You Determine Your Eternal Destiny!

By choice, you determine your Eternal Destiny.

It is important to understand that all the New Testament Books

Are written to Christians; to the “saved.”

The reality is that we are “saved” and we are being “saved.”

We are “saved” if we obey the commands of Christ Jesus;

If we allow Christ to live in and through us.

Christ living in us enables us to obey His commands.

If it were “once saved always saved”

There would be no point to most of the New Testament

And its many admonishments.

If you have given your life to Christ; if you have been Born Again,

And have received your Personal Day of Pentecost;

That is you have been baptized, immersed in the Spirit of God;

You are on your way.

Now you must remain “In The Vine;” “In Christ” to maintain your salvation.

How does one remain “In Christ?”

One does so by obeying Christ and His commands and principles.

First:

We must love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind soul and strength.

And our neighbor as ourselves.

Second:

We must seek first and above all else the Kingdom of God.

Third:

Our overriding prayer is that His Kingdom comes

And His will is done on earth as in Heaven.

His Kingdom cannot be seen; it lives within us.

We allow His Kingdom to come and His will to be done

By our submission to His Spirit living in us; by submitting our will to His will.

Fourth:

We must obey the commands of Christ Jesus

By the power of His Spirit living within us.

There are some 30 or 40 commands of Christ Jesus

In addition to His sayings. Some of the critical ones are these:

Whoever acknowledges Me before men,

I will also acknowledge him before My Father in Heaven.

But whoever disowns Me before men,

I will disown him before My Father in Heaven. Matthew 10:32-33)

Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me;

Anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

And anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me

Is not worthy of Me.

Whoever finds his life will lose it,

And whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matthew 10:37-39)

You Must Overcome This World And It's Ruler, Satan

We are “saved” out of this world to OVERCOME this world!

In the Seven letters to the seven churches in Revelation

Christ Jesus does not talk about the “saved,”

Rather, He talks about those who overcome.

The apostle John hears a voice from Heaven saying:

'Now [at the return of Christ Jesus] have come the salvation

And the power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ.

For the accuser of our brothers [Satan],

Who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

They [the saints of God] overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb

And the word of their testimony;

They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

(Revelation 12:10-11)

We overcome this world and the one who rules it, Satan,

By the blood of the Lamb; having applied the blood of Christ to our lives;

And living a holy life before the Living God.

This is only possible by the power of the Spirit of God

Living in and through us.

Then we are able to testify for Christ by the lives we live in and for Him

And by telling others about this wonderful life Christ offers every person.

This is what it means to “KNOW” God.

Knowing God is eternal LIFE! (John 17:3)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
