What is Life?

Image
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39–40). “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” (John 11:25-27).

Who will see God?

Image
In the revelation of Jesus by the angel of God to John, he saw a vision in heaven of the end of time: “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?” (Revelation 5:1–2). Jesus, the only begotten Son of God is the only one worthy to open the book, and he will judge the world in righteousness, and he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness (Psalm 9:8). Jesus says: “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44). “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8-9). “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world” (1 ...

This earth is not home

Image
Whether we are a billionaire or millionaire, well off or not so well off, living paycheck to paycheck or penniless, it does not matter. We all have one thing in common: This earth is not home (Colossians 3:3). Yes: right here, right now, whether we live in a palace, in a mansion, in a house, in a condominium, in a villa, in an apartment, in a tent, on the street, or in a prison, we all have one thing in common: we are all “homeless.” “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6–7). On the Last Day, there is only one way to go home to be with the Lord; King Jesus is the only one with the keys to the gateway to everlasting habitations; and he says: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

Praise the LORD

Image
“Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks.: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare” (Psalm 75:1, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night” (Psalm 92:1-2).

Deceitfulness of riches

Image
Every day in this world it may seem that only those with riches and wealth are winning. How often have were heard or seen written these words: “I want to be rich and famous?” Today, with the explosion of reality TV, this is very much apparent from the long lines of people waiting to be auditioned for a chance to get rich and famous. However seemingly glamorous, gratifying, and glitzy such images may appear, it is by no means a paradigm of life because we cannot serve God and money (Matthew 6:24). We must not be deceived by riches, and must ensure that we are anchored in the knowledge of truth by the word of God to shun this faux sense of life in this world because God will make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery of life, which is hidden for us, the hope of glory at the end of time (Colossians 1:27).   Our confidence and trust in the word of God must be rock solid; we must not as Jesus expressed to “let the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of r...

Jesus is the only Savior

Image
“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6). “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. “But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8:17,36).

God

Image
Who is God? “LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God” (Psalm 90:1-2). “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 9:23-24). “Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name” (Jeremiah 33:2). “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:48).

Ministry of Paradise

Image
To all followers of Jesus Christ who have been following the Posts of Ministry of Paradise as shown in the captioned photograph. “For reasons unknown, the Ministry of Paradise page disappeared!” It is becoming more apparent throughout most channels of social media how the knowledge of truth is trying to be suppressed but, it is all in vain! “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth” (2 Corinthians 13:5-8). “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:3-6). “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will [JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY THAT MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED]; whereof he hath given assura...

Light of Life

Image
Jesus says: “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:5).

Follow Jesus Christ!

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).

Wars and rumors of wars and the End of the World

Image
Sometime ago there was a headline as written: “Mormon Apocalyse Prediction Has People Stocking Up on Food” Please, please and please do not be deceived with such nonsense! Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior and King was very clear when he said: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, [BUT THE END IS NOT YET]” (Matthew 24:6). Do people really believe that when the end comes they are going to need food? Really!?? Do they not know that Jesus also said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). So, why are they “stocking up on food?” Please do not be deceived with all these false predictions because Jesus also said: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

The Earth is Round

Image
The Earth is NOT flat! The word of God says: “Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the [CIRCLE] of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in” (Isaiah 40:21-22). “The wind goeth [TOWARD THE SOUTH], and [TURNETH ABOUT UNTO THE NORTH]; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his [CIRCUITS]” (Ecclesiastes 1:6).

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever” (Isaiah 40:8). “Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89). “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one” (1 John 5:7–8). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
Image
The word of God says: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19). “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (1 John 2:16-17).

Jesus says: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:7-14).
