WHO IS SUPERIOR?
“… I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no … [SOVEREIGN; SUPERIOR]
… God besides Me…”
(Isaiah 44:6 NASB). “… I AM HOLY…”
(1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV).
And, “… There
is none holy as the Lord…” (1 Samuel 2:2 KJV). "… I
am the Alpha and the
Omega," says the Lord God…" (Revelation 1:8 NASB).
*
From the perspective of skin color,
biological race, or ethnicity GOD, alone, is the SUPERIOR one! “… I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no … [SUPERIOR] …
God besides Me…”
(Isaiah 44:6 NASB). “… “I AM WHO I AM…”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “… I am
He...'"
(Isaiah 41:4 NASB). “… I am the first
and I am the last…” (Isaiah
44:6 NASB). "… I am the Alpha and the Omega," …"
(Revelation 1:8 NASB).
There is absolutely no one or no group of
people who can have any aspect of SUPERIORITY apart from God. “…Apart from
[the HOLY Spirit, you] can do nothing….” (John 15:5 KJV).
There is absolutely no one or no group of
people who can exert any REAL superior influence outside of God. “…It is God which worketh IN YOU both to will (be
influential) and to do
(influence) …”
(Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
There is absolutely no one or no group of
people who can have superior authority (OTHER THAN MAN-MADE) unless God gives it to them. “…there is no authority “except” from God,
and those which exist are established
by God…” (Romans 13:1 NASB). “… The
Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” (Matthew
9:6 NASB). “… Jesus … spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me
in heaven and on earth…” (Matthew 28:18 NASB).
God is the SUPERIOR one. He is the King of
kings. He is the Lord of lords. He is NOT limited by skin tone, biological
race, or ethnicity. “…And on His robe and
on His thigh He has a name written, "KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS…" (Revelation 19:16 NASB). "…For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords,
the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor
take a bribe…” (Deuteronomy 10:17 NASB). “…He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords…” (1 Timothy 6:15 NASB). “…
Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the
firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of
the kings of the earth...” (Revelation 19:16 NASB).
God, alone, is the superior CREATER. He
MADE everything in heaven and earth. He sustains and holds everything together,
in heaven and earth. He is NOT limited by skin tone, biological race, or
ethnicity. “…God created
everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the
things we can't see--such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the
unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him…”
(Colossians 1:16 NLT). “
... All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that
has come into
being…” (John 1:3 NASB). “…God who created
all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “… there
is but one God, the Father, from whom are all
things …” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB).“..Worthy
art Thou, our Lord and God … for Thou didst create all things, and
because of Thy will they …were created…” (Revelation 4:11
NASB). “…In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth …”
(Genesis 1:1-3 KJV).
God is the superior ALL-KNOWING and WISE
one. He KNOWS the past, present, and future. He KNOWS everything even before it
happens. He is NOT limited by skin tone, biological race, or ethnicity. “…
“I AM WHO I AM…”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB)."…
who
is who was and
who is to come ,
the Almighty …" (Revelation 1:8 NASB). “… Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of
the world…” (Acts 15:18 KJV). “…Every beast of the forest is Mine, The
cattle on a thousand hills. “I know
every bird
of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine. “If I were hungry I
would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and all it contains…”
(Psalms 50:10-12 NASB). “…Oh,
the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” (Romans
11:33 NASB). "… Can you discover the
depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?” (Job 11:7
NASB). "…Do you hear the secret
counsel of God, And limit wisdom to yourself?” (Job 15:8 NASB). “… For
WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?” (Romans
11:34 NASB). “… so the thoughts of
God no one knows except the Spirit of God…” (1
Corinthians 2:11 NASB).
God has superior UNLIMITED abilities. He
can DO all things. He does whatever “HE” pleases. Nothing is too hard or
impossible for God. He is NOT limited by skin tone, biological race, or
ethnicity. “… Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You
have made the heavens and the earth by
Your great power and by Your
outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You…” (Jeremiah
32:17 NASB). “…Jesus said, "With
people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God…"
(Mark 10:27 NASB). “… With God nothing
shall be impossible…” (Luke 1:37 KJV). “…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing
too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…Is any thing too hard for the LORD?” (Genesis
18:14 KJV).
God is truly SOVEREIGN and SUPERIOR. He, alone,
has ULTIMATE superior POWER and has ALL AUTHORITY. He is NOT limited by skin tone, biological
race, or ethnicity. “..The LORD has
established His throne in the heavens, And His
sovereignty (superiority) rules over all…”
(Psalms 103:19 NASB). “…For the LORD Most
High is to be feared, A great King over all the earth…” (Psalms 47:2 NASB). “… God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne…” (Psalms 47:8 NASB). “…Who is
like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high…” (Psalms 113:5 KJV). “… Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He
pleases…” (Psalms 115:3 NASB). “… In order that the living may know That
the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind,
And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men..."
(Daniel 4:17 NASB). “… Seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it
on whomever He wishes…” (Daniel 4:25 NASB). “…That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High
over all the earth…” (Psalms 83:18 NASB). “… His sovereignty
(superiority) rules over all…”
(Psalms 103:19 NASB).
Being SOVEREIGN means being SUPERIOR over
ALL! “… His sovereignty (superiority) rules over
all…” (Psalms 103:19 NASB). God is the ULIMATE SOURCE of everything. “[God’s] …Holy Spirit …is the SOURCE [of it ALL]…” (1
Corinthians 12: 4-11 NLT).
He is the superior POWERFUL EXISTENCE. “… “I AM WHO I AM…”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB)."…
who
is (who exists)… who was (who has existed) and who is to come
(who exists in the future for “all” eternity), the Almighty …"
(Revelation 1:8 NASB).
He, alone, is the superior POWERFUL
HOLY ONE! He is NOT limited by skin tone, race, or ethnicity. “….GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL … (Job 36:22-33 NLT). “…POWER belongeth
unto God...” (Psalms 62:11 NIV). “… I AM
HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “… There is none
HOLY as the Lord…” (1
Samuel 2:2 KJV).
God is the SUPERIOR one. Every skin tone
is subject to him. “..The LORD has
established His throne in the heavens, And His
sovereignty (superiority) rules over all…”
(Psalms 103:19 NASB).
Every biological race is subject to him.
Every ethnic group is subject to him. “…The Most High is
ruler over the realm of mankind..." (Daniel 4:17 NASB). He
is NOT limited by skin tone, biological race, or ethnicity. “…I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the
beginning and the end…”
(Revelation 21:6 NASB). "…
I am
the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who
is to come, the
Almighty…" (Revelation 1:8 NASB). “… I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am
He...'"
(Isaiah 41:4 NASB). “… I am the first
and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me…”
(Isaiah 44:6 NASB). “… Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come…” (Revelation 4:8 KJV).
There is no SKIN TONE, BIOLOGICAL RACE of
people, or any ONE ethnic group that can
claim sovereignty or superiority like Jehovah God. “…There is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah
10:6 KJV).
He ALONE is worthy of ALL praise! “…The
Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes…”
(Daniel 4:25 NASB).
People with certain SKIN TONES or from a
particular BIOLOGICAL RACE, or ETHNIC group have FORCED, manipulated, created
graven images of themselves, or have violently SET THEMSELVES up as sovereign
or superior when they are IN FACT “NOT” sovereign or superior at all. “…there is none
like unto thee…” (Jeremiah
10:6 KJV).“For such are
… deceitful workers, transforming themselves into …the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan
himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness…”
(2 Corinthians 11:13-14 KJV). “…I did not send or appoint them, and
they have no message at all for my people. I, the Lord,
have spoken!” (Jeremiah 23:32 NLT). “…They
that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by
good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts
of the simple…” (Romans 16:18 KJV).
THE IDEOLOGY OF WHITENESS BEING A SUPERIOR TRAIT IS "ALL" MAN-MADE AND "NOT" ESTABLISHED BY GOD.
WHEN IT COMES TO SALVATION "EVERY" SINGLE SOUL, REGARDLESS OF RACE, IS LOST UNTIL JESUS CHRIST SAVES THEM.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS ON THE LEVELING GROUND OF GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE
God’s sovereignty and superiority is based
on HIS being HOLY. “… I AM HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). He is
“…majestic in holiness…” (Exodus 15:11 KJV). “…There is none holy as the Lord…”
(1 Samuel 2:2 KJV). “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “…be holy, because I am holy…” (1
Peter 1:16 KJV). “….Apart from … [the
HOLY SPIRIT] … you can do nothing (be superior)…” (John 15:5 NIV).
When it is KNOWN and REALIZED, God’s
sovereignty and superiority COMPELS people to give him his due diligence of
PRAISE and GLORY. “…Let
another praise you,
and not your own mouth; A
stranger, and not your own lips…”
(Proverbs 27:2 KJV). “….Give to everyone
what you owe them: … if honor, then
honor…” (Roman 13:7 NIV).
Corrupt skin tones, biological races, and
ethnic groups – without the sovereign and SUPERIOR one - are usually abusive in
their positions of temporary authority. “….Apart from … [the HOLY SPIRIT] … [they] … can do nothing (be
superior)…” (John 15:5 NIV).
Most likely, they rule in HATE and only
want what’s best for themselves or their group of people. “…Love
does NO HARM to his neighbor…” (Romans
13:10 NASB). “…Beloved, let us love one another (including other skin
tones, biological races and ethnic groups): for love is of God; and every one that loveth (others and themselves) is born of God,
and knoweth God. He that LOVETH NOT(others
or themselves) KNOWETH NOTGod; for God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “….as I
have loved you… love one another ….”
(John 13:34 ASV).
Unfortunately, some
skin tones, biological races, and ethnic groups have high-jacked, abused,
misrepresented, twisted, and contaminated the Christian reputation.
Over the years,
Christianity, through inappropriate representation by certain skin tones,
biological races, and ethnic groups - whose agenda does NOT match that of Jesus
Christ - have reduced it to an inferior
status among witnesses.
Real Christians are like Jesus PERIOD and exemplify
superior (HOLY) behavior as they are progressively conformed to his image. “…In this world …[they] … are LIKE JESUS…” (1
John 4:17 NIV). “… [Their goal is to]…
be conformed to the IMAGE OF HIS SON…”
(Romans 8:29 KJV).
God sent Jesus Christ
because he loved “THE WORLD,” which includes all people, all skin tones, all
biological races, all ethnic groups everywhere.
“For God so loved THE
WORLD, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life…” (John 3:16).
Jesus Christ did NOT
die for ONE skin tone, one biological race, or one ethnic group of people. “…Christ …. died for sins ONCE for “ALL”…” (1
Peter 3:18 NASB).
He died for the HUMAN race. He died for all
people. God did NOT die to support mankind’s different agendas. He died for
God’s agenda: the GREAT SALVATION. “… Christ died for OUR SINS according to
the scriptures; And ...he was buried, and …he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures…” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV).
“Herein
is love,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son...”
(1 John 4:10 KJV). “For Christ …. died for
sins ONCE for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death
in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;” (1 Peter 3:18
NASB).
Jesus Christ did NOT
die for one biological race, one ethnic group, your political issues, your
sexual immoralities, your prejudices, your hatreds, your particular church
group, your skin color of people, or your specific worldview. Jesus Christ died
for God’s purposes ONLY. “….THE SON OF MAN CAME
“NOT” to be served but to serve others and TO GIVE his life as a ransom for many…" (Matthew
20:28 NIV).
Jesus Christ came to do his Father’s will
ONLY. “…I seek NOT mine own will…but THE WILL of the Father which hath sent me...” (John 6:38 KJV). “…For I have come down from heaven “NOT” TO DO MY WILL BUT to do THE WILL of him who sent me…” (John
6:38 NIV).
It was OBVIOUS that Jesus Christ was
presenting SOMETHING NEW. Jesus Christ
was NOT doing something COMMON, or carnal, or polarized, or selfish as some
skin tones, biological races, or ethnic groups have done. "…Behold,
I will do SOMETHING NEW …” (Isaiah 43:19-20 NASB).
"…
I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My
glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images... "Behold,
the former things have
come to
pass, Now
I declare NEW THINGS Before they spring forth I proclaim
them to you." (Isaiah 42:9 NASB).
Nicodemus said this
about Jesus Christ.
“….NO MAN can do these miracles that thou doest, EXCEPT GOD BE WITH
HIM…” (John 3:2 KJV).
Certain skin tones,
biological races, and ethnic groups have tacked the word Christian on their
causes, purposes, agendas, lifestyles, organizations, churches because
Christianity represents one of the highest and most SUPERIOR standards of
ethics and morality. It’s called HOLINESS.
Because of HOLINESS,
Christianity represent one of the highest standards of ethics and morality, but
it does NOT mean the people CLAIMING to be Christians are actually representing
or exemplifying those SUPERIOR holy standards. “…Ye shall know them by their … [HOLY, superior] … fruits…”
(Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…But
the fruit of the… [HOLY, superior] … Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
According to historical
literature Mahatma Gandhi is quoted as saying: “I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians
are so unlike your Christ.” That was Gandhi’s observation of those claiming
the Christian identity.
Jesus Christ distinctly
tells how you will recognize HIS “HOLY,” chosen race of people. “…BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW that ye are my disciples, “if” YE HAVE LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER…”
(John 13:35 KJV). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…every one that loveth …. KNOWETH God.
He that loveth NOT KNOWETH NOT God; for God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
In addition, “…My sheep (my chosen race) HEAR HIS VOICE,
and I know them, and they follow Me…” (John 10:27 KJV). “…whoever believes in me (my chosen race) WILL DO THE WORKS I
HAVE BEEN DOING, and they will do even greater things than these,
because I am going to the Father...” (John 14:12 NIV). "Anyone who loves me (my chosen race) WILL OBEY MY
TEACHING. …” (John 14:23 NIV). "…If you hold to my teaching, YOU
ARE REALLY MY DISCIPLES (My chosen race)…” (John 8:31 NIV).
Biological races,
ethnic groups, personal causes, organizations, purposes, agendas, lifestyles,
organizations, churches can all do good deeds, and if they CLAIM to be
Christians, Godly love will be a sign. “…all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another…"
(John 13:35 NASB). “…Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. He that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…Ye shall
know them by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). Therefore, "… bear much fruit, and …
PROVE to be … [God’s] … disciples” (John 15:8 NIV). “… if I have the gift
of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I AM NOTHING. And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, IT PROFITETH ME NOTHING…” (1
Corinthians 13:2-3 ASV).
Everyone claiming to be
a Christian is also claiming they are following after Jesus Christ, but their
claim it is NOT always true. “…If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t
obey God’s commandments, that person IS A LIAR and is not living in the
truth…” (1 John 2:4 NLT). “…If we “SAY”
that we have fellowship with him, and WALK IN DARKNESS (unChristlike identity), WE LIE, and DO NOT THE TRUTH…” (1 John 1:6
KJV). “…Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
thy name? and in thy name have cast
out devils? and in thy name done
many wonderful works? And then will I (God) profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity…”
(Matthew 7:22-23 KJV).
When Christians were
first called Christians, back in Antioch it was because they were recognized by
unbelievers as true “followers” of “THE WAY” or “Jesus Christ.” “…When he found him, he brought him back to
Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching
large crowds of people. (It was at Antioch that the BELIEVERS were first called Christians…” (Acts
11:26 NLT).
“…The BELIEVERS were first called Christians…”
Who are the true believers? “…Ye shall
know them by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians
5:22-23 KJV). "My Father is
glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and SO PROVE to be My disciples” (John 15:8 NIV).
Who
can be a believer? “… AS MANY
as received him, to them GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, even to them that believe on his name…”
(John 1:12 KJV). “…WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...”
(Romans 10:13 KJV). “…REPENT YE, AND
BELIEVE the gospel…” (Mark 1:15 KJV).
Are some believers -
because of skin tone, biological race, or ethnic group - MORE special than
others? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! “…YE ARE “ALL” CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH “IN” CHRIST JESUS. …There
is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither
male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS…” (Galatians
3:26-28 KJV).
GOD SHOWS NO FAVORTISM
AND IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSON WHEN IT COMES TO “THE GREAT
SALVATION.” “…Then Peter replied, “I see
very clearly that God SHOWS NO FAVORITISM. In
every nation HE
ACCEPTS those who fear him and do what is right. This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there
is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all…”
(Acts 10:34-36 NLT). “…Then Peter opened
his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no RESPECTER OF PERSONS: But in every
nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which
God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is
Lord of all:)…” (Acts 10:34-36 KJV).
Your skin tone, your
biological race, or your ethnic group gets NO special treatment! The
GREAT SALVATION brings every human being on
earth to the leveling ground of truth. There is “NO” SUPERIOR skin tone,
biological race, or ethnic group! “…ALL HAVE SINNED (including your biological race and ethnic group) and fallen short of
the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23). ALL“… [have become]…..unclean and [their] righteousnesses are
as FILTHY RAGS….”
(Isaiah 64:6 KJV). “…There
is none righteous, no,
not one:” (Romans 3:10 KJV).
“…There is not a just man upon earth,
that doeth good, and sinneth not…” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). “….Jesus said unto him ….there
is none
good but one, that is, God”
(Mark 10:18 KJV).
At the leveling ground of God’s truth
every human being (skin tone, biological race, and ethnic group), who wants to
identify as Christian are claiming they are SAVED. If they are SAVED they have
answered the following questions and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior:
1.) ARE YOU A SINNER? “…For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23 KJV). “…As it
is written, There is NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE: There is none that
understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of
the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is NONE THAT DOETH GOOD, NO, NOT ONE...” (Romans 3:10-12 KJV).
2.) WHAT IS THE PAYMENT
FOR SINS AGAINST GOD? “…the wages of sin is
death…” (Romans 6:23 KJV). “…YE
SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS: for IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM HE, YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS…”
(John 8:24 KJV).
3.) IF YOU RECOGNIZE YOU ARE A SINNER AND
ARE SORRY FOR YOUR SINS; CAN YOU CHANGE? “…REPENT YE, AND
BELIEVE the gospel…” (Mark 1:15 KJV). “…REPENT ye
therefore, and
BE CONVERTED, that your sins
may be blotted out …” (Acts 3:19 KJV).
“…REPENTANCE TOWARD
GOD, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ. …”
(Acts 20:21 KJV).
4.) CAN YOU BE RESCUED
FROM YOUR SINS? “…God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH
IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house…” (ACTS 16:31 KJV). "…Therefore REPENT AND RETURN, “SO” that your sins may
be wiped away…” (Acts 3:19 NASB).
5.) DO YOU BELIEVE
CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND ROSE AGAIN? “… Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; And ...he was buried, and …he rose again
the third day according to the scriptures…” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV). “…God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ DIED FOR US…”
(Romans 5:8 KJV). “… believe in thine heart that
GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, thou shalt be
SAVED…” (ROMANS 10:9 KJV).
6.) WHY IS BELIEVING IN
JESUS’ DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION IMPORTANT? The shedding of blood was
commanded by God as an atoning sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. “…without
shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22 KJV). “…Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
the world” (John 1:29 KJV). “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1
John 2:2 NIV). HIS
DEATH PAID GOD FOR YOUR “DEBT OF SIN.”
7.) WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CONFESS JESUS WITH YOUR MOUTH AND BELIEVE ON HIM IN YOUR HEART? “…Confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and … BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that
God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED…”
(ROMANS 10:9 KJV). “…For WITH THE HEART MAN
BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made UNTO SALVATION…”
(Romans 10:10 KJV). “…For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD
SHALL BE SAVED…” (Romans 10:13 KJV). “…REPENT ye therefore, and BE CONVERTED, that your sins may be blotted out …”
(Acts 3:19 KJV).
8.) WHEN DOES SALVATION
BEGIN? THE VERY MOMENT YOU “…REPENT …AND
BELIEVE the gospel…” (Mark 1:15 KJV). Once you repent and
believe you are SAVED from the consequences of sin and its effects.
9.) CAN YOU FIND
SALVATION ANYWHERE ELSE? “…SALVATION is found
in no one else, for there
is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved…”
(Acts 4:12 NIV). “…Jesus saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me…” (John 14 6
KJV). “…BY GRACE have ye been saved THROUGH FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD; not of
works, that no man should glory…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…There
is SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE…” (Acts 4:12a NLT).
IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO
QUESTION 7 ABOVE AND DID WHAT IT SAID; YOU ARE SAVED. “…For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD
SHALL BE SAVED…” (Romans 10:13 KJV). “…REPENT …AND BELIEVE
the gospel…” (Mark 1:15 KJV).
“Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all
things are become new” (2
Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…Therefore, since
we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ…” (Romans 5:1 KJV). “…Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus…” (Romans 8:1 KJV).
10.) DO YOU NEED TO BE
BAPTIZED? “…Peter
said to them, "REPENT, and each
of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit….” (Acts 2:38 NASB). “…Confessing
their sins, THEY
WERE BAPTIZED by him in the Jordan River… (Matthew 3:6 NIV).
“…He that believeth and IS
BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned…”
(Mark 16:16 KJV).
If you have truly repented, believed, and
accepted him as you Lord and Savior; you are SAVED. That’s all there is to it. “…For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD
SHALL BE SAVED…” (Romans 10:13 KJV). “…REPENT …AND
BELIEVE the gospel…” (Mark 1:15 KJV).
If you are a new convert, you need to find
a church home that teaches the bible basics. Start studying the Holy Bible for yourself.
Pray to God to help you live a new repentant lifestyle. “…You must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen…” (2 Peter 3:18 NLT).
If you are a longtime believer, but have
never truly repented you need to pray and trust God to work IN and THROUGH you.
“…If My people which are called by My name SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES …AND TURN FROM
their wicked ways…” (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV). “…The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and WE ARE NOT
SAVED...” (Jeremiah 8:20 KJV).
God through Jesus Christ SAVES you and
every skin tone, biological race, and ethnic group must come the same WAY. “Jesus saith…I am
the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6 KJV).
You
did not join a religion, or an organization, or biological race, or an ethnic
group; you joined yourself to JESUS CHRIST. “But he
that is joined (attached) unto the LORD is ONE SPIRIT…” (1
Corinthians 6:17 KJV).
Once JOINED with Jesus Christ, you become
a part of the CHOSEN race and a HOLY nation. “…you are
A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION,
so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light …” (1 Peter
2:9 NASB).
Your skin tone, biological race, or ethnic
won’t matter as much as your new TRANSFORMED identity with the CHOSEN “RACE”
and “HOLY” nation. “Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
If your lifestyle was
contrary to God’s holy, superior standards before you were saved; it will be
contrary to his holy, superior standard after you are saved. "…Therefore REPENT AND RETURN, “SO” that your sins may
be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from
the presence of the Lord…” (Acts 3:19 NASB). “….God …now commandeth all men every where to REPENT…” (Acts 17:30 KJV). “…EXCEPT YE REPENT, ye shall all likewise PERISH…”
(Luke 13:3 KJV).
GOD WILL “NOT” CHANGE
HIS HOLY, “SUPERIOR” STANDARDS FOR ANYONE. “…be holy, because I am holy…”
(1 Peter 1:16 KJV). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…”
(Malachi 3:6 KJV). “Jesus Christ is the
same
yesterday and today and forever”
(Hebrews 13:8 NIV).
It is dishonorable to
the HOLY, SUPERIOR GOD to hide behind the word “CHRISTIAN” when it is ONLY lip
service!! “…This people honoureth me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me…”
(Mark 7:6 KJV). “…For thy
heart is not right in the sight
of God…” (Acts 8:21 KJV).
Too many hypocrites are giving lip service and
saying: “I AM A CHRISTIAN “THIS”” OR
“I AM A CHRISTIAN “THAT.”” “…Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth
me with their lips, but their heart is
far from me” (Mark 7:6 KJV).
“…[Their hearts are] … not right in the sight of God…”
(Acts 8:21 KJV).
It is disrespectful
abomination to take God’s HOLY, SUPERIOR WORD and twist it to support your
sinful lifestyle. “…WOE unto them THAT CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!” (ISAIAH 5:20 KJV). “…He that justifieth the wicked,
and he that condemneth the just, …they both are ABOMINATION to the LORD…”
(PROVERBS 17:15 KJV).
When you are claiming
you are a Christian; you will reflect similar characteristics as Jesus Christ. “…In this world we are like Jesus…” (1
John 4:17 NIV).
Jesus had NO personal
agenda and focused strictly on giving God glory through his lifestyle. “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath SEEN ME HATH SEEN the Father; and how
sayest thou then, Show us the Father?”
(John 14:9 KJV). “The Son is the
RADIANCE of God’s glory and the EXACT
representation of his being…”
(Hebrews 1:3 KJV). “…In this world we are like Jesus…” (1
John 4:17 NIV).
Jesus said this about
himself: “…And he came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath
day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when
he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he
hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable
year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he
gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were
in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to
say unto them, THIS
DAY is this scripture fulfilled in your ears…”
(John 4:16-21 KJV).
Jesus did NOT promote
any racial or ethnic groups, hate groups, political groups, sexually immoral
groups, cultural group agendas, or any other groups. He promoted the GOSPEL of
LOVE! “…The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me
to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the
Lord…” (John 4:16-21 KJV).
“…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and POWER,
and …he
went around doing good and healing all ….because God was with him…”
(Acts 10:38 NIV).
Jesus promoted his
relationship with God. "I and my Father are one." (John
10:30 KJV). It is similar to saying “I am a Christian” and you and Jesus are
one. “…He that is joined
unto the Lord is ONE spirit” (1
Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…In this world we are
like Jesus…” (1 John 4:17 NIV). “…He that hath SEEN ME HATH SEEN the Father …”
(John 14:9 KJV).
Jesus PROMOTED God’s agenda and reflected
his HOLY, SUPERIOR characteristics too. God ANOINTED him with his HOLY,
SUPERIOR POWER! “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and WITH POWER: who
went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD WAS WITH HIM.
And we are witnesses of all things which
he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem…” (Acts 10:38-39
KJV).
“…If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person IS A
LIAR and is not living in the truth…” (1 John 2:4 NLT). “…If we “SAY” that we have fellowship with him, and WALK IN
DARKNESS (unChristlike identity), WE LIE,
and DO NOT THE TRUTH…” (1 John 1:6 KJV).
Claiming Christian
based on fleshly characteristics such as: skin tone, biological race, or ethnic
group is presenting a FALSE image to people. “…Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom
of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God…” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV). “…Don’t you realize that those who do wrong
will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those
who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are
male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are
thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none
of these will inherit the Kingdom of God…” (1
Corinthians 6:9-10 NLT).
It is ONLY those “IN”
Jesus Christ that the HOLY, SUPERIOR one will WORK through in order to present
and reveal God to the world.“…It is
God which worketh in [them]… both to will and to
do of his good pleasure”
(Philippians 2:13 KJV).
Holy, superior behavior
comes when God “…grant[s]…
[true believers]… according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his
… [holy, superior] … Spirit in the inner man…” (Ephesians
3:16 KJV).
When God grants, the
true believer inner strength - through his indwelling holy Spirit – holy superior
behavior can be empowered. “….Apart from [Jesus], [they]… can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…Now may the God of peace
… that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip (empower) [true believers]… with
everything good for doing his will, and may
he work IN [true believers]… what is pleasing to him, through Jesus
Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21
NIV). “…according to the POWER that worketh IN
[true believers]…” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). “…HE WHICH
HATH “BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN [true believers]… “WILL” “PERFORM” IT “UNTIL”
the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6 KJV).
Holy, superior behavior
proves who God’s disciples really are by the fruit they bear. “…Ye shall
know them by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…But the fruit of the..
[HOLY, SUPERIOR] … Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, GOODNESS,
faith, Meekness,
temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "…
My Father is glorified (NOT skin tone, biological race, or
ethnic group) by this, that you bear much
fruit, and so PROVE to be My disciples”
(John 15:8 NIV).
True believers do NOT aim to glorify or promote
the “deeds of the flesh.” “ … the deeds of the
flesh are evident, which
are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes,
dissensions, factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). "…That which is
born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:6 KJV).
True believers aim to
live their lives to give glory to God ONLY and to promote God’s agenda; not
THEIR OWN! “…So whether
you eat or drink or WHATEVER you do,
do it all for
the glory of God…” (1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV). “…And
WHATEVER you do, whether IN WORD OR DEED, do it
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him…”
(Colossians 3:17 NIV).
A prayer and declaration: I DECLARE AND DECREE THAT
TRUE BELIEVERS return to HOLY, SUPERIOR behavior IN THE NAME OF JESUS. MAY EVERY FAKE,
PHONEY, OR IMPOSER USING, ABUSING, DISHONORING, DISREPECTING, DEFAMING the
Christian faith BE REVEALED AND REMOVED….IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
“…For
“in him” we (true believers) live and move and have [their]… being.…”
(ACTS 17:28 NIV). They aim to “…Walk in the … [HOLY, SUPERIOR] … Spirit, and … [NOT]…the lust
of the flesh (skin tone, race, ethnicity)…” (Galatians 5:16
KJV).
God’s
CHOSEN race
PROMOTES AND HONORS GOD, THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST, THE SON; “NOT” SELF; NOT
SKIN TONE; NOT BIOLOGICAL RACE; AND NOT ETHNIC GROUP!
“…WHATEVER
[God’s CHOSEN race]… do[es] … [they]…do it all for the
GLORY OF GOD…” (1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV).
The
opposite of “holy” and “superior” is “evil” and
“inferior.” Are you one
of chosen race indwelled by the holy, superior
spirit?
Godspeed,
Dr. Pensacola
