Faith is where you know the true. Is like jumping out from darkness to light. Not the other way which is jumping into darkness. The word/Bible is the true.
John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.”

Paul wrote that “all scripture is breathed out by God” (2 Timothy 3:16).

Full Confidence comes when you know the true.

If you understand who God is and who you are in him, you are on the narrow gate. Yes God is love but the main attribute of God is holy holy holy.

Revelation 4:8 — The New International Version (NIV)
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“ ‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’

who was, and is, and is to come.”

The creatures din't said

(Love Love Love)

1 Peter 1:16
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

Leviticus 11:44
For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.

Leviticus 11:45
For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

Leviticus 19:2
"Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

Leviticus 20:7
Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.

Isaiah 35:8
And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it--only those who walk in the Way--and fools will not stray onto it.

That narrow road will lead to paradise. On that narrow road there will be tribulation. Stay the course.

Psalm 119:105 Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet and Light Unto My Path

In simple term. You are in prison and in prison you have free will. Eat sleep do whatever you like in prison(slave by sin). Only by the blood of Christ you are purchase out from the prison. Jesus paid the ultimate price using his own blood which acceptable to GOD. Now you are a new creature and slave to righteousness.

…it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." —1 Peter 1:16


We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good, and may later be fulfilled, but in the meantime God must cause their importance to us to decrease. The only thing that truly matters is whether a person will accept the God who will make him holy. At all costs, a person must have the right relationship with God.

Do I believe I need to be holy? Do I believe that God can come into me and make me holy? If through your preaching you convince me that I am unholy, I then resent your preaching. The preaching of the gospel awakens an intense resentment because it is designed to reveal my unholiness, but it also awakens an intense yearning and desire within me. God has only one intended destiny for mankind— holiness. His only goal is to produce saints. God is not some eternal blessing-machine for people to use, and He did not come to save us out of pity— He came to save us because He created us to be holy. Atonement through the Cross of Christ means that God can put me back into perfect oneness with Himself through the death of Jesus Christ, without a trace of anything coming between us any longer.

Never tolerate, because of sympathy for yourself or for others, any practice that is not in keeping with a holy God. Holiness means absolute purity of your walk before God, the words coming from your mouth, and every thought in your mind— placing every detail of your life under the scrutiny of God Himself. Holiness is not simply what God gives me, but what God has given me that is being exhibited in my life.

2 Corinthians 5:1–21
The New King James Version
Assurance of the Resurrection

5 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.



This text deals with a question on the minds of many: What happens to believers when they die? Christians will leave these bodies, be resurrected in new bodies, and be with the Lord. Plainly speaking, to be absent from the body means we will be present with the Lord.

The truth that to be absent from the body means we will be present with the Lord proves two false doctrines to be false. It refutes the false doctrine of “soul sleep” (saying that the believing dead are held in some sort of suspended animation until the resurrection occurs) and the false doctrine of “purgatory” (saying that the believing dead must be “cleaned up” through their own suffering before coming into the presence of God).

Good worship song

Challenge anything you hear from any pastor until you read it yourself in your own bible.

You need to know the original (The Truth/Word/Bible) in order to spot the fake.

The first “LORD” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the eternal God of the universe, the Great I AM who revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3. This self-existent, omnipotent God speaks in Psalm 110 to someone else who is also David’s “Lord.”

The second “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the Messiah, or the Christ. Psalm 110 describes this second “Lord”

The Bible is very detail

I will pray for the boy and his family.

Cult is where they teach something different then Jesus.
Or someone have come after Jesus or new book other then bible.

He is just lost. Lack of understanding.

If you understand who God is and who you are. You are in the right track. Give up everything you chase in this world and go after God's heart.

Very interesting sermon.

God the Father loves you as the same amount that he love Jesus.
