WHO CAN OVERCOME THE WORLD

WHO CAN OVERCOME THE WORLD   In 1john 5:5-6 we have a chalenging question and an answer.   This quedtion is from the book titled ARE YOU TRUELY BORN AGAIN OF WATER AND THE spirit? The answer is very clear from scriptures. In John 3:3-5 Jesus ask nicodemus to be born of water and the spirit. In John 1:13 the bible says that we are not born of flesh but by God. In 1john 5:1-12 the bible says that Jesus came by water, blood and spirit. And when you believe in all the elements then you will overcome the world. We have victory because of these elements. In mark 16:15-16 Jesus said we have to preach the and baptize people with water. When we follow all of this then we are children of God. Romans 8:1-2 says that there is now thefore no more condemnation for any one in chtist Jesus  because the law of the spirit has set us free from the law of sin and dead. And when we are in chtist Jesus, we now have the love of God as recorded in 1corinthians 13:1-3. No one can try to overcome the world without the love of God. And to have this fellowship,  we must believe in his blood, baptism and his death on the cross that gave us victory.

Jesus christ the lamb of God

After reading the book titled have you truely been born again of water and the spirit, i had an understanding which i will love to share with every one. When adam sined in the garden of eden, sin spread from him into the life of every human born in this world. Be you a black or white that nature was transfered into us. Genesis 5:1-3, romans 5:12-14. This made us to have alot of problems because we have sin in us even before we were formed in our mothers womb. We then grow with sin in our hearts. In romans 7:14-23 apostle paul said he can not do what ever he loves to do because he has been sold as a slave to sin. In mathew 15:18-20 and mark 7:21-23 in these scriptures Jesus made us to undertand that we have sin from within and not from outside. For God to solve the problem of sin he had to follow the same procedure which he has put in place. When we read hebrews 9:22 we can see that sins can not be forgiven without the shading of blood quoting from the law of moses recorded in leviticus 16. Wben God send his son to come and die for our sins as recorded in John 3:16, 1timothy 1:15. The first rime John saw him,  John address him as the lamb of God that takes away the sins of tbe world.John 1:29. This was to say that God has sent a lamb without blemish to be offered as a sin offering for our sins. Now Jesus had to bring up the new standard for redemption by being baptized by John. During the baptism of Jesus, John laid hands on Jesus making him a scapegoat that takes away curses and a sin offering. The blood of Jesus was shared on the cross to redeem us from the curse of the law. For the law states that curse is any one who dies on the cross. The same scripture says that Jesus on the cross blooted out all unfavorable writings and ordinances that were against us. Making us free. In hebrews 9 and hebrews 10 animals were killed every year to cover sins. But in 1john 5 Jesus came by blood and waterbl to redeem us once and for all. Thanks to paul c.jong who has opened our eyes with this revelation that any one born of water and the spirit is free from all sins past, present and future. As we are now preaching this new revelation which the apostles preach in the book of acts and at one point it was changed, we pray that God should give us grace to contine the work..

The Truth Is Very Clear And Simple

Mankind are chaotic. Because they don't know what God did for themselves. Darkness was on the face of the deep, and this means people are destined in hell. This is the fundamental figure of the human beings.    We can know God through the written Word of God.    Earth here means human being's heart. Water here means the Word of God. Knowing that God created heaven and earth is knowing God. If we believe in the Word of God and believe in what God did, we realize that we have no sin in our hearts. About 2000 years ago, Jesus took away all the sins of the world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist at the Jordan river. And He shed His blood on the Cross for paying the wages of all the sins of the world once and for all. On the third day, He was resurrected from His death.    God opened the gate of Heaven to the righteous through His Word. God gives us forgiveness of sin, makes us the righteous. And we have no sin in our hearts, and the Holy Spirit is dwelling in our hearts. This is proof that God is alive.   Knowing God is no emotion. Knowing God is very reasonable. It's not logical, it doesn't affect your feelings, it's about believing based on evidence. Please don't forget the grace of God. Believing in God unconditionally is an emotion. Some people say they feel hot within their hearts when they pray. This is emotion. Emotions always change. We must believe in God through the Word of God. Because we met God, the Holy Spirit can reject Antichrist when the Antichrist appears. The life of faith can never be emotional. The life of faith is to do in rational. Admitting the Word of God and following is the life of faith.   All our own thoughts and our ideas that come from our flesh are dirty. Our faith in the Word of God can dominate our emotion and our own thoughts. Faith is clear and simple. The Truth is clear and simple. It's not complicated.

The Benefit Of Christ Death

In referring to Matthew 3:15, we see Jesus taking all the sins of the world upon Himself by receiving His baptism from John. The reason why Jesus was baptized by John was because He has to shoulder the sins of the world through this baptism. It was because this was God's own desire, as stated in Isaiah 53:10; "Yet it pleases the LORD to bruise Him for our salvation "therefore, the purpose of God in sending Christ to this earth was to "bruise Him" because of His bearing of our sins and death. Realizing this love, the Apostle John said, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He first loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (1John 4:10). In obeying the will of God, Christ therefore discarded at once the comfortable way, which He was more than capable of taking with His majesty and power, and did not hesitate to eschew the compassion of His disciples and the great welcome of the people. Put differently, because He had accepted all the sins of the world by being baptized, He could die for us who have gone astray like sheep, and has thereby opened "a new and living way" to us (Hebrews 10:20). Jesus, in other words, had to embrace His baptism by John to satisfy the righteousness of God, regardless of whether people would recognize it or not, for this was the very desire of the Father. This is why He faced the accursed and terrifying death of the cross. Because His sufferings were the will of God, He remained completely silent even as He suffered. As Isaiah 53:7 states, He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth". Like this, even as He was falsely accused, harshly beaten, plucked of His beard, and spat at, because He had accepted the sins of mankind passed onto Him from John through His baptism, He remained silent. Not only this but furthermore, because it was the will of the Father for Him to be baptized and thus die, He died for the sake of those who believe. Only after being baptized by John at the age of 30 years and thereby taking upon Him the sins of the world, our Lord was crucified at the age of 33 and shed His blood. He then rose from the dead, and has become the eternal saviour for those of us who believe in this truth. Christ had to die so that we could have life and have it more abundantly.

Have You Truly been saved?

This is a very important question everyone should ask themselves. Salvation is to set free from sin and penalty, that is redemption. All we need to do is to be born again of water the spirit. First we need to accept that we were born sinners and that we cannot redeem ourselves. Jesus Christ paid for our redemption, deliverance and rescue once for all mankind. What does it mean to be born again? It means to be given a new heart that is willing to obey God's word (Ezekiel 36:24-27) It means to turn away from our evil actions, words, evil thought and take up the cross and follow Jesus. It also means allowing Christ wash all our sins away and make our hearts clean so no sin will separate us from God (Acts 3:19 ) This means making us anew and doing only what is right in God's eyes. The bible says for all have sinned  and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) The bible continue to say if we say we have not sinned we make him a liar. Who must have this new birth? Everybody old enough to know what is right and what is wrong needs to have this new birth. Everyone who has anything that is not right needs this new birth. Prophet Isaiah says ''All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned everyone to his own way (Isaiah 53:6) The evil men do separates them from seeing God (Isaiah 59:2) The story of Nicodemus in the bible shows us that except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3-8) Jesus is still calling by knocking on our heart door according to Revelations 3:20 and I quote Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The bible continue to say in Matthew 11:28-30 ''Come unto me all ye that Labour and are heavy Laden and I will give you rest'. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one comes unto the father except through him (John 14:6) Jesus is asking us to bring every sin or weaknes that we have in our life to Him and He is asking us to lay them at His feet. Jesus wants us to be free from our heavy load. To be born again of the water and the spirit is to believe in the water baptism and the attonement of sin by shedding his blood on the cross. There is hope for you even if you are a great sinner. The word of God says ''come now and let us reason together'' saith the LORD. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow: though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18) If we confess our sins God will forgive us and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
