WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
There is only one Savior that GOD has given to the world. Jesus Christ and ONLY He can save us from our sins. Only Jesus is the way to Heaven! To put our faith, our trust in anyone else will prove to be futile.
The Bible Says:
“Salvation is found in NO ONE ELSE, for there is NO other NAME under heaven given to men by which WE must be SAVED." (Acts 4:12)
If you're betting that you're going to Heaven because you think you have the hook up in Heaven through Mary (Jesus’ mother), Peter, Paul, Etc! Then my friends, you're going to be in for “A Rude Awakening” When Jesus Christ comes back for His church.
The Bible says concerning Mary:
“In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.” (Luke 1:26-31)
Note: Mary was chosen by GOD to carry in her womb the “Messiah” BUT she also needed a savior just like the rest of us! In Mary’s own words, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices (Watch this… Don’t Miss It!) “IN GOD MY SAVIOR...” (Luke 1:46-47) Mary calls her unborn son, her GOD and Savior! So Mary can’t get you into Heaven. Mary says she’s a servant of GOD herself… "I am the Lord's SERVANT," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.” (Luke 1:38)
And to Joseph an angel said to him concerning the baby that his future wife was carrying… “She (Mary) will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) BECAUSE HE (Jesus) WILL save HIS people FROM their SINS." (Matthew 1:21, 24)
The prophet Isaiah said this about Mary… "The virgin" will be with child and WILL give BIRTH to a SON, and THEY will call HIM Immanuel" --WHICH means, "GOD WITH US." (Isaiah 7:14) ALL Scriptures point to ONE Savior and ONE Savior ALONE!
Note: Some have made Mary a co-redeemer along with Jesus Christ and this is a blasphemy against GOD… In the Scriptures Mary calls herself a servant of God, "I am the Lord's SERVANT," Mary answered.” (Luke 1:38) NOWHERE in the Bible does it says she is either! GOD says, "I AM the LORD; that is MY name! (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) I WILL NOT give my glory to ANOTHER…” (Isaiah 42:8) GOD would NEVER give His glory to ANYONE else but HIMSELF! There’s only ONE SAVIOR… Jesus Christ!
Concerning Peter and The Apostles the Bible says this…
“He (Jesus) called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.” (Matthew 10:1-3) As Jesus disciples they were given a mandate from Jesus himself to… As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:7-8)
Note: Peter was one of the 12 men that were handpicked by our Lord to be one of HIS disciples. Peter declared without hesitation that Jesus is the Savior of the world and this is how he said it… “Simon Peter answered, "YOU are THE Christ, the Son of the living God." In the book of John Peter declares it boldly again… “Simon Peter answered him (Jesus), "Lord, to whom shall we go? YOU have the WORDS of ETERNAL life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." (Matthew 16:16, John 6:68-69) Peter was also ordained by Jesus to start HIS church… Who’s church? Answer: Christ church and Christ church alone… “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I WILL build MY church…” (Matthew 16:18) Peter was also an instrument that the Lord chose to bring HIS Message to the world.
This what the Bible says concerning Paul…
“Meanwhile, Saul(Paul) was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind…” (Acts 9:1-9)
Note: It took Jesus appearing to Paul(Saul) for Paul to convert and change his evil ways. Paul was a murderer, a persecutor of the church, a lost soul that needed Jesus to save him also! This is Paul’s admission to Timothy… “Here IS a TRUSTWORTHY saying that deserves FULL acceptance: Christ Jesus came INTO the world to SAVE sinners (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!)--OF whom I am THE WORST.” (1Timothy 1:15) Paul in all his Epistles is ALWAYS pointing ALL people to Christ and Christ ALONE… “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: CHRIST JESUS came INTO the world to SAVE SINNERS…” (1Timothy 1:15, Acts 9:1-9, Acts 22:20)
Jesus tells Ananias that Paul was his chosen instrument to spread the message of salvation… “But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) This man (Paul) is MY CHOSEN instrument TO carry MY NAME (Jesus Christ) before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.” (Acts 9:15, 1 Corinthians 15:8-9)
To "The Corinthian Church" Paul told them this… “Is Christ divided? (Watch This... Don't Miss It!) WAS Paul CRUCIFIED for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?” (1Corinthians 1:13) Notice how Paul is always pointing everyone to Christ Jesus!
Note: Mary the mother of Jesus, Peter, Paul and all the disciples were blessed and chosen by GOD to bring all of us the good news that, mankind has redemption through ONE Messiah (Jesus Christ)! John the Baptist testified that there is only “ONE LAMB OF GOD,” that takes away the sins of the World”! (John 1:29) If you have placed your trust in anyone else other than in Jesus Christ then according to “The Bible” Heaven won’t be your home! “SALVATION is found in NO ONE else, for there is NO other NAME (Jesus Christ) under heaven given to men BY which WE MUST BE SAVED." (Acts 4:12)
Jesus says, if we don’t believe in who HE says He Is! Then all our sins still remain on us and we’re still lost… “I told you that you would DIE in your SINS; (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) “IF you DO NOT believe that I am [The ONE I claim to be], You WILL indeed DIE in YOUR sins." (Luke 19:10, John 8:24)
Jesus and Jesus ALONE can save us! "I AM the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE. (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!) NO ONE comes TO the Father EXPECT through ME!” (John 14:6) – ONLY One WAY to HEAVEN and that’s through Jesus Christ and HIM ALONE!!
“WHO CAN YOU TRUST?” Is the title of this teaching! The only person WE can fully trust to save us, help us in our time of need, to be with here on Earth and then someone day to take us Heaven, is Jesus Christ and Him alone. “Remember Jesus is NOT a man that HE Should LIE”! (Number 23:19) And this is what Jesus says about those that choose to follow, believe and obey HIM… “I GIVE them ETERNAL LIFE, and they SHALL NEVER PERISH; NO ONE can SNATCH them out of my HAND. My Father, WHO has given them to ME, IS greater than ALL; NO ONE can snatch THEM out of my Father's HAND.” (John 10:28-29) NO ONE can ever snatch us out of Jesus or the Father hand once we give our lives completely to Him. Who can make such a promise and really keep it... Jesus WILL never let you GO! In John 10:28-29 GOD Guarantees’ US this amazing promise and HE will never break ANY of His Promises, NEVER!!
Here is your chance to receive forgiveness for all your sins and to receive eternal life. Jesus alone can offer you “Eternal life” NO other figure in the HISTORY OF MANKIND can do this… None of them can help you or save you! Everyone in the Bible (Men & Women) are chosen instruments of GOD to bring us the good news of the gospel… Which is Christ and Christ ONLY! You can completely trust Jesus to do exactly what HE says He can do for you … “God is NOT a man, that HE should lie, NOR a son of man, that HE should change HIS mind. Does HE speak and THEN not ACT? Does HE promise and NOT fulfill?” (Numbers 23:19) I pray that you don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Please accept the Holy Spirit’s invitation today…
“Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. Thank you for sacrificing Your life to save me, then rising to life again that I might live forever in Heaven with You. I turn from my sins and invite You into my life. Help me to live in a way that pleases You, for whatever time You give me here on earth”. Amen! (For, "EVERYONE who calls on the NAME of the LORD will BE saved.”!!) Romans 10:13
Jesus says, “…WHOEVER comes to me I will NEVER drive AWAY.” (John 6:37)
GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS
