IS EXISTING THE SAME AS LIVING?
ARE WE SAVED WHEN WE DECLARE OUR SELVES SINNERS?
IS IT IMPORTANT TO GIVE OUR PERSONAL TESTIMONY?
why should we be baptized in the name of the father son and holy spirit?
Is existing the same as living?
I n genesis the bible teaches us that GOD created man from dust of the earth: this maid man an existing being, afterwards he blue into his nostril and maid man a Living being. (Spirit)
GE 2:7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
But man by disobeying GOD dies (spiritually, loosing the spirit )
GE 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
Even though man (Adam) still existed, he was dead.
JAS 2:26
as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.And JESUS (THE LIFE)
JN 11:25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;Thus JESUS (THE LIFE) came to the world to give life (SPIRIT) to man once again.
JN 10:10
the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullJN 20:21
Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."JN 20:22
and with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.Note that this is exactly the same thing god did with Adam when he gave him the spirit of life (blew on him)
ARE WE ALL A CHILD OF GOD?
Religion teaches us that all of us are a child of GOD. Let us look at exactly what the bible has to say about this.
In the holy scriptures, JESUS explains to the religion of that time ( Pharisees ) that not everyone is a child of GOD. For everyone that does the will of the Devil, son’s of the Devil they are.
JN 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Therefore a child of GOD are all who love JESUS ( persevere in his word )
JN 8:42
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.Everyone who believes in JESUS and receive him are given the power to become a child of GOD.
JN 1:12
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—RO 8:14
because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.RO 8:16
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.RO 8:17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.The difference between the children of the Devil and the children of GOD is JUSTICE.
1JN 3:10
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.ARE WE SAVE WHEN WE DECLARE OUR SELVES SINNERS?
Just like many other topics this one is of great importance to clarify: Some times religion gives us answers that are convenient so that no one gets angry.
But how does the holy scripture answer this question?
1JN 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
RO 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.RO 10:10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.1JN 2:2
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.RO 10:13
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."EPH 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--EPH 2:9 not by works
, so that no one can boast.EPH 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.HEB 2:1
We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.HEB 2:2
For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,HEB 2:3
how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.1JN 2:5
But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:HEB 3:14
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.HEB 10:23
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.HEB 10:24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
1JN 2:12
I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.HEB 10:35
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.HEB 10:36
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.But the just will live by faith:
HEB 10:38
But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."HEB 10:26
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,HEB 10:27
but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.HEB 10:39
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
IS IT IMPORTANT TO GIVE OUR TESTIMONY?
When we give our testimony we must keep in mind that our Lord does not receive testimony from any man
JN 5:34
Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.Because to give a testimony of your self does not stand true
JN 5:31
"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.We have made a bad habit out of calling our outs and bouts sins, bad habits testimonies
using it to show how horrible we were forgetting that we all acquired condemnation by one sin that of Adam
RO 5:16
Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.Insted of testifying about our life of sin, let us tell the world about the wonders of GOD
PS 26:7
proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.And if indeed we have been that evil let us tell all about the wonderful thing that GOD has done for you
MK 5:19
, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."
why should we be baptized in the name of the father son and holy spirit?
God has revealed himself in three ways father, son and holy spirit He still one GOD
1CO 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.with respect to Matthew
MT 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,We make disciples baptizing ( not necessarily through the symbolism ) rather by partaking in the same event (look at doctrine of baptism )
In god the father when he takes us to Jesus
JN 6:44
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.In his SON when we crucify our flesh
GAL 5:24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.MT 20:23
Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."RO 6:3
Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?In the Holy Spirit when we preach the Gospel
AC 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."The Gospel is the power of GOD
RO 1:16
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.And preach by the spirit
1PE 1:12
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
