May we serve You ...

"if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord... you will be saved" (romans 10:9)
this confession doesn’t mean that i say Jesus is Lord and that’s it, i am saved. no
it means that i am recognizing Jesus as the absolute Lord over my life = i am giving up all my ambitions, honor, and absolutely everything else for Jesu...
God has “predestined (those who love Him) to become conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29)
to love God means to obey Him (John 14:15).
so it’s those who obey God at all times that are predestined to become like Jesus!
the first steps towards obedience are:
repentance, being born again, and wholeheartedl...
"obedience of faith" appears twice in romans (1:5 & 16:26), and it is what we are called to do. and if we are not doing it, then we are not really believing.
what does "obedience of faith" mean?
i believe God's Word → i obey it → i die to my self-will and do God's will at all times → the Holy Spirit transforms my inne...
the first three steps towards salvation are:
repentance, water baptism, and deciding to do God’s will at all times (not just for a moment but forever)
repentance = a 180-degree turn from sin. i looked at sin, i liked sin, i loved sin BUT now i have the same passion ONLY for God
baptism = a promise we make to God th...
"i believe in Jesus" is on everyone’s lips, but in so few hearts
it is only those who OBEY Him that truly believe in Him. if you are not obeying God, then you have NO faith
obedience means doing HIS will at all times, exactly as Jesus did when He was on earth (John 6:38)
and the first three steps towards doing it are...

most people are focusing solely on God’s blessings without even considering the conditions that come with them. and by doing that they will never get to experience any of His promises
BUT if we fulfill what God asks of us, we don’t even need to spend our time thinking about the blessing. God will take care of that par...
in Romans 16:25-26, we read that the mysteries of the gospel have now been made known to all the nations by God TO LEAD them to "obedience of faith"
what does "obedience of faith" mean?
i believe the Word of God and i submit my will to it, even when it is against my own desires. i die to my self-will and choose God’...
God truly has a plan for each one of us, but it will only start "materializing" IF we repent, are born again, and have a zeal for doing God's will and not ours, at all times, exactly as Jesus did His whole life (john 6:38)
God loves us and wants us to be at peace, BUT we have to show Him that we love Him as well for ...
we are to live by the commandments of the NEW law that has come with Christ
Jesus “has made the first covenant obsolete, and whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear” (Hebrews 8:13)
the new law:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) + "the Word became flesh,...
Jesus was a Man exactly like us when He was on earth, so He needed to sit in prayer just as we do, and worship His Father in prayer exactly as we must do
BUT Jesus worshipped God THE MOST by always obeying Him. He came on earth not to do His will, but God's will (John 6:38)
if we want to worship God, there isn’t a be...
repentance is a turn of 180 degrees from sin. we turn our back to sin.
all our lives we looked straight at sin (gossip, alcohol, pornography, lying, anger, and so on) and God was always behind us
BUT through repentance our attitude towards God becomes the one that we had towards sin
i looked at sin, i liked sin, i lo...
Obedience and patience
Together they go,
This is how you will gain them,
For by obeying, you endure.
These are the two the Lord desires,
The Holy Lord, the Victorious One,
So may we also overcome,
For this we already know.
Let us obey and thus endure,
Let us look to Him in suffering,
Let us ask for comfort and faith,...

"Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.'" (Matthew 26:26)
the broken bread = the breaking of the body + flesh
Jesus had His own will broken throughout His whole life, as He always did only God's will (John 6:38) while being tempted...
how do obey God and let Him in?
you wholeheartedly decide to do God’s will instead of yours (this includes repentance and water-baptism)
example: if you want to argue, but God's will is to keep your mouth shout, then you die to your will
+
you give Him the best of your everything (time, body, energy, etc)
example:...
