What Is the Assurance?

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

To believe, one must get to know Christ.  Getting to know Christ is to study the living word (bible) and believe in your heart without doubt, and one's life must reflect that belief. 

In the beginning God  created heaven and earth.  The world had it's birth when man ceased to follow God.  It's only what you do for Christ that will last, that is our love for Christ.

The Strait Gate

The Strait Gate The Strait Gate is a narrow entrance.   Consider the words of Jesus in Luke 13: 22-24. Verse 22:   And he went through the cities and village, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Verse 23:   Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved?   And he said unto them, Verse 24:   Strive to enter in at the strait gate:   for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. The path to the kingdom is a narrow one.   Following any other path than Jesus, one will not be able to enter. The gospel is the good news.   What is the good news? The kingdom ! Is the good news Where is the king’s domain? Follow the path. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and these things shall be added unto you. When we lean on our own understanding, Jesus is not first.   It is nothing wrong with having; however, those things gained will not ...

Whose Plan Is It?

Ephesians 4: 1 says, "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called." In verse two, Paul says we are to walk in all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. This walking is not a physical walking but a spiritual one.  It is how we are to live our lives to the glory of God.  How worthy is your walk? It goes deeper than afore mention.  Consider this; There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph. 4: 4 - 7) Jesus is the chief corner stone which the foundation is built, therefore those who are the saints of God are the temple of God.  It does not matter where you have your name on a roll, what you should be concern about is your name in the Book of Life. Therefore examine yourselves daily to insure you are in...

Many Are Called Few Are Chosen

"For many are called but few are chosen." ( Matthew 22: 14) What does this scripture mean to you? The calling is a call to service as a servant for the Living God.  There are many Gods but there is only one Jesus, therefore we must differentiate when we say god. Consider what Jesus said of Saul of Tarsus before Jesus during his conversion: And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias, And he said, Behold, I am here . (Acts 9: 10, Key Bible KJV) As you see from verse 10 Jesus called Ananias by name and pressed him into service.  Jesus chose Ananias the disciple for this task and Jesus calls many of us for service; do we answer as Ananias or do we ponder the call as if something strange has come over us? or do we ignore the calling and wonder later what is happening in our life our spirit.  It's called conviction and this is a good thing.  Those that are not called do not suffer conviction they s...
