In Search of True Life

  Of all the questions you will ask yourself in life, probably the most important is, “Am I good enough to go to Heaven?” The way to find this out is to ask yourself if you have obeyed  the Ten Commandments  (listed below). Most would answer the question, “Well, I’ve broken one or two, but nothing too serious, like  murder , etc.” So, look in the mirror and let’s go through them and see how you do. Is God first in your life? Do you love God above all else? Many years ago, I purchased a T.V. for our children, but the first evening we had it, I arrived home from work and found that they didn’t even bother to greet me. They were too busy watching television. I turned it off and explained to them that if they ignored me because they preferred to watch T.V. they were setting their love on the gift rather then the giver, a wrong order of affections. In the same way, if we love anything— husband ,  wife ,  children  or even our own lives—more than we love God...

 

 

 

 

 Events of the end times . 1. Removal of the church: 1 Corinthians 15 v 51 to 53 - 1 Thessalonians 4 v 15 to 17. This is the event that every authentic Christian (born again) looks forward to, while sowing the gospel among all peoples. But we don't know the day or the time... Maranatha! 2. World reign of the anti-Christ (the beast): 2 Thessalonians 2 v 3 to 12 - Revelation 13. Global totalitarian dictatorship. The devil will arouse his "messiah" and establish his kingdom all over the earth. (The Greek word 'anti' means: against, or, pretending to be). Total control of politics and the economy. The single and obligatory religion will be the worship of Satan, his "Christ", and his image. Satan will finally realize his dream: To be worshipped by all men. 3. Return (Parousia) of Jesus Christ to the earth: Zacharias 12 v 9 and 10 - Za 14 v 1 to 5. Last attempt to exterminate Israel. Repentance and national conversion of the elected survivors of Isra...

 

Proverbs 15 v 31: "He who listens to the warnings of life has his place among the wise." In Greek: EKKLESIA - Assembly, community, congregation, gathering, meeting... In the Bible, this word never refers to an earthly building. Doctrine: Matthew 16 v 18 - The Lord Jesus Christ is its architect, builder, foundation and owner. The universal church is his work and his property. Analogy with the temple of Jerusalem: David had given the plan and some materials to his Son Solomon who had the temple built. Mat 18 v 20: "For where two or three are assembled in my name, I AM in the midst of them." This is a nice definition of the local assembly. On the other hand, if He is out, it's serious. See Revelation 3 v 20 where the Lord is out instead of being in the middle. 1 Corinthians 12 v 12 - 13 - It is compared to a body, each disciple is a member, and Jesus is its head (same word as leader). It is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit that we become a member of the cong...
