HYPOCRITES and PHARISEES

[Shurwed]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

I sincerely thank you.

 

[Rizakar]

I pray you never ever walk away from Christ and that you will always feel the love of God no matter what ever comes your way in the coming days. We are to always try to pray and help anybody and everybody anyway we possibly can especially those that do not know Jesus as their Lord or Savior in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.

 

[The Encourager]

I understand where you are coming from. So I keep my focus on God and work on building a closer stronger more intimate relationship with God. My love for God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Comforter, the Holy Spirits keeps my heart, mind, and spirit rooted in God's Love. I know God loves me. And I know God loves you. I hope this helps.

James 4:8: Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
1 Peter 1:15, 16: But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Let Us Pray: God I ask You in Jesus’ name let me make drawing close to You, knowing You, loving You, and obeying You my number one goals in life. God as I draw close to You bless me to grow in the holiness of God. God help me and show me how to always seek Jesus as my source and standard of holiness. God also show me how to appreciate and excel in my spiritual gifts and the calling You have placed upon my life. God don’t let me be envious or jealous of others because of their spiritual gifts, callings, and or blessings. But let me focus on drawing close to You, living a lifestyle of holiness, appreciating and excelling in my spiritual gifts, and the call you have placed upon my life for the glory of God. God, please do the same for the writer of this prayer and all those I love and care about. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so in Jesus’ name.

How to be SAVED and have ETERNAL SALVATION !
(IF YOU ARE ALREADY SAVED, PLEASE FORWARD TO THOSE YOU KNOW WHO ARE NOT YET SAVED)

(Mark 16:15 --- 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.)

THE GOSPEL IS 1 COR. 15:1-4!!!

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION​

Many Modern Christian sects erroneously teach salvation is by something a sinner DOES. They claim a person's salvation is dependent upon the WORKS of the sinner. But nothing could be further from the truth of God's word! According to the Bible, salvation is by receiving (by faith) what Jesus DID on the cross of Calvary, when HE shed his blood to pay for the sins of man. HIS FINISHED WORK, done once and for all, is the only thing that can save a Sinner and give him forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

The Bible clearly presents The Gospel in (1 Corinthians 15:1-4):

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Notice the Gospel is what JESUS DID FOR MAN, and NOT what MAN CAN DO FOR GOD!
A person is only saved by BELIEVING in the finished work of Jesus Christ, when he shed his Precious Blood for our sins. This blood atonement was necessary, for without shedding of blood, is no remission (Heb. 9:22). God has always demanded blood for sin. In the Old Testament, God accepted the blood of a lamb. In the New Testament, God accepts the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the LAMB OF GOD, slain for your sins.

The Gospel of (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), has five parts:

1 Christ died
2. For our sins
3. Was buried
4. Rose Again
5. According to the Scriptures

An old preacher once said, "YOU CANNOT PREACH THE GOSPEL WITHOUT PREACHING THE BLOOD ATONEMENT OF CHRIST AND YOU CANNOT PREACH THE BLOOD ATONEMENT OF CHRIST WITHOUT PREACHING THE GOSPEL!"
This is absolute Bible truth! For salvation by Jesus Christ's bloody sacrifice on the cross is the only means in which God offers eternal life.
Just as we see the blood of Christ in the five wounds He bear on the cross, so we too see the blood of Jesus in the the five points of the Gospel.

Christ died. Jesus shed every drop of his precious blood on the cross of Calvary, dying in man's place for man's sins. His blood dropped into the ground.

For our sins. The bible likens sin unto blood in (Isaiah 1:18): "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Scarlet and crimson are the color of BLOOD.

Was buried. Jesus Christ was buried in the same ground in which his blood was spilt. When Abel died, we read the following words in (Gen. 4:10), in which God said: "...the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground." Shed blood speaks to God! (Hebrews 12:24), then tells us the following about the blood of Jesus: "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." Christ's blood speaks as well! What does it say? It says the innocent (JESUS) died for the guilty (us sinners)!

Rose Again. When Jesus rose again, the Bible tells us Jesus Christ took his blood to heaven, and sprinkled it on the mercy seat there (Heb. 9:12-25), where it's still there waiting to wash away the sins of the most vilest sinner! Are you washed in the blood?

According to the Scriptures. The whole Old Testament points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah. He's pictured time and again in all the sacrifices the Jews slaughtered in the temple for the atonement of their sins. When Jesus died on the cross as the sacrificial Lamb of God, shedding his blood, he fulfilled prophecy written of him all throughout the Old Testament.

So there you have it! The BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST is found all throughout the entire Gospel as well as in the whole Bible! And, you can't preach the blood without preaching the Gospel, and you can't preach the Gospel without preaching about the shed Blood of Jesus!

Now, to be saved, the Bible clearly teaches us that salvation is by FAITH, without WORKS (Eph. 2:8-9). Faith in what? FAITH IN THAT SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!
(Romans 3:25-28), makes this very clear:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Twelve scriptural proofs that God shed His own life's BLOOD for our sin:
1) "church...purchased with his own blood"
2) "a propitiation through faith in his blood"
3) "justified by his blood"
4) "made nigh by the blood of Christ"
5) "having made peace through the blood"
6) "blood of Christ...purge your conscience"
7) "boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus"
8) "the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin"
9) "washed us from our sins in his own blood"
10) "redeemed us to God by thy blood"
11) "made them white in the blood of the Lamb"
12) "they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb"

To be justified, or saved, a person's faith must be wholly in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. This declares God the Just one. When a sinner is saved, he cannot boast about himself or his works. He'll only brag upon Jesus who saved him from his sins!
Sadly, in our modern age of apostasy, there are very few who claim to be Christians, that ever preach about the blood of Jesus, and the need to trust in it for salvation. But the simple Bible truth is, YOU CANNOT EVEN BE A CHRISTIAN UNLESS YOU ARE TRUSTING ONLY IN THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

HOW TO BE SAVED

THE KING JAMES BIBLE

Bible Gateway passage: Genesis 1 - King James Version

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good...

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Kadaenreck]

Let us pray many will turn to God as His second coming is closing near.

 

[Naveen Prashanth]

Now I know why many people are walking away from Christ. I have experienced it on this site by narcissist who call themselves Christians.

Walking in Christ is not a road with roses and God tests us in every corner of our life like a metal is tested by fire. We will have pain, suffering and it feel like our life is worth nothing . And the person who endures that pain will always be with Christ in this world and world eternal .
I feel blessed praying to God for others and at the end of the day its God who decides what is best for every individual and how much fire each person can take or walk away from him

I understand how you feel. I too have run into these kind of christians in the past. Pushing Scripture down a persons throat in an arrogant manner while trying to make yourself look like a saint accomplishes nothing.

I understand how you feel. I too have run into these kind of christians in the past. Pushing Scripture down a persons throat in an arrogant manner while trying to make yourself look like a saint accomplishes nothing.

I sincerely thank you for your gentle spirit. Who would think posting a simple prayer request would get firey arrows of guilt, shame, complaining and laziness thrown at you from other christians. But mine did. and Like a Cult many of them are on here giving each other the thumbs up for this behavior. Then they say they are doing it in the Love of God? Really? If this is what the Love of God is about then Count me out. I have been treated with more kindness, Love and empathy by people who do not even know Christ. If that is not shameful what is. I mean How can you read so much wrong in a simple prayer request? They use scripture and then follow it up with their own take on your situation in a clever manner to make it sound like you want to be in that situation, Like in some sick way you enjoy being in the well. That is rediculous thinking. When Joseph's brother's threw him into the well he could not pull himself up and out of it on his own or he would have done before the slave traders showed up. Am I right? When the Jews were being chased by pharoah to the Red sea, if God had not parted the waters they would have been destroyed. Am I right? And some of these people are on here praying for others? Give me a break! I could probably get quicker results if i had hitler or stailn pray for me. Listen, I've prayed and prayed about my troubles and burdens until i am blue in the face and nothing. Is that my fault? According some people on here who claimed to be called by God it is. Yes, I am angry and hurt by this experience and It's enough to make me lose faith in God completely and turn into an atheist....Again thank you for your understand spirit.
