THE FAITH OF CHRIST JESUS

During the days of Jesus life on earth,

He offered up Prayers and Petitions

With loud cries and tears

To the One Who could save Him from Death,

And He was heard because of His Reverent Submission.

Although He was a son,

He learned OBEDIENCE from what He SUFFERED

And once MADE PERFECT,

He became the SOURCE of Eternal Salvation for ALL WHO OBEY HIM

And was designated by God to be High Priest

In the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 5:7-10)

Today, do we offer up Prayers and Petitions

With loud cries and tears

To the One Who can save us from Death?

In other words do we really understand what the STAKES ARE?

Christ Jesus did!

If we are to be Saved

It will be be only through our Reverent Submission to Christ.

As with Christ Jesus,

There is one one way to learn OBEDIENCE

And that is through SUFFERING.

If this is not the case

Then we are saying we are better than Christ Jesus;

That we can learn OBEDIENCE some other way.

The fact is there is no other way.

We live in a Wicked World, ruled by Satan;

A World in which we are HATED by those who do not believe;

Which is most of those in the World;

Therefore OBEDIENCE can only be learned through SUFFERING.

Christ Jesus said this:

If anyone would come after Me,

HE MUST DENY HIMSELF

AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,

But whoever loses his life for Me and for the Gospel will save it.

(Mark 8:34-35)

In this Wicked World,

Taking up your Cross and following Christ Jesus

Is to ostracize yourself from the World around you.

It is setting yourself up to be HATED.

In so doing and in Proclaiming the Gospel, the Good News,

Some will be saved.

That is what Christ Jesus called us to—to be witnesses for Him;

For the Kingdom of God which is not of this World.

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

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

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!
