Simplicity of Christ…is wisdom unto salvation…

Simplicity of Christ…is wisdom unto salvation…

2Co 11:3-4 KJV  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.  4  For if he that cometh preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him…

The first Christians were warned back in the 1st century…about people who preach a fake Jesus (same name different message) and give out a fake spirit (supernatural is not Holy)…saying we may tolerate these kind of people…

So what is the original pattern of becoming a Christian with the Holy Spirit?

The original message of the cross…

1Co 15:1-4 KJV  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…

The first message of salvation preached in the name of Jesus Christ for salvation…resulting in the promise of the Holy Spirit…the original pattern…what the first people were told to do in order to be forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit of promise…

Act 2:36-39 KJV  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.  37  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?  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.  39  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call…

So have you found the original pattern of what the first sinners who were converted were told…after they confessed to crucifying Jesus…repent or surrender all to Jesus and be baptized for the remission of sins and you will receive the Holy Spirit…

The message of the cross…

Jesus was born under the Jewish Covenant with God and being born in the tribe of Judah…had to only never break one of the Ten Commandments in order to be considered Holy or without sin…and Jesus being born perfect…The Holy Spirit overshadowing the virgin Mary to supply the man’s part of a baby being created…Jesus was born perfect…being Fathered by our Creator so that no man could say they were greater…Jesus was born of a virgin…Jesus never choose to break one of the Ten Commandments and offered His life as a substitute for those who have sinned against God…Jesus was punished as if He broke all Ten Commandments in order for Him to make a way for you and I to be forgiven…He died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later as proof His offer of peace and reconciliation with God is true…

Joh 3:16-17 KJV  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved… Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;  9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Heb 5:8-9…

Our Creator being the Father of mercies…willing to forgive when the first lie was told being the Father of mercies…then Sent His Only Human Son into the world to save the world not condemn it…and Jesus is the Author of Salvation who will write you a plan of salvation…reconciliation and redemption from your past ways of living…will you ask the Author of Salvation…Jesus to write you a plan and purpose in His kingdom for salvation? Yes or no? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead…yes or no? 

Jesus said… Mat 5:6 KJV  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled…do you want to be right with God and fellowman…yes or no? 

Jesus said… Joh 3:5 KJV  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God…He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned… Mar 16:16 KJV 

Have you ever been baptized to obey Jesus…yes or no? Will you be baptized like the first sinners which heard the first saving message of Jesus…yes or no?

Will you agree to read the New Testament of Christ…yes or no? Listen to what Jesus said to those in His day which still applies to the seeking heart…

Joh 8:31-32 KJV  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;  32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will 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…Mat 11:27-30 KJV.

Do you want a light and easy yoke in life so you can have rest for your souls…yes or no?

If you agree to learn of Jesus He will free you up so all you have to do is practice the truth in order to be free of doubt and lies…Jesus will never lie to you…Jesus will confirm or reveal the truth to you so you will not live in doubt and lies…Jesus will give you a light and easy yoke…but you have to follow the truth and do what is right by God and creation…sound like good news…yes or no?

Joh 6:35 KJV  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst… Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?  31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.  33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof Mat 6:30-34 KJV…Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled Mat 5:6 KJV.

Father please help us not to follow a fake Jesus or to be deceived into obeying a seducing spirit…please reveal the truth to us so we can reconcile with you and others in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
