JESUS declared:
John 5:34
King James Version
34 But I receive not testimony from man:
but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
Are you a believer in JESUS?
If you are, do you love Him with all your heart?
Do you believe everything the LORD said?
Do you believe He is the Savior, and Messiah?
Are you, like this born again watchman, joyfully, and eagerly, waiting for when He returns?
Which could be any moment, as GOD would will it.
If you're not a believer, why aren't you?
What's stopping you from believing in Him?
Who has fed you lies?
JESUS knew what He was up against --
REJECTION.
SUFFERING.
GLORY.
Mark 6:4-6
King James Version
4 But Jesus, said unto them,
A prophet is not without honour,
but in his own country,
and among his own kin,
and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work,
save that he laid his hands
upon a few sick folk,
and healed them.
6 And he marvelled
because of their unbelief.
And he went round about the villages,
teaching.
Luke 24:46
King James Version
46 And said unto them,
Thus it is written,
and thus it behooved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead the third day:
John 5:41
King James Version
41 I receive not honour from men.
John 5:43
King James Version
43 I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not:
if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive.
John 5:44
King James Version
44 How can ye believe,
which receive honour one of another,
and seek not the honour
that cometh from God only?
John 15:18
King James Version
18 If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me
before it hated you.
John 15:25
King James Version
25 But this cometh to pass,
that the word might be fulfilled
that is written in their law,
They hated me without a cause.
John 16:16
King James Version
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me:
and again, a little while, and ye shall see me,
because I go to the Father.
Have they no idea the Words JESUS spoke?
Have they no idea Who sent JESUS?
Have they no idea the SOURCE?
Have they no idea the sacrifice?
John 3:16-17
King James Version
16 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.
John 5:30
King James Version
30 I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will, but the will
of the Father which hath sent me.
John 12:49-50
King James Version
49 For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment,
what I should say,
and what I should speak.
50 And I know that
his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore,
even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
John 15:21
King James Version
21 But all these things
will they do unto you
for my name's sake,
because they know not
him that sent me.
Here's what differentiates believers, from non-believers, and the future set for each:
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 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.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
John 5:24
King James Version
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:25
King James Version
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice
of the Son of God:
and they that hear shall live.
John 8:47
King James Version
47 He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not,
because ye are not of God.
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man
pluck them out of my hand.
John 17:8
King James Version
8 For I have given unto them the words
which thou gavest me; and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me.
The worst, and most damning, sign of an unbeliever:
John 15:23
King James Version
23 He that hateth me
hateth my Father also.
But there is JESUS.
There is Scripture.
There are the prophets.
There are the 12 apostles.
There is the TRIUNE GOD.
And there is the HOLY SPIRIT.
They are witness, and guide, to everything GOD.
John 5:39
King James Version
39 Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:46-47
King James Version
46 For had ye believed Moses,
ye would have believed me;
for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings,
how shall ye believe my words?
John 15:26
King James Version
26 But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
But you can't comprehend, nor absorb, all these things.
Unless, and until, GOD makes you born again.
You need His SPIRIT in you.
Only then will you have a desire to search Scripture.
You will be drawn to the Bible.
And SPIRIT will open your eyes.
In these dark, terrible times, we all need the HOLY SPIRIT today.
1 Corinthians 2:14
King James Version
14 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.
Just so you know how important the HOLY SPIRIT is, let JESUS tell you Himself:
Matthew 12:31-32
King James Version
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner
of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:
but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.
If that doesn't make you quake in your shoes, then you have no idea GOD's WRATH.
Psalm 2:12
King James Version
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
It is time to love JESUS.
To honor Him, to adore Him, and to follow Him.
We have no idea what we're missing out on.
John 14:23
King James Version
23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
Those unsure, unaware, confused, curious, not knowing where to begin, and even afraid, could use this simple prayer:
Mark 9:24
King James Version
24 And straightway the father of the child
cried out, and said with tears,
Lord, I believe;
help thou mine unbelief.
