The Lie Continues

The lie continues, no repentance, no desire for truth. Join with me  and pray for a spirit of convection, a spirit of repentance away from sin and unrighteousness, Board is the way that leads to destruction. Check yourself correct your course, because our path is narrow, and filled with obstacles, ( distractions ) and persecutions. remember the weapons of our warfare are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds

   

Matthew 5:13-16

---

1. In verses 5:3-12, the Lord Jesus presented eight principles by which believers are to live. With each of the principles He also stated the reward that accompanied living by that principle.

-Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Those that see themselves as sinners and who seek God's forgiveness)

-Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Those that mourn over their sin turning to the Lord strength to overcome their sins)

-Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Those who put aside pride who seek the Lord's will in all they do and live in the strength the Lord gives)

-Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Those that seek the God's truth and reject sin in their lives. Righteousness means to be right. Right in one's belief and in their relationship to God. It means living according to the faith presented in the Bible)

-Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Those that show grace to others as the Lord shows grace to those who believe in Him)

-Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Those that by simple faith in Jesus Christ have believed and receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The pure in heart are those God has saved and imparted righteousness meaning unmerited favor)

-Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Those that seek to win others to the Lord Jesus Christ who believe God's word and seek to bring peace to those who are lost in their sins that they too may come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and find true eternal peace)

-Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Those that are peace makers who often are misunderstood, belittled, often scorned, treated badly and down through history many were martyred and killed by those who do not like to be told they are sinners or did not want to hear the truth. You see the first step in coming to Jesus Christ as one's Savior is to come to the understanding that we are sinners under the condemnation of sin. Most people do not like to hear anyone tell them they are lost and sinners and it often does not make any difference that it is not the believer who is says men are sinners....but God Himself.
