Jesus says, "Teach them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I commanded!"
Posted : 1 Aug, 2011 12:33 PM
READ GOD'S WORD DAILY **THEN** DO WHAT IT SAYS!!
Psalm 1:1,2: �Blessed is the man:rolleyes: who delights in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates **DAY and NIGHT**.�
Acts 17:11: The Bereans received the message with great eagerness:rolleyes: and examined the Scriptures **EVERY DAY*!!�
THE GREAT COMMISSION:
Matthew 28:19,20: Jesus says, �Go and make disciples of all nations...teaching them to ***OBEY EVERYTHING*** I have commanded you!!�
Unfortunately many evangelical churches only preach how to be saved after saying their prepared sinner's prayer and never teach that we should OBEY ALL THE COMMANDS OF JESUS and all the Words in the the inspired NT.
John 14:23,24: Jesus says, �If anyone:rolleyes: loves Me he will **OBEY MY TEACHING**, My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him!! He who does no love Me will not obey my teaching!!�
I John 2:3-5: We know that we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we **OBEY HIS COMMANDS**. The man who says, �I know Him,� but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in Him!!�
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, I will raise up a for them {Israel} a Prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put My words in His mouth, and he will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I Myself will call him to account!!"
James 1:22,25: Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. **DO WHAT IT SAYS**!!...The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, **BUT DOING IT**--he will be blessed in what he does!!�
It is certainly hard lately to find a church with people who really love and obey and are on fire for Jesus. Very often even evangelical churches teach that if you pray the sinner's prayer and accept Jesus as your Savior you will receive a free pass to eternal life and God forbid that you should suffer financial hardship or persecution or tribulation or obey all the commands of Jesus.
This certainly helps church membership and teaches varying degrees of the Satanic Prosperity Gospel at the expense of the Truth. Many Satanic churches also have women preachers which absolutely contradicts God's Word in I Timothy 2:9,10 and I Corinthians 14:33,34.
Many slick evangelical churches who continually seek to increase church membership will even give you a copy of the sinner's prayer and will guarantee that by saying this prayer out loud it will automatically give you eternal salvation in heaven.
Revelation 22:16-18: �I, Jesus have sent My angel to give you {The Greek for you is plural} this testimony {All of Revelation} **FOR THE CHURCHES**!!
�I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone **ADDS** anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book {Which includes eternal torment in hell as per Rev 14:10,11;19:20; 20:10} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City, {The New Jerusalem} which are described in this book!!�
Unfortunately, many churches continually ADD and TAKE WORDS AWAY from God's Word and do not declare the whole counsel of God as He commanded.
I Thessalonians 2:13: �We thank God continually because, when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is **THE WORD OF GOD**, which is at work in you who believe!!�
2 Timothy 3:16: �All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work!!�
There are about 400 do's and don'ts in the NT of God's Word to be obeyed with love just as Jesus loved us {See John 13:34 & John 15:13!!} with the hope of countless eternal *REWARDS* for faithful and loving service!~!
Revelation 22:12: Jesus says, �Behold, I am coming soon! My **REWARD** is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!!�
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: "So we make it our goal to please Him..For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him {**UNSEEN REWARDS & TREASURES**} for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad!"
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For the Son of Man is going to come in His **FATHER'S GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS*{See Matt 24:30-31;25:31-40 & 2 Thess 1:6-10!!}, and **THEN** He will *REWARD* each person according to what he has done."
Jesus says in Rev 2:17; 3:4, 5, 21: �To him who overcomes...I will give a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it:rolleyes:.....He will walk with Me for he is worthy:rolleyes:... I will acknowledge his name before My Father and His angels.... I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem.....I will write on him my New Name... and I will give him the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.�
So Salvation is a 100% FREE GIFT as per Ephesians 2:8,9 and {**UNSEEN**} eternal *REWARDS* for God's faithful and loving saints are 100% earned!
I Peter 1:13: �Therefore, prepare your minds for *ACTION*, and set your hope *FULLY* on the {**UNSEEN**} grace to be given *YOU* when Jesus Christ is *REVEALED*.:applause::angel:

I Corinthians 12:4-6: "There are DIFFERENT kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are DIFFERENT kinds of service but the same Lord. There are DIFFERENT kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men."
Romans 12:6-8: "We have DIFFERENT gifts, according to the grace given us:rolleyes:. If a man's gift is prophesying let him use it in proportion to his faith,If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach!"
I Corinthians 14:1-4,19: Follow the way of love:rolleyes: and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. For everyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening encouragement and comfort. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies:rolleyes: edifies the church.....I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others then 10,000 words in a tongue!":applause::angel::peace:

� Matthew 24:3,9-13:� The disciples asked Jesus, �What will be the sign of your Coming and the end of the age?? Jesus answered�.. {During the 1260-dayGreat Tribulation} �Then *YOU*:rolleyes: will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and *YOU will be hated by all nations because of Me.� At that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of *MOST* will grow cold,{THE GREAT APOSTASY} but he {The Called, Chosen & Faithful-Rev 17:14b} who stands firm to the End will be saved.�
The pre-tribbers claim that the "YOU" in Matthew 24:9 above are Jews only and that much of Matthew was only written for Jews like Matthew chapters 5-7. Which is of course completely ridiculous since Jesus said to His 11 Apostles in Matthew 28:19,20 �Go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*�teaching them to obey *EVERYTHING* I commanded you!�� {Read John 12:48 & John 14:23}� I John 2:3,4,6:� �We know that we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His� commands.� The man who says, �I know Him,� but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him� Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.� According to Rev 12:17 the Tribulation Saints will also:rolleyes: �Hold to the testimony of Jesus!�
� Now the pre-tribbers claim that the phrase �His elect� in Matt 24:31 & Mark 13:27 refers only to Jews which is, of course, ridiculous and is refuted in Romans 10:12: �For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile�the same Lord is Lord of all.� Galatians 3:28,29: �There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male or female, for you are all one:rolleyes: in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise!!� Read Ephesians 2:11-22!! See �GOD'S ELECT� in 2 Tim 2:10, Titus 1:1 and 1 Peter 1:1,2.
Hebrews 11:39,40: These {OT saints mentioned in Heb 11:4-38} were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planed something better for US:rolleyes: {NT Saints} so that only TOGETHER WITH US {NT saints} WOULD THEY {OT saints} BE MADE PERFECT.�{Receive new heavenly bodies-See I Cor 15:49-52 & Hebrews 11:10,14-16 & Daniel 12:1,2,7b}

phillipjohn: Everyone knows you believe in the Satanic Prosperity Gospel and that you believe that everyone saved receives the gift of tongues and everyone who disagrees with you is not of God.

Dictionary definition of Repentance.
To feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret or be conscience-stricken about a past action, attitude, etc. (often followed by of ): He repented after his thoughtless act.To feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better; be penitent.
When a person is truly born of God he will steadily turn away from his past life of sin. This of course doesn't completely happen overnight especially for the babe in Christ and continues till we get to heaven. Jesus commands us to continually pray to the Father to forgive us our sins in Luke 11:2-4.
I John 1:8-10: "If we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our :rolleyes:sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His Word has no place in our lives!"
Jesus told his saints in the 7 churches to repent 7 times In Revelation 2:5{2X}; 2:16,21,22; 3:3,19.
2 Peter 1:5-10: Make every effort to add to your faith {A Free Gift from God} goodness, and to goodness, knowledge, and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, LOVE. For if you possess these qualities in *INCREASING MEASURE*, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind and has forgotten that he has been cleansed of his past sins. Therefore, my brothers:rolleyes:, be all the more eager to make your CALLING and ELECTION sure, For if you do these things you will never fail, and you will receive a *RICH WELCOME* into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.:applause::angel::peace:
I Peter 1:13: �Therefore, prepare your minds for *ACTION*, and set your hope *FULLY* on the grace to be given *YOU* when Jesus Christ is *REVEALED*.
