Obedience to this WORD/LIFE

"But Jesus told him, “No! For the Scriptures tell us that bread won’t feed men’s souls: obedience to every word of God is what we need.” (Matthew 4:4 TLB)

Have you obeyed this word of God?

"Repent (from unbelief and all sinfulness/appearances of sin) and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified, for the kingdom of God is near at hand" (Mark 1:14-15)

Have you obeyed this call of the gospel previously and backslidden into unbelief/disobedience/unrighteousness/fleshly-lifestyle

("But when you follow your own wrong inclinations, your lives will produce these evil results: impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, 20 idolatry, spiritism (that is, encouraging the activity of demons), hatred and fighting, jealousy and anger, constant effort to get the best for yourself, complaints and criticisms, the feeling that everyone else is wrong except those in your own little group—and there will be wrong doctrine, 21 envy, murder, drunkenness, wild parties, and all that sort of thing. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21 TLB) ?

It is time to return to the Cross immediately (surrender *all of your efforts/fears/sins/addictions/anxieties/betrayals/worries* to the grace that flows from the crucified body of Jesus Christ so that the power of justice which condemned HIM to *spend 'eternity in hell-fire' because of our disobedience in Adam* will *evacuate the flesh(the sin-producer in man/the real-you) and replace you with the LIFE* that Jesus breathed-out upon creation at the point of His death on the Cross

thus

"But Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed out His last [*voluntarily, sovereignly dismissing and releasing His spirit* from His body in submission to His Father’s plan]. Mark 15:37 amp)

It is this LIFE that tore the temple curtain from top to bottom that is giving *access to any and everybody from any and every location to receive grace of salvation once you call on the name of Jesus to save you*

It is this LIFE that is LIGHT that shines inside and around a believer which darkness *can never overcome*

It is this LIFE that is the NEW CREATION MAN inside each believer(2 Cor.5:13-17 TLB)

It is this LIFE that keeps exerting the *crucifixion power upon our free-will each moment/second we still live on this earth with our mortal-bodies only to manifest the perfect-will of God*

thus

"So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. 13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:12-12 amp)

It is this LIFE that forgave the sins of our past, evacuated the sin-producer(the flesh inside each sinner/unbeliever) and is going to remain inside us to keep us from committing *any type of sin again till eternity*

thus

"Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She answered, “No one, Lord!” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.”] (John 8:10-11)

"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever—" (John 14:16 amp)

"And *He will also confirm you to the end [keeping you strong and free of any accusation, so that you will be] blameless and beyond reproach in the day [of the return] of our Lord Jesus Christ*. 9 God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Cor.1:8-9 amp)

"Now to *Him who is able to keep you from stumbling or falling into sin, and to present you unblemished [blameless and faultless] in the presence of His glory with triumphant joy and unspeakable delight,* 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time and now and forever. Amen." (Jude 1:24-25 amp)

Hence this LIFE does not *approve the idea of using grace as I licence to permit any type/form of sin or the appearances of sin* thus"Jesus said, If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now *they have no excuse for their sin.*" (John 15:22 amp)

"Abstain from *all appearance of evil/sin*." (1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV)

"Nevertheless, the *firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,”* and, *“Let everyone who names the name of the Lord 'stand apart' from wickedness/sin and withdraw from wrongdoing*.” (2 Timothy 2:19 amp)

"All unrighteousness is sin. and there is a sin not unto death" (1 John 5:17 KJV)

The *sin not unto death is the sin that any human being commits and he/she is still biologically alive hence can repent and confess such sins directly in your heart/mouth/mind with *utmost sincerity* to Jesus Christ (this LIFE) and instantly become *restored to Sonship with Christ*

thus

It is this LIFE *alone* that is ready to help any human being *return to our foundation; the Cross* if we ever use our free-will after we have believed to fall from grace back into the flesh/unbelief/any form of sinfulness

thus

"If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]." (1 John 1:9 amp)

Just like He did for the Church is Ephesus

thus

"But I have this [charge] against you, *that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].* 5 So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent." (Revelation 2:4-5 amp)

It is this LIFE *alone* that knows, chooses and engages in the *unique purpose(jobs, business, marriage, vocations, academics, professionalism, science, politics, talents, skills, creativity, inventions) of God* for each human being while remaining pleasing to the GOD; OUR FATHER and CREATOR *without being 'a slave' to the world system of struggles, personal ambitions/explorations and pursuit for money/wealth/fame/power/recognition*

thus

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument],And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own];I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 amp)

"For I(alone) know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 amp)

"just as [in His love] *He chose us in Christ* [actually selected us for Himself as His own] *before the foundation of the world*, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love" (Ephesians 1:4 amp)

"...This is My beloved Son, *with whom I am well-pleased and delighted! Listen to Him!*” (Matthew 17:5 amp)

"The Lord of hosts has sworn [an oath], saying, “Just as I have intended, so it has certainly happened, and just as I have planned, so it will stand—" (Isaiah 14:24 amp)

"[The Lord replied,] “Look among the nations! See!Be astonished! Wonder!*For I am doing something in your days—You would not believe it if you were told.*" (Habakkuk 1:5 amp)

It is this LIFE that owns *all provisions both the ones we can see and the ones we cannot see* thus "The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of hosts." (Haggai 2:8 amp)

It is this LIFE that permits *all provisions to be made available to each and every human being whether you believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified or you do not believe*

thus

"so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; *for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant, those who oppose Him]*." (Matthew 5:45 amp)

This LIFE has *made all the necessary provisions each believer needs on this earth to live a good and holy life* without engaging in any form/type of sin or the appearance of sin thus

"For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature." (2 Peter 1:3-4 amp)

"I have told you these things, so that *in Me you may have [perfect] peace*. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]" (John 16:33 amp)

"Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). *Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me*. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you." (John 14:1-2 amp)

"Heaven and earth [as now known] will pass away, but My words will not pass away." (Mark 13:31 amp)

"*As for God, His way is blameless. The word of the Lord is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless];* He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him." (Psalm 18:30 amp)

what are you *doing living outside this LIFE(Jesus Christ Crucified)* ?

why are you *wasting time in backslidden-lifestyle* without repenting unto this LIFE ?

"Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, *unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God*.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, *unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.*" (John 3:3-5 amp)

"One day when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, “Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters—yes, even one’s own self!—can’t be my disciple. Anyone who won’t shoulder his own cross and follow behind me can’t be my disciple.

28-30 “Is there anyone here who, planning to build a new house, doesn’t first sit down and figure the cost so you’ll know if you can complete it? If you only get the foundation laid and then run out of money, you’re going to look pretty foolish. Everyone passing by will poke fun at you: ‘He started something he couldn’t finish.’

31-32 “Or can you imagine a king going into battle against another king without first deciding whether it is possible with his ten thousand troops to face the twenty thousand troops of the other? And if he decides he can’t, won’t he send an emissary and work out a truce?

33 “*Simply put, if you’re not willing to take what is dearest to you, whether plans or people, and kiss it good-bye, 'you cannot' be my disciple*." (Luke 14:25-33 MSG)

Jesus loves you, He is interested in your life personally and He wants to save you now and the grace to respond to His call upon your life is *sufficient for you/me*.

Return to His Cross in your heart now, do not try to hide anything about yourself to Him...

Tell Him....

"Lord Jesus Christ Crucified save me for I am drowning in sin/the flesh/curses and on my way to eternal death"

or

"God, Our Father, I come to you now because I know/agree that I am a sinner and I confess all my sins to you, I ask that you wash me with the blood of Jesus Christ your Son who died for me and all human being on the Cross and rose from death for me. I accept Jesus as my own personal Lord and Savior, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, grow me in your grace and knowledge even as you use me to draw other human souls to salvation in Christ for your glory alone in Jesus Name. Amen."

if the Holy Spirit convicted you and you made this decision/commitment, you are welcome to the Family of God.You can get a holy bible, start studying it while asking the Holy Spirit to give you revelation of Jesus Christ who is now the new life that you are carrying within your mortal-body, meet people around you who have been Christians before you and request to do bible studies with them, join any fellowship/church close to you where *Jesus Christ Crucified alone is preached from the holy bible as the only means of human salvation*, make yourself regularly available for bible studies and always ask the Holy Spirit to reveal His Grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ new covenant teachings to you.

You do not need to be afraid of your past, present or future; the Holy Spirit will lead you by Himself into all such situations because HE IS GOD who knows *all the end about each situation even this world from its beginning* (Isaiah 46:10 "*Declaring the end and the result from the beginning*,And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done,Saying, ‘My purpose will be established,And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose,’")

and He will also use men/women as well as cause circumstances of our earthly existence to *sustain you in His perfect-will and righteousness till eternity* thus "Though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of oppression, *yet your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will [constantly] see your Teacher. 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left*." (Isaiah 30:20-21 amp)

You do not need to be afraid of false teachers of the bible as long as you always call *on the name of Jesus Christ Crucified* in any group that you join for bible studies and *it is growth in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ Crucified that is your primary reason for being in that group*, and wherever you go for bible studies keep repeating a prayer in your heart/mind/mouth that the Holy Spirit should *reveal Jesus Christ Crucified in a fresh/new way to your mind/heart*. As long as you have this genuine reason and prayers in your heart, the Holy Spirit will tell you when to ask questions, make contributions, make corrections and if necessary leave that group if they are not ready to *focus on Christ Jesus Crucified alone in their bible studies*.

If you are convinced that we can mutually encourage each others faith, you can send me an inbox message on any of my social media handle.

Great Grace Brethren!!!
