T#061 THE OBEYING (Romans 10:16, 2nd Thessalonians 1:8, 1st Peter 4:17) of THE GOSPEL of PRIME IMPORTANCE!



(According to Paul Himself)


SCRIPTURES


Comments / Sharing

     Paul: “For after all it is only just for GOD to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when THE LORD JESUS shall be revealed from heaven with HIS mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know GOD and to them who do not OBEY THE GOSPEL of our LORD JESUS.” – 

(2nd Thessalonians 1:6-8)

At that time, there will be retribution for people who may know GOD but who do not obey THE GOSPEL of our LORD JESUS. Before that time comes --- within our lifetime to be precise, WE  HAVE TO OBEY THE GOSPEL of OUR LORD JESUS TO BE SAVED from that
RETRIBUTION!


Paul: “Now I make known to you brethren, THE GOSPEL which I preached to you, which you also received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast THE WORD which I preached to youunless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that THE CHRIST died for our sinnings according to THE SCRIPTURES and that HE was buried, and that HE was         raised on the third day according to The Scriptures.”
     
---– (1st Corinthians 15:1-4)


THE GOSPEL of prime importance, per Paul himself is:
       
THAT THE CHRIST DIEDTHAT HE WAS BURIEDTHAT HE WAS RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY. And that this very gospel has to be obeyed!

Just as true is the fact: THERE IS A KIND OF BELIEF THAT IS VAIN & THAT --- IF WE CONTINUE WITH IT ---WILL BE IN VAIN for us!!!


     Paul: “For THE SCRIPTURE says, ‘Whosoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed. For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek; for THE same LORD is LORD of all abounding in riches for all who call upon HIM; for whosoever will call upon the name of THE LORD will be saved.” –

(Romans 10:11-13)


Since that Pentecost Day of A.D. 33, there is no more distinction between Jews and Gentiles as THE same LORD is LORD of us all as we become Christians. This is one truth to confront those who still insist on different prescriptions for Jews and Gentiles!


    Paul: “For all of you who were baptized into THE CHRIST have clothed yourselves with THE CHRIST. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in THE CHRIST   JESUS.” –

 (Galatians 3:27-28)


All of us who were baptized into THE   CHRIST have clothed ourselves with THE CHRIST. Whoever have not gotten themselves baptized into THE CHRIST are not as yet clothed with THE   CHRIST!
 

     Paul: “That as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousnessto eternal life through JESUS THE CHRIST our LORD. What shall we say then? Are we to continue sinning that grace might increase? May it never be! How shall we who die to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized in THE CHRIST JESUS have been baptized into HIS death? Therefore, we have been buried with HIM through baptism into death, in order that as THE CHRIST was raised from the dead through the glory of The Father, so we too might walk in the newness of life. For if we have become united with HIM in the likeness of HIS death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of HIS resurrection.

– (Romans 5:21-6:5)

Grace shall reign through righteousness to eternal life through JESUS THE CHRIST our LORD. No less than JESUS HIMSELF said to obey the commanded baptism is to “fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:13-14). How can grace reign if what JESUS HIMSELF commanded and HIMSELF obeyed as an act of righteousness to fulfill is not obeyed by us? If Paul did not obey this commanded baptism, then he can be accused of deliberate falsehood and THE WORD of GOD is not anymore truth when he included himself as having been buried (Romans 6:4) in baptismHow about you?


Are you aware that obeying error will not purify your soul

(>>1st Peter 1:22)?

Shouldn’t each one identify with the death (for the remission of our sinnings), burial, and resurrection of our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST as to obey THE GOSPEL of our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST and become servants of righteousness

(>>Romans 6:18)?

Do you expect to be resurrected to be with HIM at the last sound of the trumpets and forever and ever ------ if you have not in your lifetime become united with HIM in the likeness of HIS death?

(>>Romans 6:4-5)


YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION!
