APOSTLES PAUL HAS GOOD NEWS FOR ORDINARY HUMANS, SINNERS AND ROMAN HEDONISTS - WE ARE JUST THE KIND OF PEOPLE GOD IS LOOKING FOR!

Abraham Justified by Faith - Romans Chapter 4

1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

7/8

“Blessed are those

    whose transgressions are forgiven,

    whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the one

    whose sin the Lord will never count against them.” . . .

13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

 

COSMIC KARMA!

When you really think about it, a few days, weeks or months ago thousands of regular people like you and me never knew they would instantly become homeless.

Many could not imagine their souls would take them through death, dying and the ultimate journey to another world, homeless and without their bodies.

On the streets, our homeless neighbors and those around us experiencing death and dying are a sign, image and symbol of me and you.

How we embrace them is cosmic karma, indelibly marked by God on our souls.

A VERY SOON FORTHCOMING MAGICIAN MESMERIZES MANY! Historically, Satan has been nothing but a liar, deceiver and evil magician distorting the authentic works of God Himself. His ultimate plan is the Antichrist, a mystical union of the seed of the Serpent and the seed of man. Trying to duplicate Jesus - both the Son of God and the Son of Man. When the Antichrist shows up on the world stage he mimics the mission of Christ, but for his own worship and glory. Many are mesmerized and deceived by his miracles, peace, message and promises. When he violates free well and demands attention, executing people for unfaithfulness, the world wakes up, but it's too late.

When the rare event of a double rainbow occurs, there is a spiritual connection and a blessing of hope . . . OUR BLESSED HOPE! Rainbows appear in Revelation, Exodus, Genesis, Ezekiel, and other places in Scripture. The first rainbow is given by God to Noah and his family as the sign of hope. A double rainbow is the symbol of our "Blessed Hope," which is the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the end of the age. Titus 2:13 "Looking for our Blessed Hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ."

Fall Is Harvest Time!

THE LAST WORDS OF CHRIST, THE LAST BOOK OF HOLY SCRIPTURE, THE LAST CHAPTER OF REVELATION & THE LAST THINGS IN CHRIST . . .

Apostle John: Revelation Chapter 22 And The River of Life

Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him; 4 they shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place. 7 And behold, I am coming soon.”

Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

Epilogue and Benediction

8 I John am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me; 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 “I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.”

17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let him who hears say, “Come.” And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
