YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS

Christ Jesus told the Jews of His Day:

You are from below; I AM from Above.

You are of this World—of this earthly order.

I AM not of this World.

That is why I told you

THAT YOU WILL DIE [UNDER THE CURSE OF] YOUR SINS.

For if you do not believe that I AM He [Who I claim to be]--

If you do not Adhere to, Trust in and Rely on Me--

YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS.

Then they said to Him, Who are You any way?

Jesus replied,Why do I even speak to you!

I AM Exactly what I have been telling you from the first.

I have much to say about you and to Judge and Condemn.

But He Who sent Me is True, and I tell the World

[Only] the things that I have heard from Him.

They did not perceive (know, understand)

That He was speaking to them of the Father.

So Jesus added, When you have LIFTED UP the Son of Man [on the Cross],

You will realize (know, understand) that I AM He [for Whom you look];

And that I do Nothing from Myself—of My own accord, or on My own Authority--

But I say [exactly] what My Father has taught Me.

And He Who sent Me is ever with Me;

My Father has not left Me alone, for I always do what pleases Him.

As He said these things, many believed on Him--

Trusted, Relied on and Adhered to Him.

So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him,

If you abide in My Word—hold fast to My teachings

And live in accordance with them—you are truly My disciples.

AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

They answered Him, We are Abraham's offspring (descendants)

And have never been in Bondage to anybody.

What do You mean by saying, YOU WILL BE SET FREE?

Jesus answered them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,

Whoever commits and practices Sin is the Slave of Sin.

Now a Slave does not remain in a household permanently (forever);

The son [of the house] does remain forever.

So if the Son liberates you—makes you Free men--

Then you are really and unquestionably FREE.

[Yes] I know that you are Abraham's offspring;

Yet you plan to kill Me, because My Word has no entrance--

Makes no progress, does not find any place—in you.

I tell the things which I have seen and learned at My Father's side,

An your actions also reflect

What you have heard and learned from your father.

They retorted, Abraham is our father.

Jesus said, If you were Truly Abraham's children,

Then you would do the works of Abraham--

You would follow his example, do as Abraham did.

But now [instead] you are wanting and seeking to KILL Me,

A Man Who has told you the TRUTH which I have heard from God.

This is not the way Abraham did.

YOU DO THE WORKS OF YOUR FATHER.

They said to Him, We are not illegitimate children and born of fornication;

We have one Father, even God.

Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love Me

And respect Me and welcome Me gladly;

For I proceeded (came forth) from God—out of His very Presence.

I did not even come on My own authority or My own accord (self-appointed),

But He sent Me.

Why do you misunderstand what I say?

It is because you are unable to hear what I AM saying--

You cannot bear to listen to My Message,

Your ears are shut to My Teaching.

YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL;

And it is your will to practice the lusts and gratify the desires

[Which are characteristic] of your father.

HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING,

And does not stand in the TRUTH, because there is NO TRUTH IN HIM.

When he speaks a Falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him;

FOR HE IS A LIAR [himself] and the father of LIES and of all that is FALSE.

But because I speak the TRUTH, you do not believe Me--

Do not Trust Me, do not Rely on Me or Adhere to Me.

Who of you convicts Me of Wrong-doing or finds Me guilty of Sin?

Then if I speak TRUTH, why do you not believe Me--

Trust Me, Rely on and Adhere to Me?

WHOEVER IS OF GOD LISTENS TO GOD--

Those who belong to God hear the Words of God.

This is the reason that you do not listen [to them, to Me],

BECAUSE YOU DO NOT BELONG TO AND ARE NOT OF GOD

Or in Harmony with God.

(John 8:23-47, AMP)

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)

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

This World in it's 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!
