Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." Looking at the scripture verses preceding our main text, Jesus spoke about false prophets and said to enter through the narrow gate.

When people hear that they must do the Father's will, they think they must do something themselves. Many people think they need to do something on their part, such as living righteously before the Lo...

Question : Could you give me an explanation of the Gospel of the water and the Spirit?  Answer: If we had lost a needle somewhere outside, we would probably be looking for it in the area where we lost it. However, it sounds absolutely absurd to try to find it inside the house simply because it is brighter inside. I find some absurd people like that in today’s churches. While they’re easily involved in the midst of endless biblical controversies about the water baptism of believers, they never ask themselves this important question, “Why was Jesus baptized by John the Baptist?” Due...

Now, it is written in Matthew 3, ‘Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness”’ (Matthew 3:13-15). We have to know and understand why Jesus was baptized when He was 30. He was baptized to atone for the sins of all people and to fulfill all the righteousness of God.  To save all people from their sins, Jesus Christ, the One with...

Why did Jesus wash the feet of Peter and His disciples on the day before Passover, before going to the Cross?  Because He knew His disciples' weaknesses, and He washed their feet to teach them that all their sins, past, present, and future, had already been washed away, so that sin could not come between Jesus and His disciples after He ascended to heaven. © 2024 Elizabeth.

When one who has drifted away from God realizes their sins, and thanks Jesus for washing them away, and comes back to God, this is called repentance.  All of us are lumps of sin.  True repentance is to admit the following truth. We must admit that we are sinners before God, and that we cannot but sin all our lives and go to hell when we die. We must also admit that we have to receive Jesus by believing that He came to this world to save sinners like us, and that He took away all sins (through His baptism) and died and was resurrected to save us...

Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that.
