No Jesus, no heaven. Know Jesus, know heaven!

No Jesus, no heaven. Know Jesus, know heaven!

 

Jesus said…Mat 5:17-18 ASV  Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.  18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished… When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed his head, and gave up His spirit.

 

Mat 5:19-20 ASV  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  20  For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven… Deu 4:2 ASV  Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you…And He declared unto you his covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and He wrote them upon two tables of stone. Deu 4:13 ASV 

 

The minimum requirements of the Law is the Ten Commandments…Jesus being from the tribe of Judah had only to keep the Ten Commandments to be considered sinless or Holy. Jesus never broke any of the Ten Commandments and suffered our punishment as if He broke all Ten so He could forgive us and teach us His New Laws called the New Testament of Christ… Mat 11:27-30 ASV  All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal Him.  28  Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light…Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;  32  and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Joh 8:31-32 ASV 

 

Jesus said if you continue in His word you will know the truth…not be told the truth. Many of us have learned how to become a Christian from preaching, reading, and other forms of teaching…after being baptized into Christ the promise of the Holy Spirit keeps you in the will of God  revealing the needed truth so we can practice the truth and not offend God…look at Mary the mother of Jesus…she was told by an angel of her purpose…not by a voice on the wind!

 

Jesus said take His Yoke (being interpreted means His teaching) and you will find rest for your souls…rest for the souls comes by being delivered from temptation and testing. Do you want to be tempted? Or Tested…yes or no? Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing…listen…

Blessed is the man that endures temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love Him.  13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no man:  14  but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.  15  Then the lust, when it hath conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is full grown, bringeth forth death.  16  Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.  17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.  18  Of His own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures. Jas 1:12-18 ASV 

 

So have you asked the Author of salvation to write you a plan of reconciliation with God…yes or no? He is the Good Shepherd which leads us with the truth and as long as we practice His Truth or His teachings, we find rest from trial and temptations…1Co 10:12-14 ASV  Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall.  13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.  14  Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry… Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that hour which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev 3:10 ASV There will be a hour of trial of temptation every soul on earth will have to endure in the end near the final coming of Jesus.

 

Act 17:30-31 ASV  The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commands men that they should all everywhere repent:  31  inasmuch as He hath appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.

 

Joh 3:16-17 ASV  For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten(Fathered Human) Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life.  17  For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him…though He was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which He suffered;  9  and having been made perfect, He became unto all them that obey Him the author of eternal salvation Heb 5:8-9 ASV.

Jesus said Mar 16:16 ASV  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (chooses to ignore the facts of Jesus dying and being raised from the dead) shall be condemned.

 

Do you want to be saved with rest for your soul and obey Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts 22:8)…yes or no? Will you be baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

 

Father please meet our souls deepest needs and please give us rest for our souls so we can grow and learn to be like You without falling for temptation…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
