SOME BASIC
AND BIBLICAL REMINDERS TO ALL CHRISTIANS: CHRISTIANS ARE SAVED BY GRACE AND NOT
BY WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN.
( Ephesians 2:8-9 ) [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.
1. CHRISTIANS ARE CHILDREN OF GOD AFTER THEY RECEIVED
JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR OF THEIR LIFE. WE ARE NOT THE CHILDREN
OF THE DEVIL ANYMORE.
( John 1:12-13 ) [12]But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name:
[13]Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
We are not the children of the Devil anymore.
( John 8:44 ) [44]Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it.
2. CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE LOVERS OF GOD AND OBEYS GOD
COMMANMENTS AND WE ARE NOT LOVERS OF THE WORLD.
( John 14:15 ) If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
God commanded the Christians not to love the World.
( 1John 2:15-17 ) [15]Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him.
[16]For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world.
[17]And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
3. CHRISTIANS WORSHIPING GOD FAITHFULLY NOT PARTIALLY.
( Acts 2:46-47 ) [46]And they, continuing daily
with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat
their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47]Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
Paul rebukes the Christians for faithful in their Worship to God.
( Hebrews 10:25 ) [25]Not forsaking the assembling
of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and
so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
4. CHRISTIANS ARE PATTERNED BY GOD TO THE EXAMPLE OF THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST AND NOT TO THE EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
( Ephesians 2:10 ) For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them.
Jesus Christ said that we are not of the World.
( John 17:16-17 ) [16]They are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
[17]Sanctify them through thy
truth: thy word is truth.
5. CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO BE SOULWINNERS OF CHRIST AND
ALWAYS GIVE TIME TO WIN LOST PEOPLE.
( Luke 10:1-3 ) [1]After these things the Lord
appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into
every city and place, whither he himself would come.
[2]Therefore said he unto them,
The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
[3]Go your ways: behold, I send
you forth as lambs among wolves.
The Lord Jesus Christ is our Model in soulwinning.
( John 9:4-5 ) [4]I must work the works of him
that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
[5]As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.
6. CHRISTIANS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO SUPPORT THE MISSION WORK
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( Philippians
4:15-16 ) [15]Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only.
[16]For even in Thessalonica ye
sent once and again unto my necessity.
7. CHRISTIANS ARE WARN OF GOD NOT TO EQUALLY YOKE WITH
THE UNBELIEVERS AND GOD PROMISE TO APPROVE THEM.
( II Corinthians
6:14 ) Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
God promise to approve those Christians who don't equally yoke with the
unbelievers.
( II Corinthians
6:17-18 ) [17]Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you,
[18]And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
8. CHRISTIANS ARE HEAVENLY CITIZENS AND ARE PILGRIM ONLY
ON THIS EARTH.
(Hebrews 11:16) But now they desire a better
country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their
God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Christians are Pilgrim on earth only and heaven is our perfect home.
(1 Peter 2:11) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as
strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
God bless you all always *
