Salvation in Jesus Christ Alone

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
"The Fact of Christ’s Resurrection
1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,"


Ephesians 1:11-19
"1 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,
12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might."

The Look of Being Born Again

If you have been born again your sins have been forgiven, done and done. Past, Present and Future

Hebrews 9:23-28
"23 Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, NOW to appear in the presence of God for us; (PRESENT)
25 nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.
26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (PAST)
27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation (FUTURE) without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him."

When we fail we are disciplined to return to obedience.

Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"

When we are born again we do not remain in our sin and we certainly don't defend sin. We hate sin that we do and eventually confess to be cleansed not to repeat it again.

1 John 3:8-10 "…8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.…"

Christ does the saving when we have faith in Him. Christ cleanses us ongoing as we walk through life, Christ keeps us until He comes for us, to take us as His wife.

Nothing of ourselves saves us, keeps us or takes us home, He does it all.

Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Read Hebrews 11 to see what faith looks like.

We Have the Hope

Below you will see the quote of my Sister in Christ Brenda, following her comment are my thoughts.

My Dear Sister Said this: 
"Sometimes seeing EVERYONE in a mask, all the sterilization efforts non-stop, EVERYWHERE, it causes me SO much anxiety that I break down in tears. 😥 You don’t see people smiling, everything seems so ROBOTIC and everyone viewing their neighbor like a THREAT with all this social distancing. I am so done with ALL of this, if it weren’t for the HOPE of Christ that lives within me. But it’s getting harder and harder to cope. Not gonna lie. We are being played like a violin."
Gwendolyn Said this:

"This was the point wasn't it, everyone becoming dependent on every word that drips from the lips of the government. Fear of others and depression is beginning to set in with those who do not know Christ. There are many believers who have been tempted to feel down about all this, even me for a skinny minute. Reject it, brothers and sisters, keep your smiles and your hope, give others a reason to wonder what you have they are missing. Then be ready to tell them at a moment's notice.

The Lie of the Miracle of the Nephilim Offspring

The whole idea of angels having relations with women is an attempt of the pagans to make angels as powerful as God. It diminishes what God did in the conception of Christ in Mary. It was a miracle only God could do. Angels are created beings that do not pro-create even among themselves, they have no power to create a human child.

Nephilim are not a result of human and devils mating, they are merely giants that were in the land at the time when godly men married pagan women. To believe there was another conception by a spirit other than God and Mary is a way of negating God's miracle in the conception of Christ in Mary. It is blasphemous and comes from the book of Enoch, which isn't even the Enoch of the Bible who wrote it. It was not accepted as a part of the Bible because it was full of contradictions and unbiblical matters.

Also, let's take a look at the logistics of the matter.

In the Book of Enoch, it says the giants were 450 feet tall. A human child is 30% the height of the mother. That would mean that a 5:2" woman would be giving birth to a 145-foot baby, this is just silly. The angels have no gender, the Bible says so, they do not have the necessary equipment to impregnate a human woman. They have no seed to make babies since they do not procreate. They are a totally different species. God said that "each one after its own kind", meaning one species cannot mate with another one.

Genesis 1:24-25 "“Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and wild animals according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.…"

Once again in these last days, a false doctrine has entered the scene. There are many more but if we know the Bible and think it through in the power of the Holy Spirit we can see how foolish these doctrines are and that they are not of God.

Nephilim Giants Another Big Lie

I groan every time I hear someone say they have found a new book, such as "Enoch." book is the one that speaks of Nephilim. The Nephilim were a race of giants but they were probably only 9 feet tall.

Devils are a different species, they have none of the necessary human seed or equipment to impregnate a human woman, they are spirit beings.

Secondly, God clearly states "each after their own kind" in
Genesis.

A horse does not mate with a cow, a human does not mate with any other species or animal. A dog does not mate with a cat. Elephants do not mate with anything else except elephants.

In the book of Enoch, it claims that the giants were over 400 feet tall, merely because they were angel beings. Why did it not say they were invisible or tiny beings. It is a completely fabricated book full of blasphemies and yet many prominent preachers have bought into the lie that devils impregnated humans.

By the way, it is a counterfeit attempting to diminish the work of God having impregnated Mary. The book attempts to minimize the glory of God the Father coming over Mary by saying devils can do the same thing. This is monstrous at best.

God's Fruit in Born Again Believers

There are many of you who love the Lord who have been rejected by your families, children and grandchildren because you are "too fanatical" about your love for Jesus Christ. Your pain of loss is heavy for you.

I understand that pain but you must move on with your life. Because I have Jesus Christ I do not agonize over the loss of my children and grandchildren.

The world is in a very selfishly oriented bad place and going to get worse. Knowing this I look to Christ for my validation and joy.

Often we fantasize how wonderful it would be to see our grandchildren but in this day of bratty children its not nearly as pleasant as what we think in our minds.

They are becoming just as disrespectful as their parents have been. If their heart would be changed into a new creation by Christ then I could enjoy them but I do not enjoy the angst and prideful superiority that exudes from them. I have gotten on with my life enjoying other people who do not act this way. And, sadly there are not many anymore who understand respect or God's principles of difference to their elders.

Luke 14:26 "“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple."

The word "hate" in these passages is a comparison to how much we love Jesus Christ. We love Him so much that we are willing to give up all family members who do not follow Him. Even all family members who pretend to be Christian but have no fruit.

What is the fruit? The fruit of the Spirit are not actions although they produce actions, authentic actions based on character.

Many people attempt to appear to have the fruit through their actions but they are empty actions because the heart does not have the fruit.

Life is so beautiful when we are able to have even just one friend who understands these principles. The family never comes first, God always does. If the family loves Him this way too, great they can come along, but if not we must walk away to stay close to God.

What is the fruit:
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

A born again believer can discern this fruit or lack of it in others.

God did not give us this instruction to look for the fruit if we could not know.

Fruit of the Spirit are not Works They are Character Qualities of Christ

Matthew 7:15-21
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 So then, you will [c]know them by their fruits.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

The fruit is not works, ungodly, and even wicked people can have works to impress others but they will not have the character qualities of Christ.

What is the fruit: They are character qualities of Christ.

Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

Those who are born again can see these fruit or the lack of fruit.
