“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” John 5:39-40
This scripture is the response from Jesus to the religious leaders of the day. Jesus confronted religion with the truths of God.
You can live in the Bible all your life but this will not give you the gift of salvation. And, you can attempt to adhere to the code of conduct outlined in the Bible but you will fail God.
Most believers reject coming directly to Jesus and use religion as a buffer to the Living Christ. The tendency is to accept contemporary interpretations of Jesus and reject the basic tenets of His teaching. Religion is not threatening or unsettling.
The reality of Jesus will shake up your life. He will transform you into a new creature in Christ Jesus born of the Spirit and Water. And, your life will never be the same.
The objective of the Bible is to point you to the Living Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life.
There is no supposition, conjecture, or guess work concerning Jesus.
Jesus is the Son of God and has power and dominion over the heavens and earth. Your destiny is in His hands.
No one comes to God accept through Jesus.
Jesus is a Living God and the Holy Spirit is sealed inside all believers. He is the the life of Christ.
Jesus speaks to the people of Christ. If you are a believer you have the mind of Christ.
Jesus offers you unlimited strength, wisdom, protection, and joy. These attributes come directly from Heaven.
Jesus wants you to live by faith trusting in His promises. This is the cornerstone to a relationship with God. You walk by faith not by sight.
Jesus died so His blood can cover your sins and restore you to God.
The righteousness of Jesus comes by your faith in His promises and trusting Him for your every need. You will never find the purity of God through the works of religion.
Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over you life and you can walk in oneness with Jesus. He will become your best friend and confidant.
You cannot please Jesus by works, keeping laws, or religion. Your faith will make you whole.
Jesus wants your obedience without questioning His motives. Obedience is simply complying with the voice of God.
Your hope for life is the Living Water. This is the life of Christ and is a fountain coming from Heaven culminating in eternal life.
