Is Masturbation A Sin When The Object Of My Desire Is My Wife?

When My Wife Is Far From My Place Of Work And I Cannot Have Physical Intimacy, Is Masturbation Sinful In That Context?

Question: What if the object of my desire is my wife because I work far from home, physical intimacy is limited. Is masturbation sinful in that context?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

From personal experience I can tell that masturbation needs a lustful stimulation of some kind to continue, which is sin (Jam 1:14-15). It is like the fire cannot burn without wood of lust being given for burning. Therefore Jesus said that "if your right eye causes you to sin", then contextually goes to the next verse and says, "if your right hand causes you to sin", it is better for you to pluck and cast it out, than for your whole body to be cast in to hell eternally (Matt 5:29-30). Have your noticed the right eye and hand co-ordination that Jesus has revealed in these twin verses. One cannot get the maximum pleasure without the other coordinating to sin and masturbate.

What is it? There are demons that try to enslave through the lust of masturbation and take them all along with them to hell fire. So every believer should overcome this sin by faith and cannot continue to enjoy it without tormenting their soul (2 Pet 2:8; 1 Pet 2:11-12). Therefore the first step is to recognize masturbation as sin (1 John 1:9), second one should seek God to receive mercy and forsake this addictive and hellish sin of lust, which can only be overcome within marriage love and practicing overcoming faith (1 John 5:4; 1 Pet 5:6). All fetish lust are in this category and without doubt is a trap and hook of the evil one (1 Cor 7:5, 9). Grace through faith overcomes always without fail when we receive and utilize it (Eph 2:8-10). Glory to God!

Love with in marriage is the purest God kind of love (1 Cor 13; Eph 5:22-25, 31-33)....it is not only self giving....but suffers long...does not seek its own satisfaction (1 Cor 13:4-7), therefore the bottom line is that self control is one of the fruit of the Spirit that must be nurtured by faith through grace that God provides through our relationship with Him (Gal 5:22-23, 24-25). The Bible states that even when a thief steals, he will want to justify that because of hunger he has done it, but he will be punished (Prov 6:30-31). So when we fail, we should run to God, instead of running away from Him (Josh 20:3; 2 Sam 24:14; Gen 19:19; Zec 9:12; Prov 28:13; 1 John 1:9), so that those who are weak in this area can be protected and covered by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ which justifies us (1 John 1:7). Also it is wise to stay near our partner when married, it is a protection of God that he had blessed every man with to keep him away from masturbation which is self-love (Prov 5:18-19; Matt 22:39). But when partner is impossible to be near us because of our profession (1 Cor 9:5-6), then we must commit ourselves to God and be devoted to Him to overcome it (1 Cor 7:2, 10-11, 27, 29, 32). God along with the temptations, will without fail give every time a way out if we continue to seek Him and want to please Him in this area (1 Cor 10:13)! Glory....to God!!!

When you are a believer in Jesus Christ, God will walk with you day to day (Heb 2:18; Heb 13:5-6), and will help you overcome all the bad habits of "this present evil age" (Gal 1:4) and will keep you from falling in to sin again and again, unless to multiply his grace and keep you intact spiritually in humility, if you are extremely blessed spiritually (Jude 1:24; 2 Cor 12:7-8, 9-10). So that you might be able to glorify God and be a testimony through loving your God given wife, by being devoted to God in chastity, when your wife is not near you, and thus building a godly family for all people to see in your circle of influence that God has placed all around you (Php 1:6; 1 Pet 3:7; 1 Pet 2:12). Praise the Lord!

Is Jesus The Same Jehovah Of The Old Testament?

Is Jesus the God Jehovah? Why Does Jesus Subject Himself To The Father At The End Of All Things? Is Jesus The Lesser God Than The Greater One Who Is God The Father?

Question: Jesus is God, but Jesus is not Jehovah. Period.

Everything under the sun and beyond it is put under Jesus’ feet, but God didn’t put Himself under Jesus’ feet. God still maintains His superiority, He makes sure Jesus is still His subject. And, God makes sure God is “all in all”.

One day in the future, when death is fully defeated, and all dominion, authority and power are destroyed, Jesus will hand over the kingdom to God the Father.

Jesus for now is always sitting on the right side of the throne of God, not on the throne of God.

Jesus is Christ in the New Testament. Jesus the wisdom in the Old Testament.

Now, pls explain your mind on 1 Corinthians 15:24-28.

“Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.” (1 Cor 15:24-28).


Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!

Your statement, "Jesus is God, but Jesus is not Jehovah. Period.", is a statement that has no meaning at all. Do not speak gods of the world which are so many from the list of fallen angels, but when we speak about God, there is only one God according to all true Christians. Paul then speaks about one Lord Jesus Christ "through whom are all things", here you need to understand that when we speak about God the Father, automatically Jesus as the second person of the God head is the one next spoken as the Creator through whom came all things seen, unseen, etc (Col 1:15-17)...to tell us that "we [ourselves] live through" Jesus Christ (1 Cor 8:6). So in wisdom, the understanding about Trinity in the right context should be, that we cannot separately see the Father, apart from the Son and the Holy Spirit, except for the work they have done in redemption and all other things.

In other words, Father God is the CEO of the Trinity, CEO stands for Chief Executive Officer. CEOs are the highest-ranking executives at a company and are responsible for managing the company's operations and resources. They also make major corporate decisions and act as a liaison between the board of directors (Jesus Christ) and corporate operations (Holy Spirit).

Jesus is the Executive Manager and commander of the Trinity and speaks the spoken word, and all angels and everything obeys (John 1:1-5; Rom 4:17; Matt 8:8-9; Jos 5:14-15).

Holy Spirit is the Operations Executive within the Trinity who do the work of all things according to the plans and purposes of God (1 Cor 2:10-11; Job 26:13).

But if you ask who among the three is Jehovah the one God:

God The Father is the Jehovah,

God The Son is the Jehovah,

God The Holy Spirit is the Jehovah.

From the Bible they are one God in their Character of their essence, but based on their work they can be differentiated as three in person who have chosen a particular work to always work in unison to execute the one plan, purpose and will of God! This is what Trinity is!

Jehovah is a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton, which is considered one of the seven names of God in Judaism and a form of God's name in Christianity. The name arose among Christians in the Middle Ages through the combination of the consonants YHWH (JHVH) with the vowels of Adonai (“My Lord”).

Jehovah is a Latinized version of the Hebrew name for God, Yahweh. The name comes from the four Hebrew consonants YHWH, known as the Tetragrammaton. In ancient Hebrew writing, vowels were not recorded, but they were pronounced. The name was held so sacred that it was never written or spoken, and scholars are not sure exactly how it should be pronounced.

You say, "Everything under the sun and beyond it is put under Jesus’ feet, but God didn’t put Himself under Jesus’ feet. God still maintains His superiority, He makes sure Jesus is still His subject. And, God makes sure God is “all in all”."

The above statement is the most absurd one I must tell you because, you project as though there is a serious jealousy within Trinity, that the Father God being insecure, makes sure Jesus is still His subject, that Father God is “all in all”. The fables and stories of pagan gods fighting among themselves is only among the fallen angels. But God the Creator is a holy God, and He is love in perfection (1 John 4:16). They share a perfect love bonding of a union and sharing from the eternity past and will remain the same in the present and future too (John 17:23, 26). Love is never jealous (1 Cor 13:4-7), this is true God's love. So trying to project a God who is jealous against the very person within who work in unison, is not the true Jehovah but a pagan idea you are trying to bring in to the picture. Hallelujah!

Jesus took on the role of a bond servant to serve humanity on behalf of the Father God, so when all rebellion is subject to Christ and only the will of God is done, Jesus will submit all things to the Father and He himself will be subject to Him to continue to share His Love with humanity in the New Heaven and New Earth which will continue for eternity ahead (2 Pet 3:12-13; John 14:2-3).

Does this mean anything of a lesser degree of honor He receives apart from the Father or he becomes of a lesser God than the Father? In fact Christ will continue to enjoy sharing His life and everything He has and owns with humanity to reveal the Father to humanity for eternity (John 14:8-11; Rev 21:1-8; Matt 1:23).

The Holy Spirit being God, never ever chose to reveal himself in any way but to glorify Jesus and the Father in heaven. Jesus chose to glorify the Father and Father in turn glorified Jesus! So there is a perfect unity and unison within the Trinity. Christ and the Holy Spirit are consubstantial with the Father, which means of one and the same substance, essence, or nature, as it provides unity between the three persons in the Trinity.

There is no lesser or greater degrees within Trinity, all the three are co- eternal, co-existent and co-equal. Never they are in competition with one another because they are one in essence of their character, even though they are three in person (Matt 3:16-17; Matt 28:19-20; John 1:1-5, 32-33).

What is a “functional order or subordination?” It means that a Trinity member submits himself to one or both of the other members. But he is not inferior in God’s divine essence. “Subjection” and “subordination” do not mean inequality. The Son and Holy Spirit are equal in deity to the Father. But they chose to subordinate in their roles of their work to him (1 Cor. 15:28). For instance, the “Father” is “the first person of the Trinity.” His function role is superior to that of the Son and the Holy Spirit, that does not mean that the other persons are inferior in their ability of their attributes, but have chosen their roles in humility, love and submission toward each other (Heb 1:8, 5). The Father sent Jesus into the world (John 3:16; Gal. 4:4). The Son and Father sent the Spirit into the world (John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7). Therefore, “Subjection” and “subordination” do not mean inequality.

By the way you should not say being enthroned at the right hand doesn't mean He is on the throne, you don't even understand the simple concept of legal heir (John 10:32-33; Mark 2:7; Heb 1:2), when the heir enthrones (Php 2:9-11; Eph 1:20-21, 22-23), all powers from the throne shifts to the heir in command by the right of inheritance (Gal 4:7; Rom 8:17; Php 3:20-21; Heb 2:8-11), which means after enthronement the heir is the commander of the entire economy of the Kingdom of God (Joshua 5:13-15; Rev 19:16; 21:3). Praise the LORD!

The Son honors the Father by submitting all things to him (1 Cor 15:28; John 5:23), just as the Father honored his only begotten first born uncreated Son, by declaring from heaven saying, "This is my Son obey Him" (Matt 3:17; Luke 9:35-36) to all humans (Matt 6:10; 1 Cor 15:28; John 17:1; 5:23-24; 8:54).

Here are some facts of how Jesus Himself referred to Himself as that God of the Old Testament in the New Testament:

In the New Testament Jesus affirms His deity in many places. In His general teachings, He refers to Himself in the same way God is described in the Old Testament and does the same in twenty of His parables.

God in the Old Testament

I AM (Exodus 3:14–15; Isaiah 48:12)

The Shepherd (Psalm 23:1)

The Light (Psalm 27:1)

The Rock (Psalm 18:2)

Ruler of all (Isaiah 9:6)

Judge of all nations (Joel 3:12)

The Bridegroom (Isaiah 62:5; Hosea 2:16)

God’s Word never passes away (Isaiah 40:8)

The Sower (Jeremiah 31:27; Ezra 34:9)

First and the Last (Isaiah 48:12)


Jesus’ Reference to Himself

I AM (John 8:58)

The Shepherd (John 10:11)

The Light (John 8:12)

The Rock (Matthew 7:24)

Ruler of all (Matthew 28:18)

Judge of all (John 5:22)

The Bridegroom (Matthew 25:1)

Jesus’ words never pass away (Mark 13:31)

The Sower (Matthew 13:3–9)

First and the Last (Revelation 1:17–18)


We can know that Jesus is God because of the following:

Jesus is called "God" in Scripture: (Acts 20:28, Jn 1:1, Jn 20:28, Titus 2:13, Heb 1:8, Isa 9:6, Lk 1:68, etc.)

God created the universe "by Himself" (Isa 44:24), and yet we know Jesus also created the universe (Jn 1:3,10; Heb 1:2; Heb 3:1-4; Heb 11:3; Col 1:13-17).

Only God is good (Mk 10:18, Rev 15:3,4), and yet Jesus is also good (Jn 8:29,46, Jn 10:11,14; Heb 4:15; 1 Pet 2:21,22; 1 Jn 3:5).

God is the only Savior (Isa 4:11), and yet Jesus is also the Savior (Lk 2:11, Jn 4:42, Titus 1:4, Heb 7:24,25; Acts 5:31; Eph 5:23; Tim 1:10; etc. etc.).

God is the only Redeemer (Isa 47:4), and yet Jesus is also the Redeemer (Gal 3:13, 4:4,5; Rom 3:24; Titus 2:13-15; Rev 5:8,9; 1 Peter 1:18,19).

God is King of kings and Lord of lords, and yet Jesus is also King of kings and Lord of lords (1 tim 6:14,15; Rev 17:14; Rev 19:11-16; Jude 1:4; Acts 10:36; Dan 7:13,14).

God is first and last (Isa 44:6, 48:12), but Jesus is also first and last (Rev 1:8,11; Rev 1:17,18; Rev 22:13-16).

Every knee will bow to God (Isa 45:23), and every knee will bow to Jesus (Phil 2:10,11).

God is the Judge of the whole world, and yet Jesus is also the Judge (Jn 5:22,23; Acts 10:38-43, 17:31; Rom 2:16; 2 Tim 4:1; Jude 1:14,15; Mt 25:31,32; Rev 20:11,12; 2 Cor 5:10; James 4:12).

God is "the Rock" (1 Sam 2:2), and yet Jesus is also "the Rock" (1 Cor 10:4, 1 Peter 2:4-8, Mt 21:38-44, Acts 4:10-11).

Only God can take away and forgive sins (Isa 43:25), and yet Jesus is the "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" (Jn 1:29, 1 Jn 3:5, Mk 2:5-10, Lk 7:44-49).

God will not share His glory with another (Isa 42:8, Isa 48:11), and yet God repeatedly glorifies Jesus (Jn 11:4, 13:31;Mt 16:27, 24:30, 25:31, Rev 5:12,13; 2 Peter 1:17, 3:18; Jn 5:23, Heb 2:9).

There is only one Lord, and God is Lord, and Jesus is repeatedly called "Lord" (Jn 12:26, 13:13; Mt 24:44-51, 25:14-23; Mk 13:34-37, 2:8, 12:29-34; Mt 4:10).

God sends prophets (Jer 35:15), but Jesus also sends prophets (Mt 23:34-37).

Only God is to be worshiped (Dt 6:13, 10:20,21; Ex 34:14; Mt 4:10; Rev 22:8,9), and yet Jesus often allowed Himself to be worshiped and the NT writers worshiped him (Mt 2:1,2,11, 14:33, 28:9,16,17; Jn 9:35-38; Heb 1:6; Lk 24:51,52; Rev 5:12,13; Mt 15:25-28; Mt 21:15,16).

Only God is eternal (Ps 90:2), and yet Jesus is also eternal (Micah 5:2).

God is coming and His reward is with Him (Isa 40:10), and Jesus is also coming and His reward is with Him (Phil 2:10,11).

Jesus is the Word of God, and the Word of God is God (John 1:1).

Jesus is NOT His own Father and Jesus is NOT the Holy Spirit, but all three are God, and there is only one God, so that means the ONE God exists as three distinct (but not separate) Persons. The name we give to that is "the Trinity".

Basically from Genesis to Revelation you can see the Trinity emphadized over and over again. Trinity is one of the most powerful truths Bible reveals, which is One God in essence of their Character, but three in person but never seperate from one another in their spiritual relational identity of their essence.

Josh McDowell in his book, The Trial of Jesus of Nazareth explained in this way, "Jesus answered 3 questions; taking a different form in each of the synoptics but all equal in meaning. That He was deity!

An analysis of his testimony will bear this out. His testimony affirmed that;

1) He was the son of the blessed.

2) He was the one who would sit at the right hand of power.

3) He was the Son of Man who would come on the clouds of heaven.

He was condemned by His own confession of His identity under oath. He claimed that He was God!"

He was a "only Begotten" (John 3:16), that is, 'monogene' in Greek, the one of a kind...which means saying the Son of God describes that He was God in the flesh, that is why He was killed by the Jews who understood it rightly unlike our times.

Here are the Scriptures in context that you wanted me to expound, 1 Cor 15:21-28 - "21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all."

The very opening context of the whole chunk of Scriptures starts with the life and death of human in Adam our forefather who sinned and compares it with the perfect humanity of Jesus Christ to reveal how the "resurrection of the dead" was made possible because in Christ Jesus all who believe in him will be very soon one of the coming days will be resurrected in their glorious body (John 11:25, 26; 1 Thess 4:16, 17; Php 3:21).

Here is the most important thing to notice, each in his own order, "Christ the firstfruits", the first order of resurrection took place when Jesus died and then rose again on the third day, all the Old Testament saints without the martyrs were all resurrected back and was seen by many during those days (Matt 27:52-53). But the second order of resurrection will take place at the time of Jesus coming for His Church after the abomination of desolation, in which the rapture of the Church will take place (1 Thess 5:10; 1:10; Rom 2:7; 5:9; Heb 9:28; 1 John 2:28; Col 3:4, 6; 2 Thess 2:3, 4). Once Christ comes for His own, then He will come to rule the earth for a thousand years time along with the Church who will do it from the New Heaven and New Earth in which they are all settled in their glorious body. Hallelujah!

When the end comes in which the Millenium ends, Satan will be let loose from his prison for a short time in which he will go to and fro to convince the kings of the earth to come fight the final battle with Christ and the saints in the city of present Jerusalem in which the Lord from on high will pour out his wrath of fire and will burn the whole present earth and heaven as all the believers will be resurrected in the second resurrection implied in which they will be directly be taken to the new heaven and new earth to settle them with the Church (2 Peter 3:10-13; Rev 20:7-10). Glory!

Here is the key to what Jesus submitting to the Father means, "He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power", so that there will no more be any rebellion but only perfect peace and worship in the new heaven and new earth which will be the only existing world after the Millennium and the judgment of the angels and unbelievers at the White throne of Jesus Christ (Rev 20:11-15).

In other words, Jesus dealing with evil of this world and overcoming it has been done at that time, once and forever. So in God's economy the reigning of Jesus was a temporal one in which the root of evil, sin and Satan has been dealt with once and forever. Hallelujah!

Now that all things work according to the will of God, He who put all things under Jesus feet was the Father who now is honored by the Son who subjects Himself to the Father to perfectly finish the assignment he had taken from the Father (John 17:1), that is redemption of all humans. Because there is no more a redemption work in all the world of God, as all has been done and dusted spiritually forever in His Glory already, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit will reign as the One and only God in essence of their character, but all in all three in person of their person-hood! The character attributes of God include eternal, infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, etc...the person-hood is the quality and condition of being an individual.

Person-hood is having intellect, emotions, and a will. All three members of the Trinity have these characteristics. So all three members of the Trinity have unique person-hood.

Eternity will reveal one God to the saints (1 Cor 8:6; 1 Cor 12:3; 1:9), through Jesus who will be with them in the new heaven and new earth as Emmanuel (Matt 1:23). Holy Spirit as usual will continue in the work of a executive in speaking the voice of God to the saints, He will be the glory of God in all of New Jerusalem which will be connected to the new heaven and new earth intricately (Rev 22:17; 21:1-2, 23, 26). And Father revealing His love to all of them when they are all given access to visit the New Jerusalem and worship Him in spirit and in truth, which is always what He desired from humans and angels voluntarily without coercion, by their free will (John 3:16; 4:23-24)!

The round table discussion that took place in eternity past between the Trinity before the foundation of the world has been fulfilled by that time in purpose, will and in eternal dimension of the plan of God for both humans and angels (Eph 1:4), and therefore God is the one who will be all in all after this forever more.

Yes, "One day in the future, when death is fully defeated, and all dominion, authority and power are destroyed, Jesus will hand over the kingdom to God the Father," because once and for all time Jesus will have no more need to face any evil, and God the Jehovah ((i.e.) the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit (Matt 28:19)) will remain all in all!

Jesus for now and always forever will be sitting on the right hand of the throne of God, in the throne prepared for Him by the Father where He is enthroned with, because it will exist eternally for the Glory of God to be revealed through Him (Mark 14:62; Eph 1:19-20, 21-22, 23; Heb 1:8-9).

Jesus is Christ in the New Testament, because only 2000 years ago He incarnated to become the Messiah the anointed One (Luke 4:17-18; Acts 10:38). Jesus the wisdom not only in the Old Testament, but also in the New Testament where He has become wisdom for us within salvation we have inherited as a gift from God (Prov 4:1-27; 1 Cor 1:30).

When God's project in his economy gets established, only God will remain as the one and only unchangeable God of the whole creation to be worshiped, served and revered for eternity by his subjects who are the creations which He has created for Himself and His Glory.

Glory to God!

Is Trinity Biblical?

Does the Bible Support Trinity?

Question: Is Trinity Biblical? Does the Bible support Trinity? Why the word Trinity is not in the Bible?


Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

The Trinity is a mystery beyond our comprehension (Isa. 40:18; Rom. 11:33–36).

But even though the word 'Trinity' is not in the Bible, it is a word coined by the Church Father Tertullian who lived around 155-200 AD from Latin, to keep the concept of one God, three in Person intact, so that wrong doctrine, heresy and confusion can be kept out of true Christianity.

The doctrine of the Trinity means that there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct Persons — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Stated differently, God is one in essence and three in person.

Scripture has the ample evidence of this trinity, which was promoted by the Church.

And this teaching gives us a glimpse into the incomprehensible greatness of God which Benjamin Needler preached: "This doctrine should establish us in the truth of the gospel, … For my part, I would not worship that God that I could comprehend … Bless God for the clear discovery of this truth under the gospel!"

The Trinity is the perfect loving community of three Persons who are satisfied perfectly in fellowship with each other. They have eternally (John 17:5, 24) sought to glorify each other (Phil. 2:5–11). And God created humankind to share that same love, so that we can understand Him more and more eternally (John 17:21–26; Acts 17:25).

In other words, to really understand the very concept of Trinity, we must plan on studying verses in each section to prove to ourself and others that the Bible does claim that God is a Trinity. Hallelujah!

The one who was called the prince of preachers, Charles Spurgeon said regarding Trinity, "Learn, then, O believer, to love all the persons of the Divine Trinity alike. But as they are one in creation, so are they one in salvation working together in one God for our salvation, and unto that God be glory everlasting, world without end, Amen. It needs the Trinity to make a Christian, it needs the Trinity to cheer a Christian, it needs the Trinity to complete a Christian, it needs the Trinity to create in a Christian the hope of glory.”

Scriptural evidence supports every element proving the Trinity.

1. There is one God

2. God’s “One-ness” is his One divine essence

3. The three members of the Trinity are Persons

4. All three Persons of the Trinity are God. For example they:

Are called God

Possess God’s attributes

Perform acts of God

5. The New Testament lists all three Persons of the Trinity simultaneously

The Trinity is listed together

All three Persons function together

6. Each Person of the Trinity is distinct

There is a functional order within the Trinity

7. The Trinity is not a contradiction

8. Conclusion: Scripture teaches the Trinity.

Thus again we remember Charles Spurgeon who said, "Trinity in Unity, and Unity in Trinity was not an optional appendage to the gospel, rather a “gospel without belief in the living, and true God… [was] a rope of sand.” When it came to the Trinity, life and death hung in the balance."

If you ask me, what is Trinity to you in the times we live?

I can answer without a second thought, Trinity is the most important thing and the doctrine to believe in the right deity, the uncreated, the one and only God, who created all things and rules the world without end, who the Bible projects as the one and only truth which Jesus spoke and embodied, so that we could hold on to eternal life.

Is The New Testament That Jesus Taught Really Greater Than Old Testament?

What Does It Really Mean When Jesus Says, Turn The Other Cheek, Go The Extra Mile And Let Him Have Thy Cloak Also?

Question: You look to the context always you say, so and if your can tell me the correct and true meaning of these three sayings, 1) Turn the other cheek 2) Go the extra mile 3)... If any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.


Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

Here are the verses you have discussed above, "38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away." (Matt 5:38-42).

In the above verses, we see how the New Testament faith and grace that comes out of it which is grounded on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus is more powerful than the Old Testament law given by Moses that just established justice and equality among humans in the light of God's righteousness (John 1:17).

Jesus teaches a higher standard of living under the Sovereign hand of God, by which vengeance is left to him to take, and not by us or even the governments of the world that he has instituted to execute it on behalf of Him, of which they have failed consistently through bribe, favoritism and selfishness of all kind since the beginning of time (Rom 12:17-21; Deut 16:19; 1 Cor 6:1, 4-8).

1) Don't react and just act in faith (Heb 10:38).

2) Give what you have because God will give more than that miraculously as He owns everything (Psa 24:1-2).

3) All injustices will come back to the offender as God's vengeance, but to the one with faith it will come as double blessings both in an earthly and eternal way, so let go of the things of the earth when you are unjustly and deceptively used as a means to fulfill their end temporally (Job 42:10, 12)!

‘Don't resist an evildoer’ should therefore be read as something like ‘don't turn into the very thing you hate.’ By turning the other cheek, you are defiantly saying to the master, "I refuse to be humiliated by you any longer. I am a human being just like you. I am a child of God. You can't put me down even if you have me killed."’ (Matt 10:27-31).

So Jesus says in effect by calling the unjust and imperfect court of humans, ‘You’re not going to win, so make plain just how absurd and unjust this law is. Take off the little that you have left, and stand there naked in court.’

Carrying the bag for for more than a mile puts the ball of justice against the soldier who have made a person to carry his baggage for 1 mile which is the maximum allowed law to be enforced upon people of the land of Judah by Romans. When reported by the oppressed to the centurions who were commanders, they might take action against that soldier who has broken the law. Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘Everyone in the world knows that Jesus and His teaching is non-violent, except Christians.’ In other words, if we realize that God defends for his own children, then we must choose not to react to the situations we face and respond in the same intensity that people come against us. If we choose to go an eye for a eye, the whole world will become blind, if we go for tooth for a tooth, the whole world of law will become toothless and ineffective!

Acting in faith means, we are choosing not to react in haste and violence, but let God take the right decision to respond in his time and in his way for His Glory.

GLORY TO GOD!

Much Love and Blessings...

Does The Bible Provide Conditional Security For The Salvation Of Believers?

Can A Christian Fall Away?

Question: Does the Bible provide conditional security for the salvation of believers? In other words, can a Christian after being saved, fall away from salvation to go to hell fire because of His works or attitude? Is there a Biblical justification for the falling away from faith?


Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!

This statement is from a group that believes salvation is not eternal but rather is conditional, which means if we fail to walk in faith we may even end up in hell fire. They have stated, 'The Bible clearly teaches that the believers who are justified and saved need to walk the Narrow Road and enter Heaven through the Small Gate (Matthew 7:13-14).' There is a difference between need to walk and if we fail we are followed with the consequent threat? Yes we need to walk in the faith we have inherited from God, but when we fail, God lifts us up to make us walk in the faith he has given us (Heb 12:6; 2 Tim 2:13), because he is the author and finisher of it all, so that we can be confident that He who began a good work of our salvation shall complete it until the end (Prov 24:16; Heb 12:2; Php 1:6).

Does this mean the small gate is to walk in works of faith, big gate is to walk in the works of unbelief? By no means. Actually, it means, if we accept Jesus Christ to get saved for eternity, we have chosen to walk the narrow path or small gate of faith, if we have rejected Him, we have chosen to walk in the worldly ways of unbelief which is big gate every person walks. Why do we say so like this? Because when certain people asked Jesus, what shall we do to do the works that God wants us to do? He replied, this is the work of God , that "you believe in Him whom He sent" (John 6:28-29). In other words, there is no separate work that qualifies any person who believes in Jesus, than to believe Him fully knowing that he cannot save himself for eternity except to believe that Jesus died for Him to be saved from sins (1 Cor 3:11-13). If it is so by our works added to salvation, according to the above statement made, my question is, how is that works can ever justify and save a person ever? Because we all fail now and then to walk in our own way, and will, and place, until God chastises to turn us away and lovingly draw near to us as sons and daughters of God. That means, salvation becomes a conditional gift and is not a free gift from God? 

Does God give salvation and then changes his heart to take it away from us because of our works? If it is so, then God has emotionally saved us like humans when he felt good and when he feels bad humans are thrown away from it because of our bad behavior, which makes him take back his salvation according to his whims and fancies. It makes God so changeable, that we cannot even trust him to know whether we are saved or not? Also it means that God did not know before hand that we are useless and unprofitable servants for him, when he chose to save us from sin by redeeming us, so that later when we show our true color he is trying to discard and discredit us. It shows that God is not omniscient, if he acts like this, but in truth God knew all about our inherent sin nature which drives us and makes us his enemies, unporfitableness and uselessness spiritually for him, but in spite chose us and have called us to be saints in His Kingdom because of His unconditional love for us.    

No humans can ever be saved by our behavior, whether good or bad, wicked or righteous? There is no human who ever does only good and never do evil, whether with salvation or after salvation, it both fits equally well (Eccl 7:20). Why because, we all have the sin nature within us which makes us depart from the Holy God our Creator and Lord of our lives. Only the believers life is different from all the unbelievers, because whenever he does wrong, he asks God for forgiveness and pleads for his grace so that he or she as a child of God might be able to overcome the sin which has caused them to get tripped away from the Presence of God and his holiness. But for the unbeliever who chooses to enjoy sin and walk in the very nature of iniquity, it makes them lose the consciousness of the Creator God more and more even to the point of becoming an atheist. That is the only difference, between the saved and the unsaved. In other words, the believers are saints who sin, unbelievers are sinners who live in sin!

But what does the Bible say regarding this matter? The Bible says, "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" (Num 23:19, NIV). According to the above Scripture, we have a God who never changes his mind and thus the promise of salvation is not temporal, but rather it is eternal and that is why the salvation of our souls is described in the Bible as "eternal Salvation" (Heb 5:9). Hallelujah! Glory to God!


So, Can a Christian fall away?

Even though the Scripture warns all Believers that they should walk in the "newness of life" (Rom 6:4) after salvation, it never tells them to do it as a commandment so that they can be saved. Instead in emphasizes it says that if they are saved, they should walk with God in his holiness out of gratefulness towards God for receiving the free salvation that Jesus has already provided (Rom 6:1-3, 5-8), further it says that each believers should choose to bear fruit of all the godly character in their lives to show to the world in darkness that we as believers belong to the kingdom of light because we are already the children of God (John 1:12-13; John 15:8). So the answer to the above question is a definite NO! Our faith works carries eternal reward, but it can never save us from sin even for a million years ahead (Rev 22:12).

SO SALVATION IS NOT A PRODUCT OF OUR WORKS, IT IS INDEED THE WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS, RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION FOREVER AND EVER, BUT THE WORKS AFTER SALVATION IS A MUST CHOICE OF WORK THAT IF WE STAY CLOSE AND ATTACHED TO GOD WE WILL PRODUCE IT FOR THE GLORY OF OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN WHICH CARRIES ETERNAL REWARD FOR US!

Union and fellowship are two different things in our Christian life. Union happens with God in our spirit to His Spirit when we are saved where God forgives all our past, present and future sins positionally forever, but fellowship with God happens after salvation when we walk with God in our daily life to produce fruit to bring glory and be a witness as a children of God. Conscious sins, pet sins and unknowing sins we commit and omit, these sins when unconfessed and not forsaken becomes a obstacle in our fellowship with God. So we must confess all our sins by faith to God before we can experience the fellowship of the Father in Heaven without any hindrance for the Glory of God!


CHRISTIANS (those truly saved to begin with) CANNOT CONTINUE TO SIN WITHOUT LOSING their REWARD OF GOD IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES in the area of spiritual, soulish, physical, financial and social area of their lives, WHICH IS THE REALM OF THEIR EARTHLY LIVES and FUTURE HEAVENLY REWARD WHICH WILL ALSO BE BASED ON THE EARTHLY SPIRITUAL PERFORMANCE, lived for the Glory of God:


1. Any who depart from the faith (1 Tim. 4:1), even though they might come to the Church, if they are not truly saved by faith, may depart again in to their old way of life and may even stop coming to church in the pride of their own heart to form a cult or even become a atheist (1 John 2:19).

2. Any who wander away from the faith (1 Tim. 6:10), will pierce themselves with earthly sorrows of the world in their lives, but it does not point them in the direction of losing salvation, but the loss of reward and earthly Shalom of prosperity in their soul lives (1 Cor 3:14-15).

3. Any who strays from the faith will lose their eternal reward (1 Tim. 6:21), it will happen only when the pure doctrine of Christ is abandoned by the believer to instead they start to hear the profane and idle chatter and contradictions which will be used by those who boast of their "knowledge" as unbelievers, but through it prove that they do not have anything spiritual within them (Gal 6:3-4; 1 Tim 3:6).

4. Any one as a believer if they cast of their first faith or love which works through faith toward God (1 Tim. 5:12; Rev 2:4-5; Gal 5:6), it shows how weak they spiritually are. In context, it speaks about young women who want to follow the faith initially but then later in their life give in to their fleshly desires to go in their own fleshly ways, the apostle Paul advises that the Church should not be burdened to provide ration to such women but rather to elderly woman who deserve it because they have no support from anybody to run their lives but are consistently devoted towards God and serve the people of God in their lives. Again when such things happen the adversary is given opportunity to speak reproachfully seeing a young woman of faith idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. It is better for such young women to get married and bear children than to stay single saying that they are devoted to Christ and then desire to marry later when they lose their first love and faith! Such people need to repent and do the first works or else will lose their reward in heaven, so must carefully keep their witness before the world of humans who see them as they follow Christ (Rev 2:5).

5. Anybody can make a shipwreck of their faith (1 Tim. 1:19), if they fail to keep their faith intact by keeping their conscience clear by asking forgiveness for their sins they commit. The faith-ship which get wrecked might stay afloat for sometime, but eventually will start to travel without direction and purpose. When it will start to travel anywhere the wind blows, many times it might even get drowned in the world of the sea of sin and darkness of the world or might be taken to some place by the waves of unbelief until it hits the shoreline of physical death (1 John 1:7, 9; Jam 1:6). Ship wrecked faith might make a believer get judged physically by God, as they might be deceived by Satan to even blaspheme the Lord who has saved them and may lose all the eternal reward totally except that their soul will get saved (1 Cor 3:14-15; 5:3-5; 2:5-11). Glory to God!

6. Anyone who fall from grace (Gal. 5:4), are the ones who have tried to set aside the grace of God by believing their own works of righteousness through the law, instead of trusting the works of faith which comes to them by continuing to believe the Gospel of Christ which has been preached to them for the Glory of God (Gal 2:21; 3:3-5). It is a subtle deception of Satan to make people trust in their own works after their salvation, by doing so they lose their great eternal reward because all works done without the guidance of Jesus Christ and his character are of no value eternally (John 15:5), and further without the direction and the power of the Spirit will end up as dead works (Heb 6:1). Anyone who has not walked in the liberty by which Christ has made us free through salvation, and instead choose foolishly to be religiously entangled again with the yoke of bondage by again following circumcision of the law, to him Christ will profit nothing both earthly and eternally, except the salvation that He has given to them for believing him initially will stay intact (Gal 5:1-2; John 10:27-30; 6:37). And also if that person thinks that by keeping the law, God will bless him, he needs to keep the whole law without even breaking one of them, which is impossible without the grace of our Lord Jesus and walking in the law of liberty of love (Jam 2:10; Gal 5:3; Rom 4:4; 11:35). So falling from grace is a term that conveys that even though a person is saved, if he has detached himself from Christ by later trying to justify himself by works before God, he has fallen from grace and therefore will not be able to receive the grace of God that produces fruit and works (Eph 2:8-10; John 15:1-8). Another category of those who fall from grace are those who are exposed to Gospel, but does not abide in Jesus by loving the word of God to be kept in their heart, he or she will not be really saved but rather is cast out as a branch and is withered to be burned in hell fire later as unbelievers who have rejected salvation, they thus have no ability to produce fruit forever and ever without receiving the new nature of God within (John 15:6; 1 John 4:13; Rom 8:9; 1 Cor 3:13-15; Matt 3:10). Such people who have fallen from Grace needs to repent from their dead works and religious works to follow Christ through faith again to be really saved for eternity!

7. If anyone turns you away from Him who called you [(i.e.) God the Father], to turn to a different gospel [of prosperity and health and wealth, saved by grace but getting perfected through works of the law, and the likes...] (Gal. 1:6), that person is in the danger of becoming accursed for troubling the Church and distorting the Gospel of Christ (Gal 1:7-8). Eternal rewards might go to someone who deserves it, when you lose your reward for having turned away from the true Gospel of Christ which gives eternal reward for all the overcomers over sin (Rev 3:11; 22:11-14, 15). So every one who has turned away from the Gospel should turn towards God and repent to receive the eternal reward!

8. If anyone receives the grace of God in vain (2 Cor. 6:1), it means he has denied and rejected the Gospel of salvation which has been sent towards Him by God to get him saved from sin and death (2 Cor 6:2). No human should ever receive the grace of God now in vain, because the wisdom of God to save cannot be useful to a unsaved dead man after his physical death (Prov 1:20-33).

9. Anyone who swerve or strayed from the truth, upsetting the faith of some by spreading false doctrine like saying that the resurrection of believers has already happened, and that there is no more rapture of the Church (2 Tim. 2:18), are those who overthrow the faith of those who believed in the Gospel which restores them from sin now and also helps them live in hope to be resurrected again to live forever with God (1 Cor 15:12-19; Rom 7:24-25; 8:23-25). Every true believer should repent from all false doctrines by holding on to the pure doctrine of the Gospel of Christ through learning it from the Holy Spirit, and clear their doubts from reputed and authentic men and women of God (Tit 2:4-8; Heb 13:7; 1 Tim 2:12-14, 15; 3:5; Jam 5:14, 20; 1 John 2:20, 27)!

10. Anyone who drift away from the truth (Heb. 2:1), is someone who does not give the more earnest heed to the things told to them by the Holy Spirit and the Gospel speakers of the five-fold ministry of God (John 14:26; 15:26-27; 16:13-15; Rom 10:14, 17; Eph 4:11-16). No humans should ever neglect "so great a salvation" which was first spoken by Jesus and by those who first heard him speak who later were witnesses to spread to all people and places around them, God also bearing witness through signs, wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit has authenticated it as sent from Him, that is from the highest heaven which is His throne (Heb 2:3-4). If someone continue to drift away from the truth after they are saved, they might lose their eternal reward, but if before salvation anyone have started to drift, then the way to hell is wide open to consume such persons who has no value for the Gospel which saves them from the wrath of God to come (1 Thess 5:9). So we all need to repent constantly and be saved from all sins continually till we meet God face to face!

11. If anyone has an evil, unbelieving heart, leading themselves and others around them to fall away from the living God by hardening their heart when they speak to us which might influence our heart if we let it freely, we should fear of physical judgment that might come upon us to leave this earth before our appointed time due to our continual disobedience with an insensitive heart (Heb. 3:12). All the Israelites who were saved through the water and they lived under the cloud symbolizing the word of God and the Holy Spirit, died in the wilderness due to their evil unbelieving heart which led them astray constantly (1 Cor 10:1-6; John 15:3; Eph 5:26; 1 Pet 1:23; Luke 3:16). Even if we are saved, and still continue to live without the fear of God, we might even be chastised even to physical death which is the maximum but eternally saved by the works of Christ and His grace (Heb 12:6; 1 Cor 11:27-29, 30, 31, 33). It is no child's play to sin, because if we are playing with sin we will be chastised by God, and if we continue to sin willfully against God by constantly living by the desires of the fleshly nature, then there can be no chance for repentance as it is a gift of God, then we might have to be judged physically by God (Heb 10:26-31; 1 John 2:28; 2 Tim 2:25). So it is better to repent now from living in the hardness of our unbelieving heart, than to regret for the lack of eternal reward when we live in eternity!

12. If anyone is hardened by the deceitfulness of sin (Heb. 3:12-14), the only way out of that spiritual stagnation and darkness that surrounds it is to "exhort one another daily" so that we will repent of our sins to God and not be "hardened through the deceitfulness of sin" (Heb 3:13). In other words, unconfessed sin hardens our heart, but confessing it to God and one another in fellowship makes us be cleansed in the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7, 9), so that we will continue to hold on to the beginning of our confidence of faith steadfast to the end (1 Thess 5:11; Rom 10:17). Even the social media we have can be used in a spiritual way to encourage one another in our faith, and look forward to the coming of our Lord Jesus for the Church as we see the end of end times are upon us all in a unprecedented way (Heb 10:25). Hallelujah!

13. Anyone who fails to reach the promise of entering into His rest (Heb. 4:1), will be because of being disobedient to the voice of God and conviction of the Holy Spirit in failing to believe Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to receive His grace in their lives (John 16:7-11; 1 Cor 12:3). Those who have entered God's rest are the believers who have ceased from their works to please God (Heb 4:9-10), why because they have come to understand that believing Jesus is the work of God that God desires from them and nothing else (John 6:28-29). Also the believers when they feel that when their lives become labor heavy and heavy laden, they go to Jesus and pour out all their cares upon Him because He hears it and then cares to solve it all for them in His time and in His way and in His will through faith of the believers (Matt 11:28; 1 Peter 5:6-7). Until the time comes for the miracle to happen in their lives, the believers humble themselves under the mighty hand of God and the counsel of the elders of the Church, and as a result they take the hardship that they experience as the will of God and continue to face the trial by yoking themselves with Jesus which makes their character get refined and fine tuned to be like Jesus for eternity ahead (Matt 11:29-30). By walking with Jesus in prayer and doing the work of being positive in faith and rejoicing, they find rest for their souls by receiving the joy, peace and righteousness of the Holy Spirit (Matt 11:29-30; Rom 14:17). Until the times comes in the will of God and they receive the miracles of their lives in a moment of time (1 Cor 4:20). Hallelujah! Glory to God!

14. Anyone who falls by disobedience to enter His rest through working themselves through their own religious righteousness to please God may end up frustrated and sorrowful because of failing to keep the perfection of the law again and again (Heb. 4:11; Rom 4:4; 11:35; Gal 2:21; 1 Tim 6:10). Such people need to build up their faith by becoming a disciple of Jesus to believe him and walk in His will and way to enter in to His rest for the Glory of God! Once a person enters in to the rest of faith, God will be pleased through his life and does not want them to draw back to destruction of unbelief, instead wants them to continue as a soldier and a warrior of faith to remain as overcomer till the end of their lives (Heb 10:37-38, 39; 2 Tim 2:3; 1 John 5:4, 5). Hallelujah! Praise the Lord.

15. Those who continue to sin by starting to enjoy the "passing pleasures of sin" (Heb 11:25), will fall away in to sin-confess-sin cycle without true repentance of overcoming sin as they crucify the Lord Jesus Christ again and again as it becomes impossible for them to be restored unto repentance (Heb. 6:4-6). If they open their eyes to the "near to being cursed" situation to again recognize the chastisement of the Lord to turn from sin and again become a overcomer through faith, the blessings of God will be restored back doubly as the Lord is gracious and merciful to all his sons who return back to him in repentance (Heb 12:3-6; 7, 8-11; Jam 5:11)!!!

16. Those who deliberately go on sinning, no longer have a sacrifice for sins (Heb.10:26-27), as the only cleansing blood of Jesus is thrown down by them and even trampled when they love sin more than the God who died for them. So such attitude to love sin must be thrown away and humbled before God at the feet of Jesus, and it must be all crucified by faith so that the judgment of the Lord can be stopped from being executed in such a person's lives through repentance and restoration of faith for the glory of God (Heb 10:30-31, 32; Psa 97:10; Rom 6:3-4, 5). Praise the Lord!

17. Anyone who shrinks back in to unbelief after being saved, God has no pleasure in such a person, but if he repents for his sins to again seek the Lord in faith and humility, the whole of heaven along with God the Father will be rejoicing to see such a person in display before all (Heb. 10:38; Luke 15:7; Job 1:8; 2:2).

18. Anyone who fail to obtain the grace of God (Heb. 12:15), will continue to fail spiritually, until they take a good choice to forgive and let go of all the bitterness and jealousy that has taken over their heart in to the hands of God. In other words, one who loves the unseen God must also learn to love the Brother or Sister whom God has kept before their very eyes (1 John 4:20-21). In other words, Esau was a fornicator spiritually because in unbelief he sold his birthright for one morsel of food (Heb 12:16). He did not realize his mistake, but instead was jealous of his Brother Jacob and wanted to kill him (Matt 5:21-26; Gen 27:41). Later when he wanted to inherit the blessings of God by seeking diligently with tears, he was rejected and found no place of repentance to receive it (Heb 12:16-17). The root of bitterness against others which spring up in our heart gets used by Satan to cause trouble of hate and violence against others, and make our self defiled by it (2 Cor 2:10-11; Eph 4:25-27, 27, 29-32; Col 2:13-14). So anyone who fail to obtain the grace of God is to fail to get saved, having taken it so lightly in their lives but later in their life realizing how much blessing of God they have missed for neglecting so great a salvation. But then Esau sets his heart right with his Brother, and then God later settles him and his descendants in a hill region with all the physical blessing but no spiritual blessing forever and ever (Deut 2:22, 5; Gen 33:1-20; Jos 24:4; Eze 35:15). Edom which is Esau's descendants are today, Mount Seir (the mountainous region of Seir or the hill country of Seir) is in the country of Jordan. It is known in Arabic as Jibal ash-Sharah. Glory to God!

19. When anyone wanders from the truth (James 5:19-20), when someone who has faith for other person who have sinned (John 20:22-23), and turns that sinner from the error of his ways, that person has saved a soul from physical death and covers multitude of sins. This is true elder-ship of the Church, that bring healing to the body and spiritual health to the soul for the Glory of God (Jam 5:13-18). The Church should never underestimate the power of prayer to change the world and establish the truth of God on earth as it is in heaven (Matt 6:10). Praise the Lord! GLORY TO GOD!

20. Any one who forsakes the right way (2 Peter 2:15), by loving the wages of unrighteousness will be rebuked by the donkeys of the world. If he repents for his own good and gets saved, God will have mercy on such a person. But if he continues to do the works of unrighteousness for more money, to make a business out of the spiritual gifts that God has given him, the end of that unsaved will be eternal death and hell fire (Num 31:8, 15-16; Jos 13:22; Jude 10-11; Rev 2:14).

21. Anyone who becomes entangled in the pollution's of the world AFTER having escaped them by hearing the Gospel of freedom and liberty, and then they begin to use the freedom to love sin and become entangled and overcome by it (2 Peter 2:20-21), it would have been better if they had not heard the Gospel because at the end of their life in this earth and then in eternity there will be very severe judgment from the Lord (Jam 3:1; Luk 12:44-48; 2 Pet 2:13-17), which will be so much worse than their beginning when they came to the Church to hear about the good news of Jesus Christ as a unbeliever. Because like a dog and pig their sinful nature continued to work freely without even a slightest change, it proves that they were never saved and never kept the holy commandment to love others and God at all to walk in the righteousness of God, these will be sent directly to hell fire eternally which is the worse darkness and torment than anything they would have experienced before in this earthly life (Matt 26:24). So all the hypocrites of the religious order should repent within the church and in all other religions of the world, to seek the Lord and change from their evil ways and stop making money as a business through the religious gifts they receive in the name of God or gods, or else hell is excited to receive them very soon along with their master Satan and all the demons (Matt 25:41, 46). What ever a human sows, that they will also reap as God cannot be mocked, for the sinner to sin freely and think that God is not concerned about it at all and therefore he will do nothing about it is self-deceived to be led in to their own destruction (Gal 6:7). Glory to God!

In all of the above warnings, not even one verse speaks about God threatening the believers that if they fail Him, they will end up in hell fire. That is not God's way of reaching out to humanity, in fact, Jesus who came from the Father in Heaven, said, "the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10). God also have never told anyone about revoking and taking the salvation he has given to them, instead he has promised to all believers that because they are saved, not even one of them will be lost. We as believers have the responsibility to be a over-comer by faith after salvation, and need to bear fruit so that the Father in Heaven who has called us to salvation in Christ Jesus might be glorified through our lives. Will a investor invest in to a project without expecting anything in return, yet God invested his only begotten Son to die for us, so that in freedom we can bring as much glory as we walk in His will and way, so that our Father in Heaven might be pleased to reward us eternally when we are attending the marriage of the Lamb as the bride of Christ, and then resettle us after that in the new heaven and new earth! Glory to God!


Much Blessings...
