To all my
Family and Friends: this is a very serious letter that some might not like,
sorry about that!
There is no
time like today to call out to GOD in repentance for our sins. Whatever we
think of ourselves, we are all born a sinner in need of Salvation from eternal
damnation. GOD is Clear that Salvation only comes through JESUS CHRIST, no
matter what we do or how we live our life if we do not recognize that we are a
sinner and ask GOD to Forgive us through The Blood of JESUS that He shed on the
cross about 2000 years ago; we will by default go to eternal judgment – hell.
There is no
doubt what The Bible teaches, the only doubt is what we believe and practice.
There are many who believe The Bible, but they do not live according to what The
Bible teaches. John and Paul are examples of this. Both were young adult Hebrew
men who knew the Torah and The Prophets (what we call the Old Testament). But John
was a working man and Paul was a religious man. John believed in JESUS the
moment he met Him and Paul needed a personal visitation to break the grip of
his false religious training. They both came to be fully committed to following
and serving JESUS the rest of their lives – even to death.
What JESUS taught:
Repent for
The Kingdom of Heaven is here.
Die to
yourself, take up your cross and follow Me every day!
Love your
enemies.
Love your
neighbors as you love yourself.
Love the
Brethren (all other Christians) – lay down your life for them!
KEEP MY
COMMANDS!
John and
Paul reiterate these teachings in their writings, so do Peter, James and Jude.
This started
as a personal letter because of the days in which we live. For those who are
still reading, study The Gospel of John and Paul’s Letter to the Romans, these
are sufficient for anyone who wants to know the truth; remember what JESUS
said, “Then JESUS said to those Jews who believed in Him. ‘If you abide in My
Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the Truth and the Truth
shall make you free.’” John 8:31-32 NKJV emphasis added.
Whatever you
believe about the days in which we live, remember what JESUS said about the End
of Days, “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with
carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and That Day come on you
unexpectedly. For, it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face
of the whole earth. WATCH Therefore, and PRAY Always that you may be counted
worthy to escape all these things that Will Come To Pass, and to Stand before
The Son of Man.” Luke 21:34-36 NKJV emphasis added.
I do want
this to scare you, so that you will not be like me, I spent the first 40 years
of my Christian life serving GOD how I wanted, that included 17 years of open
rebellion (because you cannot serve GOD how you want and not end up in open
rebellion). What scared me was one day reading a scripture that I had read over
many times in my first 40 years of “Christianity”; “Not everyone who says to Me,
“LORD, LORD’, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the Will
of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in That Day, ‘LORD, LORD, have we
not prophesied in Your Name, cast out demons in Your Name and done many wonders
in Your Name?’ And then I will declare to them ‘I Never Knew You, Depart from
Me, You Who Practice Lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV emphasis added.
Matthew 7:13-29 is all about obedience to GOD’s Will! All of JESUS’ teachings
are about obedience to GOD’s Will! You can be doing the works of GOD’s Kingdom
and not be doing His Will for You and therefore not enter into His Eternal
Kingdom of Heaven.
Open your
heart before GOD and let Him show you what displeases Him so that one day you
won’t be surprised to find out that you were not serving His Will for Your Life
but you were being religious or lawless!
JESUS
challenged His Disciples with this teaching that we generally apply to worldly
living, but it also applies to Kingdom living; “Then JESUS said to His Disciples,
‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him Deny Himself and Take Up His Cross
and Follow Me. For Whoever Desires to Save his Life will lose it, but Whoever
Loses his Life For My Sake Will Find It. For What Profit is it to a man if he Gains
The Whole World, and Loses His Own Soul? Or what will a man give in exchange
for his Soul? For The Son of Man will come in The Glory of His Father with
His angels, and then He Will Reward each according to His Works.” Matthew
16:24-27 NKJV emphasis added.
Remember,
according to The Bible rewards are good and bad according to the works, see
Romans 6:23; Psalm 91:8
Finally; “Blessed
are Those Who Do His Commandments, that They May Have the Right to The Tree of
Life and May enter Through the Gates into The City. But, Outside are dogs and
sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and Whoever Loves
and Practices a Lie.” Revelation 22:
14-15 NKJV emphasis added.
Seek GOD
First! GOD Bless, Bob Headrick
