There are such profound and incredible truths in this sermon excerpt, I greatly encourage everyone to listen to it, it has blessed me greatly to see more and more the preciousness of the blood of Christ! He sent His son to become sin for us!
I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 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. 3Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. - John15:1-7
Are you enduring in this life in Christ? or your works and self-effort? What is salvation? I encourage you to watch this excerpt of the full bible study "Salvation, Once Saved Always Saved?"
Sin is heavy. It is very heavy and every sin a man commits, every sin a woman commits, every sin a child commits; it weights heavier and heavier and heavier and the measure of their sin is going up.
We heard God is love, there are two other expressions in our Bibles that set forth propositions about the attributes of God in that same way. God is... a consuming fire.
We must know God, His Son, and His Gospel. Only by knowing Him and his greatness will we be enabled to give our lives away as a living sacrifice to Him. Everything is about Christ, seek Him until you know Him!
Tim Conway is preaching on living with an Eternal Mind set... are you living with this mindset? "...you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes." James 4:14
We MUST suffer as Christians, it is a guarantee. When we do suffer willingly for Christ, it proclaims to the world that Jesus is more valuable than, health, success, and all other passing things in the world. Oh let us strive to make Christ our treasure!
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted - 2 Timothy 3:12
Do not waste your life messing around on social media sites and useless things. Make your life count! Make your death count! Do not waste it on things that will be wood, hay and stubble on judgement day. There are thousands of souls perishing every single day. There is so much work to be done for God's Kingdom.
