Matthew 5:17-19
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
We know about the creation, God has
design/made everything beautiful. God had to give man a free will so that He
can experience true love from us but Adam and Eve disobeying God and bringing
sin into the earth (Read Genesis 3:1-24) Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:". The Fall of Man expressed in Genesis explains why bad
things keep happening to you. If He willing, He will destroy the world in
seconds, but He didn't. Exodus 15:7 “And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown
them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed
them as.”, and Romans 1:18.
God had to give man a free will so that He
can experience true love from us. That pleasure is achieved by the Love and
respectful-fear you gave Him. He created us living beings not machine; He
doesn't want us follow Him like computer, therefore He gave us free will, free
will to take our own decisions. But… God actually desires that we be utterly
dependent upon Him. We ask Him to help us, to guide us. As your Father, He
wants to hear from you as often. Talk to Him; He is always there for you. He
loves you. Remember, HE LOVED US FIRST. 1 John 4:19 “We love because he first loved us. ..”
For God sent not His Son into the world,.... John 3:17 “For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” God did send His
only begotten Son into the world not to condemn us, but to save the world
through him. 1 Corinthians 15:22 "For as in
Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." Acts 16:31-33 "And they said, Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." 1
Corinthians 15:22 "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive."
Don't be like people who don't accept the
Truth, those people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6-9 and we know that those
who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. Romans 10:17-21
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God...."
For Knowing the
true Gospel, keep reading-hearing the words of God. “The Truth that sates you free”
John 8:32 and
the Truth is the freedom, which Jesus Christ offers John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” The spiritual freedom from the bondage of
sin—that is, release from the lifestyle of habitual lawlessness Romans 6:22 “But now being made
free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,
and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is.”; Romans 8:1–2 “There is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according
to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and
death.” Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach.”. We, Believers would be freed from their
bondage and brought into the family of God. So Live as people who are free, not
using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God 1 Peter 2:16 “As free, and not
using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.”
Jesus came to this world
that we may receive salvation through trusting in what Jesus did for us on the
cross, Acts 4:12
Ps 147:12-19
..For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he
hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee
with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth his
word runneth very swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool he scattereth the
hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels who can stand
before his cold?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them he
causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow..
Deuteronomy 4:1-9
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes
and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live,
and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of
the LORD your God which I command you.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of
Baal-peor for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath
destroyed them from among you.
4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are
alive every one of you this day.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments,
even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither
ye go to possess it.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so
nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
8 And what nation is there so great, that hath
statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you
this day?
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul
diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest
they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life but teach them thy sons,
and thy sons' sons;
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. We cannot produce Righteousness by our own efforts; It’s a free gift. No one is good enough to call Righteous; No one, good reputation, great achievement, knowledge, or personal holiness, can come to God the Father except through Jesus. He is the ONE and ONLY way to Heaven; there is no other way to Salvation than through Jesus Christ. He Himself says in John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” He is our Righteousness.. We are saved by grace of GOD through faith in CHRIST JESUS..
Ephesians 4:17-24
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
GOD provide a perfect Righteousness for us – His only begotten Son Jesus. John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
Jesus said that He came to fulfill the Law and the prophetsMatthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”. He declared that He was going to lay down His life for His sheep, and then take it back again. He spoke of His authority over life and death as being granted to Him by the Father. In John 14:19“Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.” He had just been telling His disciples about His impending death, and now He was claiming to be the source of all life. In John 10:17–18“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
John 14:5-13
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Christ Jesus is the one and only way to be saved, to be Righteous.
Isaiah 58:9-14
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Everyone who has faith in CHRIST JESUS will be SAVED. John 1:29 “ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” He gave the promise that “because I live, you also will live.” but a true deliverance from a life of bondage to sin and death to a life of freedom in eternity.
Jesus is the only way to Heaven for several reasons. Jesus was “chosen by God” to be the Savior 1 Peter 2:4 “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,”. Jesus is the only One to have come down from heaven and returned there John 3:13 “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”.

Jesus is the only One to have come down from heaven and returned there John 3:13 “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”.
He is the only person to have lived a perfect human lifeHebrews 4:15 “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”. He is the only sacrifice for sin 1 John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”. He alone fulfilled the Law and the Prophets Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”. He is the only man to have conquered death forever Hebrews 2:14–15 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”. He is the only Mediator between God and man 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”. He promised that those who believe in Him will have eternal lifeJohn 3:14–15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”. Eternal life in heaven is made possible only through Christ . He is the gate of the sheep John 10:7 “Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.”. The bread of life John 6:35 “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”. The resurrection John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” The Holy One of God.
Luke 5:27-32
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
To receive God’s free gift of salvation, we must look to Jesus alone, To enjoy fellowship with GOD, we must not only know that we have been forgiven of all sin but we must also know that we are made Righteous, which is acceptable to ALMIGHTY GOD. We must trust in Jesus’ death on the cross as our payment for sin and in His resurrection. “This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe” Romans 3:22 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:”.
When we follow Him in “the way,” we can be assured of following Him all the way to Heaven. Our responsibility is to exercise faith in CHRIST, the One who fulfilled the Law on our behalf n brought an end to the Law’s sacrifices through His own sacrificial death. we share in the inheritance of CHRIST n enjoy a permanent, unbroken relationship with GOD Hebrews 9:15 “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance”.Through the life-giving HOLY SPIRIT who lives in all of us – Christians Romans 8:9–11 “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of CHRIST, he is none of his. 10 N if CHRIST be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up JESUS from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up CHRIST from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Once they understood the truth of His words, they became changed people, and the world has never been the same.
Psalms 86
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
Jesus prayed, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”.

We all sinned n deserve GOD’s judgment, but our loving FATHER, GOD sent HIS only begotten SON to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in HIM. JESUS, our LORD who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that HE died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buries n rose from the dead according to the Holy Bible. If you truly believe n trust in your heart, receiving JESUS alone as your SAVIOUR, declaring (by Baptism) JESUS is The LORD n SAVIOUR, you will be SAVED from the judgment n spend ETERNITY with GOD in HEAVEN….
In The name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.. Amen
