It is God's will that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
God 1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
The word of truth, the gospel, given to Paul by the Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
The apostle Paul wanted to know from people in Galatia in his letter, he was doubting them, they were turning back to the law.
Gal 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
People dont see the truth of God in the gospel when the word SIN offends them.
2Co_4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
So the one who preaches the gospel becomes an enemy to those who are offended.
They cant handle the truth.
We speak the truth in love, we want the same as God's will for them that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Some people will never be able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
They turn away their ears and turn to fables, commandments of men, ever learning rather than the truth of God which is Christ is us.
When I first got involved in Christianity, I was shown what Jesus said about been " born again" in John 3:7.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
This had me convinced that if Jesus Christ had spoken these words then who was I to question Jesus Christ himself.
The purpose of this article is to take a closer look at what Jesus had meant and to whom he directed those words he spoke.
Who is the audience ? Nicodemus.
Jesus answered Nicodemus as to his statements in verse 2.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
To assume that Jesus is speaking to you in that verse is to ignore the words " I say unto thee"
Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus not you.
Also in verse 5 " I say unto thee"
The observation in question is context, Jesus is not speaking to you or I.
So we have to move away from what Jesus is speaking about to Nicodemus because the audience is not you.
People today in this generation are not Israel, we are not of the Jews,
We are Gentiles Non Jewish people.
So how is God going to speak to the Gentiles as he has said he would in the scriptures.
Rom 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Israel did not accept God's offer of the kingdom, blindness in part is happened to Israel
Rom_11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.Rom_11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Rom_11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
God has put Israel on hold till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
How has God given salvation to the Gentiles?
Rom_15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Eph_3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Through the apostle Paul.
Paul was chosen by God to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles.
Paul was given the gospel by the Lord Jesus Christ to give to us Gentiles
Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Here is the gospel which was given to Paul to give to us.
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
When you trust in Christ to save you, by believing this gospel according to the scriptures you will be saved and sealed.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
A woman cannot be a little pregnant. You cannot reason with people who twist things round to suit their own agendas. Vaccines have nothing to do with this topic, which was purposely side tracked from the main point. Which is: Jesus Christ is God. He died for our sins. You must trust him to have everlasting life. Otherwise you will end up here.
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; That is fact. God cannot lie.
Faith is not imaginary. And that is what God requires. Trusting that he exists. For me and many others it works, He then reveals himself to those who by faith trust him to save them. It does not work any other way. Unfortunately for you, you will find out the hard way when you stand naked in front of Him at the judgement seat of Christ.
2Co_5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Really. I was not looking for a correct answer from anyone. It was done to show people what God says, not man. Hope you can see the light of the gospel. thanks.
Jesus Christ is the creator of all things. Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Do you know that Jesus Christ died for our sins?
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Do you know this is the gospel you must believe to be saved ?
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
