When Christ died on the cross, believers in Him died with Him.

Believing this, and for as long as we actively believe this, we can walk free of sin.

We are dead to sin.

Our sinful evil self is dead--killed on the cross of Christ.

Believe it.

I was just reading the New Testament book of First John (Fourth from the end of the Bible.). If, as a believer, you want the assurance of your salvation, this is the book for you.

John says that if you believe that Jesus is the Savior (Christ), then you are saved(forgiven of all sins and guaranteed to go to Heaven the minute you die), and you can know that to be true, because, inspired by God's Spirit, as His apostle, he's telling you that that's the case.

Then the second part is that, to remain in fellowship with God, you must love with the power of the love that is in you
because Christ is in you.

Pray to Jesus.

Also, if you sinned today, confess it right now, get rid of the bad feelings right now, and get back walking with your Savior right now, in peace, love and joy.

Great book.

Real prosperity is not having a lot of money--real prosperity is knowing Jesus in your spirit and soul.

God's love, peace, joy and comfort.

The deceitfulness of money is that it doesn't deliver what it promises--but Jesus DOES.

If you want forgiveness of your sins, inner peace, relaxation, protection, no worries, satisfaction, love, joy, enjoyment, pleasure, meaning, and every other blessing, you CANNOT get these from money--you can only get these from Jesus.

Why else do you think so many millionaires who have "everything" put a gun barrel into their mouths and pull the trigger or "accidentally overdose" on pills? Or, like Brad Delp of the rock group Boston ("More than a Feeling"), asphyxiate themselves sitting in their cars and filling the garage with carbon monoxide?

Why do they murder themselves?

Because tons of money and hot sex and adoring fans and a big house and an exotic sports car and gourmet food and perfect health and recreational drugs and worldwide fame and amazing talent and endless accomplishments and advanced education and the perspective of youth and perfect logic and Buddhistic meditation and even beautiful children and exciting romance and little enjoyments and good friendships--CANNOT forgive your sins and fill your soul with God's love and peace.

It's not only money that is *worthless* compared to Jesus--all these other things are to be accounted as trash compared to Him also.

People who do not believe in Jesus and who do not have a daily prayer-and- obedience ~grace relationship~ with Him have NO inner peace.

Let me say that again:

People who do not believe in Jesus and who do not have a daily prayer-and- obedience ~grace relationship~ with Him have NO inner peace.

None.

I don't need to go round and ask them and see their big fake smiles and hear their lies--the Bible already tells me this is true.

Some of them have looked for all of these things in the false god Money, and it disappointed them unbelievably hugely.

They'd tell you this themselves but they are dead and most are being tormented in Hell. They are permanently and forever away from the comforting presence of God. (This presence and blessing of God, by the way, is being felt today by unbelieving people in our world today. It's called "common grace." God blesses good people and evil people alike with things to enjoy. This is why life on this Earth, as bad and painful as it gets, is never anything at all compared to the barren horror and unutterably painful torment of Hell.)

Money is good and necessary and needed --it is the wages of work and investment, and sometimes the gift of God.

Money needs to be wisely and proportionately managed and dealt with to take care of our needs and to help the church and the needy.

Money is never more valuable than when you have very little. The more you get, the less important it is.

Imagine how utterly unimportant money is to Bill Gates, personally! It has been decades since money had the power to improve his life!

A half hour a day of focused morning prayer to Jesus will give you a relationship with the One who graciously provides everything for your enjoyment, and adds no trouble to it.

For most people, a huge amount of money is like pouring thousands of gallons of gasoline onto the spark of greed and idolatry in their souls.

True success is obeying God.

True prosperity is having a daily spiritual relationship with Jesus.

A much higher percentage of lottery winners commit suicide than the general population.

Why is that?

Forgiveness of your sins and inner spiritual and soul satisfaction and love and peace and joy CANNOT be bought with money.

Only Jesus can do that.

Only Jesus can give you Heaven in the real world.

Life without Him, even on this Earth, can turn into a hellish experience.

Do you have Jesus as your Savior?

This is a list of the things God said in the Bible that He wants believers in Jesus to do. He wants us to do these things ***IN THE POWER OF CHRIST THAT LIVES WITHIN US***, THESE THINGS ARE GOD'S WILL, AND THEY PUT INTO WORDS HOW GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE.
Here is a list of basically all of the commands of God in the New Testament. God will show you personally, by His Spirit to your spirit, how each of these may apply to you.
Please study these words of God to know His will for your life. If you want the loving presence of Jesus in your life, first believe in Him, and then start trusting and obeying what He says, doing the things He commands, and living the way He says to live. This is NOT "legalism," this is just a list of things that we know God wants us to do. "Legalism" is trying to get saved or get holy by obeying rules. Legalism is spiritually deadly false doctrine. This list is made up of things that God, who has saved believers in Jesus and made us holy in Him, wants us to do.
God has promised that if we OBEY His commands to BELIEVE IN JESUS and LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY that He WILL manifest Himself to us and BLESS us. We will be in fellowship with Him.
Here's a list of things God wills that we do in the power of Christ, in love, in connection to Him and prayer to Him and trusting Him, by His grace and love and Spirit, in order to enjoy ~fellowship~ with God and to have a life built on the Solid Rock.
*** Very Important: You do NOT have to obey even one of these commands to be forgiven of all your sins and to be guaranteed a place in Heaven--the only command you must obey to get into Heaven is to believe in (trust) Jesus the Christ as your Savior. Jesus is the God-man Who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from death to life on the third day...


~Blessed (happy) are they that do His commandments~

There are 1,050 commands in the New Testament for believers to obey.

There are about 800 basic commands.

If obeyed, they will bring rich rewards here and forever.

If disobeyed, they may bring punishment on Earth and loss of rewards in Heaven.

We are never so full of pride as when we can claim, of our own effort, (or lack of desire, opportunity or tempting circumstance) *never* to have sinned a particular sin.

Real-Life Examples:

"At least I am not a homosexual!"

"At least I am not a scum-bag Liberal Democrat!"

"At least I am not so stupid as to be an atheist!"

"I have never slept with anyone other than your mother."

"I am *proud* to say that I am a virgin!"

"I am not a serial killer--I could NEVER murder someone!"

"What was he thinking? I would NEVER do anything do that!"

All of these are examples of sinful pride--self-righteousness, that we hear all the time.

PRIDE AGAINST GOD IS THE WORST SIN.

Pride--Self-Righteousness is the worst sin there is. How do I know? I know this because because Satan is the most evil person there is, and pride is his sin. Pride is Satan's sin.

Pride is the sin that sent the self-righteous Pharisees to the deepest part of Hell to be tormented more than other sinners.

Our human hearts are so twisted and desperately evil (says the Bible) that we can even be proud of not being prideful (!!) This is the most deluded and desperate condition of all.

We are all masters of evil and self-deception in the depths of our natural sinful hearts.

So, what is the alternative to this dilemma?

We need to get real with God.

God can transform any of our hearts and personalities, no matter how screwed up or sinful or evil we are...

God can give us a new self, and God can give us true caring and compassion for other people.

Please try these truths on for size:

"By the grace of God go I."

"Christ is my Righteousness."

"I'm no better than you or anyone."

"Thank God Jesus died for my sins, forgave me and saved me."

Amen?
