Take Up Your Cross, YOU, Salt OF The Earth

Psalm 143:10

TEACH Me (Believers), TO DO YOUR WILL (GOD Almighty’s Will), FOR YOU (GOD Almighty) ARE MY GOD; YOUR SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) IS GOOD! LEAD Me (Believers), IN THE LAND OF UPRIGHTNESS!

Matthew 10:37-39

THESE Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples), Jesus Sent Out AND Commanded Them, SAYING: “He (Believers) Who Loves Father OR Mother, MORE THAN ME (Jesus), IS NOT WORTHY OF ME (Jesus)! AND He (Believers) Who Loves Son OR Daughter, MORE THAN ME (Jesus), IS NOT WORTHY OF ME (Jesus)!”

“AND He (Believers) WHO DOES NOT TAKE HIS CROSS (As Jesus’ Disciple – Sharing The Gospel OF Jesus Christ) AND FOLLOW, AFTER ME (Jesus), IS NOT WORTHY OF ME (Jesus)!”

“He (Believers) WHO FINDS His Life (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body), WILL LOSE IT (Life in The Natural Body), AND He (Believers) WHO LOSES His Life (Life in The Natural Body), FOR MY SAKE (Jesus Christ’s Sake – The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), WILL FIND IT (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body)!”

Matthew 16:24-25, 27

THEN, Jesus Said TO His Disciples, “IF ANYONE (Believers) DESIRES TO COME, AFTER ME (Jesus), Let Him (Believers) DENY Himself, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS (As Jesus’ Disciple – Sharing The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), AND FOLLOW ME (Jesus)!”

“FOR WHOEVER DESIRES TO SAVE His Life (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body), WILL LOSE IT (Life in The Natural Body); BUT, WHOEVER LOSES His Life (Life in The Natural Body), FOR MY SAKE (Jesus Christ’s Sake – The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), WILL FIND IT (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body)!”

“FOR THE SON OF MAN (Jesus Christ) WILL COME (The Being Caught Up Together), IN THE GLORY OF HIS FATHER (GOD Almighty), WITH HIS ANGELS; AND THEN, HE (Jesus) WILL REWARD EACH (Believers), ACCORDING TO His Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works Performed, THROUGH Us)!”

Mark 8:34-35

WHEN, HE (Jesus) Had Called The People, TO Himself, WITH His Disciples, Also; HE (Jesus) SAID TO Them, “WHOEVER (Believers) DESIRES TO COME, AFTER ME (Jesus), Let Him (Believers) DENY Himself, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS (As Jesus’ Disciple – Sharing The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), AND FOLLOW ME (Jesus)!”

“FOR WHOEVER (Believers) DESIRES TO SAVE His Life (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body), WILL LOSE IT (Life in The Natural Body); BUT, WHOEVER (Believers) LOSES His Life (Life in The Natural Body), FOR MY SAKE (Jesus Christ’s Sake) AND THE GOSPEL’s (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), WILL SAVE IT (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body)!”

Luke 9:23-24

THEN, HE (Jesus) SAID TO Them All, “IF ANYONE (Believers) DESIRES TO COME, AFTER ME (Jesus), Let Him (Believers) DENY Himself, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS (As Jesus’ Disciple – Sharing The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), DAILY, AND FOLLOW ME (Jesus)!”

“FOR WHOEVER (Believers) DESIRES TO SAVE His Life (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body), WILL LOSE IT (Life in The Natural Body); BUT, WHOEVER (Believers) LOSES His Life (Life in The Natural Body), FOR MY SAKE (Jesus Christ’s Sake – The Gospel OF Jesus Christ), WILL SAVE IT (Everlasting Life – The Spiritual Body)!”

Luke 14:25-27, 33

NOW, Great Multitudes WENT WITH HIM (Jesus)! AND HE (Jesus) Turned AND SAID TO Them, “IF ANYONE (Believers) COMES TO ME (Jesus) AND Does NOT Hate His Father AND Mother, Wife AND Children, Brothers AND Sisters, YES, AND His Own Life, Also (THAT IS, IF Believers Do NOT Put Serving Jesus Christ ABOVE Everything Else), He (Believers) CAN NOT BE MY DISCIPLE (Jesus’ Disciple)! AND WHOEVER (Believers) DOES NOT BEAR HIS CROSS (As Jesus’ Disciple – Sharing The Gospel OF Jesus Christ) AND COME, AFTER ME (Jesus), CAN NOT BE MY DISCIPLE (Jesus’ Disciple)! SO LIKEWISE, WHOEVER OF YOU (Believers), DOES NOT FORSAKE ALL THAT He (Believers) HAS (THAT IS, IF Believers Do NOT Put Serving Jesus Christ ABOVE Everything Else), CAN NOT BE MY DISCIPLE (Jesus’ Disciple)!”

Matthew 5:2, 13

THEN, HE (Jesus) Opened His Mouth AND TAUGHT Them (Believers), SAYING: “YOU (Believers) ARE THE SALT OF The Earth; BUT, IF THE SALT (Believers) LOSES ITS FLAVOR, HOW SHALL IT BE SEASONED? IT IS THEN, Good For NOTHING; BUT, TO BE Thrown Out AND Trampled, Underfoot By Men!”

Mark 9:49-50

BUT, Jesus Said, “FOR EVERYONE (Believers) WILL BE SEASONED, WITH FIRE (The Holy Spirit), AND Every Sacrifice (GOD Almighty’s Good Works Performed, THROUGH Us) WILL BE SEASONED, WITH SALT! SALT IS GOOD; BUT, IF THE SALT (Believers) LOSES ITS FLAVOR, HOW WILL YOU (Believers) SEASON IT? HAVE SALT IN Yourselves (Believers), AND HAVE PEACE, WITH One Another!”

Luke 14:34-35

“SALT IS GOOD; BUT, IF THE SALT (Believers) HAS LOST ITS FLAVOR, HOW SHALL IT BE SEASONED? IT IS NEITHER FIT, For The Land, NOR For The Dunghill; BUT, Men Throw IT Out! He (Believers) WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR, LET Him (Believers) HEAR!”

1 Corinthians 2:12-13, 15-16

NOW, WE (Believers) HAVE RECEIVED, NOT The Spirit OF The World (THAT IS, Satan); BUT, THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), WHO IS FROM GOD (GOD Almighty); THAT WE (Believers) MIGHT KNOW THE THINGS (THAT IS, The Spiritual Things), THAT HAVE BEEN FREELY GIVEN TO Us (Believers), BY GOD (GOD Almighty)!

THESE THINGS (THAT IS, The Spiritual Things), WE (Believers) ALSO SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS, Which Man’s Wisdom Teaches (THROUGH Satan); BUT WHICH, THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES (Us), Comparing Spiritual Things, WITH Spiritual (Things)!

BUT, He (Believers) WHO IS SPIRITUAL, Judges All Things; YET, He (Believers), Himself, IS RIGHTLY JUDGED, BY NO ONE! FOR “Who Has Known THE MIND OF THE LORD (Jesus), That He May Instruct HIM (Jesus)?” BUT, WE (Believers) HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST (THAT IS, Because Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!

Colossians 4:6

LET YOUR SPEECH (Believers’ Speech), ALWAYS BE WITH GRACE, SEASONED WITH SALT, THAT YOU (Believers) MAY KNOW, HOW YOU (Believers) OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH ONE!

1 John 2:25, 27

AND THIS, IS THE PROMISE, THAT HE (Jesus) HAS PROMISED Us (Believers), ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

BUT, THE ANOINTING (OF The Holy Spirit), WHICH YOU (Believers) HAVE RECEIVED, FROM HIM (Jesus), ABIDES IN YOU (Believers), AND YOU (Believers) Do NOT Need That ANYONE Teach YOU (Believers); BUT, AS THE SAME ANOINTING (The Holy Spirit), TEACHES YOU (Believers), CONCERNING ALL THINGS (THAT IS, Spiritual Things), AND IS TRUE (THAT IS, Coming From GOD Almighty), AND IS NOT A LIE (THROUGH Satan), AND JUST AS IT (The Holy Spirit) HAS TAUGHT YOU (Believers), YOU (Believers) WILL ABIDE, IN HIM (Jesus Christ)!
