OUR MISSION:
"Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." (Col 1:28)

 

Conformed,

Reformed or

Transformed? 

The Scripture is clear as to who will inherit the kingdom of God and who will not.

Jesus Christ the Son of God is described as the one who searches hearts and minds, to repay each person according to what he has done (Matt 16:27; Rev 22:12).  His eyes are like blazing fire and he knows our deeds (Rev 2:18-19).  Will you be among those on the last day to whom Christ says, “Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your master”? 

Or will he say, “Depart from me you evildoer, I never knew you” (Matt 7:23)?  Many will say on the last day, “Lord, Lord,” but are rejected because they didn’t do the will of the Father.

The Children of God

U Have died to themselves and are free from sin
(Romans 6:7)

U Have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires and allow Christ to live through them
(Galatians 5:24, 2:20)

U Hope in Christ and purify themselves just as He is pure
(1 John 3:3)

U Sow to the Spirit and will reap eternal life
(Galatians 6:8)

U Confess Christ and depart from wickedness
(2 Timothy 2:19)

U Live by faith and overcome the world (Hab 2:4,
1 John 5:1)

U Do not love the world or its lusts, pride or boasts
(1 John 2:15)

U Arm themselves with the same mind that was in Christ for he who has suffered in his flesh is done with sin
(1 Peter 4:1)

U Keep their tongues from evil, their lips from deceit, turn from evil and do good

U Are led by the Spirit of God; these are children of God
(Romans 8:14)

 

Do you have saving faith in God the Father that you can and must live free from sin by the power of His Holy Spirit?  Jesus left us an example to follow in His steps.  Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Don’t you know that Christ is in you only if you pass the test?  Jesus is savior and Lord and he will judge each person according to what they are doing with their lives today.  We can do nothing good apart from him, for without him we have nothing but dead works and sinful, selfish desires.  Jesus called us to do the good things that God prepared in advance for us (Eph 2:10).  It takes faith to believe and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ.  You cannot be conformed to the world.  It’s not enough that you have reformed your outward deeds and grosser sins.  You must be transformed by the renewing of your mind through Jesus.  Repent and believe the good news that victory over sin comes through Jesus.  Find out for yourself what the Bible says.  There are many false teachers who distort God’s word.  Read 1 and 2 Peter how God commands us to be holy today, and may God open the eyes of your heart!

 "Be perfect therefore, even as your Father in heaven is perfect."
(Matthew 5:48)

STOP SINNING:
"Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame."
(1 Corinthians 15:34)

SANCTIFICATION IN HOLINESS:
"But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
 The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble."
(Prov 4:18-19)

NOT BY FAITH ALONE:
"You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone."
(James 2:24)

ETERNAL SECURITY:
"Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.."
(2 Peter 1:10-11)
