Christ: The Only Permanence

There is only one thing that you can possess that will last: Christ.

That which you have done through Christ living in you here on earth

Will be your Treasure in Heaven,

But even that will have less importance once you are there;

It will pale in importance to the Glory of God revealed.

Everything else will be lost when you leave this earth. Everything!

You brought nothing material into this world

And you will take nothing material out of this world. (1 Timothy 6:7)

The apostle John declares “The LIFE Appeared.” (1 John 1:2)

In all that exists there is only One LIFE: Christ.

You either possess Him or rather He possess you or you have no LIFE.

There is no other LIFE in this world or outside of this world.

There is only one way to possess Him or have Him possess you;

That is to love Him and to love Him you must obey his Commands;

That is love for Christ, obedience to His Commands. (John 14:15)

Therefore LIFE is obedience to His Commands.

If you obey His Commands you have LIFE

If you do not obey His Commands you have no LIFE.

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.

This is how we know we are IN Him:

Whoever claims to live IN Him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:4-6)

There is only one way we can obey His commands and walk as Jesus did,

That is by allowing Him to live in an through us.

Only Christ can obey His Commands.

We cannot obey His commands;

Only Christ living in and through us can accomplishing this.

This is what it means to ABIDE in Christ.

It means we allow Christ to live in and through us.

Christ Jesus said:

Remain IN Me, and I will remain in you.

No branch can bear fruit by itself; It must remain in the VINE.

I AM the VINE; you are the branches,

If a man remains IN Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit;

Apart from Me you can do nothing.

If anyone does not remain in Me,

He is like a branch that is thrown away and withers;

Such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

If you remain IN Me and My Words remain IN you,

Ask what ever you wish, and it will be given you.

This is to My Father's Glory, that you bear much fruit,

Showing yourselves to be My disciples.

As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you.

Now remain IN My love,

Just as I have obeyed My Father's Commands and remain in His love.

I have told you this so that My Joy may be complete.

My Command is this: love each other as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this,

That one lay down his life for his friends.

You are my friends IF you do what I Command.

I no longer call you servants,

Because a servant does not know his mater's business.

Instead, I have called you friends,

For everything that I learned from My Father I have made know to you.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit--

Fruit that will last [Treasure in Heaven].

Then the Father will give you what ever you ask in My Name.

This is My Command: Love each other. (John 15:4-17)

Our only hope of Glory or Heaven is Christ living in us.

(Colossians 1:27)

We have no other hope! Christ Jesus said:

'If you love Me, you will obey what I Command.

And I will ask the Father,

And He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--

The Spirit of TRUTH [Christ in us].

The World cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him.

But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you [after Pentecost].

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you [Christ the Holy spirit].

Before long, the world will not see Me anymore, but you will see Me.

Because I live you will also live.

On that Day [Pentecost] you will realize that I AM IN My Father,

And you are IN Me, and I AM IN you [Christ IN us].

Whoever has My Commands and obeys them,

He is the one who loves Me.

He who loves Me will be loved by My Father,

And I too will love him and show Myself to him.

Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said,

'But Lord, why do you intend to show Yourself to us and not to the world?'

Jesus replied, 'If anyone 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 not love Me will not obey My teaching.

These worlds you hear are not My Own;

They belong to the Father Who sent Me.

All this I have spoken while still with you.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit [Christ in you],

Whom the Father will send in My Name,

Will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:15-27)

Christ living in you is the only way you will leave this world ALIVE!

He is the only PERMANENT LIFE!

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!
