The One And Only True And Living God

>>>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.

>>>Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is THE STONE WHICH WAS SET AT NOUGHT OF YOU BUILDERS; WHICH IS BECOME THE HEAD OF THE CORNER. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

>>>Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.

The Penalty For Sin Has Been Paid, and We Now Can Pray Directly To God.

>>>Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

>>>***Jesus Christ died on the Cross, in our place, for all of our sins:  Matthew 27:50-51 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,  

>>>***When Jesus died and fulfilled the penalty for our sins, the barrier between God and man caused by sin was removed. That is why the veil was torn, showing we now have direct access to God through Jesus Christ the Son of God. We do not need to pray through a "saint" or "Mary" or any other being; in fact such a thing is idolatry and a grievious sin. Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.

We Have Great Victory Over The Evil Beings Of This World Through Jesus Christ Our Lord!

>>>1 John 4:3-4 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Our Mediator Between God And Man: Jesus Christ

>>>Matthew 27:46-51   About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This man is calling for Elijah!" Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink. The rest said, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him." And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

>>>***Jesus Christ who had constant communication and communion with God the Father since before the world began, was suddenly separated from God becuase He had taken on all our sins and died in our place (although He was sinless). God cannot look on sin because He is perfect. So with this terrible separation He cried out greatly as He did.

>>>***When the veil was torn, the barrier between God and man had been removed. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days later, we have forever more a living Mediator between God and man. As believers, we now have full access to all the power and treasure of heaven according to our faith.

>>>1 Timothy 2:5   For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.

>>>Acts 4:12   "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

>>>John 3:34   For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

>>>John 14:13-14   And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

We Are Not Under The Law But Under Grace

>>>Romans 6:14   For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

>>>Ephesians 2:4-5   But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

>>>***It was impossible for us to keep all points of the law, and if you offended in one thing, then the wages of sin is death. The sacrificing of lambs was to symbolize what Jesus did when He came to earth. He took our punishment in our place for our sins, which is total separation from God for all of eternity, although He Himself was sinless. And He rose again the third day having fulfilled our punishment in the eyes of God the Father.

>>>Romans 3:23   for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

>>>Romans 6:23   For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

>>>***So now we believing in Him and actually becoming a part of the body of Christ, can have fellowship with God and be with Him in the time to come forever more.

>>>Hebrews 2:3   how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

Where Time Shall No More Be

There is a Place beyond the Stars

Where the Creator of all things lives;

That is where there is a sea of glass like unto crystal, where all the angels meet before the great throne.

There is a Place which, though the heavens and Earth be shaken; the third Heaven never will.

There is a Place I cannot yet see, where I will dwell throughout all of the rest of Eternity. Though a Trillion years go by; yet my long journey has just begun.

There will never be any more tears or Torments; no more pain to Pierce the soul. My enemies cannot reach me, and Fear cannot find where I am.

It is a Place far beyond my reach; yet my Savior and Friend will bridge the gap and lead me there. There I cannot yet be, for many people yet need to know; the story of Jesus and how He can Bless, and give Hope to their soul.

We Whose Mind Dwells There

>>>There is a city waiting for us in the presence of God with a perfection so pure. A light not from the shining of the sun by day or of the moon by night but the Lamb is the One who shines so bright.

>>>He will walk among all who dwell there; of them He is no longer ashamed. Purchased by His Blood, and cleansed by the same.

>>>The heavens and the earth pass away; and new ones appear. This time without a sea, or the presence of fear.

>>>Down from heaven comes the city of crystal and gold. With its twelve foundations, colored like a rainbow.

>>>The Hope of the saints has become a thing of the past; for all things have been fulfilled and made fully manifest.

>>>The vineyards of the new earth, provides the finest of wines. And the Son of God partakes again, of the fruit of its vine.

>>>The animals re-created, each have their own name. A child leads them about and they are happy to follow, for no death remains.

>>>And we the Priests of God rule all the heavens and the earth with great wisdom; and those who brought many to repentance, will shine forever in the likeness of the Son.

>>>It doesn't matter if the following story actually happened with the specific cat in the story; I know for certain the true character of this world and am Not deceived as many others are. I know for certain that this story has happened to countless animals in this world over the ages; and a cat is an excellent example of the way things really are.

I Will Strive To Be Ugly

"THE INTEGRITY OF "UGLY"

Everyone in the apartment complex that I lived in knew who Ugly was.

Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world:

fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love. The combination of

these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on

Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should

have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same

side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and

had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always

turning the corner. His tail has long ago been lost, leaving only the

smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch.

Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby, striped-type, except for the

sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing

scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's

one UGLY cat!"

All of the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks

at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their

homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly

always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would

stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw

things at him, he would curl his lanky body around his feet in

forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing

frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their

love. If you ever picked him up, he would immediately begin suckling on

your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.

One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's huskies. They did not

respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I could

hear his screams, and I tired to rush to his aid. By the time I got to

where he was laying, it was apparent that Ugly's sad life was almost at

an end. Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back and lower legs twisted

grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran

down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could

hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must

be hurting him terribly, I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging,

sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering, and

obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear.

I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his

head, then I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the

greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a

little affection, perhaps some compassion. At that moment I thought Ugly

was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did

he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me, or

struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in

me to relieve his pain.

Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat there and held

him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed

little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true

pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more

about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk

show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. He

had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it

was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give

my total to those I cared for.

Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful,

but for me, I will always try to be Ugly
