PERISHABLE

Text : John 3:18 ISV 

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s unique Son.

On a norm, no one trashes anything just to punish that thing, things are trashed because they are spoilt or because they are no longer useful.

In the same vein, people won't go to hell because God wants to punish them for their misdeeds,  people will end in hell because they have perished.

Anyone who refused to believe in Jesus Christ is a perishable element, John 3:15. But if he is still alive, he can be rescued from perishing. 

The decision to go to heaven or hell is not made in heaven, after the death of a man. The decision is actually made here on earth before man dies.

At the end of it all, God is not the one to determine whether you go to heaven or hell, that decision rests with the individual while he is here on earth. You decide where you will spend your eternity by your daily conduct and choices.

John 3:17 says that God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

Now, this shows that God has made adequate provision for man's salvation, but it is with a clause that man should believe. 

Your lifespan is given to you to believe in God through His son Jesus Christ and to walk in this belief all through your life. Anything short of this is an indication that you have chosen the other path, which is the path of condemnation. 

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Joh 3:18.

Man became a perishable element ever since the fall of man. He can only be redeemed and preserved through and by Jesus Christ.

This is how Jude put it...Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Jude  1:1  

THE BIG QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU BEEN REDEEMED, AND ARE YOU BEEN PRESERVED?


Bible Reading: John 3:1-21.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
