest gift of all Salvation through the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORD’S, Jesus Christ our Saviour!

May you have a blessed Christmas.

David & Gay

HOW CAN WE TELL A FALSE TEACHER?

 

The Bible has a lot to say about false teachers. It was a serious problem in the early church and still is up to this present day. False teachers will deviate, add, or take away from the word of God. False teaching is dangerous, deceptive and leads people away from God instead of toward Him. The Lord Jesus Christ warned against false teachers (Matthew7:15-23, Mark 13:5,6) The apostle Peter discusses in detail the danger and destructiveness of the evil ministry of false teachers whose interest are not in God, but in self- glorification and worldly lusts (2 Peter 2). John the apostle warns the believers not to be deceived by the false doctrines being spread and encourages Christians to beware of that spirit of antichrist, and to test the spirits to see whether they are from God or not (1 John 4:1-3). Jude warns believers need to beware of false teachers infiltrating the churches (Jude). Paul the apostle instructs Titus to rebuke false teachers (Titus 1:10-16), and predicts the coming of false teachers (1 Timothy 4:1-3).

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Mark 13:5,6 

False teachers hold their follower’s captive with a false gospel adding works to the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who teach faith and works to be saved, deny the truth of God’s word, that salvation is a free gift of grace, wholly dependent on faith in Jesus Christ alone. As Paul the apostle says in the Book of Galatians if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:6-9 

Satan transforms himself and his ministers into an angels of light, false teachers, masquerade as servants of righteousness, in many organized religions, the isms of the world following their leaders like Mormonism, Catholicism, Islamism, Seventh day Adventism, Judaism etc these systems are counterfeit, with many deceitful workers preaching another gospel, faith and works based, to be saved instead of believing and putting their faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone and the finished work of the cross of Calvary. There are many religions that claim to know and believe in Jesus, but that does not mean they’re referring to the same Jesus of the Bible. Example: Mormonism believes that Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer; Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel; Muslims believe that Jesus is just a prophet; and Bahais believe that Jesus is a messenger, these are certainly not the Jesus of the Holy Bible.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 

Sometimes it is difficult to recognize a false teacher and the most effective way to defend the truth of God against false teachers is to be led by the Holy Spirit (John14:26, Romans 8:14) and carefully examine what they say to see if it is in line with God’s word, just like the Bereans did in Acts 17. We can also identify false teachers by reading and studying the word of God, the Holy Bible.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 

Tragically, many are misled and deceived about the most important issue of their lives: their eternal destination (Heaven or Hell). Please do not be carried away by false teachers, who preach lies, false doctrine, craftiness, deceit and pervert the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible, must be the only standard to examine yourself and others by. You need to be born again, get out of that system, believe, repent and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you through His precious blood that will cleanse you from all sin. There is no other route to eternal life, there is only one way and Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 

Blessings in Christ.

FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

 
There are nine fruits of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Bible-believing, born-again Christian. When we yield and are led of the Holy Spirit then these fruits are displayed and pleasing in God’s sight.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 

Love – We cannot produce the type of love God desires without the leading and strength of the Holy Spirit. This love is God’s love working in us and through us.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
1 John 4:10,11 

Joy - Our greatest reason to be joyful is that God has saved us, and we will spend eternity with Him in heaven, which is the result of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in and love the Lord Jesus; despite not having seen Him physically, we live by faith (Romans 1:17). We rejoice that our names are written in the Book of Life (Revelation 21:27).

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1Peter 1:8,9 

Peace - We have peace with God because we have already been forgiven of all sins and justified by faith, as if we’ve never sinned. This is only possible through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5:1 

Longsuffering - God continually forbears with us, and by His grace, we should demonstrate the love of God with longsuffering and forbearance to one another, especially to brothers and sisters in Christ.

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ephesians 4:2 

Gentleness - Reflects the character of God, who is kind, compassionate, and gracious towards us. The Lord Jesus gave us the perfect picture of gentleness.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11 

Goodness - Only God is good! When we are led by the Holy Spirit, His goodness, righteousness, and truth are displayed. 

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Ephesians 5:9 

Faithfulness - God Himself is totally faithful. He is faithful to keep the promises He has made. 

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23 

Meekness - Describes how we are to humble and rely on God rather than ourselves or the people that surround us.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 

Temperance – The ability to have self-control to overcome temptation of sin not in our own strength but through the Holy Spirit.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 

The Bible makes it very clear that the believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise the moment they believe, repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Lord and Saviour through His death, burial, resurrection, and His precious blood shed on the cross to save us from all sin.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:13 

Blessings in Christ,

THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT

 

As we enter the Christmas season, when many people are focused on giving and receiving gifts, we would like to tell you about the most precious gift anyone could ever receive because of its eternal value. The Bible says a virgin shall be with child, and He shall be called Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 

What does this really mean? Are we not good people? Do we really need someone to save us from our sins? To clearly understand what Christmas is about, we must try to look at ourselves the way God sees us, and the way we do that is examine ourselves by His Laws (Ten Commandments).

Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything, regardless of its value? Have you ever used God's name in vain (as a cuss word)? Have you ever hated someone? Have you ever looked at someone with lust?

If you tell a lie, that makes you a liar (Revelation 21:8). If you've stolen anything, regardless of its value, that makes you a thief (Exodus 20:15). If you've used God's name in vain, you're a blasphemer (Exodus 20:7). If you hate someone, you're a murderer at heart (1 John 3:15). If you've looked at a person with lust, you're committing adultery in your heart (Matthew 5:27,28).

If you've answered yes to these five questions, by your own admission, you're a liar, thief, blasphemer, murderer, and adulterer at heart. We've only looked at five of the Ten Commandments; that's how God sees you; nothing is hidden from His holy eyes.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:14

If God judges you by His standard, will you be innocent or guilty of breaking His laws (Ten Commandments)? Many people will admit to being guilty, but they may believe that God is good, that He forgives, and that He will overlook their sins. God is good, and because He is good, He will give a righteous judgment, or else He will be a corrupt judge.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 

You and I will be guilty when we stand before God, but God did something wonderful for us so that we wouldn’t have to go to hell. Do you know what that was? He sent His Son, Jesus Christ born of a virgin, perfect and sinless, to die for the payment of our sins on the cross, buried then He rose on the third day and defeated sin and death so that we could have everlasting life.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 

That’s why Jesus Christ was born—"to save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21) and suffer punishment in your place. God’s word says that if you believe, repent, put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the only one who can save you, then God will forgive you because Jesus precious blood shed on the cross is more than enough to cleanse you from all of your sins.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:7 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7 

Please don’t refuse this heavenly free gift of salvation from God, which is available to anyone: a love story written in blood on the cross over 2000 years ago. All glory to God for His incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Those who receive this incredible gift of salvation through God’s love, mercy, and grace will never suffer the eternal punishment in hell that they deserved.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 

May you find the true meaning of Christmas because it always begins with Christ.

Merry Christmas!

Blessings in Christ,

David & Gay

THE DECEPTION OF MORMONISM

 

 1.Christian belief of the word God

We use the word God, we mean the Creator of the universe, the one who manifest Himself to Moses on Mount Sinai, the God of Israel. There is only one Creator. There are lots of gods with small g, handmade gods, gods that are made up in the minds of people, but there is only one Creator, the one in whom dwells eternal life God Almighty. There’s always only been one God and always will be one God.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Isaiah 46:9

Mormon belief of the word God

The god that they follow and serve is one of countless gods. Who began as a mortal man on another planet, and became god through learning and obedience he was given this planet to rule, who is Elohim. Mormons believe that they too can become a god like him and be given their own planet to rule over.

2.Christian belief of the Gospel

The gospel is Christ died for our sins and rose again three days later according to the scriptures. The word gospel means “good news”. A preacher of the gospel preaches the gospel with the law of God to show what sin is, so we see a need of the Saviour. The gospel is Christ died for our sins and defeated sin and death.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith Galatians 3:24

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Mormon belief of the gospel

Latter-day Saints beliefs is from five main sources:

1.The book of Mormon, Joseph Smith said is “the most correct of any book on earth”.

2.The Doctrine and Covenants (mostly theology)

3.The Pearl of Great Price

4. The King James Bible, “insofar as it translated correctly” for the average Mormon this means that the Bible cannot be trusted, which is why Joseph Smith began his own ”inspired” translation.

5.The Mormon president, considered to be the final authority and voice of God on earth today- like a Mormon pope.

For the Mormons gospel is merely just following the teachings of the Mormon church.

3.Christian belief of Heaven

Heaven is the dwelling place of God. Born again Bible believing Christians will be in the presence of God forever. When we speak of heaven or our hope of eternity, the Bible says we will receive a new heavenly body like Jesus had when He rose from the dead. Bodies that are not subject to disease, decay and death.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God Revelation 21:3 

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself Philippians 3:21

 

Mormon belief of heaven

Mormons believe that, after the final judgement, almost everyone will go to some form of heaven. For the Mormons, heaven is divided into 3 kingdoms. Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial. The Celestial is only for faithful Mormons who meet all the requirements will enter this highest kingdom, Terrestrial is for those refuse to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ but who live honourable lives, most Mormons will also end up here. Telestial is for everyone else who is wicked and ungodly.

4.Christian belief of Hell

Hell is eternal damnation. A place where people are treated given their just punishment, exactly what they deserve according to the perfect righteousness of God. Outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Everybody who’s name was not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life are cast into the lake of fire and get their eternal punishment in hell.

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth Matthew 13:50 

 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire Revelation 20:14-15 

 

Mormon belief of Hell

Mormons believe in hell and for them there are two types of hell. One is a state of pain, guilt, and anguish where the spirits of the wicked will be after they die but before the final judgment (a state of spirit prison).  The other is an everlasting state of hell reserved for a few truly wicked (outer darkness) they taught that its only for the “sons of perdition” the devil and his angels, and a few apostate Mormons.

 

Mormon belief of Jesus

Mormons believe God came to this planet he brought his goddess wives, and they began producing spirit children who grew and matured in the spirit realm. Jesus was the first of their spirit children to be born in heaven, followed by Lucifer and the rest of us. He is the spirit brother of Satan and He is not eternal God. Mormons deny the Trinity and believe that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate gods. Therefore, instead of teaching that Jesus is our immortal God who became a man, the LDS church teaches that Jesus is a mortal man who became a god and showed that all men can do the same. That certainly isn’t the Jesus of the Bible.

5.Christian belief of Jesus

Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, God manifest in the flesh. God became a human being. He created Himself a body prepared for many. The Bible says, Jesus is the express image of the invisible God. The reason God became a human being was to save us from our sins through His precious blood that was shed on the cross of Calvary, through the death, burial and resurrection. Jesus conquered sin and death to reconcile us unto Him.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory 1 Timothy 3:16 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Colossians 1:13,14 

Again, the Bible is clear that forgiveness of sins does not depend on our own efforts, but only on what Christ has accomplished for us on the cross. Eternal life is freely available to all who do what the Scriptures command.

Believe, repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone to be saved. Read the Holy Bible (The Instruction book for life itself) and ask God to help us obey what we read.

WHY IS THERE SUFFERING?

There are no words to describe the anguish being felt by those who are suffering today, our heart and prayers have and will go out to them and all the emergency services and those actively working on the front line. There are plagues, illness, crime, death etc. Perhaps you have been asking the question “WHY”?

God created man perfect, and he lived in a perfect world without suffering. The Bible tells us that God cursed the earth because of Adam’s sin. When sin came into the world, death and misery came with it.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Genesis 3:17(KJV)

Sadly, many use the issue of suffering as an excuse to reject any thought of God, when existence of suffering is the very reason we should receive Him and repent today for no one is guaranteed tomorrow. To understand why there is suffering we must read His word, the Holy Bible.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 5:12(KJV)

How can we know that the Bible is true? Simply read and study the prophecies of: Matthew 24, Luke 21, and 2 Timothy 3. When people repent, believe Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, fully trust, have faith in Him alone, whatever life brings only Jesus Christ can be relied on.

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mark 1:15(KJV)

When people receive the message of the Holy Bible they can say that all sufferings are temporal for those who have sincerely repented and believed the gospel of Jesus Christ, and are now awaiting on the new heaven and a new earth where there will be no sorrow and pain for God will wipe away all tears, and make all things new.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:4-5(KJV)

PANDEMIC, DISEASES, AND SICKNESSES

The Holy Bible says in the Old Testament that on many occasions God brought plagues and diseases on His people and on His enemies " that you mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth." "for to shew in thee my power."

For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

Exodus 9:14 KJV

And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

Exodus 9:16 KJV

God used plagues on Egypt to force Pharaoh to free the Israelites from bondage, to spare His people from being affected by them. Indicating His Sovereign control over diseases and other afflictions.

For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

Exodus 12:12 KJV

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12:13 KJV

God also warned His people of the consequences of disobedience including plagues, or suffer many evils.

And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

Leviticus 26:21 KJV

The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

Deuteronomy 28:22 KJV

It’s sometimes hard to imagine our loving and merciful God displaying such wrath and anger towards His people. But God's punishments always have the goal of repentance and restoration.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

In the New Testament, Jesus healed "every sickness and every disease among the people." "He gave His apostles and disciples power to heal all manner of sickness and disease.

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Matthew 9:35 KJV

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Matthew 10:1 KJV

Just as God used plagues and disease to show His power to the Israelites in the Old Testament, Jesus in the New Testament healed as an exhibition of the same power to verify that He was truly the Son of God. Indicating His Sovereign control over all things.

For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

Mark 3:10 KJV

The spread of sickness and diseases is a foretaste of pandemics that will be a part of the end times.

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luke 21:11 KJV

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Luke 21:26 KJV

For those who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, pandemics, disease, sickness, etc should be a reminder that life on this earth can be lost at any moment. As bad as pandemics are hell will be worst!

The moment we humble ourselves repent, believe, trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, we pass from eternal death unto eternal life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:24 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6 KJV

The born again Christian, (John 3:3) however, has the assurance of Salvation and the hope of eternity because of the blood of Christ shed on the cross for us.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Hebrews 9:28 KJV

Thank you to all our Reader's.

May God bless you all.
