Growing Closer To Jesus Daily
Because of the subtle craftiness of men, people have perverted the true gospel message and led millions of people astray.
There are no second chances after death. Our works are finished and will be used for or against us in judgment. Are you ready?
1 Corinthians 15:16-18 (KJV)
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
Our faith means nothing if Jesus never rose from the grave. Thankfully, He defeated the grave and is alive and working today.
If people would be more open to share the gospel message with people, the Lord would use them for His glory.
1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJV)
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJV)
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected the third day. This is the gospel we preach. Even forgiveness of sins through Christ crucified.
We cannot hide anything from God’s presence. These hidden sins are before Him. Therefore, confess them, that He may help you.
If you love Jesus then you will not be ashamed to tell others about Him. How He died for our sins and has the power to save us.
God has been using people for centuries to do His work in His vineyard. The question is, are you allowing God to use you?
Jesus asks that we repent and believe the gospel. That Jesus died for our sins on the cross and rose from the dead the third day.
So let’s examine what the gospel is in the Bible, and if you are interested to know where it is defined, you can find these verses in 1 Corinthians, chapter 15.
This message of the cross and resurrection is so important to our faith in Jesus. Without this knowledge and understanding, we would not be where we are today and surely not be saved.
The preaching of the cross is what leads a person to repentance and to follow Jesus for salvation. We love God enough, as to never forget the price that Jesus paid for us.
No person on this earth has ever been saved, but through the blood of Jesus. Only because of what He did for us on the cross, does it make it possible to be redeemed and have our sins forgiven.
Now let us look into the details of one of these great visitations of Jesus after His resurrection. More specifically we will look into when Jesus appeared to the two men on their way to the “village called Emmaus”.
To think of the cross, we must first understand what first took place there. As Paul said, while he declared the gospel, “Christ died for our sins”.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
What has brought me closer to Christ than ever before is understanding the true meaning of the cross and also His resurrection.
This new way of life, through Christ Jesus, helps us know what is good and what is evil. Because the Bible is so plain about these things, we are able to better choose what is right.
To know of God’s laws and disobey them anyways is to walk away from His will. To be in God’s ministry, we must put off the natural man.
When I think of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My heart is filled with gratitude for everything the Lord has done.
The Book of Mormon (BOM) is said to be the most correct book on earth, according to Mormons. For that reason, let us put it to the test.
Joseph Smith was the first prophet of Mormonism. Let us look at 5 things that he revealed to the world to see if they are on par with the Bible.
Do not be deceived into following any teaching from a seducing spirit. Trust in God and read the Bible that you may not be led astray.
Many false teachings can come into a church, when new “so-called” revelation begins to override what the Bible teaches.
1 Corinthians 15:1,2 (KJV)
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
Oh how merciful is our Lord Jesus. I give thanks for the cross. Though it was so painful and hard to bare, Jesus suffered that we might be forgiven.
The Bible teaches that the blood of Jesus is vital to our salvation. Our sins can be covered, because of the cross.
When Jesus died on the cross, He was the last offering for sin. We can now be forgiven by the blood of Jesus. After sharing this, he agreed upon this.
