Everything was made by Him and for Him. It's all about God becoming part of His own creation and dwelling with His chosen saints forever! That's what it means when it says, "by Him and for Him". All things were created with this in mind. God was planning to become part of His creation from the very beginning. It is literally all about Him!

Baptism is important and necessary to Jesus, and important and necessary to the Apostles as you will see in the scriptures quoted below. So why do modern churches teach that it's not important or necessary? Does baptism save us? No, alone it does not, but it is one part of being obedient to the gospel and obedient to Jesus. It absolutely IS important! It's the act of following Jesus in His death, burial and resurrection, and the act of taking on His name as your savior, your God, your High Priest, and your King. https://newsletters.bibleprophecyandtruth.com/eNewsLetters/JesusIsEverything092622.html

https://newsletters.bibleprophecyandtruth.com/eNewsLetters/WheatAndTheTares083113.html My brothers and sisters in Christ, While we are waiting for the return of our Lord and watching the events unfolding in the world, I'd like to talk a bit about what this life is all about. There's a song written by a 90's rock band called "Creed" that asks, "What's this life for?" I thank my God that I understand what it is for and have knowledge of what the coming days will bring. The Lord created everything for His good pleasure. Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. God hates evil, but he's allowing all this evil in the world for our sake's, so that we can come to Him in repentance and love and He can save us. That's the "why" He's allowing so much evil to continue. The parable of the wheat and the tares... He won't destroy the tares so that He doesn't destroy any of the wheat while doing so. It's so that He can save as many of us as possible. He's growing His crop, so to speak. James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Matt 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net , that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. He's allowing the bad seed to grow with the good seed in order to save as much of the good as possible. Matt 13:24 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares ? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares , ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares , and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Remember that sin changed things... Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. He is making a people for Himself, to dwell with forever! Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying , neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: Matt 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Remember His promises and remember the knowledge we have and where our hope lies within us. 1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. We will soon be with the Lord. Be patient and look for His coming. Tell everyone who will listen. I will see you on that great day! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise your name, Jesus!

One of the deceiver’s tricks is the one that makes us think that somehow heaven isn’t going to be that great. Satan even convinces people that Hell is going to be a big party. I know that because I’ve actually heard people say that they will know all their friends in Hell and how fun it will be. The Hell explained in the bible isn’t anything like a party. And the heaven explained in the bible is beyond what we can even imagine! I mean, really, do you think we have a better imagination than God? We have written stories that have a better ending than the one God is writing? We dream better dreams than God can dream? https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/WonderOfItAll

https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/notes/WhatMustIDo God created all things in order to find a people for Himself that will love Him, and that He can love, forever. He became a man, Himself, as was the plan from the start, so He could dwell among His people as a man with them. He knows the exact, to the miniscule detail, perfect path to weeding out those who don't and won't love Him. So He created everything exactly as He did, to end up with the people that will love Him forever. He knows, with free will, that most will not choose Him, but will instead choose their own will and their own way. So He created a world where we can only glimpse the majesty and glory of God, so we could deny Him if we so choose, without His great and powerful presence causing us to choose out of fearinstead of our own pride. He hates the evil way that man has chosen for himself, but He's waiting, grieving at His heart, saving as many as absolutely possible, before He finally ends the misery and takes over. Then, He will take those that love Him into a perfect new universe, where there will be no pain, and no sorrow, nothing but joy and happiness, to enjoy for eternity! We only need love God, and believe the record He gave us in the Bible, and we can be part of that!

When Jesus said, Judge not, in Matthew 7, He wasn't making a blanket statement, He was saying don't be a hypocrite. Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. First, clean up yourself and your life, then talk to your brother about his. https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/

Jesus told professing Christians of His day to Repent, OR ELSE! This means us, too! Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Jesus is talking about them who have the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which He hates! This doctrine is the same thing being taught today in churches all across the world! This is the doctrine that sexual sin is ok, that being gay is ok... fornication is ok... Are we taking God for granted as most so-called Christians do? Do we say, "Well, I said the prayer, so I'm saved."? Have we read the Bible? Don't we know that this attitude will be our destruction? Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Do we know that the Bible commands obedience, and that no, it does not say that simply saying a prayer will save your soul? Repentance means change! Christianity in the book of Acts and the instructions given us in the Epistles, and from Jesus in His letters to us, the church, was a very serious thing that prompted action and obedience! Jesus did NOT say, first go take care of your family and/or bid them goodbye. Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Are you blatantly ignoring Jesus' point blank instructions??? Are you one of the many who refuse to forsake their family even though they don't love Jesus? Matt 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 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. Matt 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. REPENT, OR ELSE!!! Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Jesus expects our works, the things we DO, to be perfect! Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. This does not imply that we can be perfect, in any way. It means we can submit to God, and obey Him, and love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and THAT is what will make us perfect! Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. When Jesus sent His disciples out on the mission trips, this is His instructions to us-ward in how we should treat those that refuse the Truth. And this includes our family! Mark 6:10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. We don't hang around the world, and be a friend to the world, we shake the dust off our feet and go find someone who will listen! James 4:4 ... know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. REPENT, OR ELSE!!! Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly... For our works to be perfect, we must submit to God in complete obedience, not partial obedience! We can't pick and choose what we want to obey! Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance... Given what Jesus said to professing Christians of His day, do we think this statement applies only to those outside the church??? Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. This includes those who claim to know Christ, but are not obedient! Again, are you blatantly ignoring Jesus' point blank instructions??? Are you ok with sexual sin? Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Rev 2:23 ... and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. God knows your heart! REPENT, OR ELSE!!! Get serious about God! Phillipians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent... Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. REPENT, OR ELSE!!! Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

A lesson on how subtle the lies of the devil are... It may seem like I'm beating a dead horse, or harping on the same subject too much, but the deception in the world is too important! I just finished reading a blasphemous article on a web site professing to be a "bible study guide", where they are teaching that we'll all have a second chance at the second resurrection when the dead are raised to be judged. This is the kind of lie the world loves to hear today. The kind of lie that the lukewarm "Christians" love to hear. It makes you think that you can just deny Christ all you want in this life, and do whatever you want, with the knowledge that you can just repent on judgment day and be saved anyway. Why would someone preach this nonsense? I can only guess that he or she is trying to get more people to subscribe to their service or buy more of their books, so they're willing to compromise on the precious truth of our Lord to gain followers and more money. That is pure wickedness. It is so vile and evil that it makes me sick. It's tickle my ear fancy. It's easy to listen to. It's awful. Jesus very clearly tells us in His word that there will be no second chances after you're given the opportunity in this life to make the right choice. Matt 25 gives us several examples of those who are not ready for Him and have not been obedient to Him when He returns: The ten virgins The man who traveled far and gave his money to his servants The separation of the sheep from the goats God will judge all. He is just and He is true and He is fair. We all have a chance NOW to make the right decision and follow Him. At the judgment seat, there won't be a second chance, and while judgment will be according to works, and we know that works don't save us, we also know that faith without works is dead. If we have no good works, we have no faith. And, without belief in, and obedience to the Lord Jesus, we will not be saved. Jesus told us of two resurrections in John 5:29, one of life and one of damnation. There is no second chance at the second resurrection. When we look at the example of Lazarus and the rich man, in Luke 16, we note that there is no way to cross the gulf between the good place and the bad place after death. At the second resurrection, if your name is not written in the book of life, you will be destroyed - Rev 20:15. In Rev 3:5 Jesus mentions that He will blot out the names of those who do not overcome, from the book of life (overcoming is by obedience to the Lord Jesus). The book of life contains the names of those have labored in the gospel (works that come after salvation and in obedience to the Lord) - Phil 4:3. Everyone who worships the Antichrist in Rev 13:8 do NOT have their names in the book of life. In 1 Cor 6:9 and Gal 5:21 Paul shows us that those who are disobedient will not inherit the kingdom of God (the will not be saved). It's the children of disobedience that the wrath of God is poured out on - Eph 5:6 and Col 3:16. If our name is written in the book of life, we're going to be part of the first resurrection when Jesus returns to gather His people, raising the dead who belong to Him first and then taking those who are alive and remain up to meet Him in the air. If you have not received a love of the truth, God will send a strong delusion that you would believe a lie! - 2 Thess 2:9-12. This is so important! Read that again! Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened, study to show yourself approved, search the scriptures! - Matt 7:7, 2 Tim 2:15, John 5:39. Seek the Lord, knock on the door, study His word and search His scriptures! Allow the Lord to teach you, correct you, and reprove you with His word! If you're reading this and you have not repented and turned to follow Jesus in obedience, then this is your second chance right now! The man who teaches false doctrine and adds to the word of God or takes away from the word of God will not have his name in the book of life! - Rev 22:19 Be careful that you are not deceived by the false teachers! 2 Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: The primary warning of Jesus and the apostle Paul was to warn christians of the abundance of deceit and deception in the last days. Matt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 2 Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Thess 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. READ THE BIBLE SO YOU KNOW A LIE WHEN YOU HEAR IT! 2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. https://newsletters.bibleprophecyandtruth.com/eNewsLetters/JudgementDaySecondChance010817.html
