Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

THE ONLY TRUTH YOU EVER NEED TO KNOW

If you sense the Holy Spirit urging you to read the following, please go ahead and do so for the Holy Spirit convicts man's hearts and leads them to our Lord Jesus Christ.

The first thing to believe is that the King James Version Bible is the only uncorrupted english version of the Bible and hence THE only true word of God.

EVERY word from the King James Version Bible not of human thought or interpretation.

The original text is in Greek but God translated it perfectly into the english version into the King James in 1611 (God can do everything perfectly) and when the english language was established, minor changes were made to spelling and grammar and what we receive today is the King James text revised in 1796.

Once you establish that, then we learn from the Bible that

- God created the entire universe in 6 literal days
- There is only ONE God and He is the God of the Bible
- God also revealed that He exist in Three Persons: The Father, The Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit
- Yet The Father, The Lord Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are ONE
- The Lord Jesus is presently in heaven with The Father, and sitteth on the right hand of The Father
- The Holy Spirit is presently on earth to convict men's hearts and bring them to the saving knowledge of The Lord Jesus Christ

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Before the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth 2,000 years ago as (fully man and fully God), no human was certain where they will go when they die. This is because all humans are sinners and considered unrighteous by God. That is why in the Old Testament, nobody was permitted to call God "Our Father". (Proverbs 15:29).

After the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on earth who bled for our sins on our behalf, those who believe on the Lord Jesus are considered righteous by God and have direct access to him. True believers in Christ are now permitted to call God "Our Father". This is because true believers are now sons and daughters of the living God.

Being made righteous, true believers are now certain that when they die, they will go straight to heaven's glory.

JESUS ONLY

No one deserves to be saved because in the sight of God all are sinners. Our only destination is the lake of fire.

But thank God that He is gracious enough to provide one way to enter heaven's glory. We cannot understand why God is so gracious to offer such a 'simple' way to enter heaven's glory. 'Simple' because simply by truly believing that the Lord Jesus died for our sins is enough to grant us access to the glory. We do even need to do a single good work although true believers will naturally want to do something for Christ once they realise their privileged position.

Today, people are saying we need to do this or that in order to enter into the glory. The fact is that we only need repent of our sins and to truly believe that Christ's death has removed our sins from us. It is as simple as that.
Once our sins are removed by Christ, we can see God. We can stand before the throne of God ONLY because Christ has imputed his righteousness in us. Being regarded as righteous, we can enter the glory and stand before God. As we stand before God, we tremble. We know that without receiving the righteousness of God, we can never stand in front of God.

"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." 2 Corinthians 11:3

BUT MUST IT BE EXCLUSIVE?

If you ask a Hindu, do you believe that our Lord Jesus will lead him to the glory? He will say yes. If you ask him if Krishna will lead him to the glory? He will also say yes.

The fact is that true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ will say that only He will lead them to the glory. The God of this universe has provided a way to the glory and there is only one way.

If that sounds too exclusive, it is. Why is it so exclusive? Because God says so in the Scriptures. And true believers have to be obedient to the scriptures.

Further it is not incumbent on God to provide salvation to anyone. God could have left us as we are, for it is appointed for man to die once, then to face the judgment. Without the Lord Jesus Christ, our judgment will be devastating indeed. What the Lord Jesus Christ did was by sure grace alone.

If we believe totally in the Scriptures without compromise, we also have to accept that the Lord Jesus is the only way to redemption ground and the glory.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND VIEWS

Deu 11:18 lay God's words as forehead bands before your eyes. 15:7 shall not harden heart against nor refuse to help poor brethren. 15:9 have no greed for brother's goods. 17:20 don't be lifted up in your heart over your brothers. Deu 18:22 do not be afraid of false prophets. 20:3 trust God and fear no enemy.

The spiritual active mind knows God and is convicted of sin. God's conviction is not confusing but clear. When it goes to God in true repentance, the blood of Jesus cleanses completely. A passive mind deals with conviction without true repentance and allows demons to nag and attack over and over never knowing if the sin is cleansed.

On repentance, the active spiritual mind sincerely repents by a deliberate act of it's will in obedience to God.

A spiritually passive mind makes compulsive confession over and over for same sin without truly considering the meaning of Christ's forgiveness. And will further accuse others to cover own guilt feelings.

As you can see the passive mind never finds rest.

Many people completely wear themselves out attempting to obtain money and things (‘the better things of life’). But to no avail (Ps. 127:2, Jos. 1:6-8).

As for proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters, have you ever noticed who does the bragging and boasting? It is usually those who are attempting to cover their failures. Are they full of hot air? Or are they showing their rejection of someone higher than themselves.

My view

ONE should not only budget his time but he should budget his energy and strength. He knows approximately what he can endure, what he can accomplish, and what he can do. In other words, he knows the limits of his strength and endurance. He should therefore conserve his energy and use it as much as possible to the glory of God and Christ. The Apostle Paul urged his brethren at Rome to offer their bodies living sacrifices, holy, acceptable unto God, which was their spiritual service. This exhortation comes to every Christian today. No one has a right to engage in even innocent amusement and pleasures and thus sap all of one's energy and not have any strength for engaging in the Lord's cause.
