A Gospel for Those Who Don’t Deserve it:
Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and worry
about whether there really is life after death?
Are you one of those people that would like to know what, if anything,
comes after this life? Something inside
of you tells you that there must be something to look forward to after you die,
but you don’t know what that is. You may
have tried a church, but found you just didn’t like the people and felt very uncomfortable.
You may have a background or addiction that would make you
feel uneasy to enter a church or you might not want to be bothered with having
to stand or fill out cards or be introduced.
You may be living a lifestyle you know is unacceptable to Christian
society. You may feel anger towards God
and blame God for creating you the way your are, and then condemning you for
being that way. Maybe you’re extremely
wealthy and believe that the church will only be interested in is your money. Maybe you’re extremely poor and are embarrassed
to enter a Church because your clothes are rags and you haven’t bathed in a
while. Maybe you just blame God for a
tragedy that happened in your life or to a loved one.
There is a gospel out there just for you. It isn’t a new gospel, but one has been
around for almost six thousand years.
Almost all religions have parts or variables of this gospel in their
base doctrine. The one I’m going to tell
you about is the genuine one, the original one that hasn’t been altered or
changed by man since its inception.
Let me tell you first of all that there is a God. The original book over 4000 years old, calls
him Elohim, which is a plural word. Elohim is the Jewish name, we know him
simply as God. He created this world and
everything in it, as well as the entire universe and all that’s up there. He has creations much larger and grander than
his creation here on earth. Earth is
but a small part of his creation. He
created people on this earth to join him and enjoy not only this earth, but
also his other creations as well.
Everything was going well until something went wrong down
here on earth. Elohim put one of his
created beings (we know him as Lucifer) to have domain down here on this
earth. One day inequity entered into
Lucifer’s heart and he decided to betray Elohim. He turned people against Elohim and had them
worshipping and lifting him up instead.
The people became so evil that Elohim destroyed his new creation by flood
and started over by saving eight souls from the flood. People began to flourish again but still
turned against Elohim, he decided to try a new approach. Elohim pulled out one man, Abraham, and
created a race of people and gave them a Law, and they were to teach the entire
earth how to live within that Law.
Elohim would then be able to find favor in his creation and not destroy
them again. When people did evil, they
would take an animal specified by the Law to die for their sins. The animal had
to be perfect without spot or blemish.
Then a priest would ceremoniously transfer the evil deeds of the person
to the animal, and the innocence of the animal to the person. Then that person would have to kill the
animal. The animal received the
punishment the person deserved, and the person would receive the innocence the
animal deserved. This was only a
temporary fix however, and this had to be done over and over again. So the Law was good for people, but the Law
was only like a mirror. The Law would
show people what was wrong, but the Law couldn’t fix the wrong. Unfortunately the people God set apart to
become priests of the world, ended up abandoning the Law and turning to the
same evils as all other nations.
The Law’s main purpose was to show people that we all need
God to help us survive and give us hope of something better. Elohim then gave us that something
better. He sent his own Son down here to
earth to purchase it back from the created being that originally took is from
him through deception. As I said
earlier, Elohim is a plural word. There
is God the Father No one has ever looked
upon him, they have only heard his voice.
There is also a Spirit of Elohim.
That spirit would come and visit His teachers and prophets and they
could do Godlike things through that Spirit, but the Spirit was only with them,
not in them. Then there is also a part
of Elohim that would take human form and walk and talk to people. This is the part of Elohim we call the Son.
He has been present since the beginning of earth. He was the part of Elohim that would manifest
Himself to men.
Elohim sent his Son down here to earth to save all people
from death. Elohim allowed his Son to be
sacrificed as the innocent lamb, for everyone.
Elohim created a new law, to believe on this Son and Elohim will apply
the Son’s innocents to your account, and your bad deeds to the Son’s
account. And through this Son you may
find peace with Elohim for all eternity.
With the Son, it doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve
done. Sometimes I see these TV
commercials about some poor little child fighting cancer or living without
shoes or starving and it just breaks my heart and I want so much to be able to
help. That’s the way the Son sees
you. He wants so much to help you and to
know you and love you and wants you to know him. The grace of the Son is like the ocean waves
coming onto the beach. The waves never
end, with one wave after another coming to shore. Jesus constantly forgives and his grace
constantly refreshes you. With the Son, your past does not determine your
future.
There is a great pastor in Singapore
Another truth from Joseph Prince, paraphrased is to assume
Adam fell and when he fell sin entered the earth and all people were born with
sin. There is nothing anyone can do to
remove the sin, all people from that point forward will have to deal with
sin. Whether they are good or bad, all
have sinned. That was the work of the first
man Adam. The work of the Second Adam or
God’s Son Jesus was to remove that sin.
The only act of man to have that sin removed is to believe that the work
of Jesus is greater than the work of Adam.
Most people still think they have sin even if they believe
in Jesus and accept Him in their hearts as their savior. The truth is once you believe and accept Him
as your savior and if you are in Christ, God’s grace takes over and you no
longer have sin accounted to you. You
are forever set free. Christ as the lamb
was killed for your sin, and his innocence and goodness entered you. Only this sacrifice is permanent not
temporary.
We are under God’s grace through Jesus. Understand, it doesn’t matter who you are,
how rich or poor you are, or what addiction or lifestyle you’re battling
with. It isn’t about you. If you accept God’s gift, you will be saved
and free of sin. Jesus did all the work
2000 years ago. God the Father will
apply the righteousness of Jesus to your account and all your sins to His. That’s why Jesus had to suffer so much before
he was crucified. He purchased everyone’s
sin. He paid your price. Accept the gift, believe and you will be
saved.
If you’re addicted to pornography, and are embarrassed to be
around Christians, the Spirit will begin a work in you once you accept the
gift. It may take some time, but you
will see that addiction fade away. Even
so, you will still be saved from death because you believed. Same goes with any addiction or lifestyle.
What is the gift, and what is it that you need to
believe? You must believe three very
simple things. First, that Jesus is the
Son of God. Second, that Jesus was
crucified and died on the cross. Third,
that Jesus rose from the dead after three days.
Believe this, and pray to God the Father and let Him know you believe
this and ask Him to fill you with the righteousness of Christ and to remove
your past sins from your life, and you will be added to God’s book of
life. No one or no thing will ever be
able to remove your name from that book.
When your body dies, your soul will go into eternal life with Christ and
all the other believing souls that went before you.
The above three things are easy to believe, because they are
all three documented in different history books. It would be like not believing Julius Caesar
existed. The proof is in the history
books.
Just always remember, it’s not about you. All you need to do is accept the gift. It’s all about Jesus. He will do all the work
while you rest in Him. You cannot work
your way or earn this gift. You cannot
punish yourself into this free gift. You cannot make this free gift about
you. God wants Jesus lifted up, not
you. Just accept this gift and begin a
new life putting all your thoughts on Jesus constantly day and night and giving
him thanks for your new granted eternal life.
Invite Jesus into your heart, mind and life. Even demons believe in Jesus, but this gift
is not offered to them. It is truly a
wonderful gift to humanity.
I highly recommend trying to find books and messages on the
internet or on TV from Joseph Prince. He
is one of the best bible teachers I’ve heard in a long time. I wish we had some like him in the US
