1 John 2:3-6
We know that we have come to know “HIM” if we keep his commandments. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a “LIAR”, and the truth is not in that person.
But if anyone obeys his word, “LOVE FOR GOD IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN THEM.”
This is how we know we are “IN HIM”: Whoever claims to live “IN HIM” must live as “JESUS DID”.
* This is a very clear teaching on who is living “IN CHRIST,” and who is “NOT.” *
* LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND PRIORITIZE WHAT JOHN IS TEACHING ABOUT BEING
“IN CHRIST.” *
* OBEY JESUS CHRIST COMMANDS. *
* LIVE LIKE JESUS LIVED. *
* WALK LIKE JESUS WALKED. *
* DO GOOD ON EARTH. *
* OBEY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. *
* LOVE YOUR FATHER GOD. *
* LOVE YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. *
* LOVE YOUR NIEGHBOR. *
* LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. *
* HEAL THE SICK. *
* PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS. *
* MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.*
The only thing that matters is “FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE.”
live your life before Father God : in Christ.
* BEING A NEW CREATION “IN CHRIST” IS THE GOAL. *
The purpose of Jesus’s teaching is…..
* LOVE FROM A PURE HEART. *
* A GOOD CONSCIENCE. *
* REAL FAITH. *
He rode into Jerusalem on a colt, the foal of a donkey to the praises and adoration of the people. He threw out the merchants and money changers driving them out of the temple court with a whip.
Holy anger rose up within him as he confronted the scribes and Pharisees calling them snakes and vipers.
Jesus did not even recognize his Fathers house because it had turned into a den of thieves.
Where did the house of prayer for all nations go? How did it stray so far from God that the “SON OF GOD” was plotted against by the great religious leaders of that time?
How did their religious ways blind them from the ONE WHO WANTED TO GATHER THEM UNDER HIS WINGS LIKE A HEN DOES HER CHICKS?
If only they knew the THINGS THAT MAKE FOR PEACE. Many who should have received him DID NOT. To as many that DID RECIEVE HIM he gave the right to become the CHILDREN OF GOD.
Through his…..
LIFE
DEATH
RESERECTION
he wrote the NEW COVENANT of God with all mankind with his own blood.
GRACE AND TRUTH CAME TO US ALL THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. For all the promises of God are YES and AMEN to us
“IN CHRIST”.
He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up FOR US ALL….how will he not also with him FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS?
THE WORD IS NEAR YOU. ON YOUR LIPS AND IN YOUR HEART. THE WORD OF FAITH THAT WE PREACH. IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD YOU WILL BE SAVED.
IF YOU LOVE ME….
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
Let us all walk the JESUS WALK and abide in him having his word abiding in us.
1 Corinthians 3:10-13
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it.
But each one “SHOULD BUILD WITH CARE.” For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is “CHRIST JESUS.”
If anyone builds on this foundation using GOLD, SILVER, COSTLY STONES, WOOD, HAY OR STRAW, their work will be “SHOWN FOR WHAT IT IS, because the “DAY” will bring it to light.
It will be revealed by “FIRE,” and fire will test the guality of each person’s work.
*******************************************
Paul taught the Corinthians about Jesus Christ…..
* HIS TEACHING *
* HIS CHARACTER *
* HIS ATONING SACRAFICE *
* HIS EXPECTATIONS *
* ABOUT LIVING “IN CHRIST” *
He laid the “FOUNDATION” of Christ.
We are all required to “GROW IN GRACE AND THE KNOLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
* WE BUILD OUR LIVES UPON THE FOUNDATION OF JESUS CHRIST. *
What our lives grow into….what we build or want to accomplish must be of A “QUALITY” that is strong and enduring.
* THE FOUNDATION OF CHRIST WILL LAST FOREVER, HOLDING UP TO ANYTHING. *
* WHAT WE BUILD WILL BE TESTED BY
FIRE. *
Going about life and making decisions for our future must be with JESUS CHRIST IN MIND.
WILL IT LAST?
WILL IT BE BURNED UP?
IS IT SELFISH?
IS IT THE WILL OF OUR FATHER?
AM I BUILDING WITH KINGDOM MOTIVES?
* GOLD * SILVER * COSTLY STONES * will withstand fire.
* WOOD * HAY * STRAW * will burn up into ashes.
The only things that will last in your life are what you do for Jesus. Abiding in the Vine and obeying our Father is “REWARDED”.
REWARDS ARE COMMING FOR YOUR LIFE
“IN CHRIST”.
REWARDS…..YOU KNOW GOD KNOWS HOW TO REWARD YOU.
Romans 8:1-6
Therefore, there is “NOW NO CONDEMNATION” for those who are “IN CHRIST JESUS,” because through Christ Jesus the “LAW OF THE SPIRIT” who gives life has “SET YOU FREE” from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was “POWERLESS” to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.
And so he “Condemned” sin in the flesh, in order that the “RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENT” of the law might be “FULLY” met in us, who do not live according to the flesh “BUT” according to the Spirit.
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
The mind governed by the flesh is “DEATH,” but the mind governed by the Spirit is “LIFE AND PEACE.”
“IN CHRIST” we are “SET FREE” from the law of sin and death.
“IN CHRIST” we are free from “CONDEMNATION.”
“IN CHRIST” we live according to the “SPIRIT.”
“IN CHRIST” we set our minds on what the “SPIRIT” desires.
“IN CHRIST” we have “LIFE AND PEACE.”
He came to bring “SALVATION” to every person on earth. He also made peace through his “CROSS” between all nations of “HUMANITY”.
“THE SALVATION OF GOD HAS APPEARED TO ALL MEN. God has no “FAVORITISM” of one “”RACE” or “NATION” over the other.
The teaching of “JESUS CHRIST” has been twisted in “AMERICA” right from the formation of our country. It sad but true that racial entitlement and racial superiority have caused suffering for millions of “GOD’S PEOPLE”.
NONE OF THIS WAS GOD’S IDEA….BUT EVIL MEN IN COOPERATION WITH THE DEVIL HIMSELF HAVE TWISTED GOD’S WORD. GREAT WICKEDNESS HAS BEEN DONE IN THE NAME GOD IN AMERICA.
The only way to please “FATHER GOD” going forward is for “NATION REPENTANCE” with a return to the “TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST”.
“IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME….WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY….SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS…..THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN ….FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND.
THE SCEPTER OF WICKEDNESS WILL NOT REMAIN UPON THE LAND OF THE RIGHTEOUSE SO THE RIGHTEOUS DO NOT STRETCH FORTH THIER HANDS TO DO WICKEDNESS.
RETURN TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS.
You ask Jesus in your heart and recieve his Holy Spirit. You know “YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN” because Jesus Christ reveals him to you personally. Holy Spirit shows you everything you need to know about “YOUR FATHER GOD”.
YOU ONLY DO GOOD UPON THE EARTH LIKE JESUS WHO….went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
You love people and help them find their way to salvation and peace and healing. YOU ARE A FORCE FOR GOOD ONLY AND NOT EVIL.
The only thing that matters is “FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” in your life and actions. You walk the “JESUS WALK” because you are a “NEW CREATION”.
You revieve “WISDOM FROM GOD THE IS FIRST….

Ephesians 3:10-12
His intent was that “NOW, THROUGH THE CHURCH” the manifold wisdom of God should be “MADE KNOW TO THE RULERS AND AUTHORITIES IN THE HEAVENLY RELMS,: according to his eternal purpose that he accoumplished “IN CHRIST” Jesus our Lord
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with “FREEDOM AND CONFIDENCE.”
FATHER GOD’S WISDOM IS TO BE MADE KNOWN TO THE RULERS AND AUTHORITIES IN THE HEAVENLY RELM.
THIS MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD IS TO BE DISPLAYED THROUGH THE “CHURCH.”
THE CHURCH IS TO SHOW AND TEACH….
*That salvation is for all people on earth *
*All nations, races, nationalities are one *
*God loves everyone, everywhere *
*That we are all one church body *
*No one is greater or more important *
*That God wants unity in his body *
*This is what Jesus came to accomplish *
* He is the Savior of mankind *
* We are to love one another *
* This is the gospel of Jesus Christ *
*This is the Kingdom of God *
WE ARE TO MAKE THIS KNOWN TO RULERS AND AUTHORITIES IN HEAVENLY REALMS…
AUTHORITIES OF NATIONALISM
RULERS OF RACIAL SUPERIORITY
AUTHORITIES OF TRIBALISM
DICTATORSHIP RULERS
HEAVENLY AUTHORITIES IN OPPOSITION
ANY RULER OR AUTHORITY
EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW
EVERY TONGUE CONFESS
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
“IN CHRIST” WE APPROACH GOD WITH FREEDOM AND CONFIDENCE.
NO ONE IS EXCLUDED!
IF GOD BE FOR US WHO CAN STAND AGAINST US!
I have received an understanding from Father God. Everything “GOOD,” “BENEFICIAL,” every promise of his to us “OPENS UP FOR US…….
“IN CHRIST”
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE “IN CHRIST.”
The bottom line to all of it is “TO HAVE HIS HOLY SPIRIT LIVING IN YOU.”
WALKING IN THE SPIRIT.
BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT.
HIS SPIRIT LIVING IN YOU.
JESUS CHRIST BEING FORMED IN YOU.
FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST’S TEACHING.
HAVING THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY..
The law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ setting us free from the law of sin and death.
We are seated in heavenly places “IN CHRIST

NO CONDEMNATION
NO FEAR
NO SEPARATION FROM FATHER GOD
BLAMELESS
We can do none of this without “TRUST” in God’s plan through Jesus Christ.
We are saved by “GRACE” through “FAITH,” it is the “GIFT” of God.
Believing “THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM” brings us “IN CHRIST.”
OBEYING JESUS CHRIST TO….
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER
PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
HELP ONE ANOTHER
Treat other the way you want to be treated.
Do your part in “THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”
We must have “THE MIND OF CHRIST.” and “DO” the will of our Father in heaven.
Nevertheless the sure foundation of God stands….having this seal….THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS, AND LET EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF THE LORD DEPART FROM SIN.
This is what matters to God….
FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE.
BEING BORN AGAIN.
BEING BORN OF THE SPIRIT.
BEING A NEW CREATION.
*** “IN CHRIST” ***
Philipians 2:14-16
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become “BLAMELESS” and
“PURE,” “CHILDREN OF GOD” without “FAULT”
in a “WARPED AND CROOKED GENERATION,”
“THEN YOU WILL SHINE AMONG THEM LIKE STARS IN THE SKY AS YOU HOLD FIRMLY TO THE WORD OF LIFE.”
This is a “WARPED AND CROOKED GENERATION” that we live our lives in.
We are physically “IN” this world under the “SWAY” of the devil—-but we do not have the “SPIRIT OF THE WORLD” Living in us.
We have not received “THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD—–but, the “SPIRIT OF GOD.”
That we may know the things freely given to us by God.
They are serving “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD,”
and we follow the “FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
“THE GOD OF THIS WORLD IS SATAN. “
“THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE.”
This crooked generation takes on the characteristics of SATAN.
WE, ON THE OTHER HAND ARE BECOMING LIKE JESUS AS WE FOLLOW HIM AND ARE TRANSFORMED BY HIS SPIRIT.
WE ARE REBORN “IN CHRIST,” SPIRITUALLY,
AND CONSTANTLY TRANSFORMING BY HOLY SPIRIT AND JESUS CHRIST’S TEACHING.
If you do not have his SPIRIT, you do not belong to him.
We have not received the SPIRIT of bondage again to fear but of “LOVE” “POWER” AND A “SOUND DISCIPLINED MIND.”
“IN CHRIST” his teaching produces in us….
“LOVE FROM A PURE HEART”
“A GOOD CONSCIENCE”
“REAL FAITH”
The wisdom that comes from him is…..
“PURE”
“PEACEABLE”
“GENTLE”
“WILLING TO YIELD”
“FULL OF MERCY”
“FULL OF GOOD FRUITS”
“WITHOUT FAVORITISM”
“WITHOUT HYPOCRISY”
The wisdom of this “WARPED AND CROOKED GENERATION…..
James 3:14-16
But if you harbor bitter “ENVY” and “SELFISH AMBITION” in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
Such “WISDOM” does not come down from heaven but is “EARTHLY, UNSPIRITUAL, DEMONIC.”
For where you have “ENVY” and “SELFISH
AMBITION,” there you find “DISORDER” and ever “EVIL PRACTICE.”
LET US FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST.
Luke 17:20
Once, upon being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied,
“The comming of the kingdom of God “IS NOT” something that can be “OBSERVED”,
nor will people say, “here it is,” or “there it is”
because the kindom of God is “WITHIN YOU.”
ONE HEART AT A TIME….as many as do recieve him….he gives the right to become God,s children.
By faith in all he did for us…
“HIS LIFE”
“HIS TEACHING”
“HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS”
“HIS RISE FROM THE DEAD”
“RECIEVING HOLY SPIRIT”
EACH PERSON ON EARTH, WHEN THEY BELIEVE THE “GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM HAVE….
FATHER
SON
HOLY SPIRIT
WITHIN THEIR HEARTS—the kingdom of God
We are then ruled by God from “WITHIN US.”
He teaches us the way to live life pleasing to God. Holy Spirit empowers us to walk like Jesus walked. We learn to obey our Father God.
We come to God “IN CHRIST” and this pleases our Father God.
We are “HEIRS” of God and “JOINT HEIRS” with Jesus.
WE SHARE IN EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS FOR US “IN CHRIST.”
ALL THINGS BELONG TO US “IN CHRIST.”
THE KINGDOM OF GOD CAN ONLY COME
“IN CHRIST”
It is the “KING” living in you!
