“But we preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23). Right now, brother Paul is focusing on the personal evangelism and the Internet ministry as he preaches on the net ! “Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach , warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus" (Colossians 1:27,28). “For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). “Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13). “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

You must be born again !

There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him". Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marveled that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' (John 3:1-7). “That 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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10). “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:16). “Nor is there salvation in any other , for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Revelation 7:10). “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). The Lamb of God did slain from the foundation of the word in the spiritual realm and when the time came to pass, it revealed in the physical realm, on the Cross of Calvary as Jesus fulfilled the prophesy in the book of Genesis 3:15 saying “The seed of the women shall bruise the serpent’s head.” Jesus bruised the serpent’s head through the cross by reconciling us to God as it is written ^“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:18-21). “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:14-16). There are evidence that it was God who introduced the need of sacrifice as the remission of sins. When Adam and Eve sinned, God made tunics of skin and clothed them as it is written “Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21), for which God sacrificed an animal as it is written “And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us" (1 Corinthians 5:7). “how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14).

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY !

JESUS SAID TO HIM, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME” (John 14:6). JESUS SAID “I AM THE DOOR” (John 10:10). “He who believes in the Son as everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36) “Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also” (1 John 2:23). Again Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me keep My commandments." Jesus said “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21).Then scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a women caught in adultery ! (John 8:3) Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more!” (John 8:11). Jesus repeated that scripture again in another case! Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well, Sin no more, LEST A WORSE THING COME UPON YOU” (John 5:14). Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12). “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:7). “To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life” (Revelation 2: 7).

Then He spoke a parable to them

"Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?' "So he said, "I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry." ' "But God said to him, "Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?” (Luke12:16-20).
Jesus asked “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul” (Matthew 16:26).
“The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:10). “So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).

He who sins is of the devil

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God” (1 John 3:8-9). “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). Jesus said “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish”(Luke13:3). Again Jesus repeated "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:5). “THEREFORE BEAR FRUITS WORTHY OF REPENTANCE” (MATTHEW 3:8). Repentance is from a Greek word "metanoeo" which means "to change one's mind." It speaks of a renewal of the mind from what it was, to something new. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:1-2). Also grace is not a liberty that God gives to allow people to sin with impunity because the very fact that a person is fit to receive grace is an indication that he doesn't want to sin !. We bypass everything necessary for us to see before we will embrace the grace of God. "WHAT THEN? SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNDER LAW BUT UNDER GRACE? CERTAINLY NOT! (Romans 6:15). “But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace” (Romans 11:4-5). Remember God the Almighty gave us the free will to choose and said “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death” (Jeremiah 21:8), and you choose it. “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). “YOU ARE OF PURER EYES THAN TO BEHOLD EVIL, AND CANNOT LOOK ON WICKEDNESS” (Habakkuk 1:13). Because it is written, "BE HOLY FOR I AM HOLY." (1 Peter 1:16). He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." (1 John 2:4). "And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever" (1 John 2:17). “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lust” (Romans 13:14). “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). Cigarette smoking is injurious and defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit as it is warned on the cigarette packets saying “CIGARETTE SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH.” The Word of God also warned concerning the smoking, saying “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him, For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are” (1 Corinthians 3:16). “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 6:19,20). According to the law of reproduction from the Manual of the Manufacturer (i.e. the Word of God), saying “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrew 13:4). The law says “Thou shalt not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14). But the grace says Don’t even think of it ! Jesus said “You have heard that it was said to those of old, "You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28). “Do you want to go to the eternal hell because of just for a few fleeting moments of sexual pleasure on this temporary earth by fornication? “Nevertheless, BECAUSE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY, let each man have his own wife, and let each women have her own husband” (1 Corinthians 7:2) “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9,8). “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8). Jesus said "And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down” (Luke 13:9). “And even now the ax is laid to the root of the tree. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire” (Matthew 3:10). “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:19-21).

Jesus is coming for His glorious church

“That He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27). Jesus said in the book of Luke “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Luke 12:40). “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints” (Revelation 19:7-8). “Behold, I am coming as a thief, Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame” (Revelation 16:15). “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection, Over such the second death has no power” (Revelation 20:6). Jesus said “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man” (Luke 17:26). BE FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE” (Revelation 2:10). “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which Lord has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12). “For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:2-3). “Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”(2 Corinthians 7:1). “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you” (Philippians 4:8-9).

Not willing that any should perish !

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:9,10).

These words are true and faithful !

“And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful.' And He said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." Revelation 21:5,6 And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:12,13 Behold, I am coming quickly ! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."(Revelation 22:7). “Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."' "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them” (Revelation 14:13). “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). “He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20).
