PRECISION of SCRIPTURE

 

Matthew 7:21-23

King James Version

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 

shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 

but he that doeth the will of my Father 

which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, 

have we not prophesied in thy name? 

and in thy name have cast out devils? 

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, 

I never knew you: 

depart from me, 

ye that work iniquity.

Leave it to the HOLY SPIRIT to plant something of GREAT importance in this servant's mind.

This, as I commuted to work yesterday.

This title was His, as are all links to supporting articles here.

If not for the SPIRIT of GOD, I'd still be searching other books, and not taking to heart the Bible.

But when GOD's SPIRIT is in you, things are clear, certain, and compelling.

Your search for absolute truth ends.

JESUS is the TRUTH.

He is the WORD.

And His WORD is final.

1 Corinthians 10:21

King James Version

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, 

and the cup of devils: 

ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, 

and of the table of devils.

He saves us from all the foolishness, and destructiveness, of the world.

The Bible tells us everything we need to know, such as --

JESUS embodies everything that is GOD.

Colossians 2:9

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead 

bodily.

He is PEACE.

Ephesians 2:14-16

King James Version

14 For he is our peace, 

who hath made both one, 

and hath broken down 

the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, 

even the law of commandments 

contained in ordinances; 

for to make in himself of twain 

one new man, 

so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both 

unto God in one body by the cross, 

having slain the enmity thereby:

He is LIFE.

John 14:6

King James Version

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 LOVE.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 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.

He is LIGHT.

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.

He is SALVATION.

Acts 4:10-12

King James Version

10 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.

11 This is the stone 

which was set at nought of you builders, 

which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven

given among men, whereby we must be saved.

He is POWER.

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

The ONLY election that MATTERS

 Acts 13:48

King James Version

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, 

they were glad, 

and glorified the word of the Lord: 

and as many as were ordained to eternal life 

believed.

Why am I not interested in man's elections?

Shall we vote more of the corrupt?

Shall we hear more lies?

Shall we be manipulated even more?

Shall Satan continue to lord it over us?

Shall we have the same kind of society?

Even as different wolves wear sheep's clothing?

Why am I not into elections at all?

I've learned of a DIFFERENT kind of election.

A magnificent one.

Something the world needs right now.

A different sort, that matters most.

SPIRIT and Scripture told me of that "election".

GOD's election.

His elect.

Know of that "election".

As only a born again would know.

Will you be part of that "election"?

Will you be "elected"?

What kind of "office" are you running for?

What kind does the LORD want you to run for?

Call it "doctrine of election", if you will.

For all those faithful to GOD.

For all those born again.

Look what JESUS says:

Matthew 22:14

King James Version

14 For many are called, 

but few are chosen.

Mark 13:20

King James Version

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, 

no flesh should be saved: 

but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, 

he hath shortened the days.

Mark 13:24-27

King James Version

24 But in those days, 

after that tribulation, 

the sun shall be darkened, 

and the moon shall not give her light,

25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, 

and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

26 And then shall they see the Son of man 

coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27 And then shall he send his angels, 

and shall gather together his elect 

from the four winds, 

from the uttermost part of the earth 

to the uttermost part of heaven.

Luke 10:20

King James Version

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, 

that the spirits are subject unto you; 

but rather rejoice, 

because your names are written 

in heaven.

Luke 10:21

King James Version

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, 

and said, 

I thank thee, O Father, 

Lord of heaven and earth, 

that thou hast hid these things 

from the wise and prudent, 

and hast revealed them unto babes: 

even so, Father; 

for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Luke 10:22

King James Version

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: 

and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; 

and who the Father is, but the Son, 

and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:44-45

King James Version

44 No man can come to me, 

except the Father which hath sent me draw him: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, 

And they shall be all taught of God. 

Every man therefore that hath heard, 

and hath learned of the Father, 

cometh unto me.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.

John 15:16

King James Version

16 Ye have not chosen me, 

but I have chosen you, 

and ordained you, 

that ye should go and bring forth fruit, 

and that your fruit should remain: 

that whatsoever ye shall ask 

of the Father in my name, 

he may give it you.

John 17:9-10

King James Version

9 I pray for them: 

I pray not for the world, 

but for them which thou hast given me; 

for they are thine.

10 And all mine are thine,

and thine are mine; 

and I am glorified in them.

The rest of Scripture says more about this kind of "election":

Romans 8:28

King James Version

28 And we know that all things 

work together for good 

to them that love God, 

to them who are the called 

according to his purpose.

Romans 8:29

King James Version

29 For whom he did foreknow, 

he also did predestinate 

to be conformed to the image of his Son, 

that he might be the firstborn 

among many brethren.

Romans 8:30

King James Version

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, 

them he also called: 

and whom he called, them he also justified: 

and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Ephesians 1:4-6

King James Version

4 According as he hath chosen us in him 

before the foundation of the world, 

that we should be holy and without blame 

before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us 

unto the adoption of children 

by Jesus Christ to himself, 

according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, 

wherein he hath made us accepted 

in the beloved.

Ephesians 2:8-9

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

King James Version

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway 

to God for you, 

brethren beloved of the Lord, 

because God hath from the beginning 

chosen you to salvation 

through sanctification of the Spirit 

and belief of the truth:

14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, 

to the obtaining of the glory 

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 1:8-9

King James Version

8 Be not thou therefore ashamed 

of the testimony of our Lord, 

nor of me his prisoner: 

but be thou partaker 

of the afflictions of the gospel 

according to the power of God;

9 Who hath saved us, 

and called us with an holy calling,

 not according to our works, 

but according to his own purpose and grace, 

which was given us in Christ Jesus 

before the world began,

Revelation 21:27

King James Version

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

This one on GOD's beloved Israel:

Romans 11:28

King James Version

28 As concerning the gospel, 

they are enemies for your sakes: 

but as touching the election, 

they are beloved for the father's sakes.

The SUCCESS of any elected leader relies on the following:

If they have a love for GOD, or not.

If they believe in JESUS, or not.

If they are guided by SPIRIT, or not.

If they have a love for Israel, or not.

If they are born again, or not.

That's the election we speak of.

The only election we care about.

The only election that pleases GOD.

HOW to LOVE GOD

 

Romans 8:37

King James Version

37 Nay, in all these things 

we are more than conquerors 

through him that loved us.

It's really very simple.

What GOD asks of us.

How are we to love Him?

How does He want to be loved?

SPIRIT led me to these verses.

From THREE different sources.

The OLD TESTAMENT tells us how, through Moses:

Deuteronomy 6:5

King James Version

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thine heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy might.

Deuteronomy 10:12-13

King James Version

12 And now, Israel, 

what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, 

but to fear the Lord thy God, 

to walk in all his ways, 

and to love him, 

and to serve the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

13 To keep the commandments of the Lord, 

and his statutes, 

which I command thee this day 

for thy good?

The NEW TESTAMENT tells us how, through JESUS:

Matthew 6:24

King James Version

24 No man can serve two masters: 

for either he will hate the one, and love the other; 

or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew 22:36-40

King James Version

36 Master, 

which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

Luke 6:46

King James Version

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, 

and do not the things which I say?

John 14:15

King James Version

15 If ye love me, 

keep my commandments.

John 14:21

King James Version

21 He that hath my commandments, 

and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: 

and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, 

and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:23

King James Version

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

If a man love me, he will keep my words: 

and my Father will love him, 

and we will come unto him, 

and make our abode with him.

Apostle John tells us how:

1 John 2:5

King James Version

5 But whoso keepeth his word, 

in him verily is the love of God perfected: 

hereby know we that we are in him.

1 John 4:16

King James Version

16 And we have known and believed 

the love that God hath to us. 

God is love; 

and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,

 and God in him.

1 John 4:17

King James Version

17 Herein is our love made perfect, 

that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: 

because as he is, so are we in this world.

1 John 4:19

King James Version

19 We love him, 

because he first loved us.

1 John 4:20

King James Version

20 If a man say, I love God, 

and hateth his brother, he is a liar: 

for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, 

how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

1 John 4:21

King James Version

21 And this commandment have we from him, 

That he who loveth God love his brother also.

1 John 5:1

King James Version

5 Whosoever believeth 

that Jesus is the Christ 

is born of God: 

and every one that loveth him that begat 

loveth him also that is begotten of him.

1 John 5:2

King James Version

2 By this we know 

that we love the children of God, 

when we love God, 

and keep his commandments.

1 John 5:3

King James Version

3 For this is the love of God, 

that we keep his commandments: 

and his commandments are not grievous.

In SUMMARY, loving GOD means:

We love Him with all our heart, soul, might, and mind.

We walk in His ways, and serve Him.

We keep His commandments and statutes.

We serve GOD, not mammon.

We love our neighbor/brother, as ourselves.

We keep His words.

18 No man hath seen God at any time, 

the only begotten Son,

before men,

which is in heaven.

that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father 

in my name, 

he may give it you.

no more strangers and foreigners, 

but fellowcitizens with the saints, 

and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon 

the foundation of the apostles and prophets, 

Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together 

groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together 

for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 

King James Version

and one mediator between God and men, 

the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, 

to be testified in due time.

Hebrews 7:25 

King James Version

25 Wherefore he is able also 

to save them to the uttermost 

that come unto God by him, 

seeing he ever liveth 

to make intercession for them.

Hebrews 9:14-15 

King James Version

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, 

who through the eternal Spirit 

offered himself without spot to God, 

purge your conscience from dead works 

to serve the living God?

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.

Hebrews 9:24

into the holy places made with hands, 

which are the figures of the true;

King James Version

2 Looking unto Jesus the author 

and finisher of our faith; 

who for the joy that was set before him 

endured the cross, 

despising the shame, 

and is set down at the right hand 

of the throne of God.

1 John 5:10-12 

King James Version

10 He that believeth on the Son of God 

hath the witness in himself: 

he that believeth not God 

hath made him a liar; 

because he believeth not the record 

that God gave of his Son.

11 And this is the record, 

that God hath given to us eternal life, 

and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; 

and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Revelation 1:5-6 

King James Version

who is the faithful witness,

and the prince of the kings of the earth.

and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests 

unto God and his Father; 

to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. 

Amen.

Revelation 5:5 

King James Version

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, 

Weep not: 

behold, 

the Lion of the tribe of Judah, 

the Root of David, 

hath prevailed to open the book, 

and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Revelation 5:7-9 

King James Version

out of the right hand of him 

that sat upon the throne.

the four beasts 

and four and twenty elders 

fell down before the Lamb, 

having every one of them harps, 

and golden vials full of odours, 

which are the prayers of saints.

9 And they sung a new song, saying, 

Thou art worthy to take the book, 

and to open the seals thereof: 

for thou wast slain, 

and hast redeemed us to God 

by thy blood 

out of every kindred, 

and tongue, 

and people, 

and nation;
