TRULY Believing, Being Children Of GOD Almighty

1 Corinthians 15:3-6a

For I Delivered, TO YOU (Fellow Believers), First Of All, That Which, I Also RECEIVED (THROUGH The Holy Spirit): That CHRIST Died, For Our Sins, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), AND That HE (Jesus) Was Buried, AND That HE (Jesus) ROSE (ALIVE) Again, The Third Day (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension), ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), AND That HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE), By Cephas (i.e. Peter), THEN, By THE TWELVE (Jesus’ Disciples). AFTER THAT, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE), By Over Five Hundred (500) Brethren (i.e. Fellow Believers), At Once!

Romans 10:8-13

BUT, WHAT DOES IT SAY (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN Your Mouth, AND IN Your Heart”

THAT IS, THE WORD Of FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Which We (Fellow Believers) Preach:

THAT, IF YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers) CONFESS, With Your Mouth, THE LORD, Jesus; AND BELIEVE, IN Your Heart, That GOD (GOD Almighty) Has RAISED HIM (Jesus, ALIVE) From The Dead (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension), YOU (Fellow Believers) Will Be SAVED (FROM The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!

For With The Heart, One BELIEVES, Unto Righteousness; AND With The Mouth, CONFESSION (Of THIS FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), IS MADE Unto SALVATION (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)!

FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAYS (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), “Whoever BELIEVES, On HIM (Jesus Christ), Will NOT Be Put TO Shame (IN The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!”

For There Is NO Distinction (NO Differentiation), Between Jew (Jewish Believers) AND Greek (Non-Jewish Believers), For THE SAME LORD (Jesus Christ), Over All (Mankind), IS RICH TO ALL (Believers), Who CALL Upon HIM (Jesus Christ)!

For “Whoever (Believers) CALLS On THE NAME Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ), Shall Be SAVED (FROM The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!”

Ephesians 2:8-10

For By GRACE (GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE), YOU (Fellow Believers) Have Been SAVED, THROUGH FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And That NOT Of Yourselves; IT (Salvation) IS, THE GIFT Of GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION), NOT Of Works, Lest ANYONE Should Boast. For We (Fellow Believers) Are HIS (GOD Almighty’s) WORKMANSHIP, CREATED, IN Christ Jesus, For Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), Which GOD (GOD Almighty) PREPARED, BEFOREHAND, That We (Fellow Believers) Should WALK IN Them (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us)!

John 15:1, 2b-5, 8

“I (Jesus Christ) AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) IS THE VINEDRESSER! And EVERY BRANCH (Fellow Believers), That Bears FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), HE (GOD Almighty) PRUNES (i.e. Molds And Changes, To Be More Like HIM, And Less Like The Rest Of Mankind), That IT (Believers) May Bear More FRUIT!

YOU (Fellow Believers) Are ALREADY CLEAN, Because Of THE WORD (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Which I Have SPOKEN, TO YOU! ABIDE IN ME (Jesus), AND I IN YOU (Fellow Believers)! As The Branch Can NOT Bear Fruit Of Itself, UNLESS, It Abides, IN The Vine, Neither Can YOU (Fellow Believers), UNLESS, YOU ABIDE IN ME!

I (Jesus Christ) AM THE VINE, YOU (Fellow Believers) ARE THE BRANCHES (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT)! He (Fellow Believers), WHO ABIDES IN ME (Jesus), AND I IN HIM, Bears Much FRUIT; For WITHOUT ME (Jesus), YOU (Fellow Believers) Can Do NOTHING! BY THIS, MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) IS GLORIFIED, That YOU (Fellow Believers) Bear Much FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); So YOU Will Be MY DISCIPLES (i.e. Jesus Christ’s LIGHT)!

1 Corinthians 2:9-10a, 12-16

BUT, AS IT IS WRITTEN: “Eye Has NOT Seen, NOR Ear Heard, NOR Have Entered Into The Heart Of Man (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), THE (Spiritual) THINGS, Which GOD (GOD Almighty) Has PREPARED, For Those (Believers), Who LOVE HIM!”

BUT, GOD (GOD Almighty) Has REVEALED THEM (The Spiritual Things), TO Us (Fellow Believers), THROUGH HIS SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit)! NOW, We (Fellow Believers) Have RECEIVED, NOT The Spirit Of The World (i.e. Satan), BUT, THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), WHO IS, FROM GOD (GOD Almighty); That We Might KNOW, THE (Spiritual) THINGS, That Have Been, FREELY GIVEN, TO Us (Fellow Believers), By GOD (GOD Almighty)!

THESE (Spiritual) THINGS, We (Fellow Believers) Also SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS, Which Man’s Wisdom Teaches (THROUGH Satan), BUT Which, The Holy Spirit TEACHES (Us, Believers), Comparing SPIRITUAL THINGS, WITH SPIRITUAL (Things)!

BUT, The Natural Man (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Does NOT Receive, THE (Spiritual) THINGS Of THE SPIRIT Of GOD (The Holy Spirit), For THEY (The Spiritual Things) Are Foolishness, TO Him; NOR Can He Know THEM (The Spiritual Things), Because THEY Are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED (i.e. Spiritually Understood)! BUT He (Believers), WHO IS SPIRITUAL (i.e. Children Of GOD Almighty), Judges All (Spiritual) Things, Yet He, Himself, IS RIGHTLY Judged, By NO One! For “Who Has Known, THE MIND Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ), That He May Instruct HIM?” BUT, We (Fellow Believers) Have THE MIND Of CHRIST (Because Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!

Fellow Believers, Do We Truly Understand, What THIS Means?

Well, First Of All, We MUST Truly BELIEVE, EVERYTHING About Jesus Christ, Including: Jesus Lived, A Sin-Free Life; Jesus IS, The Image Of The Invisible GOD (GOD Almighty); Jesus IS, THE SON Of GOD Almighty; Jesus Died, On The Cross, Paying Our Sin-Debt, IN FULL (i.e. ONCE For All, Believers); Jesus Was RAISED ALIVE, By GOD Almighty, On The Third Day; And Forty Days, AFTER HIS Resurrection, Jesus Ascended ALIVE, Into Heaven, And Sat Down, At The Right Hand Of GOD Almighty; Finally, One Day, Very Soon, Jesus Christ Will Return, For HIS BRIDE (i.e. The Being Caught Up Together); YES, We Truly Believe, IN Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension!

Second, We MUST Truly CONFESS, THIS FAITH, IN A Heartfelt Prayer, TO GOD Almighty; IN Which, We Admit That We KNOW, We Are Sinners; And We Do NOT Deserve, GOD Almighty’s Forgiveness; Therefore, We NEED A Savior, OUR LORD, Jesus Christ; We Ask For Forgiveness, For Our Past Sin; AND We Truly Repent, THAT IS, Turn Away From Sin, AND Back Towards GOD Almighty; We Ask Jesus, TO Come Into Our Hearts (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), AND Take Control Of Our Lives, (i.e. Giving HIM, Full Control, Of Our Daily Lives, IN The Natural Body), From THAT MOMENT, Forward; AND That By GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE, THROUGH GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION (Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ), We Have Full Assurance, The Guarantee, TO BE 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!

Third, We Truly Understand, That We Were CREATED, For Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); BUT, That THESE Good Works, Do NOT Earn Our Way, Into Heaven; We Willingly Desire, TO Perform Them (AFTER Accepting Jesus Christ, As OUR LORD And SAVIOR), As Our Part Of Serving GOD Almighty; Therefore, We Are Each Given, A Unique Combination Of Spiritual Gifts; We Were CREATED, TO BE The Spiritual Salt Of The Earth; We Were CREATED, TO BE Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, IN A World (Satan’s World), Full Of Darkness; Finally, We Were CREATED, TO LOVE AND TO SERVE, OUR GOD (GOD Almighty), WITH All Our Heart, WITH All Our Soul, WITH All Our Mind, AND WITH All Our Strength, Every Single Moment Of Every Single Day!

Folks, THIS Does NOT Mean, Sitting Around, Waiting For Jesus Christ’s Return; i.e. I’m Saved, And That’s All I Need To Do! Our Salvation IS Just The Beginning; GOD Almighty, Continuously, Molds And Changes Us, Our Entire Lifetime (IN The Natural Body), TO BE More Like HIM, And Less Like The Rest Of Mankind; THIS Includes: Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone, Using Our Unique Combination Of Spiritual Gifts, TO Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, With Everyone, Who Has Ears, TO Hear, And Eyes, TO See, THE TRUTH!

Fellow Believers, We KNOW, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always.

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together, IS IMMINENT!

May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S Business, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant! Amen.
