Remember, it is by the grace of God that you are saved through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember, God doesn't save you because you deserve salvation. He saves you for Christ's sake.

Remember, you can not maintain salvation by your own efforts. We are kept by the faithfulness of God, our Creator.

Being intolerant can be a good thing under certain circumstances. Never tolerate sin. God doesn't, so neither should we.

Never tolerate the idea of multiple paths to the Father in heaven. Jesus didn't when he said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me". Therefore, we are obligated to God and to others, to point people to Jesus, the only door of heaven.

It goes against every law by which nature operates to suggest that there is no God.

Scientific observation requires the necessity for God.

Evolution says that matter evolves into a more complex and organized substance over time. This is proven wrong by the Law of Entropy which demonstrates that matter becomes disorganized or has less order over time. That is an observable fact.

If the universe was eternal, as some suggest, then according to the Law of Entropy, it would have long since ceased to exist, but it's still here.

The universe (matter, time, space) has a beginning. Therefore, it did not exist at one point. There was nothing, then there was something. Since something cannot come from nothing, a being with creative power had to exist prior to the universe's existence.

I declare that being is the God of Scripture. YHWH

God gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for the offering that both satisfied and fulfilled His perfect law. This was done on behalf of sinners, and it pleased the Father.

What this means for the redeemed is, God declares you as righteous. For the perfect law of God is both satisfied and fulfilled, then credited to you, as if you did it. That's grace, God's Riches At Christ's Expense.

When we worship God in spirit and truth, part of that worship is serving Him and others. Often times we hear people say, "If you want to be blessed of God, then serve Him". While that sounds good, it is instructionally improper. Our motivation to serve God should not be to get a blessing from God. He is God, and that's all the reason we need to serve Him.

Worshiping in spirit and truth is rooted in the fact that God loves you, and He proved His love for you on Golgotha, on the cross, where He paid your sin debt in full. If He blesses you in the process of your service to Him, that's all good. Just don't let the possibility of a blessing be the motivational factor for serving Him.

He is worthy because of who He is.

AS BAD AS IT IS FOR SOME TEACHERS AND PREACHERS TO DECLARE A MESSAGE THAT IS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH SCRIPTURE, YOU CANNOT BLAME THEM IF THEY INFLUENCE YOU INTO HELL. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SEARCHING OUT THE TRUTH. THAT IS THE VERY REASON GOD INSPIRED MEN TO PEN DOWN HIS WORD. READ IT FOR YOURSELVES, AND SEEK GOD'S REVELATION OF HIS WORD THROUGH PRAYER. HE WILL NOT WITHHOLD THE TRUTH FROM YOU. SEEK IT WITH A HEART OF SINCERITY.

THEY ARE WRITTEN THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

Perfect righteousness is required in order to access heaven. That is exactly what you get when you rely on Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and for the imputation of righteousness.
He was made sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
This will change the world.

A king wears only one crown because he is the sovereign of one nation.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were MANY crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”

Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. His "many crowns" is evidence that He is the Sovereign over all nations.

If you want to be forgiven of your sins, you have to seek forgiveness from the One who sent to you the Redeemer.

“Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

JESUS!

John 1:11-13

11 He (Jesus) came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

In vs 11, the verb 'received' is in the active voice. This means that the subject, which is "his own" is performing the action. Therefore the subject demonstrates an act of willful rejection of Christ. This was an action of their own choosing, in other words, free will.

In vs 12, the verb 'received' is also in the active voice. Therefore the subject is choosing, of their free will, to take to themselves what is offered. The verb 'believe' is also in the active voice. They were not forced to believe. They, of their free will, chose to believe what was presented to them.

In vs 13, we see being "saved by grace through faith" fully demonstrated. It is an act of God's grace that those who will believe on the name of the Lord are saved. Man can only chose to believe. He can not regenerate himself.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

When we respond in faith to the knowledge of the truth, then is when God, by his grace through our faith, makes us alive in the spirit.

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

It is the good pleasure of God for ALL men to be saved. It is the will of God that begins the process of salvation. It is God who performs the new birth within those who, of their own free, will receive and not reject the Lord Jesus Christ.
