Life, How to Get it.
Christian Living, How to Survive.
Many persons take out expensive health insurance, have a meticulously healthy diet, regular exercise routine, on a whole, they subscribe to a lifestyle that may PROLONG life as they know it. But what
about the REAL life as God Almighty intended for his human subjects, the PARADISE promised by God's Son, Jesus Christ, to one of the two who were punished along side him? [1 Tim. 6:12, 19;
Luke 23:43].
How can we attain this PARADISE, is there a formula? The Holy Writings says at John 3:16:
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that, everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."
This MEANS everlasting LIFE, their taking in KNOWLEDGE of you,
the only true God,
AND of the one whom you SENT FORTH, Jesus Christ. John 17: 3.
John 4: 23, reads: Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS will worship the Father with spirit AND TRUTH, for, indeed, the Father is LOOKING FOR suchlike ones to worship him.
In answer he said: "You MUST LOVE Jehovah your God with your WHOLE heart, and with your WHOLE soul and with your WHOLE strength and with your WHOLE mind,' and
'your neighbour as yourself.'" He said to him: "You answered correctly, 'keep on DOING this and you WILL get LIFE.'"
Luke 10: 27, 28. Compare Deuteronomy 6: 4, 5, 14, 15.
Deuteronomy 6: 4 - 7: Listen, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.
And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force.
And these words that I am commanding you today must prove to be on
your heart; and
you must inculcate them in your son and speak of them
when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when
you lie down and when you get up.
Verse 24 of John 4 reads: God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him MUST worship with
spirit AND TRUTH.
At Psalm 119:160 it reads: The SUBSTANCE of your word IS TRUTH,
And EVERY righteous judicial decision of yours is to TIME INDEFINITE.
John 17:17 says: Sanctify them by MEANS of the TRUTH, your word is TRUTH.
In spirit would refer to God's holy spirit or active force. At Galatians 5:16 to 18, we read:
But I say, keep walking by SPIRIT and you will carry out NO FLESHLY DESIRE at all.
For the FLESH is AGAINST the SPIRIT in its DESIRE, and the spirit is against the flesh, for these
are OPPOSED to each other, so that the very things that you would like to do you do not do.
Furthermore, if you are being LED by spirit, you are NOT UNDER LAW.
All WICKEDNESS will be done away with for ALL TIME as shown
at Revelation 21: 8: But as for the cowards and those without faith and
those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolators and all the liars, their portion
will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur.
This MEANS the second DEATH.
Psalm 1: 1 - 3: Happy is the man that has NOT walked in the counsel of the wicked ones,
And in the way of sinners has NOT stood,
And in the seat of ridiculers has NOT sat.
But his delight is in the law of Jehovah,
And in his law he READS in an undertone DAY and NIGHT.
And he WILL CERTAINLY become like a tree planted by STREAMS of WATER,
That gives its own FRUIT in ITS SEASON
And the foliage of which DOES NOT WITHER,
And EVERYTHING he does WILL SUCCEED.
Compare with Jeremiah 17: 7 - 8.
Fruitage of spirit
At Galatians 5:22, 23 we read: On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG-SUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MILDNESS,
SELF-CONTROL.
Against such things there is NO LAW.
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not
lean upon your own understanding.
In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3: 5, 6.
[By putting our FAITH and WORKS in the provision by God {John 3:16} of his perfect Son's life, we NO
LONGER NEED to DIE in order to PAY for the DEBT of Adamic sin. Thus, we NO LONGER live in accordance
to the FLESH, but in accordance to the spirit, since our sacrificial Lamb is a Spirit, is immortal, and pleads on
our behalf as our High Priest Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 6:20, Hebrews 8:1, 2.]
In this imperfect world, where Satan and his Demons prowl [Revelation 12:9, 12; Revelation 13:4,
8; 1 John 5:9; 1 John 2: 17; 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4.] we NEED to ENSURE that we are NOT LIKE
the world.
SO KEEP STRICT WATCH that HOW you WALK is NOT as UNWISE [persons], buying out
the OPPORTUNE TIME for yourselves, because the days are WICKED. On this account cease becoming unreasonable, but go on perceiving what the will of Jehovah is. Ephesians 5:15-17.
Keep testing whether you are in the faith, keep proving what you yourselves are. 2 Corinthians 13:5.
PRAYERS DIRECTED ONLY TO God Almighty, THROUGH, Jesus Christ.
Jesus the Messiah, has set the pattern of how we should pray.
John 14: 6 says: Jesus said to him: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me...."
In verse 14 of the same chapter Jesus here says: If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
John 16: 23- 24 read: And in that day you will ask me no question at all. Most
truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything he will give it to you
in my name. Until this present time you have not asked a single thing in my
name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
For those of the Gentiles who are CONVERTED to Christianity the following are required:
Acts 21:25.
As for the believers from among the nations, we have sent out, rendering our decision that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed to idols as well as from blood and what is strangled and from fornication.
