  1. It is said that" you can't drink the cup of the lord and the cup of demons."
    I know this verse but still struggling to follow his path always spending time on phone watching nonsense videos. Somewhere in my heart it feels guilty when I use my phone for so long that's too everyday.

  2. I am a Christian, i have no doubt, but I am perplexed this question pops up now and again, have anyone got an answer. Whenwe die , do we meet Christ, do we be judged right away or do we have to wait on the second coming to meet Jesus . Or are we "asleep in Christ" . Can anyone help

  3. God loves you. He just wants you to follow simple rules to become the righteous person He created you to be. He knew you before the Earth was created. He has a plan for us all, good or bad.

  4. The New Testament Scriptures tell us how to be saved. It may shock people to know that salvation involves more than denominational doctrines like, “If you just invite Jesus into your heart as your personal Savior and say a sinner’s prayer, you are saved.” Such doctrines fall far short of the specific commandments for salvation that Jesus and His apostles provide in the New Testament. If you are truly interested in learning how to be saved, then please read and obey those commandments as presented here with example Scripture references…

    1. HEAR THE GOSPEL: First Corinthians 15:1-4; Mark 3:10; Romans 10:14.

    2. BELIEVE THE GOSPEL: John 3:16; Acts 16:31; First Corinthians 15:1-4.

    FAITH IN JESUS IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT, BUT IT IS BY NO MEANS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT FOR SALVATION.

    3. REPENT OF YOUR SINS, FORMER RELIGIOUS WAYS, BELIEFS, AND PRACTICES: Acts 3:19; Luke 13:3.

    4. CONFESS BEFORE MANKIND THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD: Matthew 10:32-33; Romans 10:9-10.

    5. BE BAPTIZED FOR REMISSION OF SINS: Acts 2:38; Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:3-4; Galatians 3:27; First Peter 3:21.

    Though sinless, Jesus commanded baptism and was baptized as our example, so it is a most vital part of the salvation process.

    6. LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE BY OBEYING AND SERVING CHRIST: Second Thessalonians 1:7-9; Matthew 25:31-46; Hebrews 5:8-9; Matthew 7:21; John 14:15; Revelation 2:10.

    What about the thief on the cross? While on earth, Jesus had power to forgive whomever He willed, for the New Covenant had not yet gone into effect. We today are under the authority of the New Covenant, which includes these commandments for salvation. Therefore, we cannot be saved in exactly the same manner as the thief on the cross. Ultimately, we are saved through the sacrificial blood of Jesus (Revelation 1:5), BUT, we only have access to His saving blood by obeying His commandments for salvation.

    Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, not works. This means that we cannot earn salvation by our good deeds or personal works alone. Jesus saves us through His grace as a gift to those who have faith enough in Him to obey His commandments, which are NOT personal works. As Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15 KJV). “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46 KJV).

    IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SAVED, THEN DO WHAT JESUS TELLS YOU TO DO. IT’S. JUST. THAT. SIMPLE.

  5. Listening to Pastor Graham for the 3rd time here, leaves me speechless and grateful. Although I have only known him here, his words hit home. I am blessed to reach my 62nd year of life and feel more alive than ever. I am living my life all over again. 😊 And because of His loving Hand guiding me in my everyday, I always find my quiet time with Him ; and that time is ours alone to talk and listen to one another. He’s been my heavenly husband and partner! ❤ Brothers and sisters, our Christ is never far away. Since I accepted him at 17, I’ve forsaken him more than thrice but my soul is so tethered to Him I find myself being called back into His loving arms. What a wonderful God, a best friend and lover of my soul. ❤To anyone reading this, trust and believe YOU are His precious child, lift up your burdens to Him and listen to His whispers because the moment you hear from Him, is the very moment you are saved and saved again and again. Allow our Jesus to love You.❤
