The Whole TRUTH!


Christ Jesus is the TRUTH. (John 14:6)
Christ Jesus said: “You have one Teacher, the Christ.” (Matthew 23:10)
Christ is the Word of God made flesh. (John 1:11)
The writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and all the other NT writers,
Wrote only what Christ had taught.
The entire Old Testament is included in the Whole TRUTH
Because Christ Jesus said that He did not come
To change anything in the Old Testament but rather came to fulfill it. He said:

'Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter,
Not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law
Until everything is accomplished.' (Matthew 5:17-18)

The Whole TRUTH, then, is the Whole Word of God,
From the first word to the last.

The New Testament includes, the between 30 and 40 commands of Christ
Depending on how you look at them.
[See the publication: The Commands Of Christ.]
This is in addition to the other teachings of Christ Jesus.

The reason the Whole TRUTH is important is that many preachers
And expositors focus on a limited amount of Scripture,
Often, especially in the New Testament,
Often excluding the Book Of Revelation.
When this is done it is not the Whole TRUTH.
Every Christian needs to understand the Whole TRUTH
The Whole Word of God.
It is all Good News when it is properly understood.

In the Garden of Eden there was no faith and no hope
As there was no need for faith or hope.
The Grace of God in the Garden of Eden was
That Adam and Eve were given Eternal LIFE, by Grace of Creator God.
They gave up this Grace and Eternal LIFE when they disobeyed God,
And were therefore expelled from the Garden.
In the Garden of Eden the atmosphere
Was the Pure Love of the Presence of God; God is Love.

Today, the Grace of God is that we, in our “fallen” nature,
Have been given a way back to Paradise through Christ Jesus.
Christ Jesus said to the thief on the cross next to Him:
"Today, you will be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 24:33)
The thief expressed faith in Christ Jesus; that He was the Son of God.
That faith was enough for Christ Jesus to give him Paradise.
The thief's words amounted to a forsaking of the life he had lived,
And his desire to live with Christ.

Most of us are not in the same situation as the thief on the cross.
We are called by the drawing of God the father.
We are chosen when we say yes to that call.
We do not choose Christ, Christ chooses us. (John 15:16)
He chose us to go and bear fruit for His Kingdom.
To do this we must abide in Him.
Apart from Him, we can do nothing of value for His Kingdom. (John 15:5)
With Him all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

To abide in Him we must embrace Him, the Word of God made flesh.
We must embrace the Whole Word of God, the Whole TRUTH.
Not that which we selectively choose.
Christ Jesus is a Whole Person not fragmented parts we might favor.
The Apostle Paul said that he wanted to know Christ
And the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.
(Philippians 3:10) The Whole Christ.

If we love Him we will obey His commands. (John 14:15)
This is what it means to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength,
And our neighbor as ourselves.
If we love Him we will seek first and above all else
His Kingdom and His righteousness. (Matthew 6:33)
We will enter through the narrow gate that only a few find.
(Matthew 7:13-14)
All men will hate you because of Me,
But he who stands firm to the END will be saved. (Matthew10:22)

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 that Me is not worthy of Me;
Anyone who love his son or daughter more that 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)

The Whole TRUTH is that Christ Jesus offers every person His LIFE.
This is not a LIFE of comfort and ease or free from trouble.
This is a LIFE lived as a stranger and alien in a world ruled by Satan.
Nevertheless, It is a LIFE of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Those who receive His LIFE escape the JUDGMENT of Christ.
Those who refuse His LIFE receive Eternal Death.
I pray that all who are reading this message
Will choose the LIFE Christ offers.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
