1 | Why do Christians choose Jesus? | John 15:16 | Joel 2:1 | 225535 | ||
Very good eye. This is a very in depth study, but I will share what I can due to time, space restraints.There is a false gospel going out today.(1Timothy 4:1,2Timothy 4:3-4,others) I call it the "Do it YOURSELF salvation program" They teach that you can get yourself saved by just saying you believe (but the problem here is believing is a work,something WE do - salvation doesn't come by works) James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Study the parable in Matthew 13:24-30,37-43 At the end of the world (which is NOW,LOTS of verses on this including 2Timothy 3:5) God will separate the true believers (those who have the Holy Gost) from the professing Christians. They are so identical on the outside that only God can separate them. Also read carefully Matthew 25:1-13, the 10 virgins. These were people anticipating and waiting for the Lords coming, so these are not heathens. 5 had oil (the Holy Spirit) 5 didn't. The 5 that had oil were brought in, the others weren't. Jesus explains in Matthew 13:13-15 that he speaks in parables, so that those who are ment to come in will(the Holy Spirit gives them understanding 1Corinthians 2:6-14), but those who are not will not come in because He has blinded them. Study the Pharisees, they knew the scriptures better than anyone however they were blind to what Jesus was teaching. Study the disciples as they were walking with Jesus, they believed ! But time after time Jesus said unto them, you have seen all these miracles yet you still have not faith ? They all ended up forsaking him when Jesus was taken to be crusified, yet look at the drastic change that took place in them after they received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost! They were willing and DID, die for Him. WOW, now THAT'S the power of Christ. It can be imitated but never duplicated. God is amazingly awesome in His infinite wisdom hiding His truth from the wise and prudent but revealing it unto babes (Matthew 11:25) | ||||||
2 | Who's conformed to the Word? | Rom 8:29 | Joel 2:1 | 225534 | ||
The true born again believers.James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. Also 2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away; behold, all things are become new. John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. Also John 3:5-6 | ||||||
3 | What language isn't understood? | Jer 5:15 | Joel 2:1 | 225533 | ||
In Jeremiah 5:21 it explains "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not' Relates to ICorinthians 2:6-14 specifically verses 11-14 'For what man knoweth the things of a man,except the spirit of a man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man,but the Spirit of God. Now we have received,not the spirit of the world,but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak,not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. | ||||||
