Are you just using Jesus? Receiving Christ in a saving way means preferring Christ over everything. It means desiring Christ himself, not just what he can do for you. It means being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus. Message: “Right with God, Right with Man”

That question cuts through a lot of false religion. Wanting & loving the gifts isn't the same as wanting & loving the gift Giver.

@IIIDeaton This cuts. LORD knows. Jesus, I am so limited in every way. Help me and have mercy on me - even in my thoughts above.

Many people may call me "good," but Jesus said there is no one good, not even one but the Father. Only through Jesus are all of my flaws, sins, and failures, that I've kept secret, forgiven. Because of this truth, I believe that Jesus is my greatest prize after my faith will grow

Why don't you preach the gospel that the prophets, including Messiah, and the apostles taught? Why aren't you keeping and teaching the covenants of promise? Why aren't you loving God and neighbour, according to the scriptures? 1Jn 5:2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.  1Jn 5:3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. If you'd only do as Yah says, you'd be given understanding of the book you pretend to teach from: Act 5:32  And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them 👉that obey him Joh 14:15  If ye love me, 👉keep my commandments.  Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.  Joh 14:19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.  Joh 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.  Joh 14:21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.  Joh 14:22  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?  Joh 14:23  Yeshua answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  Joh 14:24  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.  Joh 14:25  These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.  Joh 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 1Jn 3:24  And he that 👉keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us  1Jn 2:1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Yeshua Messiah the righteous:  1Jn 2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.  1Jn 2:3  👉And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.  1Jn 2:4 👉He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.  1Jn 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.  1Jn 2:6  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.  1Jn 2:7  Brethren, 👉I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.👈  1Jn 2:8  Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.  1Jn 2:9  He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.  1Jn 2:10  He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.  1Jn 2:11  But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. Jas 2:8  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:  Jas 2:9  But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Lev 19:15  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.  Lev 19:16  Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am YEHOVAH.  Lev 19:17  Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.  Lev 19:18  Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am YEHOVAH.

What a load of bollocks! You don't have a clue what the Bible says, so you just make things up! Where is the Father, in your version of 'Heaven'? 1Co 15:27  For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.  1Co 15:28  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. I know you hate the 'old' testament, but you should check out Jeremiah 23, because you're in it, and then see what Paul says about you in 2 Timothy 3.

amen
