T#034 THE FAITH, the VARIOUS DENOMINATIONS, and the INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT-CHRISTIAN THAT'S YOU !

Not everyone has

THE FAITH.

(>>Galatians 3:23)

Before THE FAITH

THAT... LEADS TO

 SALVATION

• came to us

• we were held prisoners by The Law

• locked up until THE OBJECT of THAT FAITH

• .... should be revealed.

• So the law was put in charge to lead us

to JESUS

>>Matthew 1:17-21

• that we might be justified through

THE FAITH

in HIS LORDSHIP &

HIS CHRISTHOOD

>>Act 2:14-36

• (>>Galatians 3:23-24)

THE FAITH
comes from

hearing
the message

• and the message is heard through THE WORD

• OF THE CHRIST.

• (>>Romans 10:17).

Referring to
JESUS THE CHRIST

• IN HIM

• and through THE FAITH in & towards HIM

• we may approach GOD

• with freedom and confidence. (>>Ephesians 3:12).

And so it is,

THE FAITH in

THE LORDSHIP &

THE CHRISTHOOD

of JESUS

is not inborn in us.

• THAT FAITH comes to us as a gift (>>Ephesians 2:8)

• from GOD

• through the mouths of

• people who preach THE WORD of THE CHRIST ---

• THE New COVENANT ---

• to us as

• GOD's instruments

• for HIS purpose.

Once in us,

THE FAITH

had better grow and

bear much fruit

to reap for us

the benefit of salvation.

    "While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to JESUS from town after town, HE told this parable: A farmer went out to sow his seed.  As he was scattering the seed,

• some fell 1 - along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up.

• Some fell 2 - on rock, and when it sprouted, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

• Other seeds fell 3 - among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

• Still other seeds fell 4 - on good soil. It grew up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.

    When HE said this HE called out: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." HIS disciples asked HIM what this parable meant. HE said,

"The Knowledge of
the secrets of
The Kingdom of GOD

has been given to you,
but to others I speak
in parables, so that,

• "though seeing, they may not see,
• though hearing they may not understand."

"This is the meaning
of the parable.

THE SEED IS THE
WORD OF GOD.

The people along the pathway are

1 - the ones who hear, but then

• the devil comes and takes away from them

• THE WORD from their hearts,

• so that they cannot believe and be saved.

The people on the rocky portion are

2 - they who receive

• THE WORD with joy when they hear it,

• but their hearing have no root.

• They believe for a while, but in the time of testing

• they fell away. 

THE SEED that fell among the thorns go to

3 - them who hear, but as they go on their way

• they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures,

• and they do not mature.

But THE SEED that fell on the good soil are with

4 - them with a noble and good heart,

• who hear THE WORD, retain it, and

• by their persevering produces a crop."

(>>Luke 8:4-15)

Thus explained by

JESUS HIMSELF

is the
comparison between

the planting of the
literal seed on the
ground and

the figurative seed ---

THE WORD OF GOD,

as they get into
the hearts of
individual man!

As the only start to bearing 

THE much FRUIT >>>

in >>Galatians 5:22-23
>>John 12:24
>>John 15:5
>>John 15:8

LOVE, JOY, & PEACE --- in US

PATIENCE, KINDNESS, &
GOODNESS towards OTHERS

FAITHFULNESS,
GENTLENESS,
& SELF-CONTROL
towards GOD

• KNOWLEDGE by every preacher-teacher of THE WORD vis-a-vis

• the exact situation of his/her hearers as well as

• their possible environment immediately thereafter

• [refer to >>>T#099 for ideas]

• is deemed vital for preachers-teachers as well as their hearers so

• BOTH can contend with and overcome this world

• in all its varied situations!!!

A specific kind of seed
produces always exactly

the same plant and thereafter

the fruit of its kind

–-- irregardless of place and
time.
>>Genesis 1:11-12

• For example: a mango seed,

• whenever and wherever planted,

• when it germinates and grows,

• will definitely bear mangoes and

• not any other fruit different.

In like manner, whenever and
wherever
THE WORD OF GOD

is planted in the hearts of
men,

• when it germinates and

• brings forth fruit

• through BELIEF and resulting OBEDIENCE thereof

• (>>Romans 1:5 >>Romans 16:26)

• consistently produces without exception plain CHRISTIANS,

• converts to JESUS THE CHRIST

• WHO as their LORD

• [Owner-Boss-Commander]

• adds them as those like them who are also being saved

• (>>Acts 2:41-47).

When
THE WORD of GOD

centered

on THE MESSAGE of
THE KINGDOM of GOD

was first planted in the hearts
of people who heard IT
on that Pentecost Day
of A.D. 33

• it germinated and brought forth in the first century

• the persons of those plain Christians:

• the apostles and their hearers of the 7 things they preached to co-disciples in

• THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS!

If only THE WORD of GOD alone in the succeeding years / centuries

• were planted in the hearts of men,

• germinating and eventually bearing THE much FRUIT (>>Galatians 5:22-23)

• of The Holy Spirit in them,

• IT would have produced without doubt

Disciples of THE CHRIST
with these COMMITMENTS

as recorded in

>>Luke 14:26, >>John 8:31,
>>Acts 2:41-47,
>>John 13:35,
>>John 15:8 ....

• just plain Christians

• --- forgiven or amnestied (>>Acts 2:38)

• called out of their busy-ness & pre-occupation

for recognition, fame, fortune, influence & control,
position, power, AND sovereignty

• from human governances &/or even from those different churchES & religions

people of GOD!!! 

What The PURE Word of GOD

(unadulterated) produces in

one century no doubt will

produce in another ....

always

just plain Christians.

The following observation
 therefore needs our

MOST SERIOUS

never-have-been our
consideration as would be
proper

to become our individual
conclusion.

Something else and NOT
THE WORD of THE CHRIST

UNADULTERATED

• MUST HAVE BEEN PLANTED

• INTO THE HEARTS OF THEM

• WHO ARE STILL ASSERTIVELY AT EASE

• IN THESE DENOMINATIONS AROUND

• manifesting intense loyalty to their church

• and their teachings, activities, celebrations, facilities & sites  and different names.

THE PURE WORD
of GOD
as THE SEED

• --- certainly did not,

• --- do not and

• --- will never

produce any and all
ramifications
of these existing

religious sects,
denominations,
and organizations.

There definitely were planted
as seeds
NOT THE WORD of GOD
but something else

(certainly their own
questions, commands, ways,
doctrines and promises) 

that brought about not
plain Christians anymore but

Adventists, Baptists,
Roman Catholics,
Charismatics, Calvinists,
Dating Daans, INCs, JILs,
Episcopalians, Lutherans,
Methodists, Pentecostals,
 Bapti-costals, Presbyterians,
and so on and so forth of

these CHURCHGOERS to
their respective kind only.

• The basis for

• what could-still-be UNITY

• to be expected

• within and among

• the different religions and denominations

• assuredly acceptable to GOD is expressed in

• >>Romans 15:5-6.

"Now THE GOD of Patience and of Comfort grant you to be of the same mind with one another ACCORDING TO THE CHRIST JESUS:  that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify THE GOD and The Father of our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST."

• The unity of mind and accord and

• the glorification of GOD

• must be based

• ON THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD OF JESUS

• ---  ACCORDING TO THE CHRIST JESUS

• (>>Hebrews 1:1-2)

• which means, according to

• HIS DIVINE AUTHORITY,

• THE NEW COVENANT, of which

• HE is THE MEDIATOR (>>Hebrews 8:6)!

TRUE, when JESUS
came, HE was

• born under the Law of Moses (>>Galatians 4:4)

• lived under the Law

• obeyed all of them or 

• fulfilled them all (>>Matthew 5:17-18; >>Luke 24:44); and

• took them out from the way to give us a new and better law

• (>>Hebrews 8:6 and >>9:15).

HE sets aside the first to establish
the second and by
this will, we have been made
distinctively unique from all
others or made holy through
the sacrifice of the body of

JESUS THE CHRIST once for
all --- Jews and Gentiles.

(>>Hebrews 10:9-10)

“Having cancelled the written
code with its regulations, that
was against us and that stood
opposed to us,

HE took it away,

nailing it to the cross.”

(>>Colossians 2:14).

HIS death on the cross

• put an end

• to the validity of The Old Covenant and

• gave way to The New Covenant

• which went into effect on Pentecost Day, A.D. 33 when

• THE GOSPEL (>>Acts 2:14-36) was first preached

• by Peter as THE FACT;

• then, heard .... believed .... and obeyed (>>Acts 2:32-41)

• by the 3,000 Jews that day alone.

Truly, A WRITTEN WILL
is not enforced

until after

THE ONE WHO MADE
IT had died!

(>>Hebrews 9:16-17).

• It is through this written will,

• ”usa ka na-sulat nga tugon” 

• in our vernacular --- dili kasabotan

• that HIS AUTHORITY is in us to these days

• as A COVENANT --- NOT an AGREEMENT

not an agreement but
a take-it-or-leave it-
kind-of-
PAGBUOT

gikan sa NAG-TUGON niini,

TUGON na lang KINI
kay atu-a na SIYA sa langit!

• UG kay tugon na man lang, dapat wala gayoy usbon ni-ini ug dili pun-an o kuhaan!!!!

• KAY dakong pagpanamastamas batok sa NAGTUGON ang pag-usab, pag-kuha, o pag-puno, gikan ni-ini!!!!

LABAW NA GYOD NGA DILI
UNTA ILISAN

ni bisan kinsang mo-dawat
o dili mo-dawat niini!!!!!!!

"While HE was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them and a voice from the cloud said 'This is My Son Whom I love; with HIM I am well pleased. Listen to HIM . . . . (>>Matthew 17:5).

"There is A JUDGE for the one who rejects ME and does not accept MY WORDS:  THAT VERY WORD which I spoke will condemn him at the last day . . .  (>>John 12:48).

THE UNITY among DENOMINATIONS

• acceptable to GOD

• can only be produced

• by & from

• the authority of THE CHRIST

• ---- THE NEW COVENANT,

• the one referred to in

• "The time is coming, declared THE LORD

• (in 600 B.C. yet

• in the days of >>Jeremiah

• as recorded in his book Chapter 31:31-34)

• when I will make a new covenant."

By calling
This COVENANT "new"

• HE has made the first one obsolete

• and what is obsolete and aging

• will soon disappear

• >>Hebrews 8:8-13

THE DIVISIONS

within and among

THE
DENOMINATIONS

• are caused by behaviors,

• teachings and practices

• not found in The New Covenant or worse from

• their achieved miracles in their miracle crusades

• are contrary to what can be found in it!!!

JESUS HIMSELF refers to
them as coming from

THOSE NICOLAITANS.
(>>Revelation 2:6, 15).

• THEY came up from within The Church

• .... after all the apostles died.

• THESE NICOLAITANS (see also >>>T#026)

• assumed the apostles' roles --- DECEIVED

• because apostleship was limited only to the time

• of the founding of THE CHURCH (>>Ephesians 2:20) and

• therefore was only for that time.

• Refer to >>>T#043.

THEY resurrected
the Jewish religion
inside THE CHURCH ----

particularly with
those the Jewish religion
cannot do without:

such as ---

(1) the temple for the Jews then,

(2) the law for the Jews then,

(3) the mediatorial priesthood by the Levites for the Jews as a nation then, and

(4) the earthly promises for the Jews then

---- continuing in
THE CHURCH

in these last
days since sometime
A.D. 96

(>>Revelation 2:9)

THE LORD JESUS
does not want
HER to be with 
anymore !!!!

THEY even
through their
leadership

succeeded to

organize &
institutionalize,

and by so doing
increasingly corrupted

THE CHURCH
from within
HERSELF

• first --- world-wide through The Roman Catholic Religion's own-conceived teachings and practices to THE CHURCH then (>>Revelation 2:20-25);

• then --- countries-wide specifically in Germany & in England by The Protestant Churches that left The Roman Catholic Church (>>Revelation 3:1-6)

• and thereafter without let-up carried on to the present in smaller units by ALL of them who vehemently oppose The Roman Catholic Church but in increasing numbers through their increasing in number organizations and fellowship names by all these sincerely-mistaken NICOLAITAN- DENOMINATIONALISTS who in their perceived success at their claimed evangelization efforts are claiming international influence to the chagrin of The Hierarchy of The Roman Catholic Church!

Because they are
well-entrenched in

their facilities, positions,
titles, privileges, cares, even
in the way they are
greeted, supported and
protected from and by their

members and sympathizers
in THE WORLD of governments
and businesses,

• we are called by THE LORD JESUS

• to be effective

• OVERCOMERS (>>>T#027) to

• the corruptions

• they have brought and are continuing to implement

• among their members in their churches!

I urge you brothers, to watch out for them who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way to overcoming those that are contrary to the teachings you have learned (as are recorded in THE New COVENANT for our anytime reference now!).

Keep away from arguing with them.

For such people are not serving our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST, but their own soulish and not spiritual appetites.

(>>Romans 16:17-18).

Let us therefore,
put an end

to preaching
other things.

• Let us heed all of GOD's commands (>>Matthew 28:20)

• more particularly to preaching

nothing else
but only
these seven (7):

1. Preach THE WORD ....................... >>2nd Timothy 4:2

2. Preach THE GOSPEL ............................... >>Romans 1:15

3. Preach THE CHRIST Crucified, Died, Buried & Resurrected  >> 1st Corinthians 1:23; >>1st Corinthians 15:1-4

4. Preach THE KINGDOM of GOD …......……… >>Acts 28:31

5. Preach THE WORD OF FAITH (that leads to the forgiveness of sinnings)…. >>Romans 10:8-10
  
6.  Preach REPENTANCE (that leads to the forgiveness of sinnings) … >>Luke 24:47

7. Preach THE-1-Baptism to OBEY (that leads to the forgiveness of sinnings).… >>Mark 1:4

*** All these constituted
EXCLUSIVELY; in truth and in
fact, Peter’s preaching on

THAT Pentecost Day, A.D. 33
as follows:

1.   THE WORD, then only The OT can be quoted, >>Acts 2:17-21, 25-28, 30, 34-35

2.    THE GOSPEL --- The Good News, >>Acts 2:15-21, 24-33, 40, 46-47

3.    THE CHRIST CRUCIFIED, >>Acts 2:23, 36

4.    THE KINGDOM OF GOD, >>Acts 2:32-36

5.    THE WORD OF FAITH --- their obedience to their just acquired belief towards THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD OF JESUS resulted to the forgiveness of the sinnings of those 3,000 >>Acts 2:36-37a

6.    REPENTANCE --- their obedience to repent resulted to the forgiveness of the sinnings of those 3,000 >>Acts 2:38

7.    THE BAPTISM --- their obedience to that commanded baptism resulted to the forgiveness of the sinnings of those 3,000 >>Acts 2:38

Let us not worry over
our differences,

• let JESUS take care of them 

• - - - not our intellects, emotions, urges and appetites, and wills alternatively with the dictates of our bodies

• or we are just remaining soulish / carnal and not spiritual!

If JESUS THE CHRIST
by HIS death and
resurrection

• was able to put an end to the differences between Jews and Gentiles

• (the worst of enemies with the widest of differences that history has recorded)

• by both becoming Christians in this end-times

• ---- without getting them to shed off their birth differences,

there remains no
reason why we cannot be
increasingly committed
disciples of our LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST,

• just plain Christians

• instead of continuing to dwell on our differences and

• continue to antagonize our LORD JESUS.

"Examine yourselves to see
whether you are in

THE FAITH;

TEST yourselves

(>>2nd Corinthians 13:5).”

• We are not told to examine others here!

• As Rev. Thomas Green, S.J. in his book Opening to God

• (with imprimatur by Jaime Cardinal Sin on January 4, 1977) said:

• The challenge remains for the Christian himself:

• he must make, and

• take personal responsibility

• for the specific faith decisions

• which determine

• the direction of his life." - - - page 41.

"Tranquil assumptions, in prayer, as in every other way of Christian life have had to be subjected to searching re-examination;" - - - page 14. (>>>T#014)

"Authority alone will not suffice to discover God's will. Authority can help……But authority can never spell out in detail how an individual Christian should live his or her life. Thank God, such a use of authority is impossible; if it were possible, it would keep Christians in a state of perpetual pre-adolescence. The (.......) Christian is not called to this kind of perpetual childhood but rather to be a mature man or woman in Christ." - - - page 46.

If we are to do our share at
getting JESUS THE CHRIST

realize HIS prayer for unity
among the believers

of and in HIS LORDSHIP &
HIS CHRISTHOOD,

• let us exert effort

• at understanding

• how the spread and furtherance of denominationalism

• has resulted to through the years and from here

• make our own insights trigger us

• individually to doing better with & for

• our LORD & SAVIOR, JESUS THE CHRIST:

1.    Overenthusiasm of members of these organizations around, as to get carried away to exalting their relationship with their LEADERS above that to THE CHRIST.

   
    St. Paul admonished those believers when he said in >>1st Corinthians 1:11-13, "My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul", another, I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas", still another, "I follow THE CHRIST."  Is THE CHRIST divided?  Was Paul crucified for you?  Were you baptized into the name of Paul?”
    Shouldn't we stop referring to THE BIBLE if we do not believe every truth and obey every command GOD puts across to us when we read it?  Do we have reasons to hope we can enjoy the benefits of the promises therein if we continue ignore those truths and commands simply because our religious leaders don’t teach them or are silent about them?
   

2.    Believers holding on to traditions. How pitiful personal, family, and religious traditions often take precedence over DIVINE WILL.
    
    Are we not to take heed of >>Matthew 10:37, "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me".

    In another aspect, "the soul who sins is the one who will die (>>Ezekiel 18:20)."

As long as men show respect for their traditions

more than they do for their
LIFE-COMMITMENTS
to JESUS THE CHRIST
and
to HIS WORDS, and so forth
.... (>>>T#001)

as long as we people
do not accept

our individual

accountability

to THE CHRIST,
[>>2nd Corinthians 5:10]

denominationalism
will continue

• to thrive and

• to grow.

   

3.    Men (particularly these Nicolaitans LEADING us instead of ELDERING us) making laws where GOD has not found fit legislating.

   

    The culprit behind this malady is our enthusiasm to teach in all sincerity notwithstanding --- not knowing we have not been given as such by THE CHRIST (>>Ephesians 4:11)!

    We fail to be guided by James injunction in >>James 3:1-2 when he said, "Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways.”

• Instead, we all ought to be just co-discerners, brothers' keepers of one another for GOD's WILL while we are in this life 

• --- failing in this issue, many are continuing to reject the admonition!!!:

"do not go beyond
what is written" in 
>>1st
 Corinthians 4:6

and ended up hit by what
JESUS said in >>Matthew
15:9,

"But in vain do they worship
ME, teaching as their doctrine
THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.” 



and for their members
the instruction:

"We ought to obey GOD rather
than men!" (>>Acts 5:29)

• The passing of the years and

• man's continued neglect to refer to the scriptures

• made these man-made questions and laws as 

• hard and fast traditions,

• additions and

• substitutes to

• THE WORD of GOD

• undetected by the many of us!

If the Bereans were praised

for receiving the message
with eagerness and studying

The Scriptures then to see if
what Paul himself - - - taught
by JESUS HIMSELF for years in
Arabia (>>Galatians 1:16-18)
said was true,

• how much more do we

• ought to do this studying

• the message having reached our ears

• not anymore from Paul

• as he had long died!

• And many of us having failed this studying .....

"Thus you have made
THE WORD of GOD
of no effect
by your tradition
(>>Matthew 15:6)."

• If boats need dry-docking

• to most importantly get those barnacles removed,

• why should not ALL the existing denominations

• without exception strip bare of traditions

• their teachings and

• strictly adhere

• to THE WORD of GOD alone.

• Why be content with revivals and renewals

• which to the dry-docking scope of job

• is only repainting?

• Why paint if the barnacles have not been removed

• for good earlier?

4.    LEADERS in denominations and/or their elected dignitaries in ecumenical councils & alliances compromise with error. JESUS while here on earth and later through the apostles emphatically warned HIS followers of the constant dangers and errors from teachers not given by HIM, leaders among believers (instead of elders and co-discerners only).

    Refer to >>Matthew 24:11; >>Galatians 1:6-10; >>Colossians 2:8; >>2nd Timothy 4:1-4; >>2nd Peter 2:1-3; >>1st John 4:1-3 and >>Acts 20:29-31, among others.

HE further taught that there
could not be any compromise

between HIMSELF and
the devil,

between truth and error,

between sin and righteousness,

between THE GOSPEL each
one of us has to obey
after we hear IT

 and  

their human commands.

Refer particularly
to >>Matthew 6:24 and >>12:30

and >>2nd Thessalonians
1:8-9 among the many!

The authorities in the various denominations can be likened to the owner of a boat in dry-dock.

• By their own decisions,

• by the exercise of their own FREE WILL,

• for reasons of cost, time, availability, demand, sentiments, other exigencies and pressures from their members,

• (as they understood from their intelligence, emotion, urges & appetite)

• they willed to let go of the removal of the barnacles

• in the scope of job and

• instead instruct the short cut of the dry-docking process

• to proceed with repainting "na lang"

the true reason for which is
"convenience in controlling"
while continuing "to
please" their members --- to
inspire more people to get
to their leading,

• ---- contrary to what Paul thinks and did in >>Galatians 1:10.

To achieve HIS prayed-
for unity, there must be
absolutely no compromise
between truth and error,
righteousness and sin.

We should be aware
that just as

barnacles form on boats’ hull
with its

continued contact with water,

• so also their teachings have become

• by its contact with the people

• they very much want

• to convince

• to believe;

• --- forgetting THE GOSPEL itself

• --- "is the power of GOD for the salvation

• --- of everyone who believes" (>>Romans 1:16),

• --- wrongly believing they themselves

• --- and not The Holy Spirit are to make them believe.

Are we inviting GOD to charge
us with subversion

or apathy on this matter?

>>Jeremiah 10:23 says "I
know, O LORD; it is not for
men to direct his ways."

5.    Following personal desires and preferences in religion.

Many do not realize we are
here in this world
for GOD's PURPOSE.

• Without having to narrow down in words

• our obligations to living

• according to GOD's purpose ---

to walk in this world as HIS image in the likeness of HIS AUTHORITY

>>Genesis 1:26-28

• one need to refer himself only to >>John 15:5-6.

"I am the vine; you are the
branches. If a man remains
in ME

and I in him, he will bear
much fruit; apart from ME

you can do nothing. If anyone
does not remain in ME,

he is like a branch that is
thrown away and withers;

such branches are picked up,
thrown

into the fire and burned."

• Certainly we who go through life our way via 

• our desires and our preferences in RELIGION

are not rightly related to JESUS OUR LORD

• if we go by understanding the essence of the above scripture?

Let us consider our
precarious state in the
light of GOD's WORD.

• "Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil”. (>>1st Thessalonians 5:21-22)

• "Do your best to present yourself to GOD as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles THE WORD of TRUTH." (>>2nd Timothy 2:15)

• "ALL SCRIPTURES is GOD-breathed and IS USEFUL FOR teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of GOD may be THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK." (>>2nd Timothy 3:16-17)

Let us ALL REPENT

• --- MagBINAG-O NA!

• --- start changes affecting our whole lifestyle and turn away from sinning and

• --- get started the new life with THE CHRIST and

• --- correct the mistakes we are having as Catholics, Protestants and Denominationalists

--- focusing our attention
not any more
on those activities
and celebrations
we busied ourselves with

• --- but in getting started in building up

• our individual relationship with HIM 

• as THE LORD & THE CHRIST

• of our individual living hereafter!

• GETTING ourselves AMNESTIED
• >>> P#183

• --- steadfastly call HIM LORD and by no other greeting because HE is our BOSS, OWNER & COMMANDER

• --- behave as HIS OWNED because HE is our SAVIOUR

• --- behave as HIS SUBJECT because HE is our KING

• --- behave as HIS PRIEST because HE is our CHIEF-PRIEST

• --- behave as HIS CONVICT because HE is currently JUDGING us in our every wrong step and misbehavior!  

Let us not wait for our
superiors and associates
among us

nor for our counterparts in
their denominations

to REPENT first.

• It is our individual responsibility to be right before GOD,

• to do everything within our power

• to so act that the unity JESUS THE CHRIST our LORD and SAVIOUR prayed for in >>John 17:20-26

• >>>T#045

• will be realized.

Let us remember:
 whether we find
ourselves

in Thyatira, Sardis, or
Laodicea

(Revelation >>2:22;
>>3:3, >>19),

THE LORD JESUS command for
us INDIVIDUALLY is:

R E P E N T kun MAGBINAG-O
na TA!

Let us better stop praying for ourselves if we do not contribute toward getting what JESUS prayed for come true in our lives.

• Let not the differences among us as Adventists, Baptists, Catholics, Calvinists, Lutherans, INCs, Dating Daans, JILs, Pentecostals, and so on and so forth

• discourage us from getting started to be individually one with our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.

These differences are
nothing compared to
the differences between
the Jews and the Gentiles
whom our LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST is continuing
to make one
to being Christians.

• WE ALL CAN BE ONE!

• Let us refer to >>1st Corinthians 7:17-24 (NIV)

• and ask The Holy Spirit to teach us how to listen to

• the teaching of INTUITION,

• the voice of CONSCIENCE and

• THE URGE to be ONE WITH THE LORD.

Pay particular attention to
verse >>19, starting with

the obey-or-die commands in

THE New COVENANT
>>John 8:24
>>Luke 13:3, 5
>>2ndThess 1:8-9
[>>1stCor 15:1-4]
>>Matthew 10:32-33

 
and obeying verses >>17,
>>20, and >>24
is rendered easy

to be OVERCOMERS
>>>T#027
therein!!!

Then in due time we will have
succeeded in setting aside
the names that have only
succeeded to divide us
all these years and let us
wear with confidence the noblest
there is - - - CHRISTIAN.

CAN JESUS COUNT ON YOU?
>>EPHESIANS 4:30!
