| The Father Of Creation Many Preachers today are preaching that We must go out and imitate Christ and try to be like Him. The truth is that we can never live up to Jesus’ holy standard of perfection. If we only go out to try to be like Him,we will only be disappointed that we could not. The secret is that we must not try to be like Jesus, but to be transformed and regenerated by Jesus. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that we are changed. Jesus said in John 15:4{ Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit, apart from me you can do nothing, If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers, such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned}. The secret to doing good works and producing fruit for the Kingdom of Heaven is simple, only believe in him and know that if you have asked him into your heart and meant it, he is there, and if he is there, then there is nothing that will be impossible for you, for all things are Possible with God, like the Bible says in Romans 8:37{in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us}. We must rely totally upon his strength, his power, his wisdom and his Spirit that he gives us. In Him is found everything, from the smallest to the greatest. We are made complete in him, born into one body, one Spirit. The secret to obtaining true power is realizing that we have none. Everything that we accomplish is done through him, from conquering sin, to moving mountains, to walking on the devil. It is good to live in the Spirit because we are close to the one who loves us and who we also love with all our hearts. Jesus is our source of life. John 5:26 {For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself}. I know this scripture is true because when we are away from God by studying or learning how to do something else, there is a dry, lifeless feeling that comes, not that we are backsliding in any way, but that we must continue in him and his word and continually feed upon the richness of his Spirit. It is spiritual food for our souls, without it the spirit starves just as your body would if you did not eat. One of the things that bother’s me is when people say that there is more ways to get to heaven than through Jesus Christ. These people evidently never read John 14:6 which says {I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me}. This scripture peaks for itself and could not be more clear, to say such a thing means that they are definitely not saved. These are the same kind of people who believe in all sorts of unscriptural doctrines and teachings. They don’t know the Bible or care about what it has to say. They only want to hold to their own beliefs. These heathenized unbelievers will know the truth when they die, but it will be too late, you see Satan only needed to fool them while they were on earth, but when they died the veil of spiritual blindness is lifted and they for the first time can see the truth, that Jesus was the only way and they are not going to go to Heaven, because they did not believe in God’s one and only Son. John 5:9-12 says {We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son of God does not have life}. My sincere wish is that this letter will be an eye opener to some who thought that Jesus was not the only way to Heaven, and that anyone who would read this letter would take my words to heart. Hell is real and our only way out is the saviour, the redeemer, Jesus Christ the Lord. A servant of the Lord Jesus Christ Lee Martone |
