Good day. Today's video Cause and Effect is on the topic of: Contrary winds whether they are physical or spiritual, cause waves of doubt and uncertainty; the effect of these waves is fear and unbelief even unto death. The thief (devil) comes to steal, kill and destroy; our Lord Jesus Christ came that we might have life and life more abundantly. The spiritual winds include doctrine, the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and lusts of other things that enter into the heart and choke the word of God (Mark 4:18-19) that was sown in your heart at the beginning of your salvation; and the truth of the gospel of Christ that has been preached unto you by HIS apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers which were given for the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body of Christ, until we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: And that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive (Ephesians 4:11-14). Ephesians 4:15-16 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (KJV) There is “one” gospel (doctrine) of Christ that will keep us on the sure foundation firmly anchored (hope) to the Rock of our salvation, so that when the storms or trials of our faith come, we will not be moved. We will hold fast knowing the truth of the gospel and that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7). This is why it is so important that our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God; and to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness on a daily basis and allow the Holy Spirit, which we have been given, to lead and guide us into all truth (John 16:13-15). Because the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isaiah 32:17-18). We will remain anchored in the hope of salvation, not focusing on the problems or storms of this life that are causing waves of doubt and confusion stirring up fear and unbelief, but keeping our focus on the Lord Jesus Christ our sure foundation that will hold up to the waves, giving us strength and wisdom with which he too rebuked the winds and spoke unto the sea, “peace be still”, and calmed the waves and immediately safety was brought forth. And concerning doctrine, many in the Church are tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine (cause), by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; these winds of doctrine cause waves of doubt and uncertainty in what is truth, and they can lead to fear and unbelief (effect) in one’s walk in the Spirit if they allow it to enter into their heart. Knowing the truth that is in Jesus (Christ – Ephesians 4:20-21) will set you free and keep you free indeed; it will calm the contrary doctrinal winds so you can hear the still small voice of God guiding you into all truth which will put you immediately on a Rock-solid foundation (1Corinthians 10:4, 1Corinthians 1:24, Colossians 1:27) which will keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. So, brethren, let us cast all our care unto God and let him do the caring for us, and continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel by contrary winds of doctrine which are not of God, but of men, doctrines of devils that lie in wait to deceive (1Timothy 4:1-6) which will have a negative effect on you and your salvation. Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (KJV) God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video A Mighty God is on the topic of: Psalm 50:1 The mighty (strength, power, Almighty) God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. (KJV) We have a mighty God who has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; and has provided the deliverance from this present evil world through his Son Christ Jesus; but it is up to each of us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling that we may stand perfect and complete in all his will, and that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:19-21). Remember, our Lord Jesus Christ came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly (John 10:10); it is your choice if you want a more abundant life that is only in him. The witness of God is greater than that of men; and this is the witness that he has given to us which he has testified of his Son: He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar, because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1John 5:9-11). John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (KJV) Brethren, many are called, but few are chosen because few choose to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life (1John 5:12). So, our might (may be able) leads to uncertainty, possibly unto eternal death; His might (strength, ability, power) leads to eternal life, and this life is in his Son. It’s up to you to know. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video The Latter End is on the topic of: The latter end of our salvation is at hand. Today is the day of salvation, now is the accepted time; and one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day and we do not know the day nor the hour when the Son of man shall come; but do know, he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (Mark 13:13). It's not how we begin in the Spirit, but how we continue in the faith grounded and settled to the latter end our salvation. Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. (KJV) 2 Peter 3:9-14 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (KJV) Hebrews 2:1-3 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip (to flow by, carelessly pass). For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; (KJV) Therefore - Because God has spoken to us by his Son; and because that Son is so great and glorious a personage; and because the subject which is addressed to us is of such infinite importance to our welfare. We ought to give the more earnest heed - We should hear the doctrine of Christ with care, candour, and deep concern. Lest at any time we should let them slip - Μη ποτε παραρρυωμεν "Lest at any time we should leak out." This is a metaphor taken from unstanch vessels; the staves not being close together, the fluid put into them leaks through the chinks and crevices. Superficial hearers lose the benefit of the word preached, as the unseasoned vessel does its fluid; nor can any one hear to the saving of his soul, unless he give most earnest heed, which he will not do unless he consider the dignity of the speaker, the importance of the subject, and the absolute necessity of the salvation of his soul. St. Chrysostom renders it μη ποτε απολωμεθαεκπεσωμεν, lest we perish, lest we fall away. (from Adam Clarke Commentary – Hebrews 2:1) Beloved brethren, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; run your race with patience enduring to the end, receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end, overcoming the wicked one, knowing that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (KJV) Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. So, hold fast the profession of faith without wavering, for you shall reap eternal life if you faint not. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video It's All Good is on the topic of: Everyone lies; It's all good in Christ when we accept and partake of all things that we have been given access too by and through Jesus Christ. Our Father through his Son has provided everything needed for our salvation. When you were born again you received the measure or fullness of the gift of Christ; nothing was left out, it was a complete anointing of the Holy Spirit given in earnest until our adoption into the family of God is finalized at the judgement seat of Christ. Do know this brethren, that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). As well as that in Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10). So, beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (Colossians 2:8). For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end (Hebrews 3:14). So, to all that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, it's all good. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video Inside Information is on the topic of: Be sure your sin will find you out; when you least expect it, it will be made manifest and open before the eyes of all, and there will be consequences to live with. But if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). The Lord knows your inside information; God knows the thoughts and intents of men's hearts. There is nothing hid that shall not be made manifest (Mark 4:22). All things are open unto the eyes of God (Hebrews 4:12-13). John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (KJV) You cannot hide; so instead of trying to outrun your sin or hide it (although it is only hidden to men) or sweep it under the rug so to speak, why not confess it to God through his Son Jesus Christ, since he already knows who you are and what you have been doing, and ask for help in overcoming the hidden thing(s) of darkness that is in your heart, the sin(s) that so easily harasses you, brings you into bondage, or keeps in you in bondage. The truth will set you free. We have a great high priest Jesus Christ the Son of God who sits at the right hand of God forever making intersession for us who is able to help us in time of need, in time of temptation, and in time of overcoming if we come clean and work with him, allowing him to lead and guide us in the victory we already have been given in him by his learning obedience through the things which he suffered and was tempted in or with; by his daily sacrifice of dying to self, his wants and desires, and the death of the cross; and by his resurrection, his victory over sin, seated forever at the right hand of God; and this is where he would like you to remain in him as well, not tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine or the winds of the prince of the power of the air, the devil, the father of lies (John 8:44) who has sinned from the beginning (1 John 3:8), the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Hebrews 2:17-18 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (KJV) 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (KJV) Many believe they are getting away with sin doing whatever they want in this life and that nobody sees or knows; but God sees and knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart, and in the end there will be judgment and a sentence of eternal life or death. Choose you this day whom you will serve; good or evil, life or death, God or satan; it is your choice. Just remember God sees all, hears all, knows all; nothing is hidden from him, and you will receive a just judgement either way; one unto eternal life or one unto eternal damnation. 1 Timothy 5:24-25 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. (KJV) Revelation 21:7-8 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (KJV) Dearly loved brethren, watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life, and look to the Lord for guidance and counsel, correction and instruction in righteousness that you may be perfect and complete in all the will of God (Galatians 1:4) and stand before the judgement seat of Christ without spot or blemish clothed in white raiment, his righteousness. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video What Happened? is on the topic of: What happened to Job is explained, and what can happen to us as well if we are not watching and praying in the Spirit always, being sober and being vigilant, because our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour (1Peter 5:8). Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10-11); going to and fro in the earth, walking up and down in it, seeking or listening for an opportunity to steal, kill, and destroy. Fear is the greatest thief if allowed to enter into the heart and go out of our mouth by our words. Fear, confusion, and doubt are not of God, but of the enemy (satan, the devil); and if he can influence us to speak words of fear, confusion, and doubt then we have given him a door of opportunity to enter in and begin to steal, kill, and destroy our faith or our life; which is why we are to watch and pray always, being vigilant, and examine ourselves if we are continuing in faith, speaking words of faith for ourselves and for others. By our words we shall be justified (free) and by our words we shall be condemned (pronounced guilty) (Matthew 12:37). Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Our words will determine our world around us, our outcome; they let others know where our heart is, and sadly as well as the devil our enemy. Whatsoever we shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever we loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven by our words. So let us examine ourselves, what is in our thoughts and heart (out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks), what words are we speaking, are they death or are they life; and if they are not in line with the word of God (life), for the words that he speaks to us are spirit and they are life, let us put our hands to our mouth and be quiet and seek our Father in heaven for forgiveness and for his guidance and counsel to bind the devil and take back with the Spirit of Christ that which is rightfully ours given unto us by our Father in heaven through his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. God already knows the thoughts and intents of our heart (Hebrews 4:12). By his grace (Jesus Christ) he has NOT given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7); he has given us the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (against the principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places); he has given us of his Spirit, Christ in us the hope of glory, his wisdom and power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy (Luke 10:19), and nothing shall by any means hurt us; he has given us all that we need to overcome the wicked one. Now all we need to do is humble ourselves and cast all our care unto God and let him do the caring for us so that we don't end up speaking words that may put us on the devil's turf so to speak. Job 1:1-5 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. (KJV) Read the rest of Job chapter 1 to see what all befell him. Job 3:25-26 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. (KJV) Read Job chapter 40-42 on the Lord’s rebuke, Job putting his hand to his mouth at the rebuke of the Lord, and then the tender mercy of the Lord, and the restoration of Job and all that he had lost and more. Brethren, give heed; Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience (endurance, patient continuance(waiting)) of Job in his affliction, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy; so if you find yourself in a Job moment, be still (quiet, rest) and know that God is faithful and has a way of escape that you may be able to bear it and overcome the enemy, the devil. So, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that you may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Take Comfort is on the topic of: Take comfort in knowing that God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, the God of all comfort made a plan for your life before the foundation of the world. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (KJV) 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. (KJV) Our heavenly Father's will is that you might be delivered from this present evil world; he has made the way of escape through his Son; he has given you the truth that will make you free and keep you free indeed through his Son; and he has given you the record of the life, eternal life that is in his Son Jesus Christ, whom he sent. Jesus Christ came that you might have life and have it more abundantly; so take comfort in the fact that God before the foundation of the world made a very good plan of salvation for you personally as well as for the whosoever’s that accept salvation through his Son Jesus Christ and come into agreement with the way, the truth, and the life that he promised. Galatians 1:3-4 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (KJV) 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (KJV) John 3:16-17 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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (KJV) Having this comfort, trust in his plan of salvation for you and come into agreement with it so that when you are faced with troubles or afflictions for Christ’s sake you will be able to overcome all things through Christ who strengthens you, and comfort others as you have been comforted. And take comfort that our heavenly Father knows what you have need of before you ask. Our life should not consist in the abundance of things which we possess, it should consist in the abundance of all that our Father has given unto us in his Son; so seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness where your life in the Spirit consists, and all that you have need of in this life will be added unto you. Brethren where are you finding comfort? It is our heavenly Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom; and the kingdom of God is within you; so, ask, seek, and find your peace and comfort given unto you in Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Exceeding Expectations is on the topic of: The Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think; it is where grace abounds; where all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are revealed; where exceeding joy and abundant peace is; where there is health and safety spiritually and physically; where there is power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy; where there is life and life more abundantly; where unto us is given exceeding great and precious promises; where all of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; where we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; where we have received the measure (fullness) of the gift of Christ; where we have been given an unction from the Holy One and we know all things; whereby we have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; where without measure all these and more is available to all those who believe, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man/woman to profit. Our life is hid with Christ in God, exceeding expectations. 2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV) Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (KJV) God told Abraham "I am thy exceeding great reward" in Genesis 15:1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Do you believe God, that all of his promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen and that he loves you and sent his Son to die for you that you might be made the righteousness of God in him, and a partaker of the divine nature? Without faith it is impossible to please God. Jude 24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (KJV) Beloved brethren, we encourage you to walk in the Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, and remain seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of God, where all things are possible to those who believe. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Patient in Tribulation is on the topic of: Patient in tribulation. Our Lord Jesus Christ had his own trials, tribulations, and persecutions while here on this earth, even unto death, yet through all these things he committed himself unto God who is faithful and endured unto eternal life; and he has left us an example on how to persevere and overcome the world as he was tempted in all manner as we are yet he sinned not. How are going to handle the trials, tribulations, and persecutions that come with salvation; all those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Will you rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and continue instant in prayer so that you are able to respond in the Spirit, to hear the way of escape, or will you try to overcome on your own first, reacting in the flesh by leaning to your own understanding which is flawed and be overcome and the latter end is worse than the beginning? It is the trying of our faith (our trust and confidence in God and his plan of salvation that he planned for us personally from the foundation of the world, delivered unto us by and through Christ Jesus), that works patience (cheerful endurance, constancy, waiting); so, rejoice in the Lord always knowing he has your escape planned from the foundation of the world. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation (pressure, afflicted, anguish, trouble, persecution) worketh patience; And patience, experience (trustiness, tried character, proof); and experience, hope (expectation, confidence, faith): And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (KJV) 1 Peter 2:19-25 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (KJV) Will you be patient in tribulation and wait for the perfect gift from above, an answer on how to overcome, the way of escape, so that you are able to stand before the Lord Christ having done all to stand, being made the righteousness of God in him through faith? Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (KJV) This is where you will find the way of escape. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Facts of Life is on the topic of: Two immutable (fixed, unchangeable, unalterable) facts of eternal life; you need to know the Father and the Son whom he sent. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; and no man comes unto the Father but by him; and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Do you know the Son, and the Father? It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; behold the kingdom of God is within you; Christ in you the hope of glory. It is your Father in heaven that is leading and guiding you and working in you. The importance of understanding these two unchangeable, unalterable, fixed facts that you cannot know the Father unless you know the Son, and once you know the Son, the Son can reveal the Father unto you is vital to eternal life. The revelation of Christ, knowing who the Son of the living God is, allows you to come unto the Father and come to know the Father. Without these two immutable things working in you and on your behalf, there is no life. John 8:15-19 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. (KJV) Matthew 11:25-27 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because 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. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (KJV) 1 John 5:9-13 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 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. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
