Will God forgive a murderer?
When a person places his faith in the SON of God Jesus for salvation, all of his sins are forgiven, repents, confesses his sins in a prayer, abandon sins. Jesus died to pay the penalty for all of our sins, and once they are forgiven, they are forgiven (Colossians 1:14; Acts 10:43).
We are all guilty of sin (Romans 3:23) and deserve eternal punishment (Romans 6:23). Jesus died for us, to pay our penalty (Romans 5:8). Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ for salvation is forgiven, no matter what sins he has committed (Romans 6:23; John 3:16). Now, a murderer or adulterer will likely still face serious consequences (legal, relational, etc.) for his evil actions – more so than someone who was “just” a liar. But a murderer’s or adulterer’s sins are completely and permanently forgiven the moment he believes and places his faith in Christ. Now NOTE: If you will continue killing people, you are a killer. If you will continue committing s*xual immorality, you are still an adulterer/s*xual immoral man. If you will continue raping people, you are still a rapist...So, STOP sinning and die for your sins to get forgiveness of your sins and live as God commands. This is REPENTANCE.
Jesus says: "Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance" Matthew 3:8.
In other words: Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.
Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance.
Do those things that prove you have turned to God and have changed the way you think and act.
Isaiah 1:16,17 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before …
Why?
John 15:1-17: “I (JESUS) am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit."
So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
Matthew 7:17
Our God Jesus speaks:
Let both (the tares and the wheat) grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
“He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man (the SON of GOD JESUS). The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man (the SON of GOD JESUS) will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the RIGHTEOUS will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Matth 13
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Summary: Let's repent of our sins to live as the just and holy sons of God, abandoning all kind of lawlessness, bearing the GOOD fruits because the HARVEST/the Judgement of God is aproaching us every second of our lives. Let's get washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the God Jesus.
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.
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor 6
What is s*xual immorality?
Do you know that men and women are considered by God as prostitutes if they engage in s*xual intercourse (whore; harlot). Do you engage in s*xual acts? Of course. Remember: Anyone who commits s*xual immorality of ANY kind does NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. This is His HOLY law. What does it mean? It means that you have no future living as you are living now.
s*xual immorality is the “selling off” of s*xual purity and involves any type of s*xual expression outside the boundaries of a biblically defined marriage relationship (Matthew 19:4–5). Body is NOT for sex but for God to bring His GLORY by your holy life!
1 Corinthians 6:18, which says, “Flee from s*xual immorality.” The bodies of believers are the “temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).
REMEMBER: Those who persist in unrepentant immorality and impurity cannot come into the presence of God. It is impossible to maintain a contact with God when our bodies and souls are given over to impurities of any kind.
The Bible is clear that sex was created to be enjoyed between one man and one woman who are in a covenant marriage until one of them dies (Matthew 19:6).
Hebrews 13:4 makes God’s expectation for His children crystal clear: “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”
s*xual immorality is a DEADLY sin leading all directly to hell/prison and the Lake of Fire. The blood of our God Jesus can cleanse us from every type of impurity when we repent and abandon lovers to receive His forgiveness (1 John 1:7–9). But that cleansing means our old nature, including s*xual immorality, is put to death DAILY(Romans 6:12–14, 8:13). You should be DEAD to your s*xual immoral sins to live for God! Ephesians 5:3 says, “But among you there must not be even a hint of s*xual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.”
God said: "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth." - Ezekiel 23:20-21.
Ezekiel 16:26
You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger with your increasing promiscuity.
You have NO CHOICE: Be HOLY as God commands or perish with killers and s*xual immoral perverts. Or do you prefer to stay a male-prostitute before God as you are today?!
Jesus said that if you are NOT BORN of God you will NOT inherit His Kingdom no matter if you pretend to be a Christian or not...That is why all Muslims and many Christians will get to hell!
Part 1
Our God Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? John 3:3,4.
It means if you are NOT born of God, you are are in fact not a Christian at all.
Catholic Church is full of such nominal "christians" who are NOT born of God. They do NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. They are in fact sinners and unbelievers!
How to be Born of God?
Jesus explains it again:
“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 marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them Ezekiel 36:26-27.
But as many as received him (our God Jesus), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12,13
ON BEING BORN AGAIN, JOHN 3: 1-7
"Unless you are born again, you are not saved. How do you know you have been born again?"
"Be born again" - The word translated here "again" means also "from above" i.e. born of God.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4
Love to people is an evidence of regeneration made by God!
To be "born of God" we need to repent and abandon our sins TURNING from them and confessing them to God in prayers. Those who have pleasure in unrighteousness will perish!
That is why the Son of God says that we should be "born of water" which is a symbol of baptism i.e. repentance.
Except a man be born of water in repentance and of God, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
Having a new love for the truth of the Word of God and people and a new understanding can be indications that one is in faith.
Whoever has been born of God does not sin i.e. he does NOT live and continue in sin! Killers are NOT killers anymore! They ABANDON crimes!
If you are a s*xual immoral person and you want to be BORN of God then REPENT and ABANDON your s*xual immorality (porn/lovers/sex). Otherwise you deceive yourself thinking that you are a Christian but in fact you are a sinner.
9 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. 1John 3
10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
What does it mean to be a born again Christian?
Answer: We should be BORN of the Spirit of God. God is Spirit.
God Jesus says:
“‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’
‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked.
‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”’” (John 3:3-7).
The phrase "born again" literally means "born from above."
Sinners are spiritually “dead”, when they receive spiritual life through faith in Christ, the Bible likens it to a rebirth. Only those who are born again have their sins forgiven and have a relationship with God.
How to get forgiveness of sins and be born of God? Repent, ask Jesus to forgive your sins, abandon your sins and believe in God Jesus.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3
Question: Does God need s*xual immoral people in His dwelling place?
Answer: No. He does NOT need there killers and anyone who practices sins..Why? God is HOLY. His nature JUSTICE cannot tolerate our sins...
That is why He commands us: Be HOLY for I am HOLY.
God sent His Son Jesus to live among us and die for us.
Jesus died rejected and alone on the Cross. The Bible, tells us that it was not the nails which were driven through His hands and feet that kept Jesus on the Cross, it was His love for you. He willingly and lovingly took the penalty and punishment for all of our sins. Each and every one of them, regardless how big or how small. Your debt paid in full, by Him. You simply need to believe it and accept His as your God. His salvation is free to everybody. It is available to everybody. But, God has given each of us the free will to make our own choice. We must choose to believe in the Son of God. We must choose to accept Him. It has to be a conscious decision made by each of us at some point in our life.
If, through prayer, we sincerely admit or confess that we have sinned, ask for God’s forgiveness, abandon our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and His death on the Cross as payment for our sins, regardless of how bad our sins are or how often we have sinned. He promised that all of our sins will be forgiven and completely forgotten to LIVE in RIGHTEOUSNESS...in the renewed life....being DEAD for sin and ALIVE for God.
The Bible tells us every man and woman on Earth is already condemned to Hell. We are told the execution of this judgment will take place after this body dies:
"And as it is appointed for men to die once,
but after this the judgment"
(Hebrews 9:27)
Jesus substituted Himself for you (and me) on the Cross. He suffered and died on the Cross to save you from the darkness of Hell. That is why He is called "Savior."
Some of us might ignore the Son of God for months or years, feeling "too busy" or content. They are not going to obey Him. Some of us never thank Him for the good things He has placed in our life. A few of us are living in casual or sinful disobedience, hoping God will ignore our sins (which He won't). Will they be in the Kingdom of God if they say that they are Christians? The answer may be: NO.
"Not everyone who says to Me (JESUS), 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...
Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in your Name, cast out demons in Your Name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
And then, I will declare to them
'I never knew you ... depart from Me
you who practice lawlessness ..."
(Matt 7:21-23)
May people think:
"To believe...... simply means to act as though it is true!!!"..?
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To believe, is not simply ACTING AS THOUGH THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE!
To believe, is to have the Word of God become reality in your flesh.
It is not the case where one acts as though it is true, but because it is TRUE, one conducts themselves by its power.
So here is my question to you: Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ? Will you be ready to step into eternity? Are your ready to reign with the Creator of the universe Jesus?
Or do you still lie in your mud pit with lovers?
We prefer godly life and obedience to everything what our God Jesus commands....Follow us!
Part 2
If you are BORN of God then God is your Father and you are His child. If you BORN of Him then you have to practice RIGHTEOUSNESS!
How should Christians, who are BORN of God, live?
17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 1 John 3
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but IN DEED and in truth.
Now he who KEEPS His (GOD's) commandments ABIDES in Him, and He (GOD) in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
If we LOVE one another, God ABIDES in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
Are you LIKE GOD in this world? God is LOVE!
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this COMMANDMENT (to fulfill) we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also. 1 John 4.
KEEP this COMMAND implementing it!
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is BORN of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves HIM who is begotten of Him. 1 John 5
And everyone who loves Him who begot also loves HIM (i.e.Christians) who is begotten of Him!
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and KEEP His commandments.
We know that whoever is born of God does NOT sin; but he who has been born of God KEEPS himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
So, to HAVE eternal life we need:
(1) Believe in the Son of God.
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5
(2) To be baptized in water, abandoning our sins and promising God our good conscience, as a symbol and act of repentance.
(3) We need to live a GODLY/HOLY life KEEPING i.e. IMPLEMENTING commands of God and LOVING people in action...in DEED.
13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, BE HOLY yourselves also in all your behavior;
16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." 1 Peter 1
This is what you call "Christianity". This is the way to the Kingdom of God. That should be your REGENERATION to be a SON of God BORN of God.
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
Are you BORN of God or of devil?
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 1 John 3
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us (CHRISTIANS), that we should be called children of God!
We are CHILDREN of God!
Return to God you- backsliding CHILDREN of God! Repent and God will RESTORE you!
What does it mean to be born of God?
Jesus said that if you are NOT BORN of God you will NOT inherit His Kingdom no matter if you pretend to be a Christian or not...That is why all Muslims and many Christians will get to hell!
Our God Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? John 3:3,4.
It means if you are NOT born of God, you are are in fact not a Christian at all.
The term born of God is found primarily in John 3 and the book of 1 John. First John 5:1 says, “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.” Other references are found in 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; and 5:4, 18.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a “new creature.” He abandons sins/lovers to OBEY Jesus and live in righteousness... to WALK with God Jesus.
When we are born of God, we have a new heart, one that wants to please God (Ezekiel 36:26; 2 Corinthians 5:9; Colossians 1:10).
Our God Jesus tells you:
Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Is Jesus God?
Answer: Yes, He is God and our Creator.
John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth … before Abraham was born, I am!” Jews who heard this statement responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16).
The concept of Jesus’ deity: “The Word was God” and “the Word became flesh” (John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in the flesh.
Therefore, Jesus is God!
In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, “But about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” The Father refers to Jesus as “O God,” indicating that Jesus is indeed God.
Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death.
The God of Israel tells us:
3 “They say, ‘If a man divorces his wife,
And she goes from him
And becomes another man’s,
May he return to her again?’
Would not that land be greatly polluted?
But you have played the harlot with many lovers;
Yet return to Me,” says the Lord.
‘Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am merciful,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not remain angry forever.
14 “Return, O backsliding children,” says the Lord; “for I am married to you.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3
Question: "Is forgiveness of your sins by the Son of God Jesus a "license" to sin?"
Answer: A person who has truly been redeemed by Jesus Christ will not live a life characterized by continuous, willful sin. We must draw a distinction between how a Christian should live and what a person must do in order to receive salvation. If we live in sins, we will die in sins. No matter if we pretend to be christians or not.
The Bible is clear that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6).
Salvation is gained by faith, but then maintained by works. We are saved not only by faith alone! If we live in sins, we will die in sins and God will judge us for our s*xual immorality..."You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone."James 2:24
Does this mean that a Christian can live any way he wants to and still be saved? This is essentially a hypothetical question, because the Bible makes it clear that a true Christian will not live "any way he wants to." Christians are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). Christians demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), not the acts of the flesh/sins (Galatians 5:19-21). First John 3:6-9 clearly states that a true Christian will not live in continual sin. "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" (Romans 6:1-2).
God forgives us if we REPENT and ABANDON our sins to live a godly life and believe in the Son of God but this forgiveness is not a license to sin. Rather, it is the security of knowing that God's love is guaranteed for those who trust in Christ. Knowing and understanding God's tremendous gift of salvation accomplishes the opposite of giving a license to sin.
How could anyone, knowing the price Jesus Christ paid for us, go on to live a life of sin (Romans 6:15-23)? How could anyone who understands God's unconditional and guaranteed love for those who believe, take that love and throw it back in God's face? Such a person is demonstrating not that His forgiveness has given him a license to sin, but rather that he or she has not truly experienced salvation through Jesus Christ. "No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him" (1 John 3:6).
Ok, men and women repent, confess your sins to God Jesus in prayers, abandon your lovers and live as children of God to bring GLORY to your Father. This is the true Christianity when you will OBEY what God Jesus commands you!
The Son of God commands you:
‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: ...
“I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
Revelation 3
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. Revelation 1
